Complaint narrative:
my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late. i have had an exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX and all payments were on XXXX. this late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. this was clearly a billing error made by the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC 1681eb. this error has caused severe harm to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family. 

I demand the late payments reported in XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law 15 USC 1666b and its requirements st the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they DID NOT COMPLY with the LAW.

15 USC 1666b ( a ) TIMING OF PAYMENTS : A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for ANY purpose, unless that creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer NOT LATER THAN 21 days BEFORE the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith PURSUANT rule 1002 and it was never provided. 

this is unfair, illegal and fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem making or receiving payments
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am attempting to pay my Venmo credit card which is managed by XXXX. My checking account that was previously linked to the account mysteriously disappeared and I was unable to reconnect via XXXXXXXX XXXX verification and manual verification. I attempted this action several times between XX/XX/2024 and XX/XX/2024. When unable to make a viable solution on my own, I reached out to Venmo via the app for technical support on the credit card XX/XX/2024. Through that medium I was informed to contact Venmo direct via phone at XXXX. 

I attempted a second time on XX/XX/2024 to resolve this issue by reaching out first to XXXX Venmo credit card line ; when they informed me they could not assist, I contacted the number provided above. The agents informed me that there was an error in their system but couldnt tell me what type of error or if theres a way to resolve it. The only thing I could do was use another payment method or try again later. When I elevated this issue to a supervisor, I was advised of the same thing. 

My primary bank account that has been linked to my Venmo has no fraud alerts or issues with payment in the past so to not be given a reason or way to resolve this matter is egregiously shortsighted. Without a resolution, I am unable to make a payment on my credit card which will impact my credit if not resolved. Furthermore, Venmo offers no way to contact tech support to see what is truly the problem with their system and why its performing errors on my account.
