Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was given an XXXX Card through Synchrony Bank in order to fix my truck 's transmission in XXXX of XXXX. Unbeknownst to me the autopay was set up incorrectly and was withdrawing from another member of my Credit Union 's account. When the member found out, all of the previous payments were charged to my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I received an email from Synchrony XX/XX/XXXX ( attached ) stating that I had missed a payment so I contacted Synchrony and they said it simply had not gone through, then I saw all of the charges that came through at once on the XXXX and called my Credit Union and finally got an explanation from them on what happened. 

I subsequently called Synchrony to explain what happened and also to explain that I was trying to pay off my my full remaining balance before the one year promotional period was over to avoid the 30 % interest. Through all of the confusion I had missed that deadline which was the XXXX of XXXX. I was told to file a dispute and I did, I'm not sure what was entered into the dispute on my behalf or what the resolution was ( attached ). I was entered back into autopay. 

I just found out that they entered my autopay information incorrectly a second time and again I wasn't notified that my payments were not going through, and I was being charged late fees ( attached ). 

I spoke with them to figure out what was going on and I can't get an answer other than my autopay information was entered incorrectly again. I told them I could not verify that information through their website, all I can see is that when I manually paid to avoid more fees it went through with the account information they had.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
When making a CC payment online using the BoA website on XXXX XX/XX/year>, The account overview indicates a Statement Balance of {$1000.00}. See attached screenshot 01. 

This statement balance was paid in full on XXXX XX/XX/year> and is therefore not owed to BoA as of that date. See attached screenshot 02. 

When I clicked on the " Make payment '' button ( from attached screenshot 01 ), this presents the " Make payment '' dialog box. When I clicked on the " Amount '' field, the resulting drop-down is populated with Statement Balance : {$1000.00} as a payment option, this amount was paid in full on XXXX XX/XX/year>. This amount is NOT owed to BoA and is {$440.00} more than the {$580.00} Current Balance, also included as a payment option. See attached screenshot 03. 

Inclusion of an amount that has already been paid, as a payment option, is in my opinion, a deceptive practice intended to mislead customers into paying amounts that are not owed.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
