Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
We made a purchase on a store card XX/XX/XXXX with insurance for the items. We made an insurance claim XX/XX/XXXX and paid the insurance deductible of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. We made an instore purchase shortly after using the insurance credit at the store. The store manager was unsure how to use the insurance credit but told us they will figure it out. In XX/XX/XXXX the chair was delivered and we were charged XXXX on our store card instead of the insurance credit. We called the store XX/XX/XXXX and the store associate said they saw it should have gone to the insurance credit and will have the store manager call us. The store manager never called us, we called the store manager XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX with no luck. The store manager kept ducking us. We then disputed the charge on mysynchrony. They denied our dispute stating the purchased items arrived at our house. They did not provide any further information or a receipt. We never authorize a charge for this on the store card.

Complaint narrative:
I have been sending uncountable letters appealing to Experian to confirm the disputed account and take out them if unable to show that the account is mine. I have been a victim of Identity Theft and the items I am disputing do not narrate to any business that I have made or approved. Neither did I obtain any ownership of goods, money, services, nor profits from the Theft of my Identity. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) that alleges an identity theft ; ) B ) that is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) the filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) The following report included this language but Experian is neglecting to process it to the letter of the law. Please see they are held accountable for as this is impacting my life in emotionally, physically & financially... and I would truly not what to pursue a legal remedy... I need the account removed now!
