On XX/XX/2022, I attempted to sell an item on XXXX marketplace and was approached my a scammer posing as a potential buyer. They told me that I had to set up a XXXX  business account for them to be able to transfer money for the item and sent a email that looks like it comes from XXXX. When I sent money to the account they told me to use to set up the business account, I did not get anything in return. Quickly realizing it was a scam I contacted Bank of America immediately and lodged a claim. I waited for BOAs review but the told me they were unable to recover the funds and unable to refund the money because it was XXXX. I made the transaction through the BoA app and I thought it was covered from fraud protection like other transactions because it is part of the same app and clearly branded on the front page. I was misled into thinking zelle was owned or is a part of BoA or at the very least should be covered from fraud.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is regarding Experian 's inability to effectively dispute a item on my credit report that is being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX sold my debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who agreed to remove the item from my credit report after I paid 50 % of the debt. I paid 50 % of the debt in two automated installments but XXXX did not removed the item off of my credit. Instead, they updated my account to {$0.00} owed and partially paid off, which was updated by Experian twice within the last 7 days. 

This seems like double jeopardy. XXXX sold the debt to XXXX XXXX but is still actively holding the credit item on my account. XXXX XXXX agreed to remove the item of I partially paid, and I did. Now, I feel like I was either manipulate by this company, which seems very unethical, or XXXX is being allowed to sell the debt but refuse to comply with the agreement. I will attached a copy of the agreement and a screen shot of the {$0.00} balance reflected on my credit report. 

In this case, who is the legal owner now? XXXX or XXXX XXXX. XXXX must comply with the terms that were made after they sold the debt.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I had two store credit cards which the stores deceivingly advertised as regular credit cards when I was asked at the registers if I wanted to apply. But even though that is beside the case, when I lost my job and had no money, the interest and the late fees doubled the amount of money that I owed on the store cards. When the collection agencies called me cut a deal with me that if I started paying the most I could afford, of {$8.00} a month, they would erase the late fees and the interest and only charge me for what I originally owed. I had been paying this XXXX per month for almost a year and when I checked on my credit report statement there was no record of it and the balance was still the original balance with the interest and late fees included! So they obviously lied to me and scammed me and took my money all this time with out the balance owed even dropping at all!! So they scammed me and deceived me because they got me to pay them the smallest amount I could afford every month for about almost a year and they stole it because it was not deducted at all from the original balance!!
