Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Consumer Response Team, I am writing to request your assistance with a matter involving Synchrony Bank, issuer of the Venmo Credit Card, concerning inaccurate credit reporting and their failure to respond to my written correspondence. 

This issue has three parts : A ) Inaccurate Credit Limit Reporting to XXXX  Synchrony Bank is reporting an incorrect historical credit limit for my account to XXXX For every month up until XX/XX/year>, they list my credit limit as {$14000.00}, when the correct limit was {$7000.00} until recently. Only now is my limit {$14000.00}. This misreporting inaccurately inflates my past utilization and negatively affects my credit history. 

B ) Failure to Respond to Mailed Correspondence I have sent multiple letters by mail to Synchrony Bank seeking clarification on whether, after a mistakenly initiated dispute, they rolled my old account into a new one or if two separate line items will appear on my credit report. They have refused to respond in writing. This lack of communication prevents me from verifying the accuracy of my credit report and account status. 

C ) Risk of Duplicate Line Items on Credit Report Primary Concern The number one outcome I want is for only one line item from Venmo/Synchrony to appear on my XXXX credit report. Synchrony is absolutely refusing to cooperate or provide any clarity on this issue. I kindly ask for your help to ensure that Synchrony : - Confirms to me in writing that only one line item will appear,- Immediately updates XXXX to reflect this correction NOW not six months from now.

Requested Resolution : I ask that the CFPB require Synchrony Bank to : 1. Immediately correct my XXXX report to reflect accurate historical credit limits. 
2. Provide me with written confirmation that only one account line item will appear on my credit report and that the update to XXXX  will happen immediately.

3. Clarify in writing whether my account was rolled into a new one or remains the same.

4. Provide me with a mailed written response confirming these actions.

I believe these issues violate fair credit reporting obligations and consumer communication standards. Synchronys refusal to respond in writing has left me no choice but to seek regulatory intervention. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am happy to provide documentation, copies of correspondence, and credit report screenshots if needed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Email : XXXX XXXX

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I visited XXXX XXXX to purchase a necklace and bracelet. The sales representative informed me that the specific type I was seeking was not available in-store and offered an alternate option. I agreed to the alternate option and purchased both items. I took the necklace home the same day, while the bracelet remained at the store to be resized. 

Three days later, I returned the necklace due to visible tarnishing. At the time of purchase, the sales representative had assured me that if I was not satisfied with my purchase, I would be entitled to either a refund or an exchange. 

While the manager was out of town, I was misled by the sales agent in multiple ways. I was first provided with a receipt stating that the store would locate the original necklace I had ordered the day of purchase. I was later informed that this was not possible, and instead was told they would have to dip the necklace. This practice is unacceptable, as the necklace had been sold to me as gold, yet the need for dipping indicated that it was not real gold. 

I visited the store on two separate occasions to resolve the matter and was told both times that the manager was in New York and would return the following week. When I eventually spoke with the manager, he stated that he wished to maintain a good business relationship and would make things right. He assured me that I would receive a full refund. 

Despite this assurance, I did not receive the full refund as promised. I have contacted the manager directly multiple times and still can not get assistance on this issue. I have also reached out to Affirm, the financing company, on several occasions and was denied help each time. 

I have never been late on a payment, yet this unresolved matter has now been reported to my credit due to the managers failure to fulfill his commitment. This has negatively affected my credit history and standing.

Complaint narrative:
This is my follow-up complaint 2 : I am filing a formal complaint against Shellpoint Mortgage ( Newrez LLC ) , whose servicing practices have caused severe distress and financial harm despite my consistent on-time payments via automated bank bill pay. Shellpoint has misapplied payments, charged unjust late and inspection fees, changed payment amounts without explanation, ignored documentation requests, and continued harassing communicationseven when accounts are current. Their customer service is ineffective, and their actions appear to intentionally manufacture defaults to generate fees or pressure refinancing. These issues are not isolated, as many consumers report similar experiences. I urge your office to investigate Shellpoint for potentially unfair or abusive practices. I can provide full documentation upon request and have also submitted this to the CFPB. As a XXXX XXXX XXXX the stress is affecting my health, and I need urgent help. Please confirm receipt and advise on next steps. 

I have attached my original letter and response as well.

They allow you to state your name, social Security number, and phone number over the phone and online and leave you hanging on the phone with no reply from anyone at any time. Why do they have the ability to do this? Get some freaking people in the human resources department and get these XXXX to do their job!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over XXXX  days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section XXXX ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX  ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within XXXX  days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than XXXX  days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to dispute inaccurate late payment notations being reported on my credit file for an account that, to my knowledge and records, has been paid as agreed and never late. 

I want to be very clear here : I am requesting validation of these reported late payments, because as someone who monitors their credit closely and makes every effort to pay on time, this came as a complete surprise. If youre going to report something as serious and damaging as a late payment, it better be backed by clear, verifiable, and accurate documentation not vague data or automated reporting errors. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX  ), you are required to report information that is 100 % accurate, complete, and not misleading. Reporting a consumer as late when they have not been late is defamatory, unfairly lowers credit scores, and can create real harm from higher interest rates to declined applications. I am not going to tolerate that on my record, especially when its inaccurate.
