I consistently make timely payments. I'm certain about this. What I'm unsure about is why this company is reporting me as late for certain months, which shouldn't be the case. According to USC 1666b, any billing errors should be corrected, or they'll be liable to pay me {$1000.00} for each account reporting inaccurately.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian for their failure to respond adequately to my previous dispute letters. I believe my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) have been violated, and I am seeking your assistance to address this matter. On XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX, I initially submitted dispute letters to the respective credit bureaus, disputing the accuracy of certain information on my credit reports. My dispute letters included details of the inaccurate information and evidence supporting my claims. As required by law, I expected the credit bureaus to conduct a reasonable investigation into my disputes and respond within the stipulated time frame. Unfortunately, despite my efforts to engage with the credit bureaus and my commitment to resolving discrepancies on my credit reports, I have received little to no response from them. I have not received any meaningful communication acknowledging the disputes I raised, nor have I been provided with the results of their investigations.

I recently became aware of incorrect information on my credit report in regards to a PayPal Credit Card. Apparently that card was taken out in XXXX. Payments were made on the card ( not by me ), but subsequently, the person who initiated the charges stopped paying. Somehow, this card and charges have been inaccurately associated with my credit report. When the person stopped paying, Synchrony charged it off and sent the account to XXXX XXXX, a debt collector. 

When I have contacted PayPal Credit, by phone, no agent will speak with me because they can not identify me as a PayPal Credit cardholder ( I do not have the complete account number and my name does not match ). As far as I can tell, neither my correct address, nor my correct name is on the delinquent PayPal Credit Card account with Synchrony Bank. 

Using this inaccurate information, Synchrony Bank has decided I am a credit risk and preemptively closed two of my accounts that were never delinquent and that have been paid on time - a Care Credit Card and a TJX Rewards Card.

The PayPal Credit Card account should never have been associated with my credit report if the information does not match. The name used to open the card is not my name and the address used to open the account is one that I have not lived at since XXXX. 

I sent this information to Synchrony Bank and asked them to initiate an investigation of the account so that they could remove the damaging information from my credit report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from Synchrony bank making reference to the Care Credit Card account that Synchrony Bank closed. This was not the PayPal Credit Card account that I am disputing should not be on my credit report. 

If anyone at Synchrony Bank had taken the time to actually read my letter they would have recognized that it is the PayPal Credit Card charges that I am disputing and not a Care Credit Card that has a {$0.00} balance on it. Why would I dispute that account? 

To make matters worse, Synchrony Bank has now informed the three Credit Bureaus that they have resolved my dispute and that the charges are accurate! And they have not investigated the account I am disputing! 

I am asking that Synchrony Bank initiate an investigation into the PayPal Credit Card associated with my credit report. I never opened the account in XXXX, never paid on that account, and have never received a bill from Synchrony regarding that account. 

That card should never have been associated with my credit report.

Per attached screenshots, this is in regards to DEPT OF ED/XXXX  as reporting on my credit reports. Please delete this account from my report due to inaccuracy and inconsistencies in reporting because the 120 days past due shows XXXX on XXXX, XXXX on TransUnion, XXXX on XXXX. Kindly see screenshots for proof. 

This inaccuracy is keeping a negative account on my report, substantially hurting my credit score and preventing me from receiving much lower lending rates.
