Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint against Synchrony Bank regarding the continued reporting of negative information for my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( Account Ending in XXXX ) despite verified hardship from XXXX XXXX in XXXX. 

I reside in XXXX, Georgia ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), which was part of the area officially designated as a federally declared disaster zone due to Hurricane XXXX in late XX/XX/XXXX. My home was partially destroyed in the disaster, and I experienced severe financial hardship as a result. 

Prior to the hurricane, I was already managing ongoing financial difficulty. I was working to catch up on obligations when the hurricane caused significant new setbacks and expenses. I contacted Synchrony Bank and submitted documentation confirming that XXXX XXXX XXXX was included in the XXXX disaster declaration. 

In response ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX acknowledged my situation and expressed sympathy but refused to adjust or delete the tradeline. They stated they are obligated to report accurate payment history under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), but made no accommodations, offered no relief, and provided no program for hardship support. 

I spoke with several customer service representatives during this process. While no one was overtly disrespectful, the overall tone and process felt dismissive. It was made clear that no help would be offered despite the circumstances. 

I am requesting that Synchrony Bank either : -Remove all negative payment history related to the disaster period, or -Delete the tradeline entirely from my credit report. 

The damage to my credit score continues, even though this hardship was the result of a federally declared disaster that damaged my home and disrupted my life. 

I have attached : -Synchronys written response letter ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) -FEMA documentation confirming XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of the disaster declaration for Hurricane XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
