Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am new to united states and last year in XX/XX/XXXX I was assigned with my residency, work authorization and social security cards. I was educated as I have to built my credit I always stayed very low and alert on credit applications. I had a credit card issued by my spouse as a shared card initially so I can start my credit reporting but unfortunately that did not help. Hence I applied with XXXX & XXXX ( XXXX & XXXX XXXX ) credit cards as they assist with low limits unsecured and report to all credit bureaus. I was approved and started using the cards and making on-time payments. Also XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX offered me unsecured credit cards and I accepted them. 
Since then I had been trying to access my credit reports on -line with these bureaus ( XXXX / XXXX & Experian ), they always stated that they were unable to verify my identity as I am very new. Never received any supportive assistance. 
Then i registered with XXXX XXXX / XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX so that i can keep checking where i was with my credit score. 
Suddenly i started receiving credit alerts from card companies, personal loan companies & auto finance companies. These alerts were hard inquiries on my report without my authorization. 
So i called XXXX / Experian & XXXX and i asked them to do something about it, again the response was very lame from all the three organizations because they were not able to verify me due to new social security number. Hence i asked them to place a security freeze on my file which i read on the annual credit reporting website. 
The dilemma still did not stop as several inquires were initiated and i kept on getting alerts for the same and finally my score kept going down. 
I raised several disputes with XXXX as XXXX XXXX Experian always said that they can not verify any information for me. 
I seek your assistance for the same as this is affecting my current situation as now i am full time employed with a reputed XXXX institution as a XXXX XXXX and am looking to get a Auto - Loan and i do n't want any such discrepancies affect my purchasing power. 
I have somehow experienced identity Theft too as i keep on receiving several calls from Auto Loan collections agencies asking installment amount on my XXXX XXXX XXXX / Student loan payment. I do n't have any such credits and these calls keep on asking for money. 
I seek your assistance to resolve the same as i tried my best but had no response. Probably if this goes from your organization i am sure they would all wake up and start working on my request and save me from the Fraud inquires.

Complaint narrative:
I hate the fact that I have to file complains on this one credit bureau that is always causing problems failing to comply and the representatives I get on the phone are rude dont listen have attitudes misrepresent the company, give false information and not realizing im documenting everything. THE REPRESENTATIVES ARE RUDE WHEN ASKED TO LOOK OVER A LEGITIMATE MATTER WITH LIGITIMATE FACTS ... 

I disputed a account with Experian recently a account called XXXX XXXX  XXXX THAT THE HAD A IMPROPER NOTATION LISTED FOR YEARS, INCLUDED IN BANKRUPTCY BUT AS WE ESTABLISHED THE BANKRUPTCY WAS NOT MINES THEY DELETED THEREFORE WAS SUPPOSED TO DELETE THAT INCLUDED IN BK ACCOUNT ... .instead what they did was they went in and deleted the notation and leave the account reporting all kinds of false information, to make matters worst they deleted a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account but not the right account, the one that was supposed to be deleted is the one with a balance of {$810.00} the one they deleted was a positive account, this is the second time this month they have deleted a account but not the account that I actually disputed, they deleted the wrong account ... then the rep told me that the data furnisher made the decision to delete the positive account, which they sent me a letter saying they never made that request along with the lettter stating that they never list any account with them with a bankruptcy notation, so experian did that all by themselves, I have full paper trail ... the agent twisted her words on a phone call made today at XXXX eastern standard time, when she first claimed I disputed the account that was deleted, then when I challenged it she said the furnisher did it, which I know is incorrect ... they made me lose 30points on my credit they want to keep bad information thats not supposed to be reported and delete my good information and then be rude and not listen to me and not try to correct the error..

Complaint narrative:
I completed a dispute for an account listed on my credit report as a collection from Portfolio Recovery Associates. Being that I have never done business or signed a contract with them I asked for validation of debt owed in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX,  which is after the allowed 30 day period, that included their " validation of owed debt ''. This letter only states how much was owed at the time. The letter never notified me of my rights under FDCPA and FCRA to dispute any information I deemed as inaccurate.

They threaten me with credit reporting issues and although I advised I couldnt pay, the rep made me feel like I had no choice. I was advised that the only way they would work with me was to setup automatic debits from my account which range from $ 80-89! although I was given a set amount, they never debit that set amount.

Company: Conn's, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Roughly around XX/XX/XXXX I was behind on my monthly payment and I set up a payment arrangement with Conn 's and they accepted it and said once it cleared they would defer my payment and I thought that was the end of it after the transaction cleared, but they continued to call constantly 4-5 times a day. I asked them to stop the frequent calling I was actually trying to recover from a XXXX XXXX and the calls stopped for a while and then started all over again. So now in XX/XX/XXXX I am experiencing the same thing 4-5 times a day maybe more from different numbers which is now getting ridiculous! I've made another payment arrangement divided into 2 payments 1st one has cleared the other one is due on XX/XX/XXXX but in between the payment arrangement the harassing calls continue.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a Gap Credit card while in the store. They opened 2 credit cards in my name ( duplicate ). When I called to get the issue fixed they kept denying that I had 2 accounts open and saying that they did not make a mistake. I used my ID theft service XXXX XXXX and they where able to get them to admit that 2 accounts where opened simply because I had all the proof and paper work and my credit was pulled for 2 different applications. I ended up closing both cards but it still had a negative effect on my credit history. I would like to get those pings off my credit history since Gap was the ones that make the mistake. 

I applied for the credit card in XX/XX/2017.

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This company Convergent called the company my daughter works for in another state asking for my name. The called the company main line which is an XXXX # and we do share the same last name. So immediately those called were looked at as her taking personal calls directly through the company business line. They called 4 or 5 times, and after she told them to stop calling, they still called her company, which I am not affiliated with in any way. So my daughter is in trouble at work because these people were looking for me and kept calling. 

I called them back asked them how they even got her number, they said through skip tracing. I asked him why not contact me directly or send mail. He asked if I never received any mail from this cable company, and I have not. My number is the same as it was back in XX/XX/XXXX and they never called me. 

They told me the debt is on behalf of their client for cable service at my address from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX, I did n't live at this address at that time. I 'm not sure if the original company is trying to put the previous tenants debt on me, but I was not living here until a year later and had no service from them. Actually I had no cable at all. They said the debt was {$1000.00} but its now {$36.00}.

Company: Capital Accounts, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX billed me for services I did n't authorize Since day one I asked for proof of authorization and I will gladly pay this off. All they have is an itemized bill that XXXX XXXX made up and sent to them. No signatures or anything on mybehalf. 

I spoke with XXXX XXXX today. She is a manager in the billing department and the one who has been handling my case. 
She let me know that as of today they only have an itemized bill. This has been the case since day one. 
She always states that they requested proof of authorization from XXXX XXXX office and they are still waiting for it. I asked if theres a timeline or deadline given to their office and she said no. 
So I am just supposed to allow this to remain on my credit for as long as they want to i guess. 

I called back and asked to speak to another manager. They connected me to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX He provided me with a record of dates of when I called. ( listed Below ) He then said that I needed to write a written letter within 30 days of them receiving my file which was on XX/XX/XXXX to let them know I 'm contesting it. But if you look at the dates, I called 2 days after it was submitted to their office and no one let me know about this written protocol. 

I 've always been told by XXXX XXXX that once the Dr office can not prove authorization then all negative marks on my credit will be removed.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have been contacting Synchrony Bank since the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX ( see Attachment 1 ). I recently paid off my card with a {$1900.00} payment, then purchased a new item for {$840.00}. 

An initial response stated from XXXX XXXX stated on XX/XX/XXXX, " Your statement will print on or around the 21st of each month and your due date will be on the 14th of each month. Currently you will not have another payment due until XX/XX/XXXX. '' Since that time I have been seeking clarification to this answer through their website on multiple occasions ( see Attachment 2 ), and during this time I keep getting the same answer, " we were required to escalate your request to our corporate office for handling '' yet NEVER AN ANSWER from the corporate office in over 3 weeks. 

Now I am being fraudulently charged an interest charge of {$10.00} for a new purchase of {$840.00} when Synchrony clearly stated my first payment was n't due until XX/XX/XXXX ( see attachment 3 ).
