Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am reporting to your attention a matter of significant concern regarding the violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). It has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX and Synchrony Bank have disclosed my private information to a third-party agency without obtaining my explicit permission, thus contravening the provisions of the FCRA. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681 et seq., explicitly safeguards the privacy and rights of consumers about the collection, dissemination, and use of their personal information by consumer reporting agencies. Section 604 of the FCRA ( 15 USC 1681b ) establishes that consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a consumer report under specific circumstances and with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. 
I became aware that XXXX XXXX and Synchrony Bank have shared my private information with a third-party agency without securing the necessary written consent from me. This act not only violates the FCRA but also infringes upon my right to control the dissemination of my personal information. 
Failure to address these concerns may necessitate further legal action to protect my consumer rights.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I took notice to inaccurate information on certain accounts. The accounts goes as follows ; [ XXXX  Account Number : XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX ] XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX ] The inaccuracies are that I was " late '' when I never was. This is tarnishing my reputation. This is violation of multiple federal laws set forth by Congress in regards to the above accounts. 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, late payment status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( CREDITOR ) making the report.

Additionally, a creditor CAN NOT mark a consumer as late for any reason/purpose as it violates 15 USC 1666b - A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. This is my consumer instruction ; remove all late payments from each account and update the reporting to reflect current/paid as agreed never late.

I am not in dispute of the ownership of the accounts so there is no need to " verify '' it, but if your company insists on " verification '' of these late payments then I request that you mail me a copy of the complete consumer file that you maintain concerning me after you act on this dispute. Note, the term file means all of the information on [ me ] and retained by [ you ] regardless of how the information is stored. 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( g ). Therefore, it is unlawful to send me a partial disclosure and not the entire file.

If you verify or deem the item of information that I disputed above as accurate and complete, then I request a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy or completeness of the information including the business name and address of any furnisher contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, pursuant to the provisions of 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ), in no later than fifteen ( 15 ) days after making such determination. See 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

Verification of compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1666b by the entities reporting this information. 3. removal of the late payments from my credit report.

Additionally, I request a free copy of my updated credit report upon the completion of the investigation. Your immediate attention to this issue is appreciated. Failure to address this matter within a reasonable timeframe may compel me to pursue legal remedies to protect my rights under federal law.

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

Complaint:
As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ) a federally protected consumer, it emphasizes the necessity of ensuring that consumer reporting agencies carry out their responsibilities with fairness and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. Notably, XXXX and XXXX function as consumer reporting agencies, with me being the consumer. I assert my right to safeguard my private information, supported by 15 USC 6801, which states that financial institutions, including furnishers of information to credit agencies, have an ongoing obligation to respect customer privacy and protect the confidentiality of nonpublic personal information. 
Under 15 USC 1681, Section 604, Subsection 2, it is specified that a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report by the written instructions of the concerned consumer. I am now opting out of all authorization I the consumer may have given written, unwritten, verbal, and nonverbal, for the furnishing of my information by financial institutions or consumer reporting agencies, such as XXXX and XXXX. Any consent or authorization given to report my information to a third party is hereby revoked. I am now rescinding that authorization, this is effective immediately and indefinitely. 
Referring to 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ), a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without informing the consumer of their option to exercise nondisclosure. I was not informed of this right by the furnisher of information to credit agencies. 
Furthermore, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) explicitly prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in a consumer report without authorization, especially information exceeding seven years. The reporting of adverse information without my permission violates this provision.

Per 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, no person shall furnish inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates consumer reporting agencies to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations and restrict the furnishing of consumer reports to specific purposes. XXXX and XXXX appear to be non-compliant with these obligations. 
Moreover, 16 CFR 313.1 affirms my right to opt out of reporting services at any time. I am hereby exercising this right and opting out of your reporting services. The law states it is illegal to report my transaction history and ask for the information to be updated to show paid as agreed.

Complaint:
Complaint Citi bank double transferred money due to a " internal error ''. I opened a ticket with them asking for an letter to provide my bank and a refund on my overdraft and late fees. Citi has told me to go to a branch because they are unable to accomplish either of these things. The branch tells me to call customer service. This issue happened on XX/XX/2023. I was in the woods hunting for the first 10 days of the month. When I got back into phone signal I noticed all of this and contacted CITI right away. I opened a ticket with the back office and called weekly for a resolution - there was none. They continue to tell me to go into a branch. 

How can your complaint be satisfactorily addressed? 
I would at least like my late fees and overdraft fees refunded but I would really like a letter or some kind of acknowledgement that I can send to my bank that this was not my fault. I have NEVER missed a payment until now and it wasn't my fault. I didn't double transfer the money.

Complaint:
I sent in a dispute to all three credit bureaus on XX/XX/23 to have a collection account removed that did not belong to me. I also sent a validation letter to the collection company to provide me with proof that this is my debt and validation of ownership that they are legally able to collect on it. I have NOT received a response nor any more attempts to collect the debt from the collection agency which proved to me that it was a possible scam/illegally trying to collect funds from me. I provided this information to All three credit bureaus and the dispute results came back updated and verified. I then contacted XXXX directly to go over my results and they assured me they will put in a dispute for investigation. XXXX days later, the dispute was completed. It was again updated and verified. I asked for a copy of the exact investigation process that was used to determine the outcome they provided and was told a copy of my report will be sent to me. I explained XXXX not asking for a copy of my report but for information of how they determined their reinvestigation to be accurate in XXXX days when the normal dispute process is 30 days. It was NEVER provided to me.
