Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL)

I was able to open a XXXX credit card that is facilitated by Synchrony Bank. I initially was approved for a {$400.00} credit limit with no interest if paid within 6 months. I made all of the payments on the purchases I made paid the balances in full before the promotional period was over. I thought I was doing a good thing and trying to build my credit by doing so. Shortly after I paid the balance of the card off I received an email from Synchrony bank stating that they are decreasing my credit limit to {$100.00} from {$400.00}. A month or so went by and I received another email from Synchrony stating they were closing my account and gave some very confusing reasons. I feel this is extremely unfair and I received this email the day after a major hurricane just went through Florida. Its extremely insulting and unprofessional. Also they are referencing a credit report by XXXX where I also have a dispute with a creditor XXXX  on there which they wont remove an illegal loan.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MD)

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report.

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft.

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

An unknown individual used my personal information in the past to obtain credit from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and other banks without my knowledge or consent. 
I filed a complaint with XXXX XXXX Police department and I attach a copy of the card containing the case number with this letter. 

This matter concerning the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account has been resolved with Experian in the past and reposted again recently by the creditor. It is illegal for this information to be reposted in my personal credit file when it was deleted and blocked in the past due to fraud. Please delete and block these fraudulent accounts from my credit report as they are fraudulent information. XXXX expecting that the credit bureau will help me with this matter, I want to thank you in advance.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA (GA)

In XX/XX/year>2024 Mohela transitioned its accounts so online payments could not be made until an account transitioned fully. Because Mohela could not guarantee my account would be fully transitioned by my XXXX due date, a representative recommended I make my XXXX payment directly to Mohela via bill pay/electronic bank transfer. I made this payment of {$1200.00} on XX/XX/year>2024 and it posted/processed on XX/XX/XXXX via XXXX on my banks ( XXXX XXXX ) bill pay/electronic bank transfer. I have proof that payment was processed and received per my bank, and the payment trace number is XXXX. Mohela has to this day not updated my account with proof that this payment was received. I have called them multiple times and received different information with each call. At first I was told they would open an investigation to locate the payment and that this would take 10 business days. On the latest call, I was told it would take NINETY business days to locate the payment received and apply it to my account. One representative told me they could see the payment in one system on their end, but not another. I have offered to send my banks proof of payment many times and am always told they dont need that information, but yet nothing gets updated. This is frustrating not only because of the amount of money in limbo, but until the payment is updated, it delays my ability to apply for loan forgiveness. I believe the XX/XX/year>2024 payment constitutes my 120th payment for PSLF. If the XX/XX/year>2024 payment is not reflected as received on time on Mohelas end, then XXXX may not be able to process my loan forgiveness application for PSLF.

Mohela has double reported accounts on my credit report. I had five active loans last month after paying on them for 5 years. Recently, XXXX notified me about increasing loans and total value. I filed report # XXXX with XXXX and contacted Mohela . This was done early on XXXX XXXX, 2024. I was given a resolution that the doubled accounts shown would not be removed. This has negatively impacted my credit and will make credit harder to get and cost more. Further, facts dont align as XXXX shows that Mohela hasnt reported up to date facts since XXXX of 2024, but I just recently had the duplicated loans showing on my credit report. This is shown on the attached picture.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 MONTHS REPORTING LATE 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. 

This company 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.
