Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

Ive contacted experian multiple times and I continue to try and dispute the accounts theyre incorrectly reporting and all they say is that I cant dispute them anymore Ive already disputed it or that it meets FCRA requirements which is not good enough. Ive let them know that just because something meets the requirements doesnt make the information correct. They will not send me a copy of my credit report to show in detail why it is my credit score wont rise it just continues to lower without any explanation what so ever. They will not contact me back or provide further information and theyre continuously damaging my credit score which in turn is hurting me as a consumer. Ive already contacted the companies that are reporting on my credit report who agreed to remove my late payments because the accounts were paid in full but experian says that they are reporting correctly and they arent. I also I have a potentially negative item on my report that has failed to provide in detail why I owe them and will not provide any other information but experian has said that they are reporting correctly. They refuse to look further into anything or report correctly.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (LA)

I accidentally paid my credit card twice, and I called them to let them know. I was paying the full balance as of XX/XX/XXXX and balance should've been {$0.00}. 
I called them to notify them that I accidentally pressed pay twice and they said I have to call my bank after the charge is made. When I saw it on my bank statement, I checked my credit card and found they credited the extra charge to my account. The problem was, that the {$3100.00} they should've credited, was now, {$2400.00}! I checked my purchases that I made last night, and they added up to about {$270.00}. How could my balance that was credited to my account be {$2400.00}? I tried to check my statements, There aren't any! 
They just show the charges, but I feel that based on my charges and payments, I may have been overcharged since I've owned this card. I don't want to use this credit card anymore. They are dishonest.

They have placed a public record on my consumer report that should not be there : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  said they verified it but I reached out to the courts who verified that they do not report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus. I have attached the letter that I received from the court. They are in violation of my rights pursuant 15 usc 1681b under permissible purpose. They never validated nor verified anything with anyone at the courts. XXXX is violating multiple laws including : The reporting requirements do not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C 1681I ) and the information must be deleted immediately. The civil liability law which I will sue under is clearly here : 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) - Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( Consumer Right to Privacy ) ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The Congress makes the following findings : ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy.
