Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (PR)

XXXX XXXX of AMAZON CS heard my Complaint that it's partner, SYNCRONY BANK, is source of problem. It reported on XXXX that my account was refunded. It closed my access down in XXXX ( acct ending XXXX issued to " XXXX XXXX '' ), and {$110.00} came back into it from AMAZON since that time. If I chat or call Syncrony, it arbitrarily transfers me into FRAUD DEPT in spite of repeat requests for CS. XXXX XXXX in SYN on chat said it was mailed without tracking, so wait. But SYN has delayed my refund for months. It skirts this issue by inventing FRAUD concerns of its own making, meaning it repeatedly disconnects or sends calls unannounced into its FRAUD, where FRAUD says it can not issue refund nor close account. To date, I have asked SYN to close my account several times since XXXX, disconnects. Ms XXXX knows I am seeking review of its false refund narrative for AMAZON to review as it originated the missing refund credits.

I have been trying to get my report updated with only accurate information for the last few years and I am still battling against these reporting agencies. I recently submitted yet again my XXXX written request to XXXX, XXXX XXXX and Equifax to have the incorrect information updated and or removed from my credit report. To date it still hasn't been resolved.. The information these agencies have been furnishing has been inaccurate and has impacted my score negatively even though I have many accounts that are all paid as agreed and never late, the negative information has significantly dropped my score and prevented me from being able to get a car, qualify for a XXXX XXXX agreement not to mention countless opportunities to help to further my business and take care of my family. 15 USC Code 1681s-2 ( A ) 1- States " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. In addition 15 USC 1681e says " Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishings of consumer reports for the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. 

I have researched diligently and according to the FCRA 15 USC 1681 602 which says " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy ''. XXXX XXXX, XXXX and Equifax are consumer reporting agencies and I am the consumer. I do have the right to protect my private information and make sure its not shared. This is backed also by 15 USC 6801. This states " It is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers non public personal information ''. Furnisher of information to credit agencies is a financial institution by definition under that title. Also 15 USC 1681 604 section 2 says " In general subject to subsection ( C ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. The financial institutions and the consumer reporting agencies, XXXX XXXX, Equifax and XXXX do not have my written consent to furnish any information. You can see in the documentation I have requested to Opt out in writing several times. Equifax, XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures and are in violation of the FCRA.

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.
