Complaint narrative:
I am writing in response to the recent communication I received from your company regarding the collection of a debt. I would like to bring to your attention that I have not entered into any contractual agreement with your company, nor have I authorized the transfer of my debt from the original creditor. 

It has come to my attention that you have purchased the debt from Cap One. While I acknowledge that there may be an outstanding debt, I must emphasize that your company does not have any legal right to collect this debt from me. 

I kindly request that you provide me with proper documentation proving your legal authority to collect this debt. This includes a signed agreement or contract between your company and myself, clearly indicating my consent to transfer the debt to your organization. If you fail to provide such documentation, I must insist that you cease all collection activities and remove any negative remarks or listings related to this debt from my credit report. 

Please consider this letter as my formal dispute of the debt and a request for verification of its validity. I also request that you provide me with a written response within 30 days of receiving this letter, confirming the actions you have taken to resolve this matter. Failure to respond within the given timeframe will be interpreted as an acknowledgment of the debt 's invalidity and will result in further actions to protect my rights. 

I would like to remind you that it is your legal obligation to adhere to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and all other applicable laws and regulations governing debt collection. Any violation of these laws will not be taken lightly, and I reserve the right to pursue legal action if necessary. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a swift resolution. Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number or email address provided above. 

Thank you for your cooperation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2024 I received a notice of " Important Changes to Your Account Terms '' from Synchrony Bank, the issuers of the Lowe 's store credit card. In addition to their already usurious 31.99 % interest rate on the card for carrying a balance, the company now wants to charge a {$1.00} " Paper Statement Fee '' forcing customers like me who prefer ( or for customers without internet access, need ) mailed paper statements. Internet access is NOT free and it is not currently universal whereas the USPS services the entire U.S.. One should not have to have internet access to avoid this fee. Mailing of bills is a normal expense in this industry ... companies should be able to incentivize customers to switch to emailed statements if they don't mind but companies should NOT be able to punish customers who either can not or prefer to not receive emailed statements. There is a lot of talk about " junk fees '' and this certainly seems a prime candidate!
