Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding the inaccurate credit reporting of my PayPal Credit account managed by Synchrony Bank ( SYNCB/PPC ). The account shows a status of " Derogatory '' on my credit report, despite having a {$0.00} balance and being closed on XX/XX/ 2024. The last payment was made on XX/XX/2024, and there have been no missed or late payments since that time.

Additionally, the account is reflecting a remark related to XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy, which is incorrect and misleading. This account was paid in full and closed, and it should reflect a " Closed Paid as Agreed '' or similar non-derogatory status.

The continued reporting of this account as derogatory is having a negative impact on my credit score and does not reflect the true payment history or current standing of the account.

I respectfully request that Synchrony Bank and the credit reporting agencies update the status to accurately reflect the account as " Closed '' with a {$0.00} balance and remove any derogatory remarks that are not applicable to this account.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against Equifax for Unauthorized Blocking of Credit Report and Unlawful Documentation Demand I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Equifax Information Services, LLC for unlawfully restricting access to my credit report without my authorization or knowledge, and for subsequently demanding highly sensitive personal documents in order to remedy their own internal error. 

On multiple occasions, I contacted Equifax to determine why third parties were unable to access my credit report. Each time, I was told that there was no fraud alert, freeze, or block placed on my file. Despite these repeated assurances, my credit report remained inaccessible to creditors and other authorized users. 

On my most recent call with Equifax, I was informedfor the first timethat Equifax had, in fact, blocked access to my credit file without notifying me or obtaining my consent. This action constitutes an unauthorized interference with my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under : 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible purposes for accessing consumer reports ; 15 U.S.C. 1681c-1 & 1681c-2 Governing fraud alerts, active duty alerts, and freezes ; and 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Requiring consumer reporting agencies to reinvestigate disputes and ensure accuracy. 

To correct this unauthorized block, Equifax is now demanding that I mail in a copy of my Social Security card, which exposes me to heightened risk of identity theft. I never authorized the block in the first place, and now I am being asked to send highly sensitive identification documents through insecure channels to correct a mistake Equifax itself caused. 

I am deeply concerned about the following : Equifax 's failure to notify me of placing a block on my credit report. 

The denial of my rights as a consumer to control access to my own credit file. 

The unsecure and excessive demand for sensitive personal documents as a condition for restoring access. 

The potential economic harm I am now facin

g as a result of being unable to obtain credit or have creditworthiness verified due to Equifaxs misconduct. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau immediately investigate Equifaxs unauthorized actions and co
mpel them to : Provide a written explanation of how and why this block was placed without my consent ; Remove the block from my credit file without further delay or unreasonable documentation requirements ; Provide assurances that this will not recur and that appropriate notice will be provided in the future ; Confirm compliance with all FCRA notice and access obligations.

I respectfully request prompt enforcement action if Equifax is found to be in violation of the FCRA.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
I take my credit seriously, just like anyone else, and the fact that there are still errors on my report is unacceptable. These inaccurate items are in pending litigation because of the way they were carelessly reported. Because they are in a pending litigation, you will not be able to verify what the disputed errors are and therefore these items need to be deleted under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ). They have directly harmed my financial opportunities and taken a real toll on my mental health. My credit report should only reflect accurate information, which is why its important all data is verified. I expect my credit report to reflect only accurate, verified informationnothing less. This needs to be corrected immediately.

State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Several fraudulent and inaccurate accounts are appearing on my XXXX  and XXXX  credit reports, despite being previously disputed and reported as identity theft with supporting documentation. These accounts were also reported to the FTC via identity theft affidavit, and per FCRA 605B, they should not be reported or reinserted. The accounts in question include :
Genesis Credit Management LLC {$12000.00} ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX {$870.00} ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX {$2100.00} ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$120.00} ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) XXXX XXXX {$160.00} ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) Columbia Debt Recovery Duplicate of Genesis ( Opened XX/XX/XXXX ) These entries were not authorized by me, were never validated properly, and are damaging my credit profile. I submitted disputes with each bureau and included identity theft affidavits and documentation showing these debts are fraudulent. Some accounts are even being reported twice under different names, violating FCRA 607 ( b ). Remarks such as dispute resolved by grantor are falsely closing these disputes without proper investigation.

These agencies are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and FTC identity theft guidelines by continuing to report these accounts and failing to delete them after lawful disputes.
