Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I have had a XXXX XXXX for over a year. This account is used with a recurring charge with a single merchant. The account had automatic payments setup. XXXX is now claiming to not have any record of Autopay. 

I have noticed on my statement that there have been numerous late fees charged on this account. 

As I setup autopay with a representative of the company, I am wishing to have ALL late fees backdated to the start of the account be refunded. 

Further, the bank has not given any notices nor email notifications on the payment status or lack of an autopay payment as is done with all other XXXX accounts.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I submitted an application with Bank of America on Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX and received an email within a minute that the application was approved. I was able to download the Bank of America app from the XXXX app store, access my account and submit a deposit. I was able to submit a mobile deposit approximately 75 minutes after the notice that the account was opened and received an email that the deposit would be received and the funds would be on hold until XXXX XXXX. The next day, XX/XX/XXXX, I was unable to login to the Bank of America app and called the number indicated. The call center employee told me that the account was closed and I would need to go to a Bank of America branch to open a new account and that my deposit would be sent back to me. I went to the XXXX XXXX branch on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that I could not present my ID due to BofA back office being closed on Saturday. A copy of my ID was taken and appointment scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. Today, I received a call from the branch and was notified that I would need to come into the branch with my Social Security card prior to Saturday due to the back office being closed. At this point I will not be able to open the account as my card is at a different location and I have a job M-F. The branch told me to call a different department at BofA to remove the hold on my account so my funds could be sent to me. I called that department ( XXXX ) and was told that the account would not close until XX/XX/XXXX and that my funds would not be sent to me until that time. So BofA accepted my deposit on XX/XX/XXXX with an expected/disclosed funds availability of XX/XX/XXXX and I will not get my funds back until XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX at the earliest. This has been an exceptionally painful experience and I would never recommend anyone bank with BofA

Complaint narrative:
This does not perfectly fit your choices. What happened is the credit card bank took money from my account at another bank without authorization. When I brought to their attention, they said I would get the money back in 2 or 3 days. 7 days later I called and they said that they take more time even when it is their mistake -- which they have not challenged. 

It is now nine days since they took {$4500.00} without authorization and have refused to refund it in a timely manner ( or pay any interest on the funds ).

Complaint narrative:
I've been disputed this same fraud auto loan collection account since it was brought to my attention in XX/XX/2020. The bureaus conducted their investigation and it was removed from my report after the investigation was completed. The account started reporting again 2 weeks after it was removed. Per my understanding, if an account is removed for fraud, it is blocked from reappearing on the report again and yet here it is. Furthermore, I've been redisputing it and the bureaus are taking no action to restart their investigation let alone look at the previous investigation notes. I shall make no further pleas. Next step will be a lawsuit.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received an alert from Experian to check my credit score as it had changed. I logged on to their website which had notification that my score reduced by 25 points ( literally overnight ). I had excellent credit score and am trying to get a mortgage. My credit was pulled and I expected my score to decrease but not by more than about 5 points as advised by XXXX XXXX XXXX. This information is also on Experian 's website.

Oddly enough, as I was checking on Experian 's website trying to figure out what might have went wrong I was prompted to improve my score with " Experian Boost '' a product they have been pushing. 

I called the number they provided on the website and no one in the office could tell me what might have cause the large drop in my score. I was told I had to get a certified credit counselor. 

I feel that they dont care, how is it that no one in a credit reporting agency that is selling all these products to people has no one in the office to answer my questions. 

Something is very wrong here. They are forcing people to do this " Boost your Score '' and this is very wrong. 
I need your agency to look into this matter. This is gong to affect what I will get for a mortgage.

Company: Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sirs : On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an affidavit from XXXX Law Firm, representing XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, which holds the reverse mortgage on my home, telling me that this reverse mortgage, taken out by my father early in XXXX, was not covered by federal money, thereby leaving me unprotected from foreclosure or eviction action, protection guaranteed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ( " CARES ACT '' ) of XXXX. 
I immediately contacted Reverse Mortgage Solutions, which keeps records of all reverse mortgages provided in America, asking for proof that my late father 's reverse mortgage was indeed covered by federal money. The company representative to whom I spoke asked me to send a formal request for this information, which I did in an e-mail of XX/XX/XXXX. I also sent a fax of a printout of this same e-mail on XX/XX/XXXX, and a registered envelope containing another printout of this letter to Reverse Mortgage Solutions, and have received receipts from Reverse Mortgage Solutions, proving that they have received each and every one of these requests, all legally completed and done in accordance with company standards, and was told that I would receive the desired -- and most necessary and vital -- evidence by early XXXX, XXXX, but I have yet to receive this most vital information. Whenever I call the company at XXXX, I am always told that the information will be sent to me, but I am still awaiting its delivery. I demand the information be e-mailed to me, as I have all of the evidence necessary to prove that my requests for it were indeed received by Reverse Mortgage Solutions , Inc., and requested entirely in accord with their demands for obtaining it.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report is showing me late 4 times ( XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ). I have not been late ever. I pay my full mortgage each month by sending in bi-monthly payments. XXXX XXXX has acknowledged this and keeps saying that they will correct it with the credit bureaus. However, it remains incorrect with the credit bureaus. I have filed several disputes with the credit bureaus. Each time the disputes are closed it says the information is updated but it remains the same. 
I have been trying to refinance each month since XXXX. Each time the process comes to a halt because XXXX XXXX still shows me late on 4 payments. Even though the reps can see that I have not been late they tell me that there is nothing that they can do and that I should try again next month. This is completely unacceptable. I could have possibly missed some of the best interest rates for refinancing due to bad customer service from XXXX XXXX. Although I have been trying to refinance with them this makes me want to refinance with a different company once this is resolved.
