Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MD)

XX/XX/XXXX I received a invitation offer by email from XXXX XXXX XXXX to apply for a Credit Card with no impact to my XXXX XXXX if I'm declined*. I was hesitant and decided to call the number listed to confirm XXXX and was reassured that that info was indeed correct it was only a soft inquiry and no impact would occur to my XXXX XXXX ( which later turns out is a false/deceitful statement ). After getting off the phone I apply and get the we'll contact you message about this card. I then start thinking I really don't need this card as its redundant to another to my XXXX  Rewards card that offers cash back on XXXX. I call with in a minute to call XXXX XXXX  that I want my application withdrawn they said it looked like my application was accepted but with another department and that they would relay the word about my withdrawal. 

Late overnight I was awaking my email notifications stating there was a change in my credit report and that I had opened a account with Synchrony Bank ( SYNCB/XXXX  ) XXXX 
The following day I called and spoke to the Synchrony Bank about what had happened and was assured it would be taken care of the account that was opened would be closed and any inquiries would be removed. I was told a letter would be sent to the credit reporting agencies and myself as well as a mail correspondence one correcting the issue and as confirmation of action of letter to the Credit Bureaus. As a result I froze my Credit Accounts to prevent any unauthorized inquiries to the other Credit Reporting Agencies such as XXXX and XXXX. I went back to the application to see if I could cancel and it stated congrats I was approved I had email confirmation about using the electronic card while I waited for it to be mailed. 

I received XXXX conflicting pieces of mail correspondence on XX/XX/2023 from Synchrony Bank stating that they could not approve me for a XXXX XXXX XXXX Account because my Credit Reports were frozen and another stating the inquiry was valid. So in XXXX instance they said my account wasn't approved because of no access to my Credit Report ( yet I have a inquiry which is unauthorized ) and on top of it I took a hit to my score as a result of the inquiry and unauthorized account being listed on a XXXX credit bureaus. In the next letter they say they say I have a account and am a XXXX customer even though I told them I didn't want the card immediately and after finding out they had opened a account I told them to close it as it wasn't with my consent. They said they would over the phone. I'm upset about their shady practices. I want this unauthorized inquiry removed and confirmation the account was closed per my phone calls with them ASAP.

My account with 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 in 60 days 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.

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! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports XXXX

A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

I have on several occasions made known to EQUIFAX that they are still reporting fraudulent information that they told me falsely through this CFPB portal it was removed. Upon me checking my report via myequifax.com to my surprise the account was and still is reporting! I have called EQUIFAX as well as disputed this fraudulent account, provided two FTC reports and provided other documents and disputes regarding this account and was told by EQUIFAX that the account was removed. At this point I have no choice but to seek legal counsel after this final attempt to rectify what I know to be unlawful use of my credit report. I ask the CFPB to look into this account as well as past responses from EQUIFAX that falsely state they have removed the fraudulent account that continues to report on my credit profile. The dates of these responses are in the CFPB 's portal under my disputes made to CFPB on XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022. I have also attached previous disputes and there dates outside of CFPB sent to EQUIFAX alerting them of all the fraudulent information they were housing do to someone illegally using my information to open accounts etc. I also have attached with those disputes an FTC report with my identifying information. I ask that this issue be looked into as I have been denied housing as a result of this fraudulent inaccuracies being reported by EQUIFAX effecting me emotionally. Please Help. Lastly I have attached screen shots of my current credit report and how the item that was said to be deleted by EQUIFAX is still in fact reporting. This is unlawfully misleading and not being honest. I have included my license as Identification and as proof of my address as I do not have any bills at the moment to do so. And have attached my social for additional proof.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (KS)

On ( XX/XX/2022 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
