Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: The attorney continues to lie in court in his attempts to obtain a favorable judgement for the debt. Moreover, I have no legal proof that this office is permitted by law outside of this summons to collect on the said debt. Such is my legal right under Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) as well as the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act governed by the Federal Trade Commission. The plaintiff admits this much in the brief stating there has been no assignment of the debt. Therefore, my communications at this time should only be with the furnisher in accordance to FCRA. The attorney of record, XXXX XXXX makes the false statement repeatedly " that I have never objected the debt during the life of the account. Which is a deliberate lie. He is aware of this because not only have I made the same statement repeatedly while he was present in hearings, I have also stated this concern to their office in writing. Yet, XXXX XXXX continues to outright lie, under oath in briefings saying that I have never objected the account in any way during the life of the account. Which is simply untrue. Now, if I, under oath lied, I would be guilty of perjury and charged with contempt of court. Is XXXX XXXX, a lawyer who has taken not subject to the same oath I was sworn under in these court proceedings? Is he above reproach and the rules that govern the court because he is acting in his vocation to collect a debt? What about the oath he has taken with the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX to : maintain the respect due to courts of justice and judicial officers ; employ for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided to me such means only as are consistent with truth and honor, and will never seek to mislead the judge or jury by any artifice or false statement of fact or law ; in all other respects conduct myself personally and professionally in conformity with the high standards of conduct imposed upon members of the bar as conditions for the privilege to practice law in this State. He also continues to collect a debt in which he or his office doesn't have assignment over which violates FDCPA.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit

Consumer Complaint: Synchrony Bank continues to try to have a debt collection company sue me for a debt when they have violated FCRA laws by reporting inaccurate information to credit reporting agencies. I have advised the company that there representatives have misrepresented statements and lied to me to deceive me into entering into a payment arraignment via phone. The representative told me as long as I paid a specific amount each month my account would remain in good standing. When I learned that this was not the case was when the account began to report delinquent. The account should never have been reported delinquent in accordance to what the representative promised on a recorded line to me. I have requested the call records as well as requested a supervisor review the calls and provide me with their findings and confirmation of the conversation that has taken place. They have never honored that. They have denied me my rights to discovery and have also continued to damage my credit while they refuse to investigate the information to make the proper updates to my credit report. This has been far more damaging than what they are trying to allege I owe.

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: Synchrony Bank was contacted on XX/XX/XXXX about Charges made on my account that were fraudulent. Took 2 hours to get a hold of a person to try to fix.They allowed someone other than me to call in and change address and email and then they issued them a card. Synchrony bank has not removed the fraudulent charges or did they change my Email and address back to the correct information. Trying to contract Synchrony Bank XX/XX/XXXX to speak to a person is impossible as it only give you automated options and mailing address is only for Payments. Was going to make a payment on actual charges but account is not correct and it would send email conformations to the fake email account.

Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: This company repeatedly " holds '' payments in limbo without giving consumer credit for the payments they've made, even after he company acknolwedges the receipt of the payment AND it has cleared the bank, for WEEKS. I have a {$5000.00} credit limit. I paid off my balance in early XXXX. Care Credit shows the payment was received by them on XX/XX/2022. The payment cleared my bank on XX/XX/2022. However, Care Credit has not given me credit for the {$1000.00} payment that cleared my bank XX/XX/2022. When I call they state that because it's a large amount, or because I made multiple payments during the billing cycle, they have to wait for it to clear my bank- it has cleared! They just refuse to give credit for it. This happens every month where it takes weeks for them to give me credit for my payments. I tried resolving directly with the company but the customer service reps seem unable to provide any info other than reading from a list of reasons why payments are not credited - even though there is a XXXX balance and they confirm receipt of the payment. When asking to speak to a supervisor or manager, I am transferred to a location where I am on hold for 40+ minutes without anyone ever picking up the line. Care Credit accepts payments from their customers, acknolwedges those payments, but repeatedly " holds '' the funds so that consumers are not able to take advantage of a XXXX balance and their full credit limit. After repeated attempts to get a supervisor on the line, I was finally able to speak with " XXXX. '' She reports that the company holds every large payment for 10 days to ensure it clears the bank. The funds have cleared. They cleared over a week ago. I believe this company is unlawfully denying consumer the benefit of their payments so that it can benefit from the funds sitting in their account while denying consumers access to the credit they've been given. In essense, holding funds in an account to accrue interest while denying customers access to their credit. As you can see from following attachments, as of this afternoon, XX/XX/2022, Care Credit still has not credited the payment I made on XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX, that Care Credit received on XX/XX/2022, and that cleared my bank on XX/XX/2022. 8 days after clearing my bank, I am still only given access to a credit amount less that {$1000.00} payment made 10+ days ago.

Consumer Complaint: I have contacted this company numerous of times once I left from incarceration.
