Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In my last letter, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute a negative item on my credit report that I believe is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As a consumer, I believe that my rights under the FCRA have been violated. 
According to the provisions of the FCRA, consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from including negative information in a consumer report unless the information is complete and up-to-date. The reported late payment on my credit report is inaccurate and in violation of the FCRA, as it does not meet the requirements of 15 U.S.C.

1681b ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), which states that consumer reports may not be furnished for employment purposes unless the consumer has given written permission. 
In light of these provisions, I respectfully request that you conduct an investigation into this matter and take the necessary steps to correct the error. If it is determined that the negative item is indeed inaccurate, I ask that you remove it from my credit report promptly. 
Please Fix these items, date, amounts update information to paid as agreed Accounts XXXX Account # XXXX These Late payments dates XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX I received a invitation offer by email from XXXX XXXX XXXX to apply for a Credit Card with no impact to my XXXX XXXX if I'm declined*. I was hesitant and decided to call the number listed to confirm XXXX and was reassured that that info was indeed correct it was only a soft inquiry and no impact would occur to my XXXX XXXX ( which later turns out is a false/deceitful statement ). After getting off the phone I apply and get the we'll contact you message about this card. I then start thinking I really don't need this card as its redundant to another to my XXXX  Rewards card that offers cash back on XXXX. I call with in a minute to call XXXX XXXX  that I want my application withdrawn they said it looked like my application was accepted but with another department and that they would relay the word about my withdrawal. 

Late overnight I was awaking my email notifications stating there was a change in my credit report and that I had opened a account with Synchrony Bank ( SYNCB/XXXX  ) XXXX 
The following day I called and spoke to the Synchrony Bank about what had happened and was assured it would be taken care of the account that was opened would be closed and any inquiries would be removed. I was told a letter would be sent to the credit reporting agencies and myself as well as a mail correspondence one correcting the issue and as confirmation of action of letter to the Credit Bureaus. As a result I froze my Credit Accounts to prevent any unauthorized inquiries to the other Credit Reporting Agencies such as XXXX and XXXX. I went back to the application to see if I could cancel and it stated congrats I was approved I had email confirmation about using the electronic card while I waited for it to be mailed. 

I received XXXX conflicting pieces of mail correspondence on XX/XX/2023 from Synchrony Bank stating that they could not approve me for a XXXX XXXX XXXX Account because my Credit Reports were frozen and another stating the inquiry was valid. So in XXXX instance they said my account wasn't approved because of no access to my Credit Report ( yet I have a inquiry which is unauthorized ) and on top of it I took a hit to my score as a result of the inquiry and unauthorized account being listed on a XXXX credit bureaus. In the next letter they say they say I have a account and am a XXXX customer even though I told them I didn't want the card immediately and after finding out they had opened a account I told them to close it as it wasn't with my consent. They said they would over the phone. I'm upset about their shady practices. I want this unauthorized inquiry removed and confirmation the account was closed per my phone calls with them ASAP.
