Complaint narrative:
Recently I've looked over a copy of my consumer report and noticed both accounts and information thats either inaccurate or doesnt belong to me. Ive then reached out to the creditors thats reporting these accounts and asked them to verify any debt. The creditors havent reached out to me with a response, nor did they provide any documentation that verifies this debt. How can they report a debt if they cant verify that it belongs to me? By them purchasing my personal information and sharing it to a third party without my consent is a violation of my right to privacy. I am asking Experian to thoroughly investigate my dispute letter and remove anything that isnt accurate or verifiable. I know that it is their duty to do whats fair and equitable for me as a consumer and report the most accurate information possible. I am aware that Experian must be compliant with all the laws governing consumer rights that they agreed to. The inaccurate information and accounts thats reporting on my consumer report is impeding my ability to obtain financial services or relationships with any potential lender. Included in my complaint is a copy of my consumer report containing the inaccurate information that I asked Experian to block and remove from my consumer report in which this information is both inaccurate and doesnt belong to me.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
XXXX and Paypal and Synchrony Bank dba Paypal Credit offered me various zero-interest credit with a stated credit limit in the amount of {$3900.00}. They have refused to allow me to utilize the line of credit EVERY TIME, despite that the transactions were only for approximately half the total available credit. They avoid being contacted then only via " chat '' messages contained only on their server and point fingers at one another in a circular route. Finally, when confronted with the fact that both Synchrony Bank ( dba Paypal Credit ) and XXXX insist that Paypal is to blame and can fix it, does Paypal admit to blocking every transaction vaguely citing " security reasons '' which they refuse to identify and refusing to provide instructions on how to resolve the alleged " issue ( s ) ''. 
After each new denial of credit, I have contacted Paypal a number of times, each time being required to first contact one or both the other two partners then once pinned down, returning to the same spurious and unspecified " security issues '' I have used XXXX for decades, successfully selling XXXX and other laptop computers and other high-dollar items I no longer needed after buying the newest model as often as every six months without even a single complaint. Over the most recent two years I've made some sales -- again absent of complaints -- but also some purchases. 
The companies haven't notified me by email of ANY issue, security or other, nor have they instructed me as to how to cure the alleged but unnamed issue. 
The no-interest offers keep being made more appealing, from an initial 4-months to 6-months, to 12 months and now 24-months. 
Yet, though they specifically target me, stating my {$3900.00} avaiilable credit, each time I attempt to utilize the established, approved credit line, I am being unfairly denied credit in a set of circumstances where other similarly situtated persons are not being denied.
