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 inquiries I didn't consent to and personal information 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 never consented to these inquiries and did not provide written consent to report them List all inquiries : Here is the personal information that I never consented to or provided written consent to report : List all personal information want deleted :.

Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that I authorized or consented to these inquiries or personal information and proof that I authorized the reporting of this information. If proof can not be provided I demand these inquiries and personal information be deleted "

Despite my persistent efforts, these issues remain unresolved. Enclosed is a copy of the letter I previously sent to the credit bureaus. Your firm 's response dismissed my request for verification of erroneous items on my report as " frivolous '' or " irrelevant. '' I want to stress the importance of this matter to me. Should you choose to disregard my original request, which was sent via certified mail, I will not hesitate to escalate the issue to the Federal Trade Commission. I urge you to conduct a thorough review of the following information and provide evidence supporting the alleged item, such as a contract, note, or any document bearing my signature. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to demand the immediate removal of these items from my report.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I deposited {$500.00} dollars directly from my bank account into Amazons Secured Prime Store Card. After thought I no longer wanted to have a credit card and wanted to close my account the beginning of XXXX. I spent no money on it so the XXXX $ refund was in whole. Amazon synchrony bank said it would issue a check and i should receive to my address in XXXX business days. I was hoping it would be sooner but it has now been longer then a month and it is XX/XX/XXXX at the the time of this. Every time I called synchrony bank they gave me no answer and said there would be an investigation into why I have not received my check and that it would be reissued XX/XX/XXXX and i should receive it by XX/XX/XXXX, I also asked to speak to a manager and this is what the manager told me. All communication is on record and will show that Amazon employees provided no helpful information and only gave me a date and kept pushing the date back after said date came and still no check. After weeks of waiting I called today XX/XX/XXXX for the employee to tell me the investigation was in my favor and the check was reissued on XX/XX/XXXX and I should receive it in yet another XX/XX/XXXX business days. I am doubting Synchrony Amazon Bank at this point and am just asking for help. This may be only XXXX $ to amazon synchrony bank but it is way more to me or else I wouldve been able to wait but it is different when it is a necessity and a bank is just able to do this with your funds. I hope no one has to go through this.

If they were willing to provide me with the reconciliations and prove me wrong I would have paid before we got here.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against EXPERIAN, XXXX, and XXXX concerning their handling of a fraudulent account listed on my credit report. Despite my diligent efforts to resolve this issue through appropriate channels, including providing substantial documentary evidence, the bureau has failed to remove the fraudulent account. 



On XX/XX/2024, I discovered an unrecognized account on my credit report, which I immediately reported to EXPERIAN, XXXX, and XXXX as fraudulent. Following the recommended procedure, I provided a police report, an FTC Identity Theft Report, and sent letters of dispute along with copies of my identification to ensure thorough verification. 



Regrettably, my efforts to rectify this issue have been met with inadequate responses from the credit bureau. Specifically, after their investigation, they informed me that the data furnisher had verified that the account belongs to me. However, no proof or detailed explanation has been provided to substantiate this claim, which directly contradicts the evidence I have submitted indicating identity theft. 



The presence of this fraudulent account has adversely affected my credit score and has potentially far-reaching implications for my financial health. It is imperative that this matter be resolved promptly and fairly, ensuring that all inaccuracies are corrected in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
