XXXX XXXX states and reports that I owe on a business credit card. I have had numerous investigations opened through them, all of which they close with minimal investigating.

I was an authorized signer on it as it belong to my ex spouse but I was still not the owner of the account or ever affiliated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is not my debt.

I have an unverified bankruptcy reporting on my credit file. I reached out to the courts to verify the courts method of verification with the credit agencies and the courts responded saying they do not in any way report to the three major credit agencies. I mailed the letter I received from the courts as well as a request to remove the unverified account to all 3 credit agencies. I never received a response in writing but when I called to check the status of my request, the credit agencies responded by saying they could not authenticate my letter from bankruptcy court. I responded by resending the letter from the courts only this time I had both my dispute and response from bankruptcy court notarized. I have received a response from 2 of the 3 credit agencies stating that the account has been verified by the credit agencies even though the courts say they do not communicate with these companies. Please help assist me in having this unverified account removed from my report.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, provide proof, and documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified.

It appears that my credit/my file/my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NC)

Synchrony Bank has sent false credit reports to the credit bureau, each month, for " unpaid '' payments of more than 60 to 90 days. The monthly balance is always paid on time. Sometimes, a bigger amount is paid more than the minimum amount due. It is set on auto pay, meaning the balance due is supposed to automatically come out of my account each month. Synchrony Bank scams their customers who make on-time payments; adding unreasonable late fees, decreasing their credit score and closing their accounts without warning. This has been on going since XX/XX/2020. The amount due changes every month because of false late fees. Something needs to be done about this company and the horrendous, scamming practices. It's detrimental to the customer who makes it their duty to make on-time payments and keep their credit score in good standing.
