Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
For the last several months, the credit reporting agency Experian has been allowing an incorrect vehicle trade line with ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to be reported illegally in my file. I have made several phone calls and sent out several letters in regards to this matter. I have also submitted PROOF to support my claim illustrating that the account does not in fact belong to me but to someone else. Experian has the DOCUMENTATION but still has not updated my credit showing that the account has been removed. Furthermore, the address on the tradeline is an address that I have never lived at or recognize. This is against FCRA rules, regulations and must be rectified immediately. I have been given a complete run around and it is interfering with my mortgage approval and my attorney has advised me to move to file legal action if this situation is not corrected by Experian.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/21 made online purchase {$41.00}. When products not received disputed charge. Shortly afterwards product received and cancelled the dispute. Citi card adjusted accordingly, however my account was charged twice for {$41.00} as per XXXX statement for {$83.00}. Through numerous telephone calls and written communication I am unable to get anyone to understand this problem. The telephone conversation are dropped or very difficult to understand as the dispute personal are in a remote location based on a island in the XXXX. Inaddition to this problem the credit card company makes payments from my auto pay which are not constant with my original plan. For example my account autopay XX/XX/21 was {$35.00} but my original plan was to pay entire balance. In short I am overcharged {$41.00} by the processing of my statement by Citi Bank and not by the merchant. This is the problem I am having partly due to a foreign language barrier.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Discount Tire displays promotional financing on their direct web page through Synchrony Bank. The ad promotes 6,9,12 months interest free. The interest free feature is what compelled me to apply for the account. Being a XXXX XXXX I naturally track my credit which is in excellent condition with top tier XXXX  scores.When the card came in the mail with the legal terms & conditions I was confused that the offer provided to me was just 6 months with an APR of 29.99 %. It took some time to find the contact number for them which I never located on the paperwork they mailed with the card. After locating it on the home page I spoke to a rep. I explained that I had {$2500.00} in merchandise currently on order with my local Discount Tire store. I let them know I had applied for & wanted the 12, not the 6 month no interest offer shown. I also expressed my concern for the high APR & asked if that could be re-negotiated based on my credit profile. Without any clear answers, direction or resolution provided from the call attempt ; I had them cancel the account under concerns that it has questionable predatory pricing with no transparency to it's terms & conditions. The best they could offer was once I start spending on the card they can provide the no intrest term lenght & no comments on the APR it is based off of.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Lightstream/Suntrust/Truist approved my consumer credit application. I signed the agreement and entered my bank account info, the next day they contacted me telling me I was denied. I contacted them and they stated that I could not speak to someone of authority. I asked them if they were knowledgeable of the truth in lending act and they started going all over the place. I spoke with 3 reps and still couldn't get someone of authority on the phone. I asked them to show me in the truth in lending act that a consumer can be denied based on the reasoning they was giving me for the denial. They we're lost and had no understanding of the truth in lending act. This whole situation has caused me distress. I have never experienced anything like this from any other lenders I have dealt with. I should have not been approved and given my bank account info and a contract to sign if I was not approved, that's a breach in contract. Therefore someone in the company did not do their due diligence.
