These can be combined On my credit report, you have shown incorrect accounts that should not be there at all.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Synovus Bank (IL)

I had 2 secured credit cards with First Progress. After receiving a unsecured card from another credit provider I called First Progress and asked them to close these 2 accounts and refund what monies I had left in my savings after the accounts were closed. They stated that the deposits will be used to credit the amount owed on the cards, which I had no problem with that. I wasn't looking for a big refund since I had a balance on both cards. 
I just wanted the accounts closed! They said that it would be taken care of. So I waited for my refund, but instead I got a statement on both accounts that they were past due. So I was charged a late fee and I called right away to find out why these accounts were not closed as requested. They stated it takes 15 day to make sure no further charges came through. So they continued charging me late fees and if I recall I think they charged me a over the limit fee. I told them I was not going to pay late fees and these accounts should have been closed and my little refund sent to me. So since I told them I was not paying any late fees. They kept reporting my account late until they finally sent it to collections and wrote it off as a charge-off and continued reporting it to all the bureaus. These account were secured and they should have been closed as they were asked. Nope let 's charge him late fees/over limit fees and write it off as a charge-off.

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.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the numerous unsuccessful attempts to remove late closed and charge-off entries from my credit file. I have made several requests to address these issues, but despite my efforts, the negative entries persist on my credit report. 

I have attached supporting documentation, including evidence of the resolutions and settlements reached with the respective creditors, as well as any relevant correspondence confirming the closure of these accounts. Despite providing this information on multiple occasions, the late closed and charge-off entries remain on my credit report, negatively impacting my creditworthiness. 

I understand that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate and up-to-date information on consumer credit reports. The persistence of these inaccurate entries is a violation of my rights as a consumer, and I request immediate action to rectify this situation. 

I kindly request the following actions be taken : Thoroughly investigate the inaccuracies in my credit report related to the late closed and charge-off entries mentioned above. 

Promptly update my credit report to reflect the accurate and resolved status of the accounts in question. 

Provide me with a written confirmation of the corrections made to my credit report. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution. Failure to address and rectify these inaccuracies within the stipulated timeframe may compel me to escalate this matter to regulatory authorities. I am asking for your assistance to remove these late closed and charge off accounts in my credit file:1. XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - I need the following investigated account name, date of last activity, and opening date. I believe this information may be wrong. I need this removed immediately. 
2. XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$3000.00} - I requested an investigation and the removal of the charge-off status. No changes were made. No investigation was conducted at all. You had optimal time to review this matter and make the appropriate corrections, you elected not to. Please remove this item immediately. 
3. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$160.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER. 
4. XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$560.00} - I believe this account is reporting inaccurately. I do not recall ever having a legal obligation with this company nor do I believe one exists. Please provide me with verifiable proof this account belongs to me. I request a signed contract which is the ONLY LEGAL authority that stipulates an agreement. Please remove it.
