Complaint narrative:
The representative could not provide me with information about the amount owed other than who the original creditor was. I was asked to provide the collection company with information of what I owed them instead of them providing me with information about the amount of money that they were trying to collect. I asked to be provided proof of debt, including but not limited to, payment history, interest accumulation, and fees to verify the amount owed.

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from a credit card co. that my account was closed because it was past due, but I was unaware of a balance because they stopped sending a statement, and they did n't send an e-mail notification either. I paid the outstanding balance, which included {$99.00} in fees plus interest, because I thought it may have been my error, but after researching the matter realized it was n't. now they say because the account is closed and the balance has been paid off they ca n't refundthose fees. I have always up to that point paid my bills on time. This has had an impact on my credit rating.

Complaint narrative:
Care Credit miss reported me as deceased. I have called them several times to get this corrected. Because of the miss reporting, my credit scores across all bureaus went to XXXX while trying to refinance my current home loan, I was denied because of this. After several attempts to get it straight they seem to have charged off the debt I was trying to pay on time. Because of their error, I was not allowed to ever make a payment on my account as it was closed due to me being deceased. Now due to the charge off the only credit bureau reporting a score has dropped my score massively due to their error. I need help in recovering my credit scores. I also need them to remove the charge off from my credit. And they should be responsible for the remaining portion of the balance as I have lost out on several thousand dollars due to their error.

State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
on Saturday, XXXX XXXX, 2016, I called Conns at XXXX and advised the person who answer ( no name ) that I had become unemployed and was unable to make the payments. She asked me when I would like the merchandise to be picked up. I asked if Conns had a lien on the merchandise, such as a UCC filing. She advised that she did n't know. I told her that before I went any further, I wanted to consult with my attorney. Immediately after I said Attorney, the original phone person dropped from the line and I was then speaking with XXXX XXXX. I advised XXXX XXXX that I was unable to make the payments due to unemployment. I then asked what the terms were on my account, more specifically, the interest rate. He said that because I was late, the original 0 % was gone and interest had accrued from the original date of purchase. I asked again, at what interest rate. He said something like {$700.00}. I said, this is not a interest rate, I need to know what my interest rate is. He said 21. I said 21 what? he said 21 %. I said 21 % per what period. He was unwilling or unable to answer this question, only to say I would have to pay all the interest. Again I asked, At what rate. XXXX XXXX said XXXX. I asked " 27 % per what? '' attempting to find out the terms. XXXX XXXX again said " 27 % ''. To which I asked " 27 % per what, per month, per year, per day? XXXX XXXX, you can not just say a number without a time frame. Interest is calculated over time. Am I paying 27 % per month or per year? ". Again he only said " XXXX ''. I then asked him what the APR is. He said " your interest rate is 27 % ''. I replied with " that was not my question. What is the APR I am paying to Conns. He again said " XXXX ''. I asked " XXXX per what ''. He then said " XXXX XXXX, your interest charges are going be be at least {$700.00}. ". Again I asked " at what rate ''. Finally it was clear that XXXX XXXX and Conns was acting in bad faith and not wanting to disclose my APR to me. I still have no idea what the rate is that they are requiring me to pay. The conversation ended with XXXX XXXX indicating that Conns wanted to come pick up the appliances. I ask again if they had a lien on the appliances. XXXX XXXX became very curt at this point. I told him that I thought I should talk to an attorney before continuing the conversation. At that point he demanded payment and offered to post date a check. I advised XXXX XXXX that I no longer felt comfortable in speaking with him and ended the call. I simply want to know if Conns has a lien on the property and what my interest rates are, as the did not provide this information at the time of the purchase. I need this information to present to my attorney for a possible bankruptcy filing, which I disclosed to XXXX XXXX. This is a nightmare. Conns calls my cell phone all day and night, but is unwilling to tell me the terms so I can decide how to move forward. Thank you for the help and sorry about the long rant. - RN

Complaint narrative:
Please let me start with some past experiences that are my rationales for my complaints. I have experienced fraud several times since 2010 and now choose to pay most of my bills online and am still setting up a paperless system. My COMPLAINT : CareCredit/Synchrony Bank -- I was recently was told I was being connected to synchrony bank and was connected to the wrong bank from another account ( Amazon XXXX. They were asking my entire social security number and other things I felt uncomfortable with and that 's how I found out the phone call had connected me to the wrong bank which added more concerens for this complaint I will explain now : My problem : I am taking extra precautions so ... I have tried so many times to sign onto my CareCredit account to make payments to my bill and the site does not allow me to, it says it does n't recognize me. Long story short, after a few months of trying I finally called. I was told by synchrony bank I had a late payment so they " locked '' my online account ( causing me further late payments as I am unable to do this during the day so I have been up all hours late night with NO clue what is wrong ) I have NEVER heard of locking online access because a payment is late and insisting it be paid by phone. I do NOT feel comfortable paying by phone and I told them this sounded like a racket to incur more finance charges rather than " ALLOW '' a customer to pay their bills on time. I also mentioned to the rep/supervisor I was so upset by this, I may file a class action law suit because it was their fault I can not even access my own account online as I am unable to do this during normal business hours. He then removed those late charges but I can not see anything for sure to confirm this in my account because it 's locked! I do not want to pay by phone! I can not keep track of what I do by phone, mail/paper mess everywhere, and I have no proof etc., I have problems and have been scared with phony calls too many times by phone lately so I am insisting to to have access to my account but they are refusing unless I pay to catch up. I want to but NOT by phone. I can not afford to lose one more penny and I do n't want to use mail because again, I still can not see whats going on. ONline I can take a screen pic of what I am seeing.

Complaint narrative:
My credit card issued by Barclays was closed without notice. I received a notice saying the account was closed for 'unusual account activity ' and that my credit was not use in the decision. I would like my XXXX $ annual fee refunded, and the XXXX $ in unclaimed rewards credited to my account. The bank would not provide further explanation as to why my account was closed, and they refused to credit my account for the unused points or already paid annual fee. I find this behavior akin to a bait-and-switch. I used this credit card under the pretense of earning rewards, until the bank decides to unilaterally close the account and deem my earned rewards void.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased an engagement ring on or about XX/XX/XXXX and secured credit through Sychrony Financial. I have consistently paid timely and in amounts 2 to 3 times greater than the minimum required amount. I conduct all of my banking electronically. I received all notifictions through email and paid accordingly. Conspicuously, in the month XXXX XXXX, I received no email from Sychrony and therefore missed a payment XX/XX/XXXX ( I had last paid Synchrony on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). The emails resumed and I noticed on my XXXX statement that the minimum payment had increased so I made a payment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I planned on making another payment today XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and upon looking into the account I realized that I was not only charged XXXX late fees but was also charged a 30 % interest payment of {$1000.00}. I immediately called Synchrony and was informed that I was charged the interest because I had n't paid off the balance in full by the end of the promotional period. I informed the representative that I had n't received any notification XX/XX/XXXX which is why I had missed a payment in XX/XX/XXXX and was not informed that the promotion was ending. I asked if I could pay the balance in full minus the interest charge and he informed me that I could not pay off the balance without paying the interest. I have excellent credit history and have paid this Synchrony line of credit consistently and in excess of the required payment amount since the first payment. I had planned to pay off the balance in full prior to the end of the promotional period but I was not informed that the promotion was ending. I only discovered this upon calling today. I was unaware that there were any issues with my account because I had been so consistent in my payments and had not received any notification to indicate that there was a problem. Upon reviewing my emails, I discovered that I had not received any emails from Synchrony XX/XX/XXXX. I can only conclude that the coincidence of this omission of notification was intentional and that Synchrony Financial intended to fail to inform me of the expiration of the promotion in order to secure a usurious interest payment from a responsible customer.

Complaint narrative:
I built a new construction home in XXXX XXXX, TN with the home builder NVR, INC., operating under their Tennessee XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was promised {$4500.00} in closing costs which was arbitrarily reduced to {$1500.00} when I did not use their affiliate mortgage company and title company. I was pressured with a week left before my closing to sign documents altering the contract reducing their contribution of closing costs by {$3000.00}. I did not plan for this and was forced to tap into my XXXX retirement savings account and pay the penalties associated. I was also forced to sign other documents a week before closing related to my use of an independent lender and title company. The pressure and steering to use the affiliated companies were extremely discouraging. I thought XXXX XXXX were to represent the TRANSACTION between buyer and seller? How can I be forced to use a title company affiliate. I did shopping for my mortgage with several lenders and I feel confident that the rates and junk fees quoted by NVR 's affiliate did NOT represent averages for the industry.
