Consumer complaint received 2025-10-06 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding repeated billing issues and harassing contact attempts by XXXX XXXX and XXXX ( Synchrony Bank ). 

After a dental procedure at XXXX XXXX, a XXXX account was opened to cover costs. I later discovered billing errors and disputed the charges. I spoke with representatives who confirmed the dispute was filed and would take up to 30 days for review. However, since then, I have continued receiving multiple calls daily from various phone numbers, even after pressing 9 on their automated system to be removed from the call list. 

I have voicemails referencing XXXX XXXX and XXXX regarding the issue with CareCredit and call logs showing over 40 voicemails since XX/XX/XXXX. Despite my explicit request to stop the calls, they continue. When I asked for confirmation of the dispute, I was told they do not provide confirmation numbers only internal notes which leaves me without written proof the dispute was properly filed.

This conduct appears to violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), specifically for : Continuing to contact me after I disputed the debt ; Using repeated and harassing call patterns ; Failing to provide written confirmation of my dispute status.

Supporting Evidence : Voicemail transcript stating Hello, this is XXXX calling back from XXXX XXXX and XXXX regarding the issue with XXXX Phone logs showing daily calls from same number Notes of my conversations with company representatives confirming a dispute was filed

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I used XXXX XXXX  tap-to-pay service for my business account to take payments from customers. There were 7 payments totaling {$410.00}. All payments are still pending and funds unavailable as of XXXX. I have made 5 calls to XXXX  customer service related to the issue and they have confirmed that my account is in good standing and that the issue is on their end. They have assured me that their engineering team is working on a fix for the issue and that I am not the only person having this issue. XXXX  states that transactions should complete in 30 minutes and funds should be available in your account within that time. It has been over two weeks now and still no funds are available and XXXX  has done nothing to remedy the situation nor are they able to provide a timeline on when the funds will be available. This is a serious issue. My business has bills to pay, inventory to buy, etc. I have researched the issue online and found that others have reported the same issue as far back as a year.

The presence of adverse information on my credit file has become a source of major XXXX  and XXXX for me. I am extremely troubled by how this negative entry is affecting my financial opportunities and creditworthiness. This derogatory mark has already led to the rejection of a recent credit application and has caused my current lenders to raise the interest rates on my accounts. I need to stress the substantial economic hardship and personal strain that this negative reporting has inflicted upon me and will continue to inflict unless it is properly addressed and corrected.

Complaint narrative:
My Citi credit card auto payment was rejected by XXXX XXXX  because my XXXX  account was locked because someone tried opening a credit card in my XXXX  account.

Company: FREEDOM FINANCIAL NETWORK
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Company promised to settle and payoff the 3 credit cards involved and after collecting money to do so for 2 years they didn't pay off any of them and they charge fees that used all the money collected to negotiate the debts. when one of them sued me they were requesting twice the amount to settle the account and at that point stopped contributing to the program that only collected their fees and did not paid off a single account enrolled and only kept my money and ruined even worse my credit score that they promised would be improved and the debts paid within the amount of time that i contributed.

Freedom debt relief did not do what they promised to do and after running out of the money saved to settle accounts and they kept all of it as their administrative fees that they promised were only payable AFTER settling accounts.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency.

FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information.

TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period.

Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up regarding the complaint I previously filed about inaccurate items that Equifax continues to report despite my repeated disputes and submissions of documentation. Ive done everything a consumer can reasonably do Ive provided proof, followed instructions, and waited for Equifax to handle the matter properly. Yet the same information that should have been deleted is still showing on my credit report, and my confidence in the process has slowly eroded with every delay.

I know that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax is required to conduct reinvestigations that are fair, thorough, and timely, and that unverifiable or inaccurate data must be deleted. But from my perspective, it feels as though the reinvestigation process was either rushed or automated without meaningful review. The consequences for me have been very real limited credit opportunities, emotional distress, and the feeling that my efforts to correct these wrongs are being dismissed.

Company: Kovo
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Today I received a notification from XXXX XXXX stating that I missed a payment on my account. This was unexpected, as I had no such payment scheduled on my calendar. After reviewing my credit report, I noticed that my score dropped by XXXX and XXXX points respectively. 
Upon further inspection, I found an account listed under the name KOVO Inc showing a balance of {$180.00} with a missed payment of {$10.00}. I have never opened an account with KOVO or used their services.

To investigate further, I downloaded the KOVO app and requested account information. The email associated with the account is XXXX. T

his is not my email address. I have multiple email accounts that I can verify ownership of, but this is not one of them. This account is clearly fraudulent. I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately and that the damage to my credit score be reversed. I am fully prepared to provide any necessary documentation and to dispute this account through the appropriate channels. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over XXXX  days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within XXXX  days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than XXXX  days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
