Complaint narrative:
I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

This matter is causing significant concern, as my credit history is being unjustly damaged by information that is neither accurate nor reflective of my true financial activities.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2024 XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting Under FCRA Dear XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of my account with your company, as it pertains to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). This section clearly states that a person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

I would like to bring to your attention XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I understand is associated with this account, can not collect on a discharged debt. This debt is now considered a certificate of indebtedness per the IRS, and it is my understanding that income associated with this charge-off can not be reported as it is defined as gross or ordinary income by the IRS.

As such, the reporting of this account on my consumer report is inaccurate and misleading. According to IRS guidelines, income derived from a charge-off should not appear on a consumer report, and therefore, I am requesting that you review this situation and correct the information you have provided to the consumer reporting agencies.

I kindly ask that you take immediate action to ensure that my credit report is accurate and free from misinformation. I would appreciate email confirmation of your findings and any actions taken in response to this dispute. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift response. 

Sincerely,

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I returned XXXX products that I purchased online and was to receive a full credit card refund, XXXX for {$1900.00} in XXXX and the second for {$2000.00} in XX/XX/2023. 

The merchant required I mailed them back in XXXX different boxes which I did, with USPS tracking. When I did not receive timely credit refund I contacted both to figure out why it had not been credited, as the merchant said it would be. I made a min payments ( over {$100.00} ) to keep my account in good standing, as I was told it would take few to several months to get sorted out. 

I would check out what was happening about once I month and would request what has happening and to be contacted in writing. 

Now a year later only 2 of the boxes have been credited. The last box not credited is approximately {$400.00}. I have not received anything other than your balance is due and interest and late fees are being adding. As of today the current balance is {$610.00} and late fees and interest being charged. Along with late payments being reported on my credit report. 

I am clueless what to do at this point. Can you please figure this out? The reason you use and pay fees to your credit card is to protect you from this. They have the proof it was returned and received by the merchant. So why did I only get XXXX of the XXXX refunds? All three should be refunded and {$100.00}, I paid be refunded to me. In addition, all late payment reports be removed from my credit report. I never received any thing in writing from this about this issue, so I can not provide you with anything other than billing statements.
