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

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. I have been patiently waiting on their response to the written requests I sent. However, any modes of response or coordination were not taken on their end. They have not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time allowed by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes.

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

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I was making a purchase at Banana Republic Factory in XXXX, Louisiana on XX/XX/21. The Sales Representative suggested using my existing Banana Republic credit card in order to earn rewards points. I opted to use my personal general credit card. The Sales Rep persisted in using my XXXX card, so in order to finish the transaction I used my XXXX card. The system did not receive/invalidated the card. I then countered to again just use my general credit card. The Sales Rep kept insisting, and had me call Synchrony Bank ( operating the XXXX credit cards at that time ) in order to verify my XXXX cards validity. The Bank confirmed my card was valid. After trying to swipe/tap my XXXX card again, it declined. The Sales Rep then came up with the reason that XXXX was switching banks and that affected my cards validity. She insisted that she can assist in locating my XXXX account to charge the purchase. At this time I insisted again to use my personal general card. She insisted it will take only a few minutes. After a few moments, she asked me to provide my personal information into the system she was using to locate my information. I asked to confirm that she is locating my existing card, and that this action will not affect my credit report. She said no. I asked 2 more times as she continued to verify my information that this action will not show up on my credit report. She said no. Finally, she called the bank in order for me to verify my Social Security Number, and I asked the phone representative that they are able to see that I already have an existing card and that this is the same account I am trying to access for this transaction. Phone rep said yes. After I confirmed the final piece of information with the phone rep, I was congratulated for my new account. At this point I realized they ( Banana Republic under Synchrony Bank ) opened a completely different account/card under my information. The Sales Rep was dumbfounded as I repeated the confirmation that a new credit card account was indeed opened on my behalf without my consent. I ordered the phone rep to cancel the transaction, but she said she could not and will need to just close the account. At that point, that was my only choice. The Sales Rep did not take responsibility and blamed the training team/material for the grave mistake. I repeated that is why I asked multiple times if this would reflect on my credit report, as well as using my existing personal credit card. Now I had both a hard inquiry and closed account inaccurately recorded in my credit report. I have attempted to file this incident with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. They conducted investigations that all lead to confirming the incident as a valid transaction and have recorded the opening and closing of a second Banana Republic credit card that I did not authorized and was defrauded by the company to open.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: There seems to be an error on my consumer report furnished by Synchrony bank/ Brandsmart XXXX On my consumer report, there is a late payment reported which is causing damages to me as a consumer and limiting my ability to extend credit. I allege that Synchrony Bank/ Brandsmart is willfully and knowingly furnishing inaccurate information and defaming my character as a form of extortion. According to 15 U.S. Code, A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. According to 12 CFR Appendix B to Part 1022 I never received any of the model notices stating that any negative information would be furnished to my consumer report. Why is this inaccurate information being reported when I have never received notice of the information and Congress has stated there shouldn't be any late payments? Is synchrony bank attempting to cause some form of harassment to me and violate my right as a consumer purposely? I was never given a reasonable way to opt out or limit sharing of my credit worthiness according to their privacy policy. Payment defined under 15 U.S Code 78m Payment is defined as commercial development of oil, natural gas, or minerals therefore what form of payment has synchrony bank has been accepting from me for the past years if under United States Code it is defined as commercial development of oil, natural gas, or minerals? Is there a yield of the investment on the account that's due to me? Has the true nature and fitness of the agreement been provided to me? The inaccurate, false and fraudulent information being furnished on my person 's consumer reports needs to be corrected immediately as it is causing damage and defaming my character. I am demanding a response within an appropriate time of 5 business to answer each concern I have raised in this complaint or I allege that there is a due yield of investment that has been misapplied as a billing error and shall be returned back to me

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I made a payment to pay off my credit card balance on XX/XX/2022. When I logged on to make the payment, several payment types were offered to me. I chose a payment type that was displayed as " express processing ''. The amount of my payment was immediately deducted from my available checking account balance. I logged out and back in to the creditor 's website several times and showed no indication of a pending payment or payment made. I waited XXXX hours and called the creditor on XX/XX/XXXX to question why my payment wasn't at least showing 'pending '. The operator put me on hold several times over the course of XXXX hours and finally 'found ' the payment. The creditor sent me an email on XX/XX/2022 showing a payment posted date of XX/XX/2022. Today, on XX/XX/XXXX, I still do not have access to the available credit, but the creditor is showing FULL, not pending, application of the payment as of XX/XX/2022. I called the creditor to find out what is going on and they are telling me it will not be until XX/XX/2022 that I will have access to use my card. Today and tomorrow are the days I want to use the card, as it is specifically an Amazon Prime Card- and today and tomorrow are the once annual " XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. I asked the creditor over the phone if they will be paying me interest while holding on to my money. They indicated they will not be. I think their practices are deceptive and unfair. I made the so-called 'express payment ' a full week before I needed it, so it should be available.
