Despite the previous written request, 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 creditors 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 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.

I have had a Care Credit / Snychrony account for several years. My original credit limit was {$800.00}. I have been paying the balance down on my account in order to reduce my overall debt load and increase my credit score. 

Looking at my statement I see my credit limit was lowered to {$580.00}. I have received no notification in writing or otherwise prior to my monthly statement. 

This is a clear violation of the CARD act and their own contractual obligations. It is adversely affecting my credit. 

I request my original limit be restored and any appropriate action be taken against this lender.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MN)

On XXXXXXXX XXXX  {$1900.00} was withdrawn from my checking account with the notation " VENMO REPAYMENT '' followed by several digits. When I called Venmo I was told this was in payment for a VENMO Credit Card bill. I told them I do not have a VENMO credit card. Subsequently I received a VENMO Credit Card in the mail that I did not request. A fraud complaint was created at that time. On a later phone call VENMO advised me that they would be sending me a refund soon. None came. Additional phone calls to VENMO resulted in them referring me to Synchrony Bank for a refund. I contacted Synchrony and was told the fraud claim had been approved and they needed the bank statement and address faxed in order to send the refund check. On XX/XX/2023 I faxed the requested items. After three weeks no check arrived. I called Synchrony again and was told that they could not accept FAXED documents and that I would need to MAIL the requested documents and information which I did on XX/XX/2023. After waiting 15 days as advised, still no check. I just called Synchrony Fraud Dept again and was told they don't show a record of having received the mailed documents and I should call back again in 3-5 days. I confirmed that they had been send to the correct address. It has been over 3 months since this happened and I have been told 3 times to expect the refund in 2-3 weeks and still nothing!
