This is one of several times I've discovered that my credit report had inaccurate information. The three credit bureaus must verify these accounts in accordance with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not acceptable to report these accounts as unconfirmed information without validating them within the legally required time range.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (VA)

On XX/XX/year> a payment was made to Synchrony bank the new servicer of my XXXX credit card. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email message ( attached ) that said the payment had been processed and no further action was required on my part. There was mention of an issue with the bank account number ( I was never asked to change or correct it ) but the payment was applied and the money no longer appeared in my account. It does say to log in to ensure it was processed which I have tried to do ( and am still trying! ) and no one at the company seems to know why I am unable to log in to my account other than as a Guest. The bank stated the money was not accepted by the servicer. I have asked them for this proof but it has not been provided. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX I got an email stating my account was overdue and that the XX/XX/XXXX account had not been applied and was in delinquency. 

The change in card servicer was apparently XXXX but I never received a new card, a new statement and my payments were made prior thru Autopay and in that short window I did not check to see that it had not gone through. 

Upon calling the company, it was discovered that when the change between the two banks were made they did not have the correct contact information, clearly a clerical issue in their database. 

Attempts to make payments were made multiple times in XXXX in the 30 day window but the servicer could not process them and I am being held accountable for this.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts 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 creditor 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 accounts 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 CORRECT or 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 banks 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 am writing to express my profound disappointment, anger, and disbelief regarding your handling of the fraudulent account that has appeared on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to resolve this issue and my diligent submission of all required documentation, including the FTC Identity Theft Report, this fraudulent account remains unresolved, and my credit report continues to reflect inaccuracies that are severely impacting my financial standing and peace of mind. 

I brought this fraudulent account to your attention because I was assured that an investigation would be conducted, and the account would be removed if found to be fraudulent. Since then, I have written multiple letters and provided all necessary documents, including : A detailed explanation of the fraudulent account. 
The completed FTC Identity Theft Report. 
Copies of my identification documents. 
Any additional information requested by your office. 

Despite my compliance and the clear evidence presented, I am deeply frustrated to find that my efforts have been in vain. The account in question remain on my credit report, and I have not received any satisfactory resolution or clear communication regarding the status of your investigation. 

It is disheartening to experience such neglect and lack of responsiveness from an institution that plays a crucial role in safeguarding consumer financial information. The continued presence of these fraudulent accounts are not only unjust but also a severe breach of my rights as a consumer. I expect prompt and decisive action to rectify this situation.
