Complaint narrative:
Dear SYNCB/NTWK ; There are different balances reporting across all the major credit bureaus. Some are reporting {$0.00} balance, and the others reporting {$1100.00} and {$4700.00}. Obviously this is invalid, inaccurate and in violations of my rights. plus i think this account is fraudulent and i have no knowledge of such account. I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of an alleged debt from my credit report, which I believe to be fraudulent. I have no knowledge of this account and have never entered into any contractual obligations with your company or the original creditor. 
The reporting inaccuracies concerning this account violate both FCRA and FDCPA regulations. To resolve this matter expeditiously, I require the following documentation : XXXX. Evidence of your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) for handling this matter. 
XXXX. Legal basis for the collection of this debt. 
XXXX. Proof of your authorization to operate in my state. 
XXXX. Evidence of the alleged debt, including any contracts or agreements bearing my signature. 
XXXX. Complete account history, inclusive of all collection-related charges. 
I am formally filing a complaint citing violations of my consumer rights under the FCRA and FDCPA. Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 602 ( a ), I demand immediate cessation of all communication and collection activities related to this account. Furthermore, per 15 U.S.C. 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), no account can be furnished without my written instructions. 
Your actions have infringed upon my rights under several sections of the FDCPA : * 1692d : Harassment or abuse in connection with debt collection. 
* 1692e : Use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations. 
* 1692g ( b ) : Failure to properly disclose my rights.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
My account with was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Kohl 's closed my credit card account without any prior notification, which I only discovered on XX/XX/year>, through XXXX XXXX. Despite this, their website still allows me to log in and view my account, with no indication that it is inactive. I then contacted customer service, the representative initially stated that my account was closed due to missed payments, despite the fact that I had no balance. After I pointed this out, she retracted her statement and attributed the closure to inactivity. I then requested to speak with her supervisor, which took approximately 10 minutes. When connected, the supervisor claimed she couldnt hear me, despite clearly pausing when I spoke and not disconnecting the call. The representatives repeatedly suggested I reapply for a new card. I believe my account was closed unethically and that this decision was driven by their focus on acquiring new business. This action has had a negative impact on my credit score, and I feel discriminated against.
