Company: Asset Recovery Solutions, LLC
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
Over 12 years ago, I had a checking account with XXXX XXXX. I had several outstanding Payday loans, which became overwhelming. I quickly became overdrawn with the bank and received multiple charges for being overdrawn. It became so bad that I my entire check, which was direct deposited, was getting taken by these charges. I went to the bank and told them my problem and asked to close the account so that I could deal with the loans. The bank refused to close my account and continued to amass fees which totaled over several thousand dollars. I, finally, stopped my check from being deposited to XXXX. The continued to bill me these charges until the payday loan companies stopped attempting to collect from them. Now, I am being threatened Asset Recovery Solutions LLC for {$2200.00} I had talked many times with XXXX over ten years ago about trying to explain this billing which I felt was excessive and illegal. They took several thousand in my total paychecks when my account was open with them. I feel that I have overpaid them already and should have debt collection agency bothering me again.

Complaint narrative:
I couldn't believe my credit report when I saw it. The accounts were paid off before it even go to collections..How can this account be charged off and it still showing a remaining balance! This is a total misunderstanding. And how can an account be a charge off for months? I'm trying to get a house, and I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw it! You folks need to delete the accounts. In the mean time, I may not get my house at the rate I can afford! They already raised the rate twice. Please don't leave it this way -- I need to get the house! The above accounts should be reported as positive standing..

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is with Lowes. The card is with Synchrony Bank who handles the Lowes Credit Card. I have 2 fixed rate project loans on my account at XXXX and XXXX percent. The regular purchases are charged at about 27 %. When I make payments they are applying my payments to the fixed rate loans at the low interest rate and letting the regular purchases carry from month to month. This is resulting in a lot of interest being charged to my account. This has happened repeatedly. When I complain they rebate the interest to me and say it is fixed but it isn't fixed and it happens again. Just today I had to call them because I had {$700.00} on the regular purchases at 27 % because they applied my payment for this to the fixed rate I had called them to make the payment and told them specifically to apply the payment to the regular purchases. If I wouldn't have caught it it would have stayed on my account at 27 %. As I said this keeps happening, it is obvious they are doing it on purpose to get more interest. I know by law they have to apply your payments to the higher interest rate. If they are doing it to me they are no doubt doing it to many other people. I think there needs to be an investigation into this.
