State: FL
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:
Hello im am writing to get assistance resolving a charge dispute for the amount of {$820.00} to my synchrony XXXX credit card. The amount reflect the cost of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased through XXXX via a second party vendor XXXX XXXX XXXX The charge is in error due because the items weren't delivered nor received. 

I was tracking this purchase via XXXX website in order to make sure I was home when delivered, On the day of expected delivery XXXX a message was posted that the delivery was delayed and expected on XXXX. Next day XXXX I received a notification that it was delivered after midnight. After looking around my property there was no package and also checking my security camera during the time frame of so call delivery I was convinced it must have been an error message. I immediately contacted XXXX via the website chat on the afternoon of XXXX. At first they emailed the refund department to check on the return and issued me a refund.. After no resolution in their part I reached out again to XXXX  and was told to contact the seller because it appears that the items was delivered, I contacted the seller and he advised me that the refund was issued on XXXX to XXXX. Once again I contacted XXXX via chat and advised the that the seller issued the refund on XXXX in which they directed me to contact Synchrony bank and open a charge back dispute due to the fact I bought the items with my XXXX credit card. After contacting synchrony and opening a charge back dispute they concluded that im responsible for the charges because it states that the item was delivered. I sent them documents showing the sellers response writing that a refund was issued in the full amount and gave them access to my chats with XXXX but again they closed the dispute saying the item was delivered. According to synchrony because the item is labeled delivered they can not issue the credit. I tried to have XXXX and synchrony and the seller communicate with each other and resolve this issue but have no luck. This should be an easy resolution the seller admits the refund was issued I don't know what the issue is I sent every document concerning this to all parties. I even sent bank statement and XXXX receipt to show I repurchase the same set tire via XXXX ..This is pretty much my last resort to resolving this matter I've been dealing with this for 6 months I will include all documents sent to XXXX and synchrony with this complain and will await any emails concerning or requesting more documents from me.. 
Thank you XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Complaint:
I am XXXX XXXX and I'm submitting this complaint my self and there is no third party involved.

As a natural person possessing an open-end credit plan, I was harmed by American Express in the form of an adverse action taken against me by denying my rights as a consumer to benefit from a consumer credit transaction.

Complaint:
I called Experian after I purchased a credit report from Experian.com on XX/XX/2022. After receiving a copy of my report, I saw these UNVERIFIABLE items on my personal profile, I noticed that there were Name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX Account : XXXX XXXX BANK XXXX on my credit report which are UNKNOWN to me. This is disappointing because I have been paying Experian.com to get a report every month and I have been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report all this time. One of the staff told me to visit XXXX  : XXXX and Report the Fraudulent accounts and have them BLOCKED OR REMOVED from my credit file. Ive attached a copy of the identity theft report ( FTC report # : XXXX ), and guess what I found? Per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B ( a ) the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days with ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

A copy of my Utility Bill, drivers license, and Social Security Number are all included in this complaint. I want you to know that I am telling the truth and by Experian not blocking these items are inadvertently resulting in me being extorted.
