Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Consumer Complaint: There is a fiduciary obligation owed to me as I have given out my social security number, which the obligation is to act in MY BEST INTEREST financially. I asked synchrony bank as trustees to help me an I was hung up on. I expressed to them that they owe a fiduciary obligation an that breaching that duty could result in suspension or removal an I was abruptly hung up on. Not right. I NEED to get a loan an they are preventing me from doing that an refusing to help. That's a breach of fiduciary obligation which can take legal recourse.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: RE : Previous Complaint You investigated the previous complaint. Thank You. Due to your investigation, Synchrony Bank resolved most of this issue. They refunded my late fees, refunded my interest fees, and honored the Ten Percent discount that they offered. However, they also reported derogatory information to the Three Credit Bureaus. I have requested that Synchrony Bank remove this negative info. They have not agreed to do so. Clearly they were wrong to report this, as they corrected the erroneous charges. Since the charges were incorrect, the info to credit agency is also incorrect. Please have Synchrony Bank update my info reported to credit bureaus.

Issue: Improper use of your report

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

Consumer Complaint: I have a credit card for a TJ Maxx I opened about two years ago ( XX/XX/2020 ). My last name was misspelled and, for some reason I dont recall, it couldnt be fixed at that time. I just let it be because I still could use the card normally and I didn't think it'd be an issue. Fast forward to this summer, I'm in the middle of the process to get into my current job and I noticed that on my background check report it appears my misspelled last name on the " other names '' section. So when I went to a different location and asked if they could help me to correct my name there. They said yes and I put in the information they asked for- thinking it was to find my account to modify it. At the end they told me the system wouldnt allow it so I should call. I honestly dismissed it because I dont use that card that often and, again, didn't think it would cause a problem because my current legal name has always be the same. However, I recently was checking the activity in my report and I saw I had a new inquiry by SYNCB/TJX that was declined on XX/XX/XXXX. Apparently the way the cashier helped me was submitting an application for a new card without my consent, not fixing my name.

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

Consumer Complaint: I received a notification of a transaction made with my credit card for the amount of {$3100.00}. I immediately contacted Amazon in reference of that unauthorized payment. Amazon used my credit card as back up payment for a transaction I was not related or familiar with. I have been for almost two month dealing with Amazon and Synchronic Bank. Amazon said they cancelled the order and to contact the bank. The bank is charging me for a fraudulent transaction made with my credit card without authorization.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

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

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022 I reported fraud on my account after charges I did not recognize were made. These appeared as XXXX different transactions from " chewy.com '' I have never made purchases from chewy.com. The representative over the phone, told me that there was nothing else I needed to do. The charges were removed from my account, the card closed and a new card issued. On XX/XX/2022 these charges re-appeared on my statement as a " balance transfer '' with no notice from the company. I had no idea what these charges were as all the fraudulent charges were lumped together in the amount of {$380.00}. I had to call the company to find out what this charge was as I have never initiated a balance transfer on my account before. When I called they said these charges were never reported as fraud. The representative said they submitted the fraud claim and it would be under investigation. These charges were removed from my account again as XXXX separate charges on XX/XX/XXXX in the following amounts. {$94.00} {$63.00} {$55.00} {$55.00} {$40.00} {$36.00} {$34.00} {$2.00} On XX/XX/2022 these charges had again, appeared on my statement as a " balance transfer '' lump sum {$380.00}. Again, no notice or explanation. These charges were removed after I called on XX/XX/2022 as the XXXX separate transactions. On XX/XX/2022 the {$63.00} fraud reported charge reappeared on my account. The explanation I got over the phone was that this was charged again due to it being accidentally " subtracted twice. '' I don't see this anywhere on my statements. The rest of the charges re-appear as a bunch of different " balance transfer '' transactions on XX/XX/XXXX. {$2.00} {$4.00} {$4.00} {$5.00} {$5.00} {$5.00} {$29.00} {$31.00} {$35.00} {$50.00} {$50.00} {$94.00} When I called again about this on XX/XX/2022. I was told that the results of the investigation had been completed back on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not receive any physical or electronic mail regarding this. The explanation over the phone did not make sense to me. It seems I am somehow, still liable for these charges I didn't make.
