In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed 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 my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set 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 ) Time to make 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 the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic 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. 


TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( 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 XXXX and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I just logged this complaint with Synchrony today ( XX/XX/year> ). 

I am a long time Synchrony customer and have lodged this particular complaint at least XXXX times over the last 10 years. I've lost count, but it is an experience I have multiple times each year. 

When I pay my CareCredit account, the payment oftentimes does not get applied to the promotional balance that is the soonest to expire. Every time I make a payment, I have to check my online account to see if it is allocated correctly. If it is not allocated correctly, I have to call customer service and ask that the money be allocated to the balance that is expiring soonest. Otherwise, my promotional balance is not paid off as expected and I am charged retroactive interest on the entirety of the promotional purchase, which is insanely high at XXXX %. 

Synchrony could fix this if they wanted to. It is a simple programming change. I work at a competitor and have worked in both software engineering and complaints. I also know Synchrony has to report complaints to the federal government. From reading Synchrony 's XXXX reviews, it seems lots of people have fallen victim to this sneaky tactic of Synchrony 's. They think they're paying off their promotional balance, but the payments are being applied elsewhere, and then the balance expires and they are retroactively charged interest on the entire thing, and now they owe Synchrony hundreds more dollars on a balance they thought they had paid off. A lot of people don't have the resources or wherewithal to fight this and they just pay the money. I feel sad for all the customers Synchrony has taken advantage of in this way.
