Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
I appreciate you taking the time to CORRECT some of the information in my credit file ; however, there is still account that need to be UPDATED. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require the Transunion Credit Bureau to validate this account ( A ). I hope this disputed account is updated.

I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to update the account. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not update the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the dispute letter is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the dispute letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy ... as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly UPDATE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the account listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the company directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT? I believe you have not verified this account based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Got a letter in the mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying I owe and they are collecting for synchrony bank. I called and reported a fraud claim because I never bought anything from the company they are claiming the debt came from. I called again because who ever opened this account used my maiden name and when I tried to get in the account online with the information on the paper I got in the mail I had to use my last XXXX numbers of my social and when I put them in it didnt recognize them. So I called synchrony bank and they passed me around and couldnt even find an account. Then said they found my account but none of the information matched the paper from the debt collector. So an hour of no one telling me anything or helping me they hung up on me. Now I am writing to you.

Since XX/XX/XXXX I've contact XXXX, equifax, and XXXX about someone stealing my credit card information when I was XXXX  from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I've talked to all XXXX credit services to no avail at least XXXX times a piece since XX/XX/XXXX and nothing on my credit report is changing. All they keep doing is having me do another dispute every 30 days which keeps coming back saying the information is valid. 

How is this information valid when I 1st mailed my XXXX papers thru certified mail that was receive on XX/XX/XXXX by all XXXX companies then they act like they didn't receive the certified mail so I uploaded my XXXX papers and faxed each company separately Which literally has done nothing. 

On my credit report it clearly shows all purchases and late activity happened at least 6 months to a year after I was XXXX 

With this document I'm resending my XXXX papers The XXXX account stating I owe {$9100.00} The account stating I owe XXXX XXXX {$7900.00} The account stating I owe XXXX XXXX {$7900.00} All should be erased from my credit report Furthermore, i've never even done business with XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased my account from XXXX / XXXX XXXX. Even though I never made these purchases however even if I did I never did business with XXXX XXXX  so that should never be on my credit report. 

This situation been way over 30 days in fact I've already had XXXX different disputes with all XXXX credit reporting companies and nothing has happened
