Complaint:
This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. 
I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Last reported XX/XX/2022 {$1900.00} Reported balance I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. 
Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting. Please delete this misleading information and supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last six months, or the last two years for employment purposes.

Additionally, please provide the name, address, and telephone number of each credit grantor or other subscriber.

Under federal law, you have thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your re-investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of your re-investigation.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
When I purchased furniture from Ashleys XXXX XXXX in XXXX Mississippi on XX/XX/2022, the store clerk incorrectly entered my information from my paperwork and instead put the details for my mother, XXXX XXXX ( not XXXX XXXX as her account information shows ) who already had an Ashleys account and bought something the same day. I noticed the error and asked the clerk to correct the details. Somehow, the error remained, and it has caused a massive amount of trouble for me and her. 

The furniture was not delivered for several weeks until XX/XX/XXXX, because the delivery address was to my mothers home in XXXX, Mississippi and not my own in XXXX, Mississippi, and the contact number was her cell phone instead of my own. I called Ashleys to discuss the correct delivery address and they were unable to fix it. I offered to pick it up from the store instead and they were unable to change the delivery method. I suppose the person I spoke to corrected the delivery address because my mother started receiving texts asking when to deliver the furniture to my correct address, and she ( luckily for me ) filled it out so that it would be sent to my home. This issue was a multi-week stressor and I was happy to have it behind me. My mother, my spouse and I thought the sole issue was the delivery address and contact information, but that was not the case. 

My mother, XXXX XXXX received a credit card from Ashleys XXXX XXXX  for which she did not apply. We realized that her information must have been used instead of mine for the purchase, despite my correction at the store. I called the Ashleys store and was told they could not help ; I called XXXX XXXX  and was told they did not hold my account ; I spoke with someone at Synchrony who said that it was her name and contact information with my social security number, they could not fix the problem over the phone, and I would have to send a letter to Synchrony explaining the issue. I immediately sent such a letter. 

I tried to pay the minimum fee online but was unable to because I did not have the account number, because the only documentation I had was from the store on the day of the purchase. I eventually, in XXXX, received a bill with the account number and was able to pay the first balance, with accrued late fees. 

wrote two letters to Synchrony explaining the issue. The first received a nonresponsive letter and I received no response from the second. I sent them copies of the sales order, delivery ticket, letter from Customer Service Department, and credit card
