Consumer complaint received 2023-04-06 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
First let me state that I my information has been compromised by XXXX Data Breach as well as XXXX Data Breach. I noticed a recent charge on my credit report initially from XXXX, dba XXXX. Per CFPB Validation Notice Letter, a precise request, following CFPB guidelines, on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX. Per CFBP Debt collection rules and Debt collection rights ; XXXX failed to follow CFPB guidelines and comply with FCRA and FDCPA " VALIDATION '' per the letters request, within the 30-day guideline ( XXXX ). 
The company, XXXX sent a noncompliant response, dated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX providing an " enclosed account summary which provides " verification of debt, '' NOT VALIDATION ( see attached ), not in compliance with FCRA nor FDCPA. XXXX failed to VALIDATE within the 30-day deadline. In addition to violating FCRA and FDCPA, XXXX requested " contact one of their Customer Service Representative . '' A debt Validation Notice was sent via certified mail to XXXX On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, which XXXX acknowledged receiving ( see attachment ) a copy of the letter on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; per certified documentation. However, XXXX in their written communication responded as XXXX XXXX XXXX & but are reporting to credit bureau as XXXX. 
It appears that this company is practicing unscrupulous monopolizing practices and is unable to decide if they are XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX ; either way, it is illegal to report the same debt ( double dip ) as two separate companies. It's called " monopolization '' and under FTC regulations, it is violating 9-28.000 it's illegal. As such, I've also filed a complaint with DOJ with their documentation as well regarding debt reporting as two separate companies ; i.e. sending correspondences as XXXX and reporting to credit bureau as XXXX on my credit report. 
Again, XXXX XXXX failed to comply with CFPB guidelines, FCRA nor FDCPA, Validation Notice Letter as set forth by US Congress . 
Either way, XXXX failed to comply with the 30-day regulation by failing to validate the debt ( see attached Validation Notice Letter sent ) ; as such, failure to comply requires that XXXX must immediately remove/stop negatively reporting to all 3 credit bureaus. 

Additionally, I had accounts with Synchrony Bank ( Care Credit ) & paid my debt. I also called PayPal and spoke with a representative that stated I 'did not have an account that I owed at PayPal . ' When I asked if she could send me an email confirming it ; she stated I 'did n't need one b/c I didn't owe anything. ' I know the company records their messages and can listen to the message.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan — Title loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: TMX Finance LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had applied and taken out a title loan with title max, in which I go to make my payments faithfully every month never been late and had only one time where I paid it on the due date. I go to check when my next payment is due and noticed that my payoff amount isnt going down and was only showing at the time that only {$100.00} debt has been made into it when my payment is over that amount on a monthly basis so I was confused. So then i called the branch in which I had asked what was the reason for my loan amount getting higher when payments are being made and never been late nor missed? They told me that you have to pay more than your monthly amount or we get charged more fees. I then was mad and went and relooked over my agreement paperwork and seen they have my loan payoff at XXXX and change when my loan was only XXXX and the percentage rate was over 40 %. This has been absolutely awful because now I feel trapped and in fear of losing my vehicle because no matter how much I pay it off its never going down and I dont have enough to pay it off all at once otherwise I would of done that. This is just ridiculous and unfair and I think this is being done illegally and taking advantage of people to steal their cars from them.

State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 U.S.C 1681 & Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15 U.S.C 1692 credit management LP Account # XXXX, has violated my rights. 

Credit management LP response to my complaint on the XXXX XXXX XXXX goes as follows '' They state that they did not enter into a contractual agreement with you or provide you with a product or service. '' So If there is NO legal binding contract that I signed with this company stating that I will pay credit management LP for the amount they requested, then this illegal, erroneous and inaccurate account needs to be removed from my consumer reports. 

Credit management LP has gone as far as to " Park Debt '' onto my Consumer report without ANY PRIOR contact with me to verify or validate that this is accurate.This Tactic is knowingly Illegal as seen the FTC 's case against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Case No. 4:20-cv-01674. This is a complete violation to my consumer rights an punishable by {$1000.00} damages per 15 U.S. Code 1681. 

Credit management LP have also committed violations : 806. Harassment and abuse 807. False or misleading representations 808. Unfair practices 809. Validation of debts Punishable each by {$1000.00} in damages. I Have sent a debt validation letter to request for proper validation of this alleged debt to be done. Notice I NEVER said debt VERIFICATION I Said DEBT VALIDATION. Do not send me a bill, copy of a statement, a letter with the debt only on it, or anything other of the scare tactics debt collectors try to use. If what you sent isn't in correspondence to 12 CFR part 1006.34 Regulation F, then do not even send It and delete the account. You must also be aware I am disputing this alleged debt and that until you validate this debt, you can neither continue collection activities nor report this information on my credit report. As stated in Regulation F part 1006.34 ( c ) ( 3 ) SO as the LAW states you must NOW CEASE ALL collection attempts and remove this ALLEGED DEBT from all my consumer reports until you VALIDATE that this debt is indeed mine. Or I will file for litigation for monetary damages. And we both know would lose sole based off the fact that you have no evidence of PRIOR COMMUNICATION with me either electronically, orally, or through mail as stated by the FCRA before you decided to park invalidated and inaccurate debt on my consumer reports. I will not be sending 5 - 10 letters back and forth with this company I'm only sending 2, and if you decide to be willfully non complaint I will add that to the punitive damages.
