Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to alert the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of a collections company that is violating my rights and not using proper communication methods when showing up on my credit report. I need the CFPB office to please look into my case. This SW CRDT SYS account with a balance of {$500.00} has just popped up on my credit report without ever communicating to me. There was no written letter to me or calls to me so I can explain that they have the wrong person. They have recently just popped up on my credit report and I am not familiar with how they got my information or how they have my social security number. I do not owe this company and I Right now I am getting an alert on my credit karma and credit monitoring service saying my credit score has dropped tremendously. I can furnish the images of this alert showing the collections company. They are hurting me financially and this is a really big issue. To my understanding they must be compliant with laws and regulations that say they must write the consumer within days of the first communication. They are using my credit to communicate with me yet they NEVER wrote me before. .If they don't write me then how could send me a right to dispute or explain my rights? Please review the original paperwork for this account. I request they send me a copy of this information to my address. I also request the original contract signed showing my signature long with all other pages of the original agreement. I am suffering damages because of this error. I have been a victim of ID theft before and I monitor my financial affairs very closely. 
To me this seems like an instance of debt parking that I read about on the FTC website. The Federal Trade Commission has taken action against debt collection companies that allegedly placed bogus or highly questionable debts onto consumers credit reports to coerce them to pay the debts. They label this as DEBT PARKING. The Federal Trade Commission recently took action against a Missouri collection company and its owners, alleging that they collected more than {$24.00} XXXX from consumers, largely by placing bogus or highly questionable debts on their credit reports. The defendants used this illegal debt parking to coerce people to pay debts they didnt owe or didnt recognize, XXXX XXXX XXXX director of the F.T.C.s bureau of consumer protection , said in prepared remarks about the agencys settlement with the company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I DO NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS COMPANY and I am concerned they have unethicality acquired my information and they are acting unethically with their debt collections. There is a process in law that protects consumers from these illegal actions. This account is lowering my credit score and if I am declined for anything, I will seek financial remedy by talking to an fdcpa lawyer.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Synchrony Bank is reporting a charge off, monthly, to all credit reporting agency 's ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) This lowers my credit score every month and is hurting my ability to obtain a loan. The account was disputed and Synchrony Bank charged off the account. There is no other reason to report the account monthly to my credit report without a balance owed. This is just an unethical way that Synchrony Bank is doing to hurt my credit score. I have disputed this account in court and Synchrony Bank has not responded to the case in over a year. I called Synchrony Bank Spoke to XXXX XXXX and advised her of the problem and she could not do anything to help me.

Since XX/XX/XXXX XXXX has reported incorrect information. I contacted them ( XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and I was assured that the information on XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) wasn't the correct score, but my score was higher in XXXX system and was told to check it there.

I was put on hold and then the line hung up. XXXX has documented untruthful information and my account with XXXX XXXX, stating I had an increase on my account which was incorrect. It was documented by XXXX and Transunion and that I needed to contact my creditor which I did. I have never been late, always paid more, and paid 30 days in advance since the loan.
