Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: The information the are reporting is old and not correct. They investigated and was not able to provide accurate information. I want this deleted as its affecting my credit report and score. This was a jet ski account that they sent me the title too and I sold and they are showing I still owe money. I want this account deleted as if I owed them money I would have never got the title to the vehicle. Every time they give me a different amount that I owe and was deleted off one credit bureau not the other ones. Please delete the account from my report

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: My issue is with Synchrony Bank and their Amazon card. They offer a deferred balance option on large purchases so I decided to try it on top of my regular use of the card for regular purchases which I pay off at the end of each month. I looked into the terms prior to agreeing to deferred interest and in their terms it says I am able to pay off my regular balance in addition to the deferred interest balance each month. After making a large purchase with deferred interest I looked at the following months statement, as there was nowhere in the banks application to choose which balance to pay. Clearly in their monthly statement it says that I have to call customer service to choose which balance to apply the payment to- something that is not in their terms for the deferred interest promotion. So I called and customer service took a payment for the interest bearing balance as I requested, I then received a few days later, a notice saying that the payment could not be applied as requested ( after they took the money from my account and in a recorded call confirmed I was paying of the interest bearing balance ) and that it would all be applied to the interest differed balance first. I called customer service again and they assured me that letter meant nothing and that I would have no interest on my next billing cycle. When the next billing cycle happened, I saw an interest charge and called again. Again I was assured this was removed and it wouldnt happen again going forward, now I receive the same letter in my emails saying the payment is not going where I asked and they confirmed it was going. I feel like this is a very clear act on the banks part to defraud its customers and trick them into paying interest without being able to pay the balance off. It is in violation of everything they have said in recorded called, in their terms of service and clearly written in their billing statements.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: Inquiry Fraud from Synchrony- TJX to XXXX XXXX. XXXX Reference # XXXX Reference processed code # XXXXXX/XX/ & XX/XX/XXXX I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( DOB XX/XX/XXXX ) sent a letter and called Synchrony- TJX bank on XX/XX/1XXXX andXX/XX/ in regards to a fraudulent billing inquiry. I informed the company of the fraud inquiry reported on my credit history on this date to all three credit bureaus. However, XXXX is requesting a copy of this report so they can remove this fraud inquiry from my account. I then followed up with Synchrony and asked them to send me proof that they did send a report to transunion on XX/XX/XXXX and they asked me to send a letter to the fraud department. I never received any evidence so I called both XXXX and Synchrony bank today XX/XX/XXXX. Both have provided no results and have done nothing to remove this inquiry.
