Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my car was stolen. All my personal information was in my card including my driver 's license, my unlocked cell phone, XXXX, and medical information. In XX/XX/XXXX someone opened an account in my name with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I reached out to XXXX and disputed the account and mailed in my ssn card, birth certificate, copy of the police report, and other requested documents to confirm my name and identity. I've filed several disputes with XXXX regarding this. I've also tried to resolve this directly with the company. However, since my name is incorrect on the account, I was not able to get information from the creditor. I have submitted yet another dispute by phone and by webpage concerning this. This account does not belong to me. This account does not have the correct name on file. XXXX only updated my name on my credit report but did nothing else concerning the fraudulent account opening. I mailed many documents, but when I check on them and provide tracking information, they claim to not have received my documentation.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, Trans Union and XXXX Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I recently noticed that my credit report contains errors. I take pride in my ability to pay back my debts, and the XXXX marks do not reflect my creditworthiness. It would help me immensely if you could make a goodwill adjustment to remove the closed account as well as remove the inaccurate accounts from my record, as it does not reflect my current ability to pay. Im hoping you are willing to give me a second chance at a positive credit rating given my financial status and renewed good standing with my account. 

Unverifiable information : XXXX XXXX XXXX Last reported XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$190.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  Last reported XX/XX/XXXX {$100.00} Closed : XXXXXXXX XXXX  : Closed the account They have never sent a validation letter, I have asked multiple times and now they are just holding me, XXXX, without proof that this account is attached to me. That is a violation of my rights with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) I feel they are Willfully hitting the FCRA Violations These are the more serious violations because it means the agency, business or individual was aware of their actions. It is causing harm to my personal life as I am trying to buy a home for my family and causing harm to my business life due to the fact most cards deal with p.g 's, but went ahead and did them anyway. Sadly, I was denied because of these 3 accounts. 

These companies are actually and knowingly causing Actual damages, Statutory damages and Punitive damages to my life.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony bank has been illegally obtaining customers credit reports/data without permission to make adverse credit decisions on accounts in GOOD standing with no issues. 

I had a perfectly fine account closed by Synchrony bank. No late payments, no issues, just closed. First was the Mattress Firm XXXX, they sent me a letter similar to the one you will see for my Lowes account, which they JUST lowered my credit line for NO reason. But illegally obtained information I did not authorize them to have aka My credit report. 

This has happen before, and I currently bank with : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and more, and Synchrony is the ONLY business doing this. Please read my letter, and see for yourself if you believe this is something a US based company should be doing. I didn't authorize them to check my credit, at the worst time of the year, of course my score is low only due to credit utilization. No late payments, no other information on my credit report is horrible, which I will provide to CFPB if needed to prove this is not only illegal in action by Synchrony but completely Unjustifiable.

Company: Avant Holding Company, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I opened a credit card with Avant Card in XX/XX/XXXX and decided to close it in XX/XX/XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX I closed the account, they said the balance was {$130.00} and I paid it right on the spot so it was paid in full and closed. I never heard from them again. 
Now on XXXX XXXX Avant went and posted a XXXX delinquent on my credit report for {$4.00} this bringing my XXXX credit score down XXXX points, I called them and their answer was after it closed there was small interest due, I told them once I paid you in full and you closed the account you can't go ahead and add interest on a closed account. Now this was closed in XX/XX/XXXX and they just posted this on my credit in XX/XX/XXXX. I am right in the middle of getting a mortgage and if they don't clear this error off my report I will lose the funding, lose the house we are purchasing and ready to close on and have a heap of trouble with the people we are selling our home to, all of this because of a {$4.00} error on their part that they don't want to take responsibility for. I need help or I'm going to lose the houses and thousands of dollars. 

Thank You

As they did not notify me of them providing my info to this credit Bureaus I do not consent for them to share my personal information.

I contacted the courthouse to verify their information release policy. The court informed me that they do not provide anyone with a debtors full social security number and they do not provide ANY credit bureau ANY information about ANY bankruptcy cases. I have included a copy of the response from the courthouse for your reference. It is quite clear that someone from ( experian ) .lied about verifying this bankruptcy with the courthouses as they collect their information from a third party and that is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As you know, it is also a violation of the FCRA to report inaccurate or unverifiable information on a credit report. Thus, I demand that you IMMEDIATELY REMOVE the following bankruptcy from my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Please respond to me in writing once this removal has been completed.
