Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a, your company failed to follow proper procedures in regard to correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation. As clearly outlined within, 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ; 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subchapter 7 states the following ; ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a detailed description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description.

Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, your agency failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX 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.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I received a email alert from Synchrony Bank notifying me of a closed account ( That was in good standing/current ), without good cause, ( ending in XXXX ). Payments have never been late, and just out of the blue they closed the account. The reason ( s ) they gave is ridiculous to say the least ( see attachments ). I received the letter via email XX/XX/year>. I was under the impression in America ( Under the fair credit use act ), that if payments were made on time every month the account was current. 

Also, Synchrony Bank has decreased other credit lines and, or closed other accounts of without good cause, all were current and paid on time as according to the terms of the credit. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., governs access to consumer credit report records and promotes " accuracy '', " fairness '', and the p
rivacy of personal information assembled by Credit Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ).

I am complaining about the accounts I have with synchrony Bank ... and I have/ had over XXXX ..... 

Credit card issuers can close account if : '' If '' you violated the terms of your card agreement in some fashion, that could also cause the issuer to shut down your account. Another cause could be that you havent used your credit card in a while. Card issuers would then not be making any money off you and would prefer to extend credit to someone else who makes them money. 

Issuers also tend to review your financial situation from time to time. They could look into your creditworthiness and decide whether to continue doing business with you. They could consider input such as the number of late payments on your account, if there are any liens against you, how many new credit accounts you have and if you have overextended yourself. If they find your financial situation has deteriorated since they first approved you for their card, they could decide to cancel it. I have not violated any term of my agreement with the card issuer, thus the account should not had been closed without good cause. MY Credit profile is the same today as it was when they " pre-approved '' me for the Sams Club Elite Master Card card over a year ago. I think it is a retaliatory action for filing online complaints about Synchrony Bank on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and other online business review venues about the poor quality of service... MY payment record with Synchrony Bank has been perfect through the years ... .OH well, just another bad review coming up... ..i Have included a copy of statement which shows account was current when closed " without good cause '' ...
