Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX I went to my local walgreens pharmacy store to pick up my prescription. As usual, I click confirm pickup and also bought medical equipment with the pharmacist. The pharmacist told me to enter my social security number which was new to me, so I did as I thought it was just a new process of picking up my medication to match my records on file. When I got back home and checked my email, I saw an email regarding a new credit card has successfully been accepted in my name. I remember I didn't sign a document for a credit application nor talk to a professional financial expert at walgreens for this store credit card. Therefore, I am submitting a complaint with CFPB as I didn't authorize for a credit card at walgreens.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I went shopping at XXXX back in XXXX of XXXX. The cashier tried to push a TJX rewards card on me, which I was not interested in. I made a {$40.00} purchase at the register and the cashier had signed me up for the card ( without my consent ). I did not realize this {$40.00} charge was applied to an account that I never agree to open, nor did I ever receive a hard copy of the card or a letter from the credit card company. I only found out I owed late payments when I did a credit report in XXXX of XXXX. At that point I called the credit card company, they agreed to waive the late fees and they took payment in the amount of {$55.00} ( which included interest from the principal purchase ). In XXXX of XXXX, my credit report was showing more late fees owed. I called TJX card services on XX/XX/XXXX and they said they had record of my call in XXXX and record of the fees being waived. HOWEVER, they are claiming they did not receive my payment of {$55.00}, as the call was conveniently " disconnected '' according to their records. This company is fraudulently charging me late fees and is not allowing me to pay my original bill ( which was never consented to nor was made clear that an account was opened with a bill ). They are making it very difficult to resolve this issue, I have spent dozens of hours talking to people at the company, repeating the circumstances, and no one seems to have the authority to waive the {$150.00} of fraudulent late charges. I highly recommend anyone who shops at TJX stores to reject any credit card pushed on them at the register, and also make sure they didn't sign you up without your consent. I am taking them to small claims court, I have wasted lots of time on this matter but I refuse to pay 5x the original principal because this company are frauds.

Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX are in the business of buying debt from companies and use their wrongful practices to hurt consumers. They have an account from Synchronic bank, another crooked company that I awe them {$450.00} XXXX XXXX has charged me {$2700.00} on this account for what? that is the wrong amount, their fees, attorneys fees, administrative fees. This is an outrageous amount of money that was not owe. As a consumer, I believe on working with them and satisfy the debt, but not with this type of abuse. I need to get the original amount owe to synchronic, without all those staggering fees, I ask kindly to the CFPB to look in to this matter, this is an abuse by these companies.
