Company: Valon Technologies, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I noticed that within XXXX hours for some reason my credit score has fallen tremendously onSept XXXX. I have been researching all day almost trying to figure out what has occurred or going on. I finally detected it after I gained access to my XXXX to freeze my files. But took the time this evening to investigate even more of my suspicions that I noticed on XX/XX/year>, my Valon Mortgage Account. At XXXX, I noticed that I could not log into my account with my credentials and password. I checked again and it was right. The website looked different and I was so puzzled what are they doing and where is my mortgage information or payments etc. Something was off. 
I was upset and closed and retyped XXXX to access my account. I tried my credentials again and it worked. I began researching why my credit score dropped XXXX points on XXXX then went and looked closer at my data on XXXX I did a free credit report inquiry on myself discovered something verysuspicious and tied it to a text message that XXXX  received on XXXX. I could not use my account credentials and password to see what the heck was on this application, I knew something was wrong besides a payment incorrectly applied to my account for XX/XX/year> that they mentioned they would fix also of {$25.00}. Like how can one make an error saying I still owe when I paid it on full on XX/XX/XXXX of the {$830.00} total. How can one not see that and still have the nerve to produce a XXXX mortgage statement like I still have an outstanding late fee of {$25.00}. With a statement saying I'm XXXX days late. How Indicated at unapplied balance {$25.00} to add to {$780.00} when my monthly mortgage payment without late fee is {$810.00}. 


For the suspicions that my account fraudulentlyhad a loan application opened without my request, I demanded an internal investigation to see what employee or who had access to send me a text message on behalf of XXXX XXXX  which is connected to Valon Mortgage. My ticket number regarding the unauthorized mortgage application XXXX which the Customer Service Agent gave me for my record.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I pay my Synchrony XXXX XXXX  4 days in advance with XXXX  XXXX XXXX electronic bill pay. Now every month I receive a late charge of {$41.00} from Synchrony XXXX XXXX. At first they said my payment was late which was not true. A supervisor then said my payment was put on a Service Hold because I made another payment a day later. ( Making 2 payments in close proximity triggers a Hold according to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I was on an online chat wit XXXX and XXXX XXXX and they both refused to answer my question on how to find my statements on the website 8 times. I was on the chat for XXXX hours and they disconnected me 9 times. They were clearly trying to wear me out and disconnect me. Each time I had to go through a lengthy process to log back in and receive security code to return to the useless chat. XXXX XXXX told me the only way to see my statement is to request it with secure messaging. I later found it by myself. 

I have proof from XXXX  XXXX XXXX that I paid early but they both refused to tell me how I could send it. They only waive late fees once/year. IT IS CRIMINAL THAT I RECEIVED A {$41.00} LATE FEE FOR MAKING MULTIPLE EARLY PAYMENTS WELL OVER THE MINIMUM. 

XXXX is a criminal enterprise fleecing the public with late fees. There is no XXXX competent or intelligent enough to resolve this with. They have limited comprehension and their systems are broken. 

The phone message says that even if paid electronically it needs to arrive 6 days in advance. Therefore they have a false due date. XXXX  XXXX XXXX guaentees that it will arrive on the date set. I have proof that it was. XXXX delayed processing of it to generate {$41.00} late fee. They started doing this in 2024 and have charged me {$41.00} every month despite paying more than the minimum due 4 days early. 

It appears that the only way to deal with XXXX is with the XXXX XXXX XXXX and FDIC. 

I want to speak with someone competent that understands XXXX. 

Account number is unavailable since never received a paper statement. Online statement only shows last XXXX digits. They have NEVER provided an account number.

Complaint narrative:
My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company 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 in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed 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. 

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal dispute regarding a collection account that has been inaccurately placed on my credit report. The following concerns form the basis of my dispute : Validation of Debt : The collection agency has not provided validation information as required under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), yet they have reported this collection account on my credit report. This failure to provide proper validation is a violation of federal law.

Right to Dispute : I have not been given the opportunity to dispute this debt according to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). The collection agency 's actions have denied me my right to challenge the validity of the debt within the legally allowed time frame.

Misleading Information : The collection agency is violating my consumer rights by providing misleading, deceptive, and incorrect information regarding the nature of the debt. Their misrepresentation of the facts is contrary to the protections offered by consumer rights laws.

Furnishing of Information : The collection agency has no authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without providing all disclosures required by law, including but not limited to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( 7 ) ( A ) .I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that the collection is either properly validated or removed from my credit report. I also ask that the CFPB hold the collection agency accountable for their non-compliance with the relevant consumer protection laws.

Please let me know if you require any further information. 

Sincerely, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
