Company: Ivy Street Development Corp.

Complaint narrative:
I did not know this amount was still owed until I saw it on my credit report a couple of years ago. I immediately contacted Southern Tier credit and paid the {$53.00}. It was removed from both my XXXX and my XXXX XXXX accounts. I have just now requested a report from your organization and found that it was not removed there. I think it was an XXXX XXXX bill that I didn't remember receiving, all the others were paid. I am not sure who to contact now. Southern Tier?

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
In early 2020 my identity was stolen, I called all my Synchrony accounts and had them put on hold. I was promised that I would not be charged for anything I did not purchase. Since that time I have been complained to Synchrony SYNCB/Amazon that I did not make these charges, but they still filed a complaint on my credit report due over 90 days. The amount is {$870.00}, as at the time I had canceled SYNCB/PAYPAL, SYNCB/LOWE 'S, SYNCB/HOMEDEPOT , SYNCB/AMAZON AND several other just through SYNCB ? The number I was given on the back of my credit card was in a foreign country, I could not understand their English and they could not understand me.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent matter pertaining to my credit report. On XX/XX/2023, I initiated a dispute with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a debt associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX totaling {$7000.00}. I firmly believe this information to be inaccurate and not reflective of any valid debt I owe. 

I have notified XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX directly of this dispute, as stipulated in 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which mandates a timely reinvestigation by the consumer reporting agency. Regrettably, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has not conducted this required reinvestigation within the mandated 30-day period.

The inaccurate debt on my credit report is severely impacting my financial prospects, including my ability to secure housing and make informed financial decisions. Therefore, I urgently request that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX conducts a thorough reinvestigation into the disputed information and rectifies any inaccuracies promptly, including the removal of the disputed item from my credit file if found to be inaccurate. 

I also urge XXXX, XXXX, and Experian to ensure that accurate and up-to-date information is reported in compliance with the law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request your immediate action to resolve this issue in compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1681i. 

Sincerely,

I used the service CashApp to send a payment to a merchant/individual for a moving service that promoted a 50 % discounted price for household items. The merchant/individual requested that I send {$890.00} through CashApp for their service, in which I sent the payment on XX/XX/2023. After sending the payment, the merchant/individual did not complete the service and upon asking for a refund, the merchant/individual blocked me from communication through XXXX and from their mobile number. I submitted a dispute on on XX/XX/2023 to get my funds back in which CashApp said it would take 10 business days to investigate the dispute on XX/XX/2023 CashApp denied my dispute and stated to call to receive supporting documentation of their findings upon calling, they did not provide support to base their decision and refused my supporting documentation that I was indeed scammed. I spoke to two representatives, the first representative hung up in my face and refused to let me speak to a manager, the second representative told me that they don't have supporting documentation of the decision but that the decision was made because I sent the money and they are unable to refund a transaction and to contact the merchant/individual to request the money back which I have attempted to do and no longer can do because they blocked me. The second representative sent a request for management to contact me and I have not received communication from the manager.

Complaint narrative:
Virginia housing in XXXX Virginia continues to ignore my requests to do a readjustment or assessment on my account so that my monthly payment will show the correction on my monthly payment account. It is not until I call XXXX  that they take my request seriously so this is being sent again. I am attempting to get my monthly payment for XX/XX/2023 adjusted as I just made a large escrow payment that would be in the positive. I will not make my monthly payment or pay any extra fees until this company adjust and respect my request to get the adjustment done. It was done recently due to a large amount of money being put on the account and it was done with no problem once they connected me to the right person with this agency. This is not about company protocol this is about them being lazy and not making the adjustment to take 5 minutes to go to the computer adjust my escrow and have it posted
