Consumer complaint received 2024-08-01
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

Checking my credit report, I noticed that an account from SYNCB/SAMS ( XXXX ) is being reported with late payment remarks. However, I find discrepancies between reports, as XXXX marks late payments in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, as well as XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Meanwhile, XXXX reports those late payments for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX is not reporting any late payment marks at all. These errors and discrepancies lead me to believe that the information reported to the credit bureaus is incorrect. This situation prompted me to file this complaint, disputing the information regarding this account. Additionally, there are discrepancies in payment dates, account opening dates, reporting dates, and last activity dates. This situation makes me think that the company is violating Title 15 of the USC in the following sections : 15 USC Code 1666b This code establishes that a creditor may not treat a payment as late on an open-end consumer credit plan account unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement that includes the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the obligor no later than 14 days after the close of each billing cycle. 
15 USC 1681e ( b ) : The information provided to consumers is inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete. 
15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) : Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information. 
15 USC 1681 ( a ) : The inaccurate and misleading information contained in the credit report violates the FCRA 's requirement for fair and accurate reporting. 
15 USC 1681 ( a ) : The failure to investigate and correct these inaccuracies within a reasonable time frame is a violation of the FCRA. 
15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 2 ) : Furnishing information to a consumer reporting agency without the consumer 's written instructions. 
15 USC 1681n : You have failed to provide me with clear and conspicuous notice of my rights under the FCRA.

Dear CFPB, I am writing to dispute a fraudulent collection account that has been wrongly reported on my XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX credit reports by XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. I am deeply concerned about the impact this false information may have on my credit history, financial stability, and overall well-being. 

In XX/XX/2023, I discovered that there was a collection account on my credit reports from XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I had no knowledge of. I contacted XXXX XXXX  XXXX immediately, and they informed me that the account was opened in my name in XXXX XXXX 

I was taken aback by this information since I have never had any financial dealings with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. I explained this to their representative, but they were unhelpful and insisted that I was responsible for the debt. They also refused to provide me with any supporting documentation. 

Since then, I have been trying to clear my name and remove this fraudulent account from my credit reports. I have filed disputes with all three credit bureaus, but they have all come back stating that the account is valid. This has been an extremely stressful and frustrating experience, and I am at a loss as to what to do next. 

I am confident that I am not responsible for this debt, and I believe that XXXX XXXX  XXXX has made an error in reporting it on my credit reports. I have always been responsible with my finances, and I take great pride in maintaining a good credit score. This fraudulent account has negatively impacted my credit score, and I am afraid that it will continue to do so if it is not removed. 

I am appealing to the CFPB to intervene in this matter and help me clear my name. I respectfully request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and order XXXX XXXX XXXX to remove this fraudulent account from my credit reports. I am happy to provide any additional information or documentation to support my claim. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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 those account 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. 


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


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX 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

XX/XX/year> Dear XXXX This letter highlights an error that was discovered in my most recent credit report, related to the account listed below : Account : XXXX XXXX  : XXXX, Reported account does not match the reported accounts from the other bureaus. Remove the damaging accounts from my credit report. 

I am concerned about this inaccuracy in my credit report. Making a mistake like this could damage the account 's financial reputation. 

To top it off, this error is concerning. One expects that critical data that influences important financial choices will be handled with extreme caution to guarantee accuracy. The existence of this error raises questions about how effective the procedures used are. 

Pointing out that customers have the ability to dispute and have errors in their credit reports removed is crucial in light of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Customers have the specific right to contest information in their credit files, and Section 611 of the FCRA requires credit bureaus to look into the contested items. 

In keeping with these goals, this letter requests that the recognized error be fixed and my credit report 's accuracy be restored in accordance with the FCRA 's Section 611 requirements. Feel free to get in touch if you require any more details or clarification. I appreciate you giving this urgent matter your attention. 


Here 's the law US Code 1681 e ( b ) collections must be 100 % accurate across all 3 bureaus Best regards.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
