Consumer complaint received 2024-03-10 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: UNITED STATES MINOR OUTLYING ISLANDS

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I have discovered that the last activity date on the aforementioned account has been continuously manipulated, presumably by your company, in an attempt to prolong its appearance on my credit report. This practice is not only highly unethical but also constitutes a clear violation of regulatory standards governing credit reporting. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605 ( c ), the maximum period for which negative information, such as a charged-off account, can remain on a consumer 's credit report is seven years from the date of the first delinquency leading to the charge-off. Any attempt to artificially extend this timeframe through falsification of last activity dates is a direct violation of the FCRA.

This is a violation. If in fact you believe you gave me proper notice, then please send me the certified receipt with my legal name on it and my signature.

Consumer complaint received 2024-03-10 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Velocity Portfolio Group
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
1. Debt Validation Needed : I've yet to receive comprehensive validation for the alleged debt, as required under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ). Understanding the specifics of this debt is crucial for me, including the amount and any documentation linking it directly to me. 
2. Documentation on Debt Ownership : Could you please provide the purchase agreement between your agency and the original creditor? This request is based on my right to see proof of your authority to collect this debt, ensuring transparency and compliance with legal standards. 
3. Proof of Licensing and Bonding : In the spirit of due diligence, I ask for evidence of your agency 's licensing and bonding to operate within my state. This requirement, aiming to protect consumers, aligns with general legal expectations for debt collection practices. 
4. Missed Opportunity to Dispute : Addressing a critical issue, it's concerning that I was never provided the opportunity to dispute the alleged debt, as protected under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). This gap in the process has significantly hindered my ability to ensure the accuracy and fairness in the handling of this debt. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), as specified in 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( a ), mandates the delivery of such notice. This is essential for providing consumers the chance to dispute or verify the claimed debt. The lack of any formal notification, substantiated by the absence of a certified mail receipt as proof of my informed status, starkly removes verifiable evidence that I was notified about this debt. This absence not only deprives me of my federal right to dispute but also places me at a disadvantage in safeguarding the integrity of my credit report. Given these circumstances, I kindly request that your agency provide me with proof of the certified letter purportedly sent as notification of this debt. This documentation is crucial for verifying that my rights under federal law were respected and that I was indeed given a fair opportunity to dispute the debt in question. 
5. Concerns Over Credit Reporting : The presence of this collection on my credit report, without proper validation or the chance to dispute, raises serious concerns. Reporting such unverified debt contradicts the principles set by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ), which guide accurate and fair debt reporting.
