Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Consumer Complaint: I received a home repair loan from the USDA in XX/XX/XXXX. The contractors work was delayed. The date was changed on the contractors work but was not changed by the XXXX on my Promissory Note. When the work was completed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX the loan was put into action and because the Promissory Note date was not changed as was required by Paragraph XXXX XXXX XXXX ) of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I was immediately past due XXXX months before I even received billing. As a result, the USDA reported me as not paying on my loan. I have since disputed the errors through XXXX and the late payments error has been removed. This was a horrible situation. In the meantime, I received a letter from Synchrony Bank cancelling my XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card based on the derogatory information reported to XXXX. The XXXX Account ending in XXXX is a small account. I recently paid off the account. I have never been late with a payment the entire time I had the account. Always paid on time. Never went over my credit limit, etc. The reporting of derogatory information by the XXXX was no fault of mine. The XXXX made the error and they fixed it. Now Synchrony Bank is hurting my credit. My credit score has also been restored.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: Purchased {$1200.00} in goods from XXXX stores of XXXX FL and XXXX provided tracking with delivery info but XXXX never delivered the items. Instead said left with neighbor. Problem is two fold 1. I never authorized them to leave with neighbor. I checked with ALL neighbors and no one got the packages. 2. XXXX can not say with whom ( a person 's name ) or WHERE ( which address ) packages were left!! Therefore delivery has to be declared LOST and my {$1200.00} dollars refunded to me. There is Insurance on this delivery and merchant REFUSES to help!! Did not even require a signature and the amount is HUGE!!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: One Debt is XXXX for over {$800.00} said to originate in XXXX I think- I have not had XXXX as a phone service sense early XXXX Do not know what this is and they will only tell me it is for XXXX phone service, I am not to pay for something that is not mine. I have asked all credit agencies to remove, have filed dispute after dispute and they will not remove from my credit! Second is a debt with Synchrony Bank for around {$200.00} - {$250.00}. I had to ask credit agency to spell the bank name as I have never had any dealings with said bank. I do not know when this happened - found out about and again did dispute after dispute and the credit agency will not remove. I pay my debts! I should not have to pay a debt that is not mine!!! I should not have to have my credit score low because these agencies will not remove a debt that is not mine!!! Today the rep with XXXX said that they will not remove because I did not file police report or file report to you FTC.gov. I did not even know how to reach out to you before today. Please help me. I have been trying to rebuild credit from a Bankruptcy over 25 years ago and these two things are keeping my score from going up!!! I should not have to pay for this in any way shape or form! Thank you in advance for any help you can give to me. XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I have a credit card with Venmo, I made a payment to the balance on my card on XX/XX/ for the amount of {$510.00}. To no fault of my own, I was double-charged on this payment and the money was taken out of my account causing me to go negative in my bank account. I had called them to ask them to cancel the payment, the first time I called I spoke to an individual named XXXX with Venmo and he hung up with me, the second call I was told there was nothing they could do, and the third and last time I called the individual told me they will send me a check once the payment clears. I can not wait that long for them to pay me back. This was their mistake and they need to take responsibility for their actions, it is not right that I am negative in my bank account and will be charged an overdraft fee. They need to set up their system to better accommodate their customers in situations like this.
