Complaint narrative:
XXXX is showing that I have two late payments from 2014. My student loans have always been in deferment due to me being in school. I have contacted the loan company about these late payments. I informed them of me being enrolled at the time and explained that my loans should have still been in deferment. I was also in the process of getting my loans consolidated. These late payments are hurting my credit tremendously! I should not have any late payments. As I have stated i have always kept my loans in deferment.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a benefit request with account assure which protects my victoria secrets accounts, account assure paid benefits to both of my accounts. I found out that on XX/XX/XXXX Victoria secret merged the balances of both accounts to one account. My benefits were both approved by account assure creating a XXXX credit on the closed account. I called into Victoria secret to get the credit moved over to the current account, so that would reduce the amount I owe since my XXXX was covered for all charges XX/XX/XXXX and before. I was told a dispute was filed and I would receive a provisional credit on XX/XX/XXXX. I have contacted Victoria secret and comenity and have no luck getting any information. When I logged into my account to check status I see my balance due has double and a balance transfer was completed XX/XX/XXXXfor XXXX the amount that Was a paid benefit from account assure is actually showing as a charge I owe. I have contacted Victoria secret XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and no on has an answer so now my account balance is over XXXX dollars more than it should be as well as its been reporting horribly to my credit report. I have never had so many issues with a company.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Equifax is reporting an open collection account/medical bill in the amount of {$57.00}. I disputed the account by asking for validation of the debt from the reporting agency. Instead, I received my dispute results claiming the debt was verified with no proof whatsoever. I then called the collection company to satisfy this debt. The collection agency could NOT find me in their system by name, address, or social. I then called and spoke with a supervisor at Equifax and she had no explanation as to why they falsely claimed to have verified this debt with a collection agency that has no record of me. They are purposely causing harm to my credit and credit score.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a TV at Amazon, and i used a promotion of 0 % interest for 24 months. As i had 24 months to pay with no interest, i set up an automatic payment thru XXXX XXXX XXXX, to pay a monthly amount until the amount was paid in full. The value of the tv was XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX I voluntarily started sending a monthly amount of XXXX the XXXX of each month, because i had 24 months to pay. By XX/XX/XXXX, i had paid the amount of {$1700.00} plus the remaining balance to pay it off of XXXX= XXXX. My surprise was when i realized that the bank charged me XXXX late fee each month since XX/XX/XXXX, and they charged me interest too, when it was a no interest for 24 months. I spoke to two account managers at XXXX ( XXXX and XXXX ), and they told me that they can only remove a late fee per year. That i had to pay XXXX to pay off the account. I made a payment by phone of the {$200.00}, and then they charged me the same amount back. I told them that i never missed a payment, that i always had the intention to pay, but in my mind i was sending voluntary payments and never thought the bank was charging me late fee for almost 2 and a half years. They did not do much. I dont think it a just practice to pay all those fees when i can prove i was in compliance with my payments to the company, the only thing that was not matching was the due date. I was committed to comply with my obligation with the bank.
