Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am writing to bring to your attention the inaccuracies that are present on my consumer report regarding my student loan accounts. I have identified several discrepancies and I am requesting that they be corrected immediately. 

The first issue is with the account labeled U S DEPT OF ED/XXXX. According to my XXXX consumer report, this account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. However, I can assure you that I was not in school at that time. My records indicate that my last enrollment in school was in XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, this information is inaccurate and I request that it be corrected. 

The second issue is with the account labeled DEPT OF ED / XXXX. This account is well over 7 years old and I would like it to be removed/deleted from my consumer report.

Finally, the third issue is with the account labeled US DEPARTMENT OF EDU and how it is being reported by XXXX. XXXX is reporting that I have missed XXXX payments, which is giving me a 21 % payment history. This is completely inaccurate and is only being reported by XXXX and not the other bureaus. This inaccuracies is truly affecting my credit worthiness and is a clear violation of the FCRA 15 USC 1681a 3, 15 USC 1602p, 15 USC 1692j, 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( b ), 15 USC 1681b, 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( e ) ( ii ). 

I request that these inaccuracies be corrected immediately and that appropriate action be taken to ensure that they do not occur in the future. I would appreciate a response to this letter as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
My husband passed away in XXXX of this year. When XXXX XXXX XXXX reported my husband 's death to the credit reporting companies, they erroneously also reported that I was deceased. This resulted in my not having a credit score which is impacting my ability to obtain credit and will eventually affect my insurance rates and countless other things in my life. 

I contacted XXXX and they stated they would contact the credit reporting companies and clear up the error. They have since done that because XXXX  and XXXX  are reporting my credit scores again. Equifax, on the other hand is still showing me as deceased despite numerous phone calls to them. Their own customer service representative filed a dispute on my behalf. I have filed 2 disputes myself and I am confident that XXXX has also notified them that I am not deceased. 

I don't know what else to do to get them to start reporting my credit score again. Please help me. 

Thank you

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I sent goodwill letters to the CEO of XXXX XXXX regarding late payments on my credit card account from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. The reason for the lateness was because of financial hardship due to being laid off and the unemployment extending longer then expected. In both attempts in requesting to have these lateness removed I was denied my request. I have been a loyal customer of XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX and this is the only time I have ran into this issue. Since XX/XX/XXXX I have been paying this account on time and have not have a late payment since as well as had a car loan account with XXXX XXXX which was never paid late.

This account was paid in full and was only taken out for {$100.00}. It's been reporting behind by 120 days for the past four years which is inaccurate information. I've contacted the company extensively to fix this issue but they refuse. Even if the account wasn't paid in 2015 when I took the loan, it shouldn't report behind by 120 days indefinitely.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I contracted with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to complete the remodel of my master bath, master closet and a loft built-in bookshelf. They charged the full {$35000.00} to my Synchrony Bank credit card before they completed any work at all. They then completed the demolition of my bathroom and never returned to complete any other work. After months of repeated attempts ( calls, texts, emails, in-person at location ) to get them to resume the work, we canceled our contract with them and hired another company that has since finished the work. We wanted the {$35000.00} charge removed from the credit card since the work was never completed due to job abandonment. We appealed to Synchrony several times with pictures, emails and information from CA State Licensing Board and XXXX own bond company indicating that the company had several valid claims from other clients as well as ours. However, Synchrony keeps indicating that their client is willing to work with us and complete the work as a response to why the purchase dispute is not in our favor even though we've repeatedly explained why that is not possible. In addition, when we've tried to talk to individuals at their company to resubmit the claim and provide additional information, they didn't submit any of our requests. Both Synchrony and their employees are not acting in good faith. I've attached documentation to support my claim. All of which ( and more ) was already provided to Synchrony.

The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.

Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
About a year and a half ago, I was told by my previous credit card company ( XXXX ) that they had transferred my account to Barclay 's. They gave me a number to call for Barclay 's. I called and was told that there was no account transferred from XXXX. I waited a month and called again. Same result. I finally found an address for them and wrote to them. A card came in the mail about 3 months ago. I activated the card, began using it, and created an online account where I was managing payments and charges. Then I got another card in the mail, with a different account number. I haven't activated it because I don't want another credit card account. I asked them several times why I got the second account. I have not received an answer. In the meantime, they closed the first account. I have no access to using it for charges OR for making payments! Now, I got a letter in the regular mail telling me that I am being charged because my payments are being returned because the account is closed! 
So now, since the account is closed, I can't even send them messages. The attached message is the last one received by them where they try to explain " Bank Account Closure. ''
