Consumer Narrative
I have disputed SYNCB/BP, Account XXXX multiple times across all three Credit Bureau and they have failed to annotate my account was " in dispute. '' Per Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), when you file a dispute with the credit reporting agencies, they are required by the FCRA to show that the item is in dispute. They accomplish this by placing the code XB on the offensive credit entry. The XB code is whats referred to in my world as a Compliance Condition Code. When its placed in your credit report, it reads as Consumer disputes, investigation in process or some derivative of that wording. Since this has happened multiple times over the last year I want this account " DELETED '' across all Credit Bureaus due to the misrepresentation of the data on my credit file, impact to my FICO and increased in interest rates over the last year. There is no telling what else is not in compliance.
