Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
NOTICE OF ILLEGAL CREDIT INQUIRIES PERFORMED BY SYNCHRONY BANK AND XXXX XXXX ATTN : SYNCHRONY BANK AND XXXX XXXX Synchrony Bank performed two illegal credit inquiries on my credit file with XXXX XXXX between XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. A copy of the most recent unauthorized inquiry is attached in the form of a letter Synchrony sent admitting they illegally checked my credit. 
I never gave Synchrony Bank permission at any time whether oral, written or non verbal to check my credit at any moment without my knowledge or consent. XXXX XXXX I did not give you permission to let Synchrony Bank check my credit without my written knowledge or consent. 
In summary the Fair Credit Reporting Act lists only four permissible purposes for pulling a consumer 's credit report : a firm offer of credit, insurance, an application for employment or a court order. I have attached a copy of the Fair Credit Reporting Act for your convenience. There is nothing in the Fair Credit Reporting Act that gives permission for creditors to perform illegal credit checks under the guise of an " account review. '' Using the attached Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am requesting both Synchrony Bank and XXXX XXXX state which section allows credit checks to be performed without written consent of the consumer. According to 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) - permissible purposes of consumer reports : ( A ) IN GENERAL SUBJECT TO SUBSECTION ( C ), ANY CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY MAY FURNISH A CONSUMER REPORT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES AND NO OTHER : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I am requesting proof that the two illegal inquiries fell under the four permissible categories. I am further exercising my legal right to ask for verification. I am requesting the names and titles of the persons who pulled my credit, the dates they purport that I gave written permission ; and the method they purport that I gave permission. Please provide documentation of said permission. 
In addition XXXX XXXX, I placed a temporary credit freeze on my XXXX XXXX file as I am disputing various inaccuracies. The credit file should not have been released unless I lifted the freeze. These illegal credit inquiries show inaccurate accounts that XXXX XXXX knows are inaccurate. These illegal inquiries resulted in adverse actions including the approximately 10 % reduction of the credit limit on an XXXX store card.

I closed on my primary home located in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX TX XXXX. My original lender is ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) located on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I recievd a notice stating : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX RE : NOTICE OF SERVICING TRANSFER The servicing of your mortgage loan is being transferred, effective XX/XX/2023. This means after this date, a new servicer will be collecting your mortgage loan payments from you. Nothing else about your mortgage loan will change. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is now collecting your payments. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX will stop accepting payments received from you after XX/XX/2023. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX  will collect your mortgage payment going forward. Your new servicer will start accepting payments received from you on XX/XX/2023. Please be advised that any optional insurance or ACH drafting will be cancelled as of the transfer date. You may contact XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX to set up new payment drafts. Please notify any third-party payment agencies or government allotment service of the change in servicer. 
Send all payments due on or after XX/XX/2023 to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX at this address :. 

I Contacted XXXX XXXX services to mail my payment and I was informed that they can't find my file in their system so they will not be able to process any payment. 

XX/XX/XXXX I got a call from a company called BSI Financial Services saying my loan payment is 30days past due, prior to XX/XX/XXXX I didn't get any bill statement from these company or knew they existed. I told the customer service rep I didn't get any letter of acknowledgment from their company and she informed me that they sent the letter to my old address and she informed me that they wouldn't report late payment on my credit report since new account has 60days grace period, it turns out that she lied as my credit just got affected drastically due to them reporting late payment on my report about payment I never received a statement for or knew existed with their company. Company like this take advantage of customers and they need to be brought to compliance. I have attached the letter I got from my first lender and the letter from BSI showing they sent the welcome letter to the wrong address and didn't make any attempt to contact me by phone or anything.
