Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : I am a victim of identity theft. The information listed below, which appears on my credit report, does not relate to any transaction ( s ) that I have made. It is the result of identity theft. 
The fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit report are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. 
I sent a request to Experian to have all of the incorrect information removed from my credit report, Pursuant to section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

This is hurting me and my family massively.

Please make Experian comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and remove incorrect information as the result of Identity theft from my credit file. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, and await your reply. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have persistently tried to rectify an unauthorized account linked to XXXX XXXX on my credit report over several months. Despite my numerous communications through phone calls and letters the issue remains unresolved. This erroneous account has substantially affected my credit score, hindering my ability to purchase a home. 

It's distressing to feel disregarded by such a large institution. I now turn to the CFPB, hoping they can address this significant oversight, as my efforts with XXXXXXXX XXXX  have been met with silence. Their seeming indifference to such a crucial error is alarming, and I believe the CFPB may be my last resort to rectify this situation.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have received an updated letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX in regard to the Synchrony Bank/Paypal account , with an updated balance. Previously I have been disputing the amount of the interest that was reflected on the collection notices without explanation or any statements provided. This interest had been added after the account was charged off, the dispute lasted over 6 months and I have not involved CFPB. During the dispute, Synchrony Bank/Paypal and XXXX cashed half of the checks that I kept sending every month and the other half was not cashed. 
However, XXXX and Synchrony Bank/Paypal in the updated letter increased the balance owed. 
After almost a year of complaints and disputes, the interest of {$400.00} that was charged illegally has finally been removed from the balance owed. 
Now they are showing that the amount paid off to this date is slightly over {$500.00}, how is it possible if their own statement from XX/XX/22 a year back showed a balance paid to date of {$780.00}? Yes, back then it was also showing an interest of {$400.00} as a part of the amount owed and that was reflected in the higher amount owed. Now, after the interest was removed and I made payments along the time they reviewed the dispute, the balance owed decreased drastically. But, no!!! 
I have copies of the cashed checks by Paypal/Synchrony Bank for XX/XX/22, XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22,XX/XX/22 all in the amount of {$50.00} which totals {$250.00}, I also mailed 4 other checks but during the previous dispute they were never cashed and I had to stop payment on them. Using the following numbers of the previous statements provided, if the balance owed is {$2500.00} and interest of {$400.00} is taken away, it would make the amount owed {$2100.00} then minus the cashed checks listed above in the amount of {$250.00}, it should bring the amount presently owed to {$1800.00}. It seems they are trying to remove the disputed interest, which they can't explain, from the statement visually but quietly adding it to the amount owed on purpose to collect more. Isn't it a violation of the FDCPA? Please I have reached out multiple times offering to settle this debt, but neither XXXX nor Synchrony Bank/Paypal are cooperative, and there is always that is done to increase the amount owed, missing payments, an interest without proper explanation or statements provided showing how it was calculated, inaccuracies that when I am trying to bring them to their attention or asking to review takes months or responded in formal, ordinary letters saying that no error was found which is exhausting and simply disrespectful, unfair and harassing.
