Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NV)

I recently had a consumer support notice that I had not paid a bill. In researching my credit report on XXXX XXXX I found a closed account through SYNCB/PPC under the name of XXXX XXXX for approx {$810.00}, in contacting this creditor I was told that this account was associated with my social and my address but this is not my name. They stated that the account had been opened with Paypal and that they would send me a statement that I have recently received. the statement clearly shows the account was opened under XXXXXXXX XXXX  and I have never used this name, my only names ever used are XXXX XXXX ( Maiden Name ) and XXXX XXXX ( Married name ) which can easily be seen on my credit history. 

This account was open for only 3 months and then closed in XXXX and has never had a payment made on it. I let this credit company know that this was not my account and they stated that everything but the name matched so they would not assist me. 

I have since opened several disputes with XXXX and XXXX in which they updated incorrect information such as an address associated with me in XXXX Arizona that is not an address or a state I have ever lived. They refuse to remove this account from my credit history and claim that it is mine but it is not my account. I have had a strong credit history for years now and this is damaging it and I do not want to pay money for an account that is fraudulent and was never applied by me. The fact that the last name is a name I have never used should be a telling sign that this is not my account along with the fact that I have not been late on any payments with any CC companies for years now even through the COVID shut down. 

I have since put a year-long credit fraud alert on my account but I am not sure how to remove this fraudulent charge but I do not feel that it is right that I should be hit with the damage from someone committing fraud against PayPal when they approved a card that does not match both my first and last name.

On XX/XX/2021 a vehicle was purchased from JD Byrider of XXXX in Ohio. This was done through a retail installment contract.

A copy of the Lien Affidavit for the vehicle as well as the full accounting ledger for debits and credits associated with the account have been requested and the loan company refuses to provide these things.

My loans have always been on either deferment or on an income contingent based plan and my payment amounts are {$0.00} a month. On my credit it shows that I have 12 missed payments from XXXX.

I didn't have an amount owed because they were in deferment. It shows that I do take this seriously, the accounts were current before this and have been since then. I am being severely affected in my life now from these negatively impacting my credit. I have asked if they would remove the so called missed payments and they have repeatedly told me that they can't, that I have to dispute with the credit bureaus, but they would send me a credit reference letter to make up for it. I am trying to buy a home and these 12 " missed '' payments are severely affecting my credit score. Without them I would have a XXXX+.

I bought a brand new 2021 XXXX XXXX XXXX. The main reason why I choose the hybrid is for the fuel efficiency, when I looked at the car window sticker I saw number 48 MPG I was so excited about how great that number is. But in the real world driving I was shocked and surprised that I am only getting between 35 to 38 mpg. You might say well it depends on how you drive I am driving with the speed limit sometimes I was going below the speed just to reach that magic numbers! but no matter how I drive the numbers stayed the same. I do believe XXXX is misleading about the actual gas mileage and thats absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable.

This correspondence is a notice of default with an opportunity to cure before I file suit depending on your response to this complaint. I have sent you an affidavit along with an invoice for several consumer rights violations under FDCPA for a federally protected consumer. I would like to clear this matter up out if court, if we cant reach an agreement I will file suit and you will be served immediately. 

I entered a consumer credit transaction using my open ended credit plan meaning, l, the holder of my social security card, a form of a credit card pursuant to 15 USC 1602 definition where I am both the creditor and the seller allowed The creditor to extend me my own credit from my open ended credit plan. I am the originator of all consumer credit transactions better known as the original creditor. I gave my credit to creditor to extend back to me making them a creditor/debtor. I entered a consumer credit transaction.

I NEVER gave you or any other debt collector permission to send me a bill/statement through the mails trying to coerce payment and threatening me to report to cras or any other agency if I didn't pay this alleged debt. On record These are all alleged debts that I owe and Pursuant to 18 USC 8 I know All obligations of indebtedness are the obligation of the UNITED STATES.

Two the contractual agreement your sending my collection bills/ statements for has already been paid with my open ended credit plan all correspondence from your company is fraudulent. PURSUANT TO 15 USC 1692j ( a ) It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating.

Third, It is Fact that an affidavit is pivitol in law do to the fact nothing ( in law ) has the power to cancel out override an affidavit except another affidavit which has rebutted the first, point for point. ( Rule 902 ( 1 ) ( A ) a seal purporting to be that of the United States ; any state, district, commonwealth, territory, or insular possession of the United States ; the former Panama Canal Zone ; the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands ; a political subdivision of any of these entities ; or a department, agency, or officer of any entity named above ) Fact, your company has no right under federal law Rule 902 ( 1 ) ( A ) to self authenticate this document.

After defaulting on my affidavit This is your opportunity to cure our of court. You will not be able to seek legal action against me. Because no lawyer was present to witness the transaction, if you where to try to seek action the lawyer would in fact be practicing here-say because they where no physical present when the alleged transaction occurred which is illegal.

On XX/XX/2018 I had a credit score of XXXX. There were no issues regarding a XXXX  XXXX XXXX credit card on my history. After the car purchase, my credit dropped dramatically. After looking into this, I discovered that XXXX had pulled 2 hard inquiries ( 1 without my consent through XXXX ) and suddenly I was getting hit with an issue with a XXXX  XXXX XXXX credit card. I attempted to fight them and explained I never applied for the card. My husband XXXX was the applicant. They argued with me that I was a co borrower of this card. Furthest thing from the truth. I requested proof of my signature for this card and after months of waiting they sent me a scribbled line that they claim was my signature. It was not. My signature card on file with XXXX XXXX XXXX is very legible ; as it is with all my signatures. I feel that because they are a large corporation they are attempting to fraudulently place my name with my husbands battle with them. I never once purchased anything on this card. My husband is currently in conversations with settling with them on his own issues of this card. I am beyond frustrated that it never came up until last year. It has ruined my credit score. I feel helpless and will not accept something that is not mine.
