Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX MD XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Dear CFPB, Subject : Complaint Regarding Charged-Off Accounts I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a charged-off account that are affecting my credit report and financial standing. The details of these accounts are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX and Account # XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has charged off this account. Once your debt is sold to a third-party debt collector or considered charged off, it becomes a certificate of indebtedness. This means that it is now considered income and can not be reported to your credit report. It is important to have these accounts removed immediately. 
I have also previously sent a letter to this company three months ago, stating that I am exercising my right to opt out of their reporting of these accounts, as per 16 CFR 313.7 ( f ) and 15 USC 6802 According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, section 602 ( a ) of 15 USC 1681 states that consumer reporting agencies must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. 
TransUnion is a consumer reporting agencies, and as the consumer, I have the right to ensure that my private information is not shared. This right is supported by XXXX XXXX XXXX, which states that financial institutions have an obligation to respect the privacy of their customers and protect the security and confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information. The furnisher of information to credit agencies is considered a financial institution under this definition. 
Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) of 15 USC 1681 states that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. Neither the financial institution nor the consumer reporting agencies, TransUnion, have my consent to furnish this information, and they certainly do not have my written consent. Any previous consent given to TransUnion, or the furnisher of information to credit agencies, whether it was verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is now revoked. 
The Furnisher of Information to credit agencies did not inform me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option, which is in violation of 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ). Additionally, the Account that is being reported by them is an adverse item without my permission, which is against the law according to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ). TransUnion is not maintaining reasonable procedures as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A and 15 U.S. Code 1681e. Furthermore, as stated in 12 CFR 1016.7, I am opting out of their reporting services. 

Thank you XXXX XXXX

I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration concerning the ongoing issues I have been experiencing while trying to remove fraudulent items from my credit file with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX Credit Bureaus. These fraudulent items have been causing significant distress and financial hardship, and despite my multiple attempts, the situation remains unresolved. I believe it is essential to provide an overview of the numerous attempts I have made : I first noticed the fraudulent items on my credit file and promptly contacted XXXX, XXXX and XXXX  Credit Bureaus. I explained the situation and submitted the required documentation. 
I was assured that the issue would be corrected promptly. After not receiving any updates or resolutions, I followed up on the status of my case. I was informed that my case was under review and that I would be contacted shortly. To my dismay, I had still not received any updates or resolutions. I made another inquiry and was told that my case had been escalated and that I should expect a resolution within a specific timeframe. The timeframe for resolution passed, and I had yet to receive any communication or see any progress in removing the fraudulent items from my credit file. The following items should be remove as soon as possible : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : {$XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX **** XXXX : {$XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

This is my numerous attempt to inform you that I am an identity theft victim and that certain data in my file appear to be the result of improper activity. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with transactions that result in the acquisition of any property, money, or products that I have either made or approved.

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

I went to the Ashley furniture store to look at some furniture for my house. When I went to pay for the furniture I chose, I was offered an Ashley card by synchrony bank. I didn't want to open a new card but as I was told that I would have the advantage of having 1 year of no interest fee I thought it would be the best option. Several credit card companies give you this advantage of not paying an interest fee in the first year, I thought that would be the case with Ashley credit card too. It was not explained or clarified to me that after 1 year, if I still had a balance to pay, I would be charged all the interest fee that had not been charged in 1 year. I was not notified. The process of opening the card was very easy, too easy! 
So, every month I paid a little on the card and after a year I still had a balance to pay. I then thought that I would start paying the interest fee from XXXX but to my surprise I was charged the entire interest fee for 1 year. {$1800.00}, almost {$2000.00}. I was in shock! I've never seen such a misleading promotion. I contacted the bank but they said it was a promotion and that they sent me statements showing that I would be charged. I have not received any correspondence from them in my mail. Their website where I log in to make payments is very bad, it is not informative. I contacted them but they don't offer me any solution, they really want to receive this interest rate. I don't think it's fair since this should have been made clear when we were opening the card. They make it easy for you to open a card with them, it took less than 5 minutes to open and no information was given to me about it. I feel deceived. Why they didnt explain this before? This is a very important think I should had known before I opened a card with them.. thats sad a company as big as synchrony bank need to do this

Dear XXXX Customer Service, I'm writing to address an ongoing issue with my account ending in XXXX, which seems to be a persistent problem despite previous efforts to resolve it. On XX/XX/XXXX, your automated system erroneously sent charge-off information to XXXX. This action overrode my previous removal of the charge-off on XX/XX/XXXX. This issue has been recurring since XX/XX/XXXX. 

In your letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, you acknowledged that the balance in question was solely due to fees assessed on a previously zero balance account. Consequently, you reversed the charge-off and requested the removal of delinquencies from my credit file. Despite this, the charge-off information continues to be incorrectly reported. 

There appears to be a clear disconnect in communication between departments within your organization. The recurring nature of this issue suggests that your automated systems are not aligned with the manual corrections previously made. This inconsistency is causing significant frustration and undue stress. 

To rectify this situation, I urge you to take immediate action. Please ensure that the charge-off is permanently removed from my account and credit file, and prevent any further incorrect reporting. It might be necessary for someone to get in touch with the appropriate department to coordinate this fix, rather than relying solely on automated processes. 

Humans need to talk face-to-face, via XXXX, or on the phone to resolve complex issues like this. Automated systems are clearly failing to address this ongoing problem effectively. I strongly suggest that a dedicated representative from your team take the initiative to personally go to the other department and ensure that this issue is resolved. It is imperative that a dedicated person takes ownership of this problem and communicates directly with the relevant department to prevent further errors. 

I've taken steps to resolve this on my own by contacting XXXX directly, but it is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the information you report. If this matter is not promptly resolved, I will not hesitate to start a class action lawsuit. I am likely not the only person experiencing this issue, and a class action may be necessary to ensure that this problem is addressed for all affected customers. 

I expect a prompt resolution to this matter and confirmation that the charge-off has been permanently removed from my credit history.

Despite numerous attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not connected to me in any way, and I hold no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I am left with no choice but to consider legal action if this matter is not promptly resolved. 

These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to achieve my goal of purchasing a home and providing for my family 's needs. The financial impact has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) outlining this issue and seeking resolution.
