Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from a collections agency, Transworld Systems Inc, claiming that I have an outstanding XXXX charge that had been turned over to collections. I almost always pay for shipping when I am at the XXXX Store so this didn't make sense. I have a basic XXXX account that I rarely use, so I logged into my XXXX account and there are no invoices or charges there. I have also never received an email or mailed invoice from XXXX for this charge. I'm concerned that this is some kind of scam where someone has billed something to my XXXX account. I did an internet search and it seems there are others in my same situation with XXXX and Transworld Systems.

Company: AFNI INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
After sending in the dispute, saying that the debt reported was not mine and did not belong to me and asking for proof to verify it, or delete it. To my knowledge, I discovered that as per the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, it is illegal to collect money for something when you do not have any legal standing to collect that debt. After asking for the debt to be removed since as they can't prove debt validation of a contractual agreement with AFNI. They are illegally trying to collect money from me, and they are hurting my livelihood by reporting fraudulent information on my credit report. They are breaking the law and I take this very seriously. According to the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623. Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors. A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Bank We were long time customers at XXXX and always used our Synchrony card for purchases. My wife and I have used them since first started out as a couple and spent over {$10000.00} over the past 5 years. Multiple beds, frames, mattresses, kitchen tables, entertainment centers, couches, you name it. 

This past XXXX we bought an XXXX couch which was to be delivered in late XXXX early XXXX. Come delivery time XXXX ( owner of XXXX ) had to delay 4x. Now we are getting into XXXX and XXXX says he has part of the couch to deliver so we say ok. He delivers half of the couch and stated the rest would be there by XX/XX/23 at the latest. Come that time it was still not delivered or available. At this point we asked what else we could do, XXXX knowing we were long time customers stated we could purchase those missing pieces elsewhere ( XXXX XXXX  ) and he would reimburse. The total cost of the missing pieces was {$1400.00}. So we purchased them and took the itemized receipt to XXXX who then proceeded to say he would not provide the refund. 

We disputed with Synchrony Bank because the product which we purchase still, to this day, has not been delivered. Synchrony Bank denied our dispute saying that delivery issues must be dealt with through the retailer. We are being charged for a product that has never been delivered feel as though this is unfair and deceptive by both Synchrony and XXXX XXXX.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
There was information on these credit bureaus that related to me. A lot of this information can't be validated because there is no original creditor to validate the information and since I am the only alleged consumer of these accounts then I am the only one that can validate the information on these accounts. Then there's the issue of these so-called investigations that all come back as " accurate '' but pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( e ) who did this credit bureaus interview to get these accurate facts? So if I am the only original consumer then I am the only person that can verify if any of the information can be factual information. And pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 
( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. 
( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. 
( 4 ) There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

And there are a lot of discrepancies in their reporting. 
I never gave anyone permission to furnish or report anything to a credit bureau or consumer reporting agency. 
Since reporting to credit bureaus and other consumer reporting agencies by creditors is voluntary and based on 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) any consumer reporting the agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 1 ) In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. 
( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. 
I have never given any credit bureau or consumer reporting agency my written permission to report to them. 
I sent out letters back in XXXX to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX requesting that they delete the accounts in their system as well as phone calls to all of the agencies since I did not authorize their reporting services. As of today, I have not received a response nor have the account been removed as requested.

Complaint narrative:
Recently I applied for a line of credit with the Bank of America. My credit score is XXXX, I have substantial assets, and I own my own home free and clear. The bank advised me yesterday that there was a problem. On a title search it came up that there was an $ XXXX mortgage on my home taken out in 1987 through XXXX XXXX. And there was no release of lien. The problem is, that I never took out a mortgage with XXXX XXXX  located in XXXX, NY. What apparently happened was that XXXX was in financial difficulty. They merged about that time with XXXX XXXX. And then they were taken over by Bank of American. It looks like XXXX " Cooked the Books '' to increase their valuation before the merger. Now I am having a problem clearing my title.
