Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to dispute a fraudulent collection account that has been wrongly reported on my XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax credit reports by XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I am deeply concerned about the impact this false information may have on my credit history, financial stability, and overall well-being. 

In XX/XX/2023, I discovered that there was a collection account on my credit reports from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, which I had no knowledge of. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX immediately, and they informed me that the account was opened in my name in XXXX XXXX 

I was taken aback by this information since I have never had any financial dealings with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I explained this to their representative, but they were unhelpful and insisted that I was responsible for the debt. They also refused to provide me with any supporting documentation. 

Since then, I have been trying to clear my name and remove this fraudulent account from my credit reports. I have filed disputes with all three credit bureaus, but they have all come back stating that the account is valid. This has been an extremely stressful and frustrating experience, and I am at a loss as to what to do next. 

I am confident that I am not responsible for this debt, and I believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX has made an error in reporting it on my credit reports. I have always been responsible with my finances, and I take great pride in maintaining a good credit score. This fraudulent account has negatively impacted my credit score, and I am afraid that it will continue to do so if it is not removed. 

I am appealing to the CFPB to intervene in this matter and help me clear my name. I respectfully request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and order XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX to remove this fraudulent account from my credit reports. I am happy to provide any additional information or documentation to support my claim. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Synovus Bank
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
After Hurricane lan hit XXXX Florida on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX changed our flood zone ( on XX/XX/XXXX ) to a " Special Flood Hazard Area- XXXX XXXX '' which according to FEMA means we ARE NOT REQUIRED to have flood insurance, because according to FEMA this is a MODERATE to LOW risk area.We have a freshwater canal behind our house that is designated as ZONE XXXX, and when FEMA drew the lines separating Zones, part of our pool cage fell in Zone AE. We have a complaint in with FEMA regarding this. Synovus holds an equity line of credit for us with a XXXX dollar balance.Our primary mortgage company has not forced flood insurance on us, but XXXX did.On XX/XX/XXXX we received a notice from Synovus stating that we had 45 days to acquire flood insurance for our property.We complied with this request and secured flood insurance within the 45 day requirement.This is where my complaint comes in. On XX/XX/XXXX we received a notice from Synovus stating that they received our flood insurance policy and NOW Synovus was going to back charge us for flood insurance they SUPPOSEDLY purchased for our property without our consent and without notifying us and now they are back charging us {$800.00} for what they called a " lapse in coverage '' dating back to XX/XX/XXXX when FEMA changed flood zones.This is outrageous. Synovus then charged our home equity line of credit for the {$800.00}. We have been in contact with XXXX XXXX ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Manager of Synovus Bank ) who has not been very helpful in resolving this matter. My question is, If Synovus knew about the change in flood zones and were requesting flood insurance on our home starting XX/XX/XXXX, then why didn't they contact us in XXXX to require flood insurance? Instead they claim they purchased a high premium flood insurance policy on our home without notifying us at the time and then decided to back charge us for the time we were unaware our home flood zone was changed unbeknownst to us We contacted our cities flood plane manager and he told us " It looks like the XXXX flood line clips your pool cage, which shouldn't put your structure in a flood zone as the pool foundation is separate from the residence foundation XXXX XXXX He also stated that, " lenders are frankly lazy into looking into this, and that FEMA 's designation is that " For floodplain management purposes, a structure is a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground, as well as a manufactured home. The terms " structure '' and " building '' are interchangeable in the National Flood Insurance Program ( NIP ) and therefore a pool cage is not a structure, ergo, if the cage is in a flood zone it is irrelevant.
