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

I checked my credit on XXXX to for the first time see that my account was closed. 
I went into my verified email XXXX and did not find ANY indication or notification that this was completed. 

I spoke to XXXX XXXX a XXXX in the accounts team, he did not give me an employee ID number- but he gave his last name, he said that what more than likely happened is that someone used my information to close it and that all he could do is put a note on the backend of the account which I told him was completely unacceptable. 

I received NO notification that this was closed by email nor mail and then when I call to tell them that i did NOT authorize this, they hit me with the we can only reinstate within XXXX hours of it closing ' which passed - they told me this was closed on the XX/XX/24. 

I spoke to another manager, XXXX ( wouldn't provide last name ) - just told me that they don't need authorization of both card holders to close the account ... but the first agent said that they need both primary card holders authorization to close the account. 

They stated that there was ability to file this as fraud .... 
I need help this is terrible! 

XXXX also advised that there is an internal system called the Adverse Action where they can file disputes but they told me that it was DOWN right now. That is was unavailable, can not use at the moment... but i could call back in XXXX hours and use it? She told me that this wasn't an available option? She then HUNG up on me.

I've noticed that there is still an incorrect account listed as correct on my credit report. I've already sent in letters demonstrating the accuracy of the information, but it hasn't been corrected, therefore the false information still exists. 

This is against 15 U.S.C. Section 1681i of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that disputed information be properly investigated and corrected. I am asking that you look into this again right away and either remove or correct the false information from my credit report.

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.
