State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of XXXX year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted TRANSUNION multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than XXXX  days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I was charged approximately {$3800.00} in deferred interest, plus additional accrued interest, after a promotional financing period on my CareCredit account expired on XX/XX/year>. 

Although I understand the promotion technically expired on XX/XX/XXXX, I did not realize this until late XXXX. As soon as I became aware, I acted immediately to resolve the situation by arranging to pay the entire balance of {$7500.00} in full via a balance transfer from another credit card. The transfer was initiated on XX/XX/year> and posted to my CareCredit account on XX/XX/year>. 

Before the payment, I contacted Synchrony via customer service chat in late XXXX and was told I would be granted an extension through XX/XX/XXXX, with a note added to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called to confirm the extension and explained that balance transfers can take XXXX to XXXX business days, sometimes longer if the sending account is new. I asked that this be documented on my account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I followed up to request a short additional extension through XX/XX/XXXX, since the payment was already in process. I was told no additional extensions could be granted but was advised to call back after XX/XX/XXXX to try to resolve it. 

The payment posted on XX/XX/XXXX, only XXXX  days after the extended deadline. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again and spoke with several Account Managers, but was told there would be no further review or escalation, despite my clear communication, documentation, and full payment. 

The slight delay in payment posting was caused solely by standard interbank processing times, not by avoidance, neglect, or failure to act. I have been a loyal and responsible Synchrony customer for years, with multiple credit cards, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit ( CDs ) across your platform. I have consistently paid on time and managed my accounts responsibly. I respectfully believe that imposing nearly {$4000.00} in interest on a fully paid account due to a minor, well-documented timing issue is excessive and unfair. 

Im requesting that the deferred interest charges be removed as a one-time courtesy adjustment, given that I acted promptly and in good faith, paid the full amount, and communicated transparently throughout the process.

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/25 I applied for a load from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/25 I receive a notification that my loan was denied. I called XXXX and asked why. XXXX said that they pulled credit report from Experian that this credit report shows a score in the XXXX and a credit history with only XXXX installment account from XXXX. 

I immediately pulled up my credit report from Experian and I see a credit score of XXXX in front of me. I also see my full credit history with my student loans, my previous car instalment loan, and all my credit cards. 

I called Experian, they confirm that what I see matches what they see for me. The agent looked into it and said there was an error on their end that somehow split my information. However I have NEVER had a loan from XXXX. They were not able to provide further explanation. they gave me a ticket number and when I tried to escalate the issue because it did take me XXXX tries to try to reach a human over the phone they said they would disconnect. 

It is absolutely unacceptable that Experian hold my data and the key to my financial future in their hands and is reckless with it. Also, not being able to reach a human on the phone for a company that holds my credit and financial data is unacceptable. They need to answer for their reckless actions.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate personal information currently listed on my credit report. Upon reviewing my report, I found incorrect details under my personal profile, such as outdated or unfamiliar names, addresses, phone numbers, and/or employment history. 
I have not used or been associated with some of the information listed, and the presence of these inaccuracies could result in misidentification, confusion with other individuals, or even potential fraud. I have already submitted requests for correction and provided documents to verify my true and current information, yet the errors remain unresolved. 
These inaccuracies are not only misleading but could also impact future credit decisions. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to ensure that all personal information in my credit report is accurate and up to date.
