Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: I have received a5 letters and numerous phone calls from XXXX and associates. I told them to stop calling. I searched online and found out this is a scam company in California. The man repeated my social security number to me and was threatening. I do not have any account with this XXXX. I do not owe them any outstanding money. This is not on my credit report. I feel this is a scam and it needs to be corrected. I do not owe any money to these people .I have no idea what they are talking about. The phone number on their website is different from the phone number on their letter.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Other problem

Consumer Complaint: Applied for the XXXX secured credit card on a few different occasions between mid XXXX and early XXXX. After that period, I got a letter saying my application was denied but afterwards I got an email saying it was denied because it was previously approved. I was informed via the XXXX site that I needed to make a deposit in the desired amount between {$100.00} & {$750.00}. I was not told I had to make the deposit for the exact amount I entered on my application. On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to make a deposit in the amount of {$250.00} and was rejected a few times. I called the customer service number and was told to attempt a {$100.00} deposit and when I did, I didnt receive any error messages. To this day, the XXXX website reflects that I still have a {$100.00} deposit pending. On the XXXX XXXX XXXX, I realized the site still reflected I was waiting for my deposit to clear. I learned on their help screen that if there was an issue with my payment, I would be contacted via email with further instructions. I havent recieved any emails concerning the security deposit to open the card. I contacted XXXX and they informed me there was a flag on my account and cleared the flag on my account. I contacted synchrony two days later and they told me to wait 24 hours and the next day I called synchrony and they told me to wait 48 hours. I called again and they told me to mail a payment but didn't specify which department to send it to. I dont remember the exact date but I called to try to get more answers with no successso I asked if they could just close the account since I wasnt getting anywhere. The customer service representative informed me it would be reflected as a closed account on my credit report. I just called again today, XXXX XXXX and they told me to clear my cache and try again. When it didnt work they told me to just check every day and if it doesnt allow me to pay, then I need to reapply. I expressed that my credit score was already affected, and they want me to wait and apply again. It seems they are just stalling until I miss the deadline of XXXX XXXX.

I have since contacted this company on XX/XX/2021 and 4 more times after that. The company stated that this is indeed fraud and reported the claim to XXXX to be removed from my credit report.
