Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, 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 XXXX '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.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
Have had cc since XXXX, always paid bills on time. Suddenly card was denied XXXX in the past XXXX hours, once for {$900.00} charge and once for {$480.00}. I called Synchrony Bank to check on reason, was put through a ridiculous amount of 'checking ' to insure it was really me ( I was calling from the phone listed on the account ). Asked for my name XXXX times, address on card, business name on card, last XXXX of social security number. All answered correctly. Then asked for cell phone number, which I supplied. Then I got a text on the cellphone with a link, which I followed. Synchrony wanted me to take a short video of myself for their records, so I tried. But camera in cellphone was not working, tried several times. Finally said this way was not working, so what other way was there for me to prove it was really me...? Only answer from them was they would mail me a code, which would take XXXX - XXXX days to arrive. In the meantime they refused to discuss the account and I could not determine the problem. Both my account and my wife '' s are being refused for charges. We use this card as our primary credit card.
