I have submitted numerous " certified letters '' to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX regarding a medical debt collection account- XXXX XXXX XXXX that is not mine! I even submitted a letter from " XXXX XXXX XXXX  '' stating they have no account with me as proof! I have been getting return letters stating my account has been " updated and verified ''. I have asked numerous times for XXXX to provide me with the paperwork and measures they went through during the investigations process to verify this account.??? I know this account is not mine and I have submitted proof numerous times backing my request. For some reason, I keep getting put through this never-ending circle of " verified '' letters that are not actually properly investigated. I'm fed up and want some answers or to provide me with accurate information on this account. I know this is not my account and that is why I have fought so hard to get this off! Not only did XXXX, not investigate my account, but they also updated and verified, and created an entirely new account on my credit report that is the SAME collector. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Now, not only am I fighting XXXX account. NOW THERE ARE XXXX!!! This has to be the most irritating and draining dispute I have ever had to face. I know these accounts are not mine and I am just asking for due diligence to correctly investigate and get these off my credit report as my credit is very important to me. 

Thank you for your time in helping me get past the dang robot on the other end of XXXX.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I submitted a payment by electronic check to the bank I use for my auto loan and they sent an email stating there was an error and the payment could not be processed. I processed another payment by debit card. Soon after, they withdrew my checking account that I initially used. I disputed the transaction with my bank after I tried to let them know it was a payment that wasnt supposed to go through. Both payments were reversed and the company is reporting my account incorrectly. Ive tried to ask for leniency because Im getting my credit back on track.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

Synchrony is playing a little game with me now. 

I always OVERPAY what I owe despite that our system is so warped, my XXXX XXXX is LOWERED for trying to pay off my debts. My XXXX. What DO you people do? ANYTHING? You just seem like a glorified secretarial service. We complain, you send it to them but NOTHING EVER CHANGES with the system. Honestly, we have no idea what CFPB does. 

XX/XX/2022 -- I doubled my owed payment of {$30.00} to {$60.00}. 
XX/XX/2022 -- I paid {$200.00} on my bill. 
XX/XX/2022 -- I paid {$100.00}. 

All of this is WAY WAY over what I owe. Then I get a notice from Synchrony I have " defaulted '' on a payment from XXXX and they charge me greater interest and a late fee despite that I am OVERPAYING the minimum. The XX/XX/XXXX payment was to cover the XXXX payment as well that they now say is delinquent. Now they are threatening me with highest interest rate and fees. Again, like a XXXX XXXX. How can I be in default when I have overpaid to the tune of over {$200.00}? 

Just to get them to leave me alone, I signed up or auto-payment but then they sent me an email they do not start until XX/XX/XXXX. This is new. 

I hate being f with. Really really hate it esp when I am trying to pay off my debts. There is NOTHING late. I have OVERPAID. They need to remove the latest " late payment '' and why suddenly has my auto payment date changed? All designed to XXXX me over.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

I have been trying for years to remove account number XXXX XXXX  XXXX off of my credit. I reached out to the company the refuse to remove the late payments on the account. I then ask for the company to send me my payment transactions. According to Credit acceptance file my first late transaction was XX/XX/XXXX which mean this should have been removed for my consumer report as of XXXX, but according to Trans union, XXXX, and XXXX my first late payment was in XXXX. I have reached out to all three Credit reporting agencies about this account and they all have been responding that the account is accurate and verified. I even request for each credit agency that stated these items were accurate to send me proof of their investigation for my dispute. According to 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. I have never received anything and I guarantee that they have not reached out to my neighbors, friends, family, or associates. This is why either of the three credit reporting agencies send me the documentation that I requested. Due to Credit acceptance not reporting accurately and Trans union, XXXX, and XXXX not doing a proper investigation according to the FCRA, I believe XXXX XXXX and all three credit reporting agencies ( Trans union, XXXX, and XXXX ) deliberately tried harm me. Because of this I have been denied credit, charged high interest rates, and also suffered for a low credit score for 2 years longer than I should. I am a consumer and I have rights and these companies has violated most of them if not all. This is discrimination, defamation of my character, and I am sure much more once I reach out to a lawyer. I dont believe the consumer reporting agencies have my best interest and now they have proven that their companies are not trustworthy and have not been investigating disputes properly according to FCRA XXXX If this happened to me I can only imagine how many other consumers are affected by this. I am requesting that all late payments, collections, and hard inquiries to be removed immediately. I am attaching documents to prove my statement is accurate and intact is true.

I recently wrote you on XX/XX/2021 in regards to erroneous items on my report and I have yet to here back from you. It's been well over the 30 days, and as stated in Section 611 ( a ) of the FCRA, failure to investigate disputed items within 30 days leads to deletion of items. I'm looking forward to these disputed items to be deleted immediately or I plan to file litigation for the XXXX that's been caused against me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax Data breach, and may have got into the wrong hands and person.
