Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Bank failed to conduct a reasonable investigation of a billing dispute in violation of 12 CFR 1026.13 and unfairly chose to uphold an off-market return policy, instead of heeding the words of the Massachusetts Attorney General, in violation of the CFPA 's prohibition on unfair acts or practices.

As background, I purchased an item from XXXX XXXX using my Synchrony Bank PayPal Cashback Mastercard. I realized after purchase that the item was visually defective and tried to return the unopened item just a few days after XXXX XXXX 's off-market 15-day return policy. After exhausting my options trying to resolve the issue with XXXX XXXX, visiting multiple retail locations and calling their apathetic and ineffective customer service, XXXX XXXX refused the return, so I disputed the charge with Synchrony Bank. 

Synchrony Bank denied my dispute, so I filed a second dispute providing additional evidence, including ( XXXX ) language from the Massachusetts Attorney General 's website which states, " Defective merchandise must be accepted for return, regardless of any policy '' ( https : //www.mass.gov/guides/a-massachusetts-consumer-guide-to-shopping-rights ) and ( XXXX ) images of the defects, comparing the item I received to a stock photo of the item. Despite this, Synchrony Bank ignored the law and again denied my dispute, choosing instead to uphold XXXX XXXX 's return policy over Massachusetts law. 

I submitted a third dispute which Synchrony Bank most recently denied.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This to formally lodge a complaint concerning the improper handling of my credit information by the major credit bureauEquifax. Specifically, my complaint pertains to a collection and a credit card account that has been fraudulently reported and is improperly retained on my credit report despite my efforts to rectify the matter. 
Account name/number : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I am not liable to any debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX I did not contract with XXXX XXXX  and they did not provide original documents as requested. 
Account name/number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX From fraudulent use of my personal identification and more damaging from the inaccuracies showing across my consumer report from different credit bureaus. 
The accounts in question was reported as a result of identity theft, and I have provided the necessary documentation to support my claim of fraud. Despite this, the accounts remains on my credit report, negatively impacting my credit score and financial standing. This situation is in clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which is designed to protect consumers against inaccuracies in credit reporting and to ensure the proper handling and deletion of fraudulent information. 
The FCRA mandates the following : Accuracy and Integrity ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : Credit reporting agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information they report. The retention of this fraudulent account clearly fails to meet this standard. 
Dispute Resolution ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) : When a consumer disputes the accuracy of information on their credit report, the credit reporting agency is obligated to investigate the dispute and make necessary corrections. I have disputed this account multiple times, but the fraudulent information remains unresolved on my report. 
The continued presence of this incorrect information on my credit report is not only unjust but also harmful to my financial health and reputation. I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to investigate this matter and ensure that the credit bureaus comply with their obligations under the FCRA.
