I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report.

Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Checking my credit report, I noticed that an account from SYNCB/SAMS ( XXXX ) is being reported with late payment remarks. However, I find discrepancies between reports, as XXXX marks late payments in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, as well as XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Meanwhile, XXXX reports those late payments for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, while XXXX is not reporting any late payment marks at all. These errors and discrepancies lead me to believe that the information reported to the credit bureaus is incorrect. This situation prompted me to file this complaint, disputing the information regarding this account. Additionally, there are discrepancies in payment dates, account opening dates, reporting dates, and last activity dates. This situation makes me think that the company is violating Title 15 of the USC in the following sections : 15 USC Code 1666b This code establishes that a creditor may not treat a payment as late on an open-end consumer credit plan account unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures to ensure that each periodic statement that includes the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the obligor no later than 14 days after the close of each billing cycle. 
15 USC 1681e ( b ) : The information provided to consumers is inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete. 
15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) : Failure to conduct a reasonable investigation into disputed information. 
15 USC 1681 ( a ) : The inaccurate and misleading information contained in the credit report violates the FCRA 's requirement for fair and accurate reporting. 
15 USC 1681 ( a ) : The failure to investigate and correct these inaccuracies within a reasonable time frame is a violation of the FCRA. 
15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 2 ) : Furnishing information to a consumer reporting agency without the consumer 's written instructions. 
15 USC 1681n : You have failed to provide me with clear and conspicuous notice of my rights under the FCRA.
