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 account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

CHASE claim number : XXXX The bank itself tells me that they have identified the recipient as : XXXX XXXX XXXX and even the terminal from which the transfers were made : XXXX Despite the fact that they have so much information and that they are notified THE SAME DAY that one of the last transfers is made, they do not lift a finger to refund any of the money.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I received a hot water heater installation by a third party partnering with Lowes ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX. Additional parts not provided were included and I was coerced to sign and swipe my Lowes card at a higher amount to complete the installation because the initial quote that was given was different and not provided until the old hot water heater was removed and the new one installed.

After trying to resolve with Lowes throughout late XXXX and early XXXX, I filed a dispute for goods and services not received on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX bank, Synchrony. I was called by a representative from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and was eventually threatened during that phone call to drop the dispute. I uploaded supporting documentation of that call along with additional documentation via an XXXX XXXX of email confirmations that Synchrony sent to confirm receipt of documents by Synchrony on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX. 

I was informed by Synchrony that the dispute was resolved in favor of XXXX on XXXX. I called to speak with a Synchrony dispute representative and the manager confirmed Synchrony did not receive the documents despite the audit trail confirmation. He reopened the dispute and committed to locating the documents and Synchrony reaching out to me if they needed to be reuploaded by me. Nobody reached out. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, Synchrony closed the dispute a second time in favor of the merchant and told me to resolve it with the merchant directly, which I dont feel comfortable with after the threat. I called to speak with a manager in the dispute department and I was told they would reopen but they continued to reiterate that they hadnt received the documents despite the email receipts I have. I told them I would open the CFPB complaint about how this has been handled and they told me to do it and that the dispute would likely still not be resolved in my favor because they dont believe I didnt receive the goods/parts not provided or needed. They called it quality but one of the parts is one I installed on my own because it wasnt installed that day. So I dont understand how I can still have to go through the pain and suffering of trying to resolve with a merchant that is scammy, has an F rating on the XXXX, and my bank is gaslighting me saying they didnt receive documents despite sending me receipts that they did.
