Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
My wife and I bought a new bed from Mattress Firm, around XXXX XXXX, with a promotion of 6 years interest free payments. Synchrony is who services this financing. XX/XX/XXXX was when the first payment was due. I set up my payment information/autopay to pay the minimum as dictated by the terms of the agreement. Synchrony, however, deducted the remaining balance, in full, from my checking without my consent in violation of what I set as the payment as per the terms of Mattress Firm 's promotion. 

I discovered this on XX/XX/year> and called Synchrony. They have agreed to refund and send me a check ( 7-10 Business days ) for the overcharged amount for last month. I will be missing a significant amount of money for up to a 5 weeks that never should of been deducted. If I didn't have the funds in my account Synchrony would of caused an Overdraft affecting my credit. This also stresses us fiscally as we set our budget with a certain payment planned for but with such a large amount taken it stresses us making our other financial obligations even temporarily. 

I am a bit concerned, since it seemed as the person who helped me had a script they were following which makes it seems like this might be all to common an occurrence.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
