Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Unfortunately, I contracted XXXX twice. I subsequently lost my job, my wife also was ill. I contacted the company to make arrangements for deferment or modification. I was denied by the company. I was denied protection given under law by the CARES Act. Under the CARES Act, stating : " XXXX XXXX, former acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), recently stated that the bureau is taking much-needed action to protect consumers, particularly the most economically vulnerable. [ 1 ] As part of this new focus, the CFPB will take aggressive action to ensure that regulated companies follow the law and meet their obligations to assist consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic. [ 2 ] As such, the case for CARES Act examination preparation is stronger than ever. ''

Complaint narrative:
This is from a dispute that the CFPB just closed out. It seems that they are allowing Experian to violate the FCRA by allowing them to skip investigating items & allowing automated responses. A prequalify offer is supposed to be a soft inquiry instead of a hard inquiry. Stop with the automated responses & not taking action XXXX did a hard pull without my authorization so therefore it needs to be removed

Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, I went to the bank and made a withdrawal. On the same day the bank processed another customer 's withdrawal against my account. 

On the XX/XX/XXXX I noticed the transaction, called the bank and they opened a fraud case and deactivated/blocked my account. 20 minutes after that call, I examined the image posted to my account and called back the bank to let them know that the " fraud '' transaction didn't have my account nor signature. It was the bank 's error because the customer had correctly filled out their withdrawal slip. 
In light of this I asked for the block to be lifted from my account. I was told that I would have to go to the branch to have this done. I was told neither customer service nor the fraud department can remove blocks from account. 

In an attempt to have access to my account I have been to the branch twice, made innumerable calls to customer service and been transferred to multiple departments with no success. Today I still have no access to my account and I'm still being given the run around. Ie. being punished for a problem that was no fault of mine.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an alert from XXXX XXXX that my credit score went from XXXX to XXXX with the description of changes detailing balance decreases of 2 of my credit accounts. 
The following week of XX/XX/XXXX I received another alert form XXXX XXXX that my score dropped XXXX points w/ the description of changes being another balance decrease of a different credit account. 
I believe I called Transunion that following week to inquire about the points drop but I didnt start taking names until I spoke with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( It was then I learned that you have to keep calling until you get a rep that will actually transfer you to a supervisor, most reps will tell you there isnt one available and tell you someone will have to call you back, which NEVER happens ). 
But eventually I spoke with a supervisor named XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX who couldnt explain the drop in points specifically ( like previous reps she provided me with scripted scenarios of what makes points go up and down, none of which applied to me ) after a longer discussion XXXX informed me that they were not allowed to give specific info about my credit score/account over the phone and recommended I pay for their website service for a better description of my account details. 
So reluctantly I did, and of course it didnt helpso eventually I called back and after several attempts at the game to get another supervisor I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I explained to her my situation and like the previous reps/supervisors she gave me the scripted description of what could make a score go open and down and like everyone else she had NO specific explanation why my score dropped XXXX points and even more surprising she claimed that Transunion didnt have specific details to elaborate to customers to explain their point system. In addition she also couldnt explain why on their ( Transunions ) website ( that I jus paid for ) there is a score trending graph that tracks your credit score my graph shows that my score has been XXXX consistently for a whole year ( which is not possible considering scores will change at least monthly ) she acknowledge that that shouldnt be but couldnt explain why it was. 
We went back and forth with a few scenarios, I asked what if it drops another XXXX, XXXX or XXXX points today or tomorrow and eventually her II dont know or jus silence to my questions became irritating. So obviously having no answers for me at all I finally asked if there was someone else I could speak with and she said no but surprisingly she recommended that a file a complaint with The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I sent a certified letter to the 3 credit agencies requesting that they verify a bankruptcy claim that is listed on my credit report with them. I also contacted a United States Bankruptcy court in my state to find out if they were reporting this said Bankruptcy. I received a letter from the local United States Bankruptcy Court that they do NOT report any items to any credit agency and that Credit Agencies use 3rd party vendors to obtain public information. I then received a response from all 3 credit agencies in XXXX " validating '' the bankruptcy information but did not state how it was verified. I then sent another letter requesting a reinvestigation and the steps and companies they used to validate such information. All 3 responded that they verified the information via XXXX. 

I contacted XXXX directly and asked for a complete report of all the information they retain under my name, date of birth, social security number and address. 

On XX/XX/2022 I received the XXXX report and they do not list ANY bankruptcy, which is contrary to all 3 credit bureaus claims and re-investigation into this matter. I have attached the proof of my XXXX report, specifically page 27, where liens, judgements and civil filing records are reported. 

I have attached the complete report for the review and as proof that no such information exists under my name with XXXX and therefore should be removed.
