Complaint narrative:
While on the XXXX website I tried to make a purchase with my XXXX Credit card. The link instead took me to SYNCHRONY PAY LATER online credit request. As I filled out the form, I could see it was not for my existing card and I closed the page. I did not complete the application process and even called them saying I had no interest in a loan with them. I already have a XXXX credit card. 
Reference Number : XXXX Instead of closing the matter, they have listed this as " an account '' on my credit report. This is bogus information and I'd like this error removed from my credit report. 
Thank you

This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Personal line of credit
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: Mobiloans, LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I obtained a line of credit from Mobiloans , LLC. Over time, I paid a total of {$9700.00} toward this account. However, of that amount, only about {$1400.00} was applied to principal, while approximately {$8300.00} was consumed by finance charges and fees. This means for every {$1.00} applied to principal, nearly {$6.00} was taken in fees.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a large payment of {$1000.00}, expecting a meaningful reduction in balance. Instead, only {$550.00} went to principal and {$440.00} was diverted to fees. Similar retracement occurred on other payments, making repayment illusory.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent Mobiloans a certified Demand for Arbitration with supporting exhibits documenting these issues. On a follow-up call, Mobiloans acknowledged they received my package and stated their team was verifying the contents. However, I have not received any written response, confirmation of arbitration, or a clear explanation of how payments are being allocated.

Mobiloans repayment structure is unconscionable. Large payments intended to reduce principal were mostly absorbed by fixed bi-weekly finance charges. This practice perpetuates indebtedness rather than allowing reasonable repayment, which is contrary to fair lending standards.

I request that Mobiloans : - Retroactively reallocate payments so that principal is meaningfully reduced ; - Reverse excessive and unconscionable fees ; and - Refund any surplus amounts collected beyond a commercially reasonable interest rate.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The reported entries are inaccurate and do not reflect my true payment history. I have made several attempts to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, but no substantial action has been taken. Even after submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the errors remain unresolved. This situation has created financial hardship and has significantly impacted my well-being. Addressing these inaccuracies has become a stressful and exhausting process.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that truthfully represents my financial history, including the prompt correction of any outdated or incorrect information. I respectfully request immediate action to correct or remove these late payment entries. Failure to do so would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a swift and appropriate resolution.
