Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I had a {$10000.00} balance on my Lowes ( Synchrony Bank ) Credit card. 

I paid {$5000.00} through their online system on XX/XX/XXXX. I filled in all of the requested information and no where on their online system did it ask if this was a checking or savings.The {$5000.00} was rejected and I was notified a week later. I reached out to my XXXX XXXX and they stated the system put it through as Checking and this is why it was declined. 

After hearing this, I immediately called Synchrony Bank and spoke with a human being to explain that I would like to pay my whole {$10000.00} balance and it was a savings account. I verified the gentleman multiple times that it is a savings account and he reassured me that is ok and requested the account information. 

A week later I received notification that it was declined again. At this time I paid from my XXXX XXXX  XXXX account {$10000.00} so I did not have to deal with Synchrony 's internal issue regarding the difference between Savings and Checking. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stating my account has been closed due to [ Activity on account with Synchrony Bank indicative of high risk of failure to pay. ] I immediately called Synchrony Bank and spoke to employee # XXXX. I explained the situation and she placed me on hold and spoke with her supervisor. She came back onto the phone and stated due to a credit change, Synchrony Bank has made this decision. I explained to her that I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX and this is not possible. I requested more details and was given the Synchrony customer service number again. ( She stated it was their dispute department which does not exist ) I spoke with employee # XXXX named XXXX. She had a very hard time understanding my issue. I explained it numerous times and she stated she was unable to reactivate my card. This was clearly not my concern/issue. 

She transferred me to employee # XXXX. I explained everything again and she stated she documented it. I gave her all of the details but she was unable to assist and only document things. 

This is why I came here to report this. This agency was listed on the back of the notice. I am hoping for assistance from you since this is a mistake made by Synchrony and I do not want it to disrupt my credit score.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Complaint Against Equifax Information Services Dear CFPB and FTC, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Equifax Information Services for multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and for infringing upon my privacy rights. My specific concern involves inaccurate information that Equifax has furnished regarding my account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which ends in XXXX. 

Despite disputing this inaccurate account for over four years, Equifax continues to assert that this account is verified, which is untrue. I have confirmed with XXXX XXXX XXXX that my information has been opted out of sharing with non-affiliated third-party companies. This means that Equifax should not have any basis to verify this account as accurate. For your reference, you may contact XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX to confirm this information. 

In addition, I am including a transcript of my conversation with XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding this matter, as well as all correspondence from Equifax that demonstrates their stall tactics and claims of being unable to locate my credit file. 

The violations I am reporting include, but are not limited to : 1. Furnishing inaccurate information.

2. Failing to conduct a reasonable investigation into my disputes.

3. Infringing on my privacy rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Given the severity of these violations, I request that this inaccurate account be removed from my credit report immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt action.

Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
