Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft

Consumer Complaint: This company has infringed on my right to privacy, I have never given this company any right to have my personal information. This company is trying to collect on an alleged debt. This company reported unverified inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies, which has greatly harmed my ability to offer or extend my credit to other financial institutions. This is against federal laws. This account is not mine and was opened using my personal identification without my consent. When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615 ( f ). Ive also never given this company permission to contact me which according to the FCRA is also against federal laws. I have asked numerous times for this company to stop furnishing false information to the CRAs and also for them to stop contacting me. My next step will be to file suit. This is my last time asking to please remove this account, its not mine.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022 I sent CareCredit/ Synchrony Bank a letter demanding them to verify an alleged debt on a open-end consumer credit plan account that I opened on XX/XX/2022. They received my letter on XX/XX/2022. I received a billing statement from CareCredit/ Synchrony Bank showing a new balance of {$1900.00} they are alleging I owe them for the extension of credit I'd used. Pursuant to 15 usc 1692g ( b of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), once a consumer request verification of an alleged debt, the creditor is required to cease all collection activities of the disputed amounts. CareCredit may have billed me after received my certified letter, which would be a violation of this statute. As a result of receiving the billing statement, I'm sending them a cease and desist notice pursuant to 15 usc 1692c ( c ) of the FDCPA. In the notice I'm also notifying them of a billing error in the amount of {$1900.00}. Pursuant to the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) 15 USC 1666 ( b ) ( 4 ), CareCredit failed to properly reflect on the statement a credit issued to me, and instead tried to deceive me into believing I owe a debt on my own extension of credit.
