Hi, This is to discuss a fraudulent account opened with Care Credit, a division of Synchrony. 

I was alerted through my credit monitoring that there was an decrease in my credit score on XX/XX/2023. 

In investigating, it was due to an account I have no knowledge of through the company " Care Credit '' ( Synchrony ) where an account was opened at a dental office in XXXX FL ( I live in XXXX, GA ). They had allowed someone to use my social security number with a different name, different phone number, and a different address to open an account and max out the card in two trips to a dental office in a state I have not lived in nor traveled to. 

While I did contact Care Credit and they issued a fraud investigation- they were rude and not helpful in understanding the process or next steps. I'm in the process of buying a house and they would give no path to resolution time frame or follow-up.

Subject : Request to Cease Contact Regarding Alleged Debt Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address an ongoing issue that I have been experiencing concerning the receipt of letters from your office regarding an alleged debt. I would like to inform you that I have never entered into any contractual agreement with your company, and therefore, I do not owe you any debt. Item is also listed twice on my credit report. 

As a third-party debt collector, it is essential that you understand that I have thoroughly reviewed my financial records and have found no evidence of any outstanding debt owed to your company. I kindly request that you stop calling and mailing me regarding this matter immediately. 

I have taken the time to educate myself about consumer laws and my rights in such situations. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), in order for any alleged debt to be considered valid, there must be a valid signed contract between the debtor and the collector. As I have not signed any contract with your company, it is XXXX clear that I do not owe you any debt. 

I kindly request that you respect my rights as a consumer and cease all communication with me in relation to this alleged debt. Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could remove any negative information related to this debt from my credit report, as it is incorrect and misleading. 

Please understand that any further attempts to contact me or any failure to comply with my request will be considered a violation of the FDCPA, and I will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action to protect my rights. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I expect to receive written confirmation from your office within 30 days acknowledging that my request has been honored and that all contact regarding this alleged debt will cease. 

Yours sincerely,

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

I have been a Wells Fargo customer- both for credit cards and checking and savings accounts for 20 years. I opened a Wells Fargo Rewards credit card in 2014 with a XXXX limit. My credit limit as of 2 days ago was XXXX and I have not charged to the card in over a year in an effort to pay down the balance, which is currently at {$11000.00}. I went to check the card today and my credit limit had been dropped to {$11000.00}, so I have barely {$300.00} of open credit now. While I am not looking to charge to this card, I am trying to build up a better a XXXX XXXX and having some open credit is obviously a large part of that. This card has an astronomically high interest rate in which I have tried to get lowered over the years with no luck. So my only hope is to pay it down and keep open credit with it. I have paid over the minimum payment for years now and have never been charged a late fee.I have a lot of debt in general, but am extremely careful with my XXXX XXXX - I have no late payment or derogatory remarks on my credit file, just a lot of debt that I am working to pay down. 

As soon as I saw my credit limit had been lowered, I called and the customer service agent I spoke to claimed he had no idea the reasons for my credit limit being dropped and that I would receive a letter eventually. I was so upset, I just cancelled the card so at least that would look favorably on my credit to close it. This is now the XXXX time that Wells Fargo has lowered my limit. They will increase it, and then lower it not because of anything having to do with Wells Fargo, but bc they will claim they do periodic checks of my credit and bc my debt is high, they felt they had to lower it. 

I strongly object to a company doing this to a loyal customer. I am working so hard to build up my credit and pay down my balances- how can I do that when these companies make decisions that they believe are best for them, but yet just punish their customers when it comes to their XXXX XXXX? I have done nothing but fulfil my requirements of this credit card 100 % and they still do something that negatively affects my own personal credit. 

I know I am a small time customer with Wells Fargo and they look out to protect their own interest, but how can they do this to me when I have done nothing but try and pay down this card in good faith for years now? My record with this card will speak for itself. I am disgusted and upset that I try so hard to pay down the card and I still have these negative actions against me. It is horrible treatment towards a long standing customer.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ)

I tried Customer Service, and they were very professional and polite, and said that the promotional rate set by marketing for balance transfers was the only option and that there was no room to negotiate ( I asked to speak with someone else to negotiate, my idea, not theirs ). The promotional rate is 22.8 % which is just too high. I'd be willing to go 0.00 % for 12 months and then that amount for a transfer of {$2300.00} from XXXX. 

Thank you, Let 's talk.
