Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I purchased a XXXX bucket of freeze dried meat on XXXX for {$200.00}. I paid through paypal using my Paypal Synchrony credit account. I never received the item, so I opened a dispute with Synchrony credit. As evidence, I submitted an internal USPS trace on the tracking number provided by seller. It shows that the package was sent to a different address in my town, a couple miles away. It also showed that the package only weighed a few ounces, when it should have been over XXXX. The seller only provided the same tracking number as evidence in the dispute, which only showed that it was delivered to my town, but not my specific address. They ruled in the sellers favor and denied my refund, even though I proved I did not receive it. I re-opened the dispute twice, and both also ended in sellers favor. This is not right and I want a refund for non-receipt of merchandise.

Your agency is now put on official notice of these violations, which makes you liable. Furthermore, according to 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) A detailed mechanism must be created to perform an investigation determining the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character and my overall reputation.You have directly reported information that has resulted in my defamation of character.

I have documented evidence based on the fact that they are violating 15 USC 1692j ( a ) Your company has caused extreme financial and emotional hardship for me and my family.
