Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing XXXX  to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I financed a laser hair removal package valued around {$3700.00} through Synchrony XXXX XXXX provided by XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX of XXXX, Pennsylvania. I completed only a few unsuccessful sessions before my employer required a mandatory relocation to XXXX  XXXX, California, where I now permanently reside. XXXX XXXX does not have any locations in California. This rendered the service physically inaccessible. Prior to that, XXXX assured me that their lasers were effective on ingrowns, blonde hair, and pale skin, which was false. After multiple sessions, my hair grew back just as thick and my skin erupted in deep and painful ingrown XXXX  that required medical intervention to drain. I contacted XXXX directly via phone and sent a certified cancellation request that they received by mail on XX/XX/scrub> 2025. My request was ignored. I then notified Synchrony and asked how to close the account under these conditions. They refused, stating only XXXX can cancel it. 

I am now being pursued for {$1300.00} remaining balance by Synchrony for a service that is geographically inaccessible, was medically harmful, and tied to a merchant who refuses to engage, despite having formally disputed it in writing. 

Synchrony is continuing collections despite receiving notice that this account is disputed. I am requesting immediate cancellation of the remaining balance. Any further collection activity will be treated as knowing financial retaliation under FCBA and FDCPA.
