Consumer complaint received 2025-05-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against CareCredit for what I believe to be unethical and deceptive practices, including the application of hidden fees, unauthorized account activity, and poor customer service that seems more focused on profiting from consumers than supporting them in times of need. 

I initially opened a CareCredit account on XX/XX/XXXX, for an XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. I was told I would have 12 months of no-interest financing. However, I later discovered that only a 6-month promotion had been appliedwithout my knowledge or consent. This resulted in a surprise interest charge of {$1300.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, raising my balance from {$6500.00} to {$7800.00}. I had to call and fight to get the interest waived temporarily, just so I could afford to pay it off. 

I paid {$6300.00} in full because I could not afford to continue with interest charges that would eventually triple the original cost. That should have been the end of itbut it wasnt. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, despite having a {$0.00} balance, I was charged {$150.00} in interest and an unexplained {$4.00} fee labeled " PYMT Card Security. '' When I called, I was told I had been enrolled in a {$1000.00} insurance plan. I never authorized or agreed to this. CareCredit refunded $ XXXX only as credit, not a cash refunddespite the fact that the charge was made without my consent and I paid full in cash. 

It gets worse. I was shocked to learn that a second credit card account ( a CareCredit Mastercard ) was opened under my name without my knowledge or approval. This is a serious violation of trust, privacy, and possibly credit laws. When I discovered this, I immediately requested both accounts be closed. Still, on XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed yet another chargea {$2.00} fee labeled Total fees for this period on an account that was already closed. 

CareCredit is clearly operating in a way that misleads customers, lures them in with promises of help, and then buries them in hidden fees and unauthorized charges. This company can not be trusted. Customers must constantly monitor their accounts for random fees and unauthorized enrollments. CareCredit seems more interested in pushing people into debt than supporting them in moments of financial need.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting a reinvestigation into multiple items appearing on my credit report, as they are either fraudulent or inaccurately reported. Several accounts listed are not mine. I did not authorize, open, or benefit from them. These items appear to be fraudulent, and I have not received any disclosures, billing statements, or signed agreements as required under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ). Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611, I request a detailed reinvestigation and disclosure of the verification process, including the identity of the furnisher.

Additionally, an active account is being reported with a late payment status, which is factually incorrect. I have made timely payments, and this inaccurate reporting violates FCRA 623 and the DoddFrank Acts prohibition against deceptive practices. This negative reporting misrepresents my creditworthiness and causes substantial harm.

I request a manual, factual-based reinvestigation, not an automated E-OSCAR response. Under FCRA and CFPB guidelines, furnishers and credit bureaus are required to conduct a reasonable investigation and correct or delete inaccurate information. I expect updated reporting and full compliance with the legal timeframes outlined in FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
