Complaint narrative:
Im writing you today about a grave issue. My privacy rights are being invaded. Per 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) you have full responsibility to exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Im exercising this right under the code. Please see the following information is handled with the utmost fairness, impartiality and respect for my right to privacy. 

For the record, Im the one whos initiating the disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. According to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

In your previous correspondence you mentioned that my identity theft report needed to be filed with a law enforcement agency which subjects to criminal prosecution. One of these agencies is the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). FYI the report I was filed online WITH THE FTC which by your representation IS A law enforcement agency. My FTC Report # is XXXX. I dont think you have reviewed the documents submitted & are sending me frivolous boiler plate responses to deflect from your responsibility to comply with FCRA laws. Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian due to their failure to conduct a reasonable investigation as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Experian was recently sued by the CFPB for conducting sham investigations, and my case is another clear example of their failure to comply with federal law. 

Issues With Experian : Fraudulent Accounts : I disputed multiple fraudulent accounts that resulted from the Equifax data breach and Experians lack of permissible purpose to report them. These accounts should have been blocked and removed, but Experian wrongfully verified them as accurate without conducting a proper investigation. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX provided a letter on XX/XX/year>, confirming that they have no record of me being an account holder. They stated that if this were a valid account, it would appear on all three bureaus, yet Experian is the only one reporting it. 
Failure to Investigate Within 30 Days : My dispute was submitted over 30 days ago, and Experian failed to complete the investigation within the legally required timeframe, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ). 
Incorrect Name & Address : Experian is reporting my name incorrectly as " XXXX XXXX XXXX, '' which is not my legal name. I do not have a hyphenated last name. Additionally, Experian has listed an incorrect address on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  This is not, nor has ever been, my residence.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I have been getting bills from Synchrony Bank regarding an account that isn't mine. I told Synchrony many times NOT to continue to harass me for a debt that isn't mine. There is no Synchrony account on ANY of my credit reports. But Synchrony has continued to send me billing statements at least every 30 days for over a year. 

As a XXXX person, I am protected under New Hampshire XXXX from harassing collection practices, and Synchrony 's continued incorrect billing constitutes harassment under NH RSA 358-C:3.

Under New Hampshire law, specifically NH RSA 358-C:3, it is illegal to : Continue communication with a person after being notified that the debt is not their responsibility as Synchrony has done Engage in conduct which can be expected to harass or abuse any person in connection with debt collection as Synchrony has done. 
Make false representations about a debt or its collection as Synchrony has done. 

Additionally, as a XXXX person, I am afforded special protections under NH RSA 167-D, which provides additional safeguards against harassment. 

I am hoping that you will publish this complaint on consumerfinance.gov so others can learn from my experience and that you will contact Synchrony bank and tell them not bother me anymore. I don't have any of Synchrony 's letters scanned into my computer nor do I have a scanner to do that. But Synchrony knows what it has been doing to me.
