Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (GA)

Synchrony bank/care credit is one of the worst financial institutions that I've ever worked with. I ask them for months to provide me with a settlement and they refused saying that I would need a late payment for them to offer me a settlement. They then charged off my account and proceeded to report it wildly inaccurately to all three credit bureaus. I've asked that it be corrected or removed at least 10 times and they refuse to do so. In addition, they have charged large and unnecessary fees to my account.

To whom it may concern. 

We contacted XXXX XXXX, they asked to reach out to your office for help. 
We are requesting your assistance to have a negative mark removed from our credit bureaus, which both XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX  refused to do, even after numerous attempts. In XX/XX/XXXX, my wife and I obtained a mortgage through XXXX XXXX XXXX which eventually was transferred to XXXX XXXX . In between XXXX XXXX XXXX, we lost our business, and my wife XXXX XXXX was diagnosed with XXXX. This was right about when the pandemic started. Also, due to financial burdens and medical bills, we had no choice but to file for bankruptcy. Obviously, once a person files for bankruptcy, all creditors get notified, which of course, XXXX XXXX was. Although the mortgage was never included in the bankruptcy, we were able to negotiate and get approved for a modification program through the bank, and we have all files to prove it. During the bankruptcy, our attorney reached out to XXXXXXXX XXXX, but unfortunately, they never reached back out to him for negotiation. Regardless, we went through the modification, and we were making payments on time without missing any. Since then, we have sold our home and closed on it XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX was paid in full, and we have a letter directly from XXXXXXXX XXXX, showing that our mortgage was paid, satisfied in full of no liens on the property whatsoever. Unfortunately, we recently found out that it was reported to the bureaus that it was included in the bankruptcy. Weve asked XXXX, and XXXX XXXX numerous times to change the reporting to paid in full, they refused to and treated us very unfairly. Due to that negative mark, we are currently paying a high interest rate on our new mortgage. So, we ask of you to please help us out, try and reach out to them and ask them to possibly change it to paid in full/never late. We would love to be able to refinance for a lower rate. If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to call us at XXXX. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a text message stating that my mortgage payment for XXXX had been returned. I concurrently received a notification from my credit monitoring services that I was assessed a 30-day late mortgage payment. In response, I called and sent proof to XXXX XXXX  of that claims fallacy. I paid my XXXX mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX. At no point between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX was my account insufficient for the debit of my mortgage. Additionally, there were no NSF fees or notice of a returned payment. Further, I called XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX Central to tell the customer service representative that my payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX, but it hadnt been withdrawn. I asked her if she saw anything in her system that indicated an error. She said no. It was an 18-minute call. Similarly, I called on XX/XX/XXXX after receiving a text message falsely stating my payment had been returned. The customer service representative told me she saw that it had been returned, but that there was no explanation as to why. She said that payments are returned for 2 reasons and insufficient funds is one of the reasons, but she didnt state the other reason. It was a 12 minute call. I called XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and, upon their research, they confirmed that no such attempt at an ACH was initiated and no fees associated to the {$2800.00} payment was found. I want an instant removal of the 30-day late credit reporting and a reversal of any fees associated to the returned payment claim. Ive attached bank records showing daily balances between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, as well as proof that there were no NSF fees in XXXX, and that the 2 NSF fees ever assessed were in XXXX for XXXX XXXX  transactions. 

I filed a complaint with the XXXX and XXXX responded by further affirming that the payment had been returned. They did not attach proof of a returned payment and, instead, shared materials that they asserted they sent me to assist those who were having mortgage payment issues. I've sent the required information showing XXXXXXXX XXXX error and want this resolved immediately.
