Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I unfortunately last XXXX contracted XXXX. The medicine provided to help my recovery time ended up working negatively with the XXXX, i subsequently got sicker and fell behind on both my mortgage and my Heloc. I was somewhat relieved to find out that there was a program in place for homeowners with these circumstances called MI HAF. 

I went through the application process and was contacted by a case worker who patiently walked me through what was needed as far as documents. One of the documents necessary to pay the Heloc and make it current was a letter from the servicer 5th 3rd bank ( Fifth Third ). I went into the branch on XX/XX/ and requested this document. I also didn't mind closing the Heloc withdrawal function because I was no longer with the person who I opened it with. Now i did specify I wanted it closed to ALL parties, and that I would work on just paying it down or off, but that i did qualify for this program that at least would bring the Heloc current.

That's when I was informed that you can not cancel the withdrawal function on the Heloc. The only way to stop the withdrawal ability was to pay it off or to wait 10 years. 
I reminded all 9 representatives I spoke with over the course of 4 days that again MY property, and I am the only one on my deed, my property is tied to this Heloc and I wanted to close the ability to withdrawal on this product again for all parties myself included and again to no avail.

And it wasn't until the 4th day I found a " Hardship Assistance '' online for 5/3rd, on my own not one of the 9 reps i spoke with pointed me in this direction mind you. And their idea of hardship assistance is simply an email. No instructions, no one to contact, simply an email.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Care Credit had me fooled into applying for promotional 24 months no interest charges if balance paid within time frame. This was a deferred interest credit promotional offer and I was not aware. Upon the promotion end date, I was charged {$860.00} in interest based on a balance of {$1100.00} owed. My statements weren't mailed out because I opted for digital statements which aren't mailed in detail in email and you must log into their app to view. I wasn't aware of when the promotional deadline would end in XXXX. Due to this I was charged this large deferred interest amount and found out only once the charge occurred by putting this credit card over balance of amount borrowed which XXXX alerted me of credit score changes once reported to the credit bureau. 

Upon finding out this way this week, I immediately called Care Credit to discuss. They were not helpful, didn't detail what accumulated to the {$860.00} deferred interest charge, and told me nothing could be done to reverse it. How is this possible? This interest charge is absurd for what I owed. I want to know what can be done to appeal or fight the charge. Why would the amount be this high? I am lost for words for what they did and how it was miscommunicated. I don't believe this was fair and should be illegal. I hope to warn others about Care Credit, to be careful signing up with their credit, and be aware of what they did to me.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am giving authorization to this company to respond to this cfpb complaint. I have requested that this company cease the reporting of the account stated in the attached dispute letter due to federal violations. Pursuant to the IRS Publication XXXX  any cancellation of debt is considered a certificate of indebtedness and its now income. Income can not be reported per the IRS publication. However, this company did NOT honor my request for removal. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act and both this company and the consumer reporting agencies are participating in this violation. Additionally, as a financial institution, they did not disclose to me my right to opt out of the disclosure of my nonpublic information or directions on how to exercise my right to opt out as dictated by law. I sent them a letter notifying them of my request to be opted out of my nonpublic information being furnished to consumer reporting agencies pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 6802 and 16 CFR 313.7 in which they have denied my right. Instead, they stated that they do not offer their customers the option to opt out which is a direct violation of federal law ( s ) as they are REQUIRED to give opt out disclosures. As a federally protected consumer I am now revoking any and all authorization that I, the consumer, may have given them written, non written, verbal, and nonverbal per 5 U.S. Code 552a and I am demanding that my nonpublic information cease to be furnished. If this matter does not get settled, I will pursue litigation for damages.

15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( a ) Duty of furnishers of information to provide accurate information ( 1 ) Prohibition ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate.
