Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Re : Dispute of XXXX  XXXX Account # XXXX on Credit Report I am writing this letter to express my serious concern and objection to the continued furnishing of the above-referenced account by your agency on my consumer report. As per my understanding, this account is reporting past the statute of limitations in the state of Georgia and is adversely affecting my credit history. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I had submitted a dispute through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding this particular issue ( copy of the dispute letter attached for your reference ). Despite my previous attempts to rectify this matter, upon reviewing the notification from Equifax received today, I was astonished to find that the account is still appearing on my report. 

According to your records, the account was updated based on the information provided by the furnisher. However, this information is well past the statute of limitations. The most recent report reflects that the Date of Last Activity was XX/XX/XXXX and the Date Closed was XX/XX/XXXX. This information suggests that the account is over nine years old, which is beyond the credit reporting time limit as set by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA. Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. Please have these accounts corrected for once : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
Synchrony has started random credit checks on open accounts again, similar to the practice they did in 2008. Based on the information they receive, regardless of payment history, they lower your credit limit to just above your current balance. In one case within the last month, they lowered a credit card line of credit from {$12000.00} to approximately {$5000.00}, just above the current balance. Aside from plans I had to use this card, this significantly changes your available credit to debt ratio which impacts your credit score greatly.

Along with this, they send you an email with a link to read said letter about the action they have taken, however the link does not work and produces an the following error message - Invalid or Unknown Request Solicitud no vlida o desconocida The only way to learn what the letter says is to call them and their customer service person will read you the letter over the phone.

Complaint:
As a responsible consumer, I take my credit score and reputation very seriously. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to make payments on a debt I had incurred. However, I have since rectified the situation by paying off the debt in. I believe that this action demonstrates my willingness and ability to fulfill my financial obligations.

Despite my efforts to rectify the situation, the presence of this debt on my consumer report has continued to negatively impact my credit score and my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. I have been denied credit and financing opportunities, which has further exacerbated the damage caused by this debt.
