In addition, I am including screenshots of the XXXX XXXX account that shows on my XXXX and XXXX, showing that they have followed XXXXXXXX XXXX  resolution of the situation and suppressed the negative payments for those months.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have been paying my Amazon store and my paypal credit accounts religiously for years and the only time I had any issues paying on time or just passed the due date was during the initial months of the covid crisis. Synchrony decided to close my auto care card in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX during the main time of covid when every other credit and financial company was helping their clients. After they closed the account, I appealed the closure, that in turn got denied. After that, I told them they wouldn't see a dime paid towards the account and I have kept that promise on that specific account. All open accounts were caught up and kept in good standing before and after covid without question. I have made the payments since learning of said closure of these two ( Amazon and Paypal credit ) in good faith that these two will be reopened.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification that tLockhart, Morris & Montgomery , LLC was trying to collect a debt of {$100.00} on an account from XXXX.

I was told it was my account and I needed to pay it. She could provide me with a copy of the bill. I told her to mail it to me. I have heard nothing from this company until Monday XX/XX/XXXX, when I received a notification that this company had placed a collections on my credit report. I disputed the collections account on with XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from the collections company dated XX/XX/XXXX stating they were not able to confirm this as my debt and would be closing the file. However it was sent as a reported collections during a dispute and after the collection agency confirmed they could not confirm this as my debt. Under the fair credit reporting they are not supposed to report a collection account until the dispute is completed. I have contacted the collection agency and advised them of my rights. They have said they will put a rush on the removal from my credit reporting within XXXX hours. This is an unacceptable practice and the company should be held responsible for their actions.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, To whomever this finds, I hope you are doing well! 

I have been tirelessly trying to fix a XXXX day late error on my credit report that has dropped my score more than XXXX points since XXXX. 

The company in question is Barclays/Barlcaycardus . 

On XX/XX/2020 I made an on-time payment of {$250.00} to my credit card account. On XX/XX/2020 I received an email stating that the payment was received by Barclaycard/Luxurycard . I have photos/screenshots proving this statement. 

When attempting to make a payment on XX/XX/2020, I was prompted with a past-due 30 day late payment for the month of XXXX. When reaching out to Barclays via phone immediately, I was told that no payment was made in XXXX, and the payment never posted to the account. I told them I received XXXX communication from them stating this prior to my phone call, and was told there was nothing they could do. 

In XXXX of that year I wrote to the Executive Office of Barclays US and told them the story I told you. They investigated the matter and also told me there was nothing to be done and they need to report accurately and the XXXX day late was accurate. However, they also told me that they have no record of their own company sending any notification, email or text/phone call, letting me know the payment didn't go through. The App also reflected that a payment was made.. 

This is the kind of scenario that destroys trust among customers with large institutions and it needs to be looked into. I have been denied loans and come under scrutiny during credit checks because of this. This was not my fault and I should not have to bear the responsibilities of Barclays ( lack of ) actions. 

Best Regards
