Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony bank care credit card, was closed in XXXX, they claimed it was because I was not making payments on the account, however my bank records show otherwise and the customer service rep I spoke to acknowledged my payments were in fact going through, but there was no way to reinstate my card From XXXX of XXXX they have continued to charge my bank account the minimum payment I have always paid, but my balance has not changed once. I enrolled in a credit counseling service with green path a few months ago and enrolled this credit card for help getting this account paid off, and Synchrony bank refuses to accept my claim of financial hardship, and rejected my offer of lower minimum payments. However, upon further investigation, and realizing theyve been charging me since XXXX, this account shouldve been paid off over a year ago and I have a feeling its because theyre over charging interest, and the payments they were taking out of a savings account of mine, werent going toward the balance at all. 

They closed my account. Wrongfully have continued to charge me and have denied further hardship assistance, though they have caused me a hardship when they closed this account in the first place. This is incredibly predatory and has been going on since XXXX. Something needs to be done about this. This account should be paid off with the amount of payments Ive sent in. They should be taking some responsibility for having wrongfully close to the account but instead the balance has remained the same no matter how many payments Ive made. I need help.

I noticed a withdrawal on my checking account made on XX/XX/XXXX using my debit card for {$2000.00}.

The manager immediately closed the debit card and took notes on this {$2000.00} withdrawal and 2 other charges to our account.

We were told by XXXX that someone from their fraud department would call us within XXXX to XXXX hours. No such call came. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Wells Fargo that the claim had been reviewed and it was determined that the withdrawal was valid either by me or someone whom I had given my permission. 

Back to the branch and XXXX, who stated that I had been contacted on XX/XX/XXXX by the investigator on this claim # XXXX. 

Again on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX stated I would be contacted by an XXXX within 24 to 48 hours, On XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX I again went to speak to XXXX XXXX and was reassured I would be contacted via e-mail regarding this claim.

I appreciate your attention to my complaint and wait to hear from you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I reviewed my credit report and noticed that the above account SYNCB/JC PENNEY was on my credit report. I called SYNCB/JC PENNEY this morning and talked to XXXX in the Fraud Department XXXX I explained to her that I did not open any account with them, and I don't know who they are. XXXX of the things she said that I would have to reach out to the credit bureaus and then get to/them. I called XXXX and had to go through their answer questions pertaining to my credit report in order to speak to someone and that didn't work out. To look at your credit report and see that someone open a credit card account in the amount of {$10000.00} in your name, and SYNCB/JC PENNEY reports it and XXXX signs off on it by reporting as well, who can you trust? 

It's very frustrating when you explain to company/companies pertaining to a matter like this that you did not open this account with them, and they give the third degree and run around. Some of these companies and the credit bureaus are quick to report late and missed payments, but when you try to clear your name, it takes weeks, months and possibly years to clear name and to recover from it as well. For resolution, I want this account deleted from my XXXX credit report. And I'm seeking {$1000.00} per violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) from both SYNCB/ JC PENNEY DC for reporting fraudulent and false information onto my XXXX credit report. And XXXX for not conducting a proper and thoro investigation of a consumer 's personal information before reporting it onto their credit report.
