Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX bit the neighbors. I agreed to cover the deposit on the Vet XXXX The total turned out to be XXXX and I received a statement that that I would receive a credit for the remaining XXXX. I called when I didn't see the credit and I should wait a few days. My husband called back on XXXX and XXXX Vet then stated I was no longer getting a credit despite what the receipt and invoice showing I am clearly owed one. I had paid w/Carecredit so I immediately disputed the transaction. I sent the invoice showing the owed credit and filled out the forms. Apparently when they investigated XXXX disagreed ever saying I was getting a credit and despite having it in writing CareCredit denied my claim on XX/XX/XXXX. I called to inquire the status XX/XX/XXXX and when I asked about appealing the decision CareCredit abruptly hung up.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a certified mail with copies of my identification asking Synchrony Bank to rectify an inaccuracy showing on my consumer report. When I was reviewing my consumer file, I noticed account number ending in XXXX is showing a balance on a charged off account. According to the IRS, any cancelled debt or charged off debt is income. I requested Synchrony Bank provide me with XXXX as this account is showing up with a balance on my consumer report. I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Synchrony, stating I am a credit repair organization and they are not going to investigate into the matter. All of this are stall tactics and it is hurting my livelihood as I am trying to resolve negative items that is showing up on my consumer file. I've been doing intense research, and learned on consumer rights. According to 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) A ) - a person shall not furnish any information relating to the consumer that believe to be incorrect. Attached, you will find the original letter I sent along with the certified postage and the stall tactic letter sent as a response. In addition, the incorrect item reporting on my consumer file. I've also included my forms of identification.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: I received fraudulent charges on my PayPal credit account on XX/XX/2022 in the amount of {$4600.00}. I contacted PayPal and they said they would take care of charges that they could see that it was fraudulent activity. They said that they would set up a new account for me and I contacted my bank to change my debit card so that the charges did not go through my bank account. PayPal reversed the charges XX/XX/2022, but when the new account was set up, the charges showed up as transfer balances. I have contacted PayPal almost every week since XXXX to clear this up. They keep telling me that it will take XXXX days to clear up. It has never been cleared up. I have XXXX charges that are mine that I still owe : XXXX XXXX {$210.00} purchased on XX/XX/2022, XXXX XXXX {$16.00} purchased on XX/XX/2022 and XXXX XXXX {$120.00} purchased on XX/XX/2022. On my statements it shows a balance due on this account of {$3400.00}. It is accruing interest and late fees. I have not done any activity on this account since this happened. I had a couple of legitimate purchases that were made through PayPal and paid directly from my bank account. The problem seems to be only on the PayPal credit line. I am hesitant to Pay my balnce because I still have all these fraudulent charges on my account.
