I want to emphasize that I have already opted out previously from having my information reported, yet XXXX XXXX  and Portfolio Recovery Associates disregarded this opt-out and unlawfully reported information on my credit report, which is a clear violation of federal law and my rights. 

Furthermore, pursuant to 15 USC 1681 ( b ), which outlines permissible purposes for obtaining a consumer 's credit report, XXXX XXXX  and Portfolio Recovery Associates did not obtain my written consent to furnish any information on my credit report, nor did they provide me with the option to opt out.

Failure to provide these documents would indicate that they can not prove that anything is owed at all.

Neither XXXX XXXX  nor Portfolio Recovery Associates has the right to use the non-mailable addresses they have on file, and all communication must only be through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). 

Failure to comply with these demands may result in further legal action. I expect immediate action to rectify these violations and ensure that my consumer rights are upheld in the future.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint against Synchrony of what I believe was a violation of Anti Trust Law. I have faithfully paid my account monthly and now that I am in a place where I can be a bit more aggressive with paying my balance down they lowered my balance {$100.00} above the amount that I paid! This in return would cause my utilization to max out and I did not feel that was ethical! They claimed they did so based on my credit and since Ive been doing this across the board there is no way possible that they lowered my limit based on all my cards being maxed! I logged in online to pay my bill before the due date only to be locked out! I called customer service and I was told based on my credit report my card was closed on XX/XX/XXXX. Now please check and see when my initial complaint was received and this will show clear retaliatory behavior which I believe was retaliation for filing my initial complaint! I due to plan to contact my attorney on the matter. Im appalled that Synchrony would respond this way having never missed a payment or defaulted on my card agreement!
