Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX erroneously reported that I was 30 days late in XXXX. I called XXXX  and was told that I was not 30 days late and that they were unsure why its being reported that way. They advised me to dispute it. I submitted a dispute with EXPERIAN and submitted my credit statements showing that is incorrect and I just received a determination adjusting the 30 day late from XXXX to XXXX today is XX/XX/XXXX, so that is impossible!!! In fact, my credit statement shows that my due date is XXXX and that the minimum payment has ALREADY BEEN MADE. I need this corrected as soon as possible. 

And while Im at it this company had started charging a yearly fee and monthly fees this year and I never agreed to it. Those were not a part of the agreement.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear SYNCB/CARECR, I am writing to address the blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri Revised Statutes ( RSMo ) Sections 570.223 and 407.020, which govern identity theft and fraudulent credit practices. 

It has unequivocally come to my attention that SYNCB/CARECR has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that consumer consent is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

Additionally, Missouri law, specifically under RSMo Section 570.223, emphasizes the serious consequences of identity theft and fraudulent use of personal information. Furthermore, RSMo Section 407.020 prohibits deceptive practices, which include the unauthorized reporting of credit information without the consumer 's consent.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for SYNCB/CARECR to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and a complete disregard for both federal and state laws.

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that SYNCB/CARECR immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and RSMo Sections 570.223 and 407.020. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including Missouri identity theft statutes.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that SYNCB/CARECR will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.
