Complaint:
XX/XX/2018, I applied for a credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX and was denied because of the following Credit Reporting Agency : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX XXXX formerly known XXXX XXXX? 

I received a letter from Synchrony Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX Fl XXXX denying me credit because of XXXX XXXX. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX and was connected to a automated line. I don't understand how the Federal Government can allow any company claiming to be a reporting agency access to our personal information? Is there any accountability for Reporting Agencies? This is very unfair and critical. Where is our protection? 

They must answer or be stopped from reporting " defamatory '' reports. 
I have excellent credit and want answers, not an automated line.

Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
I filed a dispute against XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/23. Long story short, the bank screwed me around so severely about the dispute that I ended up closing my account. 

Later they realized their mistake and sent me a check for the disputed amount ( {$140.00} ). But for some reason, they reopened my account without my permission to bill me for that amount without telling me why or giving me any reason why that happened. I contacted the bank about it and they told me the hotel is arguing back so they reopened the dispute. They told me what the hotel said, and it is 100 % lies. 

I spent so many hours dealing with this in the first place and chose to close my account. I never asked for my money back but they voluntarily gave it back to me. Now I'm back in this mess and also am finding out that if I don't pay the bank the {$140.00}, and nothing is resolved, it could go into collections and mess up my perfect credit. Additionally, this is not good for my mental health. 

I would have been fine putting this mess behind me, but they paid me back and now I'm back in it. Please help!

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2018, XXXX XXXX XXXX another collection item showed on my credit report that has not been verified or validated. I contacted Equifax XXXX online XXXX, XXXX and XXXX to advise of the issue. I asked was there a fraud alert and they said " yes ''. 
Fraud alerts have been on my credit report since XXXX, 2018. 

I advised they that they are reporting not valid information and asked them to remove it. They informed me that they have to dispute it, even if it's fraud. That I should file a police report if I believe it was identity theft. 

One of the requirements is that I'm allowed to obtain information from a debt collector. At this time, I was not able too. I was advised to contact the debt collector.
