Consumer complaint received 2025-10-09 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Synchrony Bank about the charge, and they told me they could reverse the charge, but I had already had a credit given for a purchase in 2024. I was told to eliminate any future charges I must go to electronic statements. I immediately had them switch me to electronic statements, but they refused to change my current statement. My problem is that I have other credit card accounts with Synchrony and they do NOT charge for a monthly paper statement, why are Lowe 's customers? Also, in order to receive an electronic statement, I have to make sure my home has internet or cellphone service. Can I charge Synchrony Bank for those fees? Also, if the internet has a disruption and my statement is not delivered will they waive any late fees that may incur? With the rising interest rates on credit cards and the fees merchandisers are charging to use your card lately do we really need another charge like paper statement fees? This has to stop!!!

Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Global Lending Services LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I received a phone call from a representative of Global Lending Services regarding my auto loan. The caller asked for me by name. I asked them to identify the company they were calling from, but the representative refused. When I reminded them that under the FDCPA they are required to identify themselves and their company, the representative immediately hung up.

I later confirmed the phone number belongs to Global Lending Services. I understand I am behind on my car payments ( APR is 26.47 % ), and I recently spoke with the company last week to authorize a payment draft. My loan is also accruing approximately {$9.00} in interest per day, which makes it very difficult to remain current. However, their refusal to identify themselves before attempting to verify my identity is not in compliance with the FDCPA.

This communication tactic was unprofessional and misleading. I am requesting that Global Lending Services comply with the FDCPA in all future calls, provide written validation of my debt, and review my account for possible relief or modification due to the excessively high APR and daily interest burden.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The reported entries are inaccurate and do not reflect my true payment history. I have made several attempts to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, but no substantial action has been taken. Even after submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the errors remain unresolved. This situation has created financial hardship and has significantly impacted my well-being. Addressing these inaccuracies has become a stressful and exhausting process. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that truthfully represents my financial history, including the prompt correction of any outdated or incorrect information. I respectfully request immediate action to correct or remove these late payment entries. Failure to do so would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a swift and appropriate resolution.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Chimes handling of disputes particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Chime numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Chime failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was infeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Chime has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.
