Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

I had three credit cards from synchrony Bank and I had another credit card from XXXX. What happened is one day I applied for a credit line increase on my synchrony bank credit card and I was granted an increase but after a couple of days or almost a week three of my synchrony bank credit cards got shut down, I would like to mention that I had never had any issues with Synchrony Bank. I was a customer for two years a loyal customer and I had paid all my dues all the time in a timely manner. I never had any issues, when they send me a letter explaining the reason why they closed my account, they said that I was posing a risk of not going to be able to pay back my credit card bills, after I received their letter I gave them a call, and I told them that this is unfair because I had always paid my bills. I was never late. I never had any issues. There was not a single problem during the past two years that I was a customer and the letter that they sent was not fair because I never posed a risk of not being able to pay my credit card bills.

My main problem started after synchrony bank. Once synchrony bank decided to close my credit cards, they reported the closure of my cards to the credit card bureau like XXXX and XXXX XXXX and XXXX. once they reported the closure of my credit cards to the credit bureau, my XXXX card got closed as well, so when I called the XXXX bank and asked why did they close my card? they said its because synchrony bank had closed your cards so we are gon na close your cards too. they said you have to call synchrony Bank, and ask them the reason why they closed your cards and then if they decide to reinstate, we will reinstate your card as well, so they were following the decision of Synchrony Bank, and now I am left without any credit cards and until this day, I still dont understand why Synchrony Bank would take a decision to close my credit cards, keeping in mind that I never had any issues with any bank, I was a diligent customer with all the banks that I worked with. I never had any late fees. I never had any issues with the credit bureau with any bank or any credit cards.

I have decided to make this complaint because I feel that this is not fair and they have treated me unfairly, even some of the synchrony Bank employees that I spoke with over the phone, they told me the same thing that they didnt see any risk associated with my account. They just dont understand why would this happen? Why would Synchrony Bank close my cards, resulting in the closure of my other card as well.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I have disputed the referenced accounts to the XXXX main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EXPERIAN Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.
