Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed a Collection account that was added to my XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX credit profiles requesting validation of the debt listed. XXXX deleted this account due to not being able to validate it. XXXX and Equifax did not delete this account, stating it was valid. Neither bureau provided proof of validation as was requested. 

I have since contacted the collection agency for validation and have only received a copy of a ledger. I have notified the XXXX XXXX of a pending lawsuit against the organization they are collecting on behalf of as this debt is both illegal and invalid. The collection company sent me back the documentation claiming it is verification of the debt and they are refusing to remove it. I am in active litigation with the alleged creditor about this false debt and it is extremely detrimental to my lending ability.

Company: Netspend Corporation

Complaint narrative:
Netspend.com has my {$75.00} and wants me to send my photo ID and copy of my SS card in order to activate my XXXX debit card. I generally understand the need to comply with BSA/AML laws XXXX However, they will only accept an email with attachments. This is an unsecured way to transmit confidential data and I am not comfortable doing so. I already have a checking account and debit card with a national bank. I only wanted a pre-paid XXXX XXXXift card. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and did not fully understand this product and its exhorbitant fees. 

I want my money back from this company. I think that the CFPB should require these companies to use larger font on the packaging and plain language to explain that the product is not a gift card and may require additional documentation to be provided to active the balance on the card. Also, as I now understand this product, with proof of ID, the same may be obtained from a bank at NO cost. 

I would really like my money back from this company. Shame on them for taking advantage of people who are not necessarily financially sophisticated.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to resolve my debts that were reported on my credit report. I have settled all but one. On my credit report it shows that XXXX XXXX XXXX holds it for {$920.00}. The phone number attached is XXXX. When I called XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/22 to settle the account by paying the amount in full, I was given a different number of XXXX. That phone number is for XXXX XXXX. When I spoke to someone at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/22 about resolving the debt I was told that it was for {$1100.00}. That is a difference of {$200.00} from what is showing on my credit report. The people on the phone were rude and one even hung up on me. I even have recordings of the phone calls. 
The last person that I spoke to told me that they received the collections from XXXX and that the amount was {$860.00}, so that is a difference of {$260.00}. 

I have recording of all of the phone calls resolving the debts in full, and I have screen shots of the credit report showing the amount that I was trying to pay in full. 

With the amounts being different in multiple ways I would assume this is fraud

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Hello Sir/Madam I got a 30-year conventional loan from XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I am paying PMI on my mortgage as my LTV was higher than 0.8 and it was promised that as soon as my LTV goes below 0.8, my PMI will be deleted. 

In the meantime during XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX is transferred from XXXXXXXX XXXX to Suntrust ( Truist now ). I don't know why and when that happened but when I realized that payment is not deducted from my account, as usual, I reached out to them and made two months ' payment in XXXX. At that time Suntrust mentioned that this will not be a problem because such service change comes with 60 days payment grace period. 

Now, from XX/XX/XXXX, I put a request to Truist to delete my PMI because my LTV is below 0.8. From XX/XX/XXXX, I did numerous mail and call follow-ups but never got a response and they came today and replied that PMI can't be deleted because I had a late payment. I always made my payment on time as it is auto debit from my checking account. They can check all my past XXXX payments and Truist payments till now. There is only one instance and that too when service was changed from XXXX to Suntrust and when I realized did payment to them and that is within 60 days of grace period. 

This is very bad from truist that they took so long and I kept paying PMIs. I request you to please review and let me know if you need supporting documentation. 

Thanks XXXX XXXX
