Consumer complaint received 2025-07-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am requesting an investigation into Synchrony Bank who services the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as the Amazon store card. I had been a long standing customer with them with an excellent payment record, however ; they elected to reduce my credit limits with no advance notification. While I understand this may be allowed per their CMA, I believe they should be required to give sufgicient advance notice of any adverse action. They reduced the credit limit to an amt that appeared as if I had used 97 % of my credit line, which was not the true case. I went from {$3200.00} crdt line with approx {$2100.00} available crdt to {$1200.00} crdt line with available credit of {$45.00} to cover the interest that would be billed. 

The last change in terms was on the XX/XX/year> billing statement and was regarding APR changes & fees I ended up closing the account and paying off the XXXX 's XXXX. I have since closed the amazon store card and have a payoff going to it as well. While i understand that they fear my loans with balances make me a risk to their bank, though I've done nothing to be a risk to them. I have in fact paid the card off a few times. The tactics used have a huge negative impact on XXXX and should not be allowed. I'm sure I'm not the only person whose crdt score has been impacted due to this same practice.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent.

The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax and TransUnion regarding their continued reporting of two disputed accounts that have already been removed by XXXX  due to an inability to verify the debts. Despite multiple disputes and requests for validation, both bureaus continue to report these accounts without providing any supporting documentation as required by law. 

The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX of Mississippi Account Number : XXXX These accounts were deleted by XXXX  after a proper investigation, which determined they could not be validated. However, Equifax and TransUnion continue to list them as verified despite never providing : A copy of the assignment contract, The original signed agreement, Any documentation explaining the amount owed, Or a breakdown of how the debt was calculated. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to obtain all information in my file and all details used to verify disputed information.

611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires the credit bureaus to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and remove any item that can not be verified. 
To date, Equifax and TransUnion have failed to meet these legal obligations. Their continued reporting of these unverifiable debts is damaging my credit and financial opportunities. 

I am demanding that these accounts be permanently removed from my credit reports. If they are not removed, I intend to pursue legal action against the responsible parties for violations of the FCRA and any applicable state consumer protection laws. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure full compliance with federal law.

I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXVERIFIED AS REPORTED, has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.
