Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
Opened account XX/XX/XXXX. At the time my credit was poor. Since then in an attempt to improve credit rating I opened a couple of credit cards to establish an improved credit rating. I consistently paid on time and never missed a payment. My credit rating improved over the year. In XX/XX/XXXX I paid account down by {$400.00} with a balance of {$400.00}. Within 3 weeks they decreased my limit to {$460.00}. I continued to pay on time. On XX/XX/XXXX I paid off account. On XX/XX/XXXX they closed my account. I called, they said it was based on my credit overall report. Only item that changed was an erroneous remark from XXXX  that a payment was missed. That was resolved and removed from my credit history. Even though my credit is in better standing than when I opened account they closed it, which negatively affected my credit rating. I asked them to please review it again since the recent missed payment from XXXX had been resolved. They refused, stating once an account is closed, it will remain closed forever. Im concerned about their blatant disregard for the consumer.

Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
Cosigned for mortgage in XXXX. Account seriously delinquent since at least XX/XX/XXXX. Never notified of delinquency EVEN to date by HSBC or the primary borrower. Discovered XX/XX/XXXX when routinely checking credit report. I don't even have an account number for this loan! My credit score dropped from XXXX to XXXX in XXXX because of this account. I obviously pay my bills! HSBC, by NOT informing us of the delinquency, has engaged in unfair credit reporting. How can I be expected to resolve this matter if I'm uninformed? This could have been resolved 2 years ago & modifications made. As I stated I don't even have an account number. Also we have NEVER lived at the address of the loan nor have we EVER received mail there. The address was added to our credit report XX/XX/XXXX without our knowledge or consent! An HSBC representative informed us that the primary borrower can request that the cosigners NOT receive notifications! If we have EVER been notified of issues with this account, please provide us the addresses or phone numbers notified because there are several wrong phone numbers & addresses listed on my credit report.

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

Complaint:
My XXXX and XXXX credit reports are having trouble correcting false information that World Finance has imputed to my credit reports. I never had 2 loans with 2 sets of identical data ( late payments from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). The story starts off with me disputing the Late payments on ONE ACCOUNT with World Finance that resulted from World purchasing loans from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The LATE PAYENTS were resolved and erased from my XXXX report. Unfortunately XXXX and XXXX are still showing the late payments AND AS TWO DIFFERENT LOANS but with identical late payment information. As you can imagine my credit scores on these credit reports are HAVING A DOUBLE EFFECT because of this error. I've send several CERTIFIED LETTERS WORLD FINANCE but to no avail. IN SUMMARY, WORLD FINANCE somehow can't understand the showing two loans ( one that I never had is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act! I've called representatives there and they can not seem to UNDERSTAND that i never had 2 loans BESIDES THE ONE THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM XXXX XXXX XXXX LAST YEAR ( World Finance Loan Number XXXX ). Therefore, i have 2 sets of late payments for the same months ... .the other loan they are reporting is under the titles of PERSONAL CREDIT PLAN or WORLD FINANCE CORPORATION-LOAN XXXX XXXX ( WHICH I NEVER EVER HAD ) but you can tell from the report that reporting data and lates ARE the same even though they are listing two different account numbers. So i'm alerting the CFPB before i reach out to my attorney and costs me money. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against SYNCHRONY BANK, for violating my cease and desist notice, continuing harassment, threats, defamation of character, and continuing to collect an alleged debt under false statement or representation. 

SYNCHRONY BANK stated in their letter ( Exhibit A ) dated XX/XX/2022, You did so by signing the application, whether written, verbally, or electronically, and agreeing that you understood the terms and conditions of the account. SYNCHRONY BANK violates the protection of my nonpublic personal information under the XXXX XXXX. SYNCHRONY BANK never disclosed that I have a right to opt out of my nonpublic personal information before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and given an explanation of how I can exercise that nondisclosure option. 

According to the consumer credit protection ( 15 USC 1693l ) waiver of rights, No writing or other agreement between a consumer and any other person may contain any provision which constitutes a waiver of any right conferred or cause of action created by this subchapter. Nothing in this section prohibits, however, any writing or other agreement which grants to a consumer a more extensive right or remedy or greater protection than contained in this subchapter or a waiver given in settlement of a dispute or action. 

I never gave SYNCHRONY BANK consent to disclose my nonpublic personal information which constitutes Aggravated identity theft ( 18 USC 1028A ) by false pretenses. 

SYNCHRONY BANK stated in their letter ( Exhibit A ), We have received and will honor your request to cease collection efforts on this account. SYNCHRONY BANK continues to dishonor by continuing to communicate and collect on the account. I received mail letters dated XX/XX/2022 ( Exhibit B ), XX/XX/2022 ( Exhibit C ), XX/XX/2022 ( Exhibit D ), XX/XX/2022 ( Exhibit XXXX ), and XXXX emails ( Exhibit F ) dated from XX/XX/2022 thru XX/XX/2022. SYNCHRONY BANK continues to report negative information on my consumer report and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

SYNCHRONY BANK has not only violated my right to privacy but also violated multiple Federal Laws. 

I hereby demand SYNCHRONY BANK honor my cease and desist letter, stop further collection on the account ending in XXXX, and remove any negative information on my consumer report.
