Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I was advised to write to you by your customer service department concerning my credit rating with your company. I have enjoyed a credit account with SYNCB/SAMS for many years. During the course of our business association, I have honored and respected my account agreement to the fullest. I appreciate how wonderful your service has always been. Unfortunately, I was in a financial dilemma due to job loss. As a result, some of my payments to you were delayed. Because your account with me is extremely important, I managed to borrow the money to cover the late payments. I made those payments 30/60 days late on a few occasions during the course of my situation, but I made sure to fulfill my obligation to ensure that your company suffered no loss. I am thankful and appreciative for the years of positive credit history that I have obtained through your company but now those late marks on my credit reports have become detrimental. I am trying to apply for a new job, but the negative remarks are hurting my efforts. The credit bureaus have advised me that they will report anything as instructed by you, but they need to have that instruction in writing. I am pleading with you to help me and take into consideration how good of a customer I have been and how long I have had an account with you.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XX/XX/2022, between the hours XXXX - XXXX my XXXX located a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account XXXX # XXXX ) that was advertising an adoption for a puppy. The cost was {$300.00} each for a puppy that was vaccinated with paperwork. She negotiated the price down to {$100.00}. My wife then used her XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in her phone and sent XXXX {$25.00} in earnest to hold the puppy until we were to meet XXXX at a XXXX XXXX out side of XXXX, XXXX. During such time My XXXX tried to close the deal over the phone by paying XXXX the XXXX paper transfer fee '' of {$33.00} so that XXXX could release the puppy to my XXXX. My XXXX tried for 3 hours to send over and over again the {$33.00} without success. She tried sending it in different amounts using PayPal " family and Friends '' and XXXX XXXX along with her XXXX XXXX. The amounts are these : PayPal credit : {$290.00}, XXXX XXXX {$400.00} and XXXX {$170.00}. We have screenshots of all the transactions as they were taking place in real time. This is our evidence. Later once we arrived home, we started to look into XXXX account of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. All were gone! We then tried to contact my voice using the phone numbers from the cash app accounts. Both had been disconnected. We then tried to email the scammers. The emails went unanswered. It was then, when we read about the Pet/puppy Deposit Scam. We got a rude awakening and a fast education. We tried to resolve the matter with the credit union in which we are both members of and under Mastercards rules were denied chargeback of the amount of {$260.00}. PayPal closed their investigation on account of their being an investigation going at the same time with our XXXX as did XXXX. We have not heard from XXXX at the time of this writing. SO far, they have taken the {$400.00} out from the account balance owed in lue of their investigation.. It would seem that everyone involve who perpetuated this scam have gone into the wind. We are left with dead ends as far as contacting them and {$960.00} poorer. Please help us with the crediting back of the loss. The suspected bad actors in this case are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
