Subissue: Problem with balance transfer

Consumer Complaint: I had a BP gas credit card which was held through XXXX XXXX It is one of the few accounts which I pay on line, and I usually send a set amount of {$100.00} a month prior to receiving the statement in the mail. From XX/XX/2022 to XX/XX/2022, I sent a total of {$550.00}, through my banks web bill pay system, to them. What I did not know was that XXXX sold the BP card to another company, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, at some point earlier in the year. I started receiving late payments ( with late charges ) from this bank in XXXX, which I considered a scam and ignored it for several months. When I finally got in touch with them, gave them bank statement proof of payments, they cancelled the charges and attempted to retrieve the {$550.00} from XXXX to no avail. I phoned and tried to contact XXXX multiple times and eventually sent them a certified letter of demand for the return of the overpayments. I have still not heard from them and I hope that you can help me resolve this issue quickly, or guide me in a way of taking legal action against them. Thank you

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: When I purchased furniture from Ashleys XXXX XXXX in XXXX Mississippi on XX/XX/2022, the store clerk incorrectly entered my information from my paperwork and instead put the details for my mother, XXXX XXXX ( not XXXX XXXX as her account information shows ) who already had an Ashleys account and bought something the same day. I noticed the error and asked the clerk to correct the details. Somehow, the error remained, and it has caused a massive amount of trouble for me and her. The furniture was not delivered for several weeks until XX/XX/XXXX, because the delivery address was to my mothers home in XXXX, Mississippi and not my own in XXXX, Mississippi, and the contact number was her cell phone instead of my own. I called Ashleys to discuss the correct delivery address and they were unable to fix it. I offered to pick it up from the store instead and they were unable to change the delivery method. I suppose the person I spoke to corrected the delivery address because my mother started receiving texts asking when to deliver the furniture to my correct address, and she ( luckily for me ) filled it out so that it would be sent to my home. This issue was a multi-week stressor and I was happy to have it behind me. My mother, my spouse and I thought the sole issue was the delivery address and contact information, but that was not the case. My mother, XXXX XXXX received a credit card from Ashleys XXXX XXXX for which she did not apply. We realized that her information must have been used instead of mine for the purchase, despite my correction at the store. I called the Ashleys store and was told they could not help ; I called XXXX XXXX and was told they did not hold my account ; I spoke with someone at Synchrony who said that it was her name and contact information with my social security number, they could not fix the problem over the phone, and I would have to send a letter to Synchrony explaining the issue. I immediately sent such a letter. I tried to pay the minimum fee online but was unable to because I did not have the account number, because the only documentation I had was from the store on the day of the purchase. I eventually, in XXXX, received a bill with the account number and was able to pay the first balance, with accrued late fees. wrote two letters to Synchrony explaining the issue. The first received a nonresponsive letter and I received no response from the second. I sent them copies of the sales order, delivery ticket, letter from Customer Service Department, and credit card

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023 at approximately XXXX XXXX I received a notice from XXXX XXXX stating that my Lowes card through synchrony bank was closed. I did not close this account. I called synchrony bank and was told they randomly checked my credit on XX/XX/XXXX and decided my credit score wasnt high enough to their standards, and closed my account, which is in good standing, and Ive never made one late payment to them. This is unfair business practice, and they did not have my permission to run my credit on XX/XX/XXXX. Now this closed account is going to affect my overall credit score. This is unacceptable and I need help.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Care Credit which is finance by Synchrony Bank has ruined my credit by reporting a late payment for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I have worked very hard to maintain good credit and this situation has caused me so much stress and sleepless nights. I have been in an on going battle with this company in regards to settling my account since becoming unemployed. I opened my account in XX/XX/XXXX at which time I signed up for their card Security program, which is advertised as a source of protection in the event you become unemployed or disable. The monthly fee for this program was {$230.00}, this fee is a percentage of the daily balance. I paid this fee and my minimum payment every month on time for over a XXXX years. Unfortunately, due to the effects of covid the company I worked for experienced serious financial hardship and laid me off. I contacted Card Security to inform them and to initiate a benefit claim. My minimum payment was paid for 3 months then all payments stopped. I was sent a letter stating that I had not submitted the requested documents needed to further review my claim. I called and spoke with a rep to explain that I did submit the documents by uploading them to their online portal. The rep stated that their portal was down and could not verify if my documents were received. The portal was down for over 3 weeks at which time I was told that I would need to resubmit the docs again. This went on for several months. I have submitted all documents and they keep giving me the runaround. They took my money for a over 2 years and at a time when I really needed assistance, I was denied and given 1000 excuses.. I have spent countless hours on the phone with a rep or on hold trying to resolve this matter to no avail. During this time, I've had to make my monthly payments while being unemployed. I received a letter in XX/XX/XXXX, stating that a payment had been made in the amount of {$700.00}, which did not satisfy my balance. When I called in to inquire why, I was told that my benefit was approved for " reduction in work hours '' and not for unemployment. I requested that my case be escalated to a manger and to this day I still haven't received a response or a call back. I have been charged with ridiculous interest fees. I need the late payment for XXXX removed immediately. My credit score has dropped over XXXX points. All my other creditors show that all my payments are on time. I need this corrected asap.
