I have a complicated issue with an old charge account. The original creditor was GE Capital, now Syncrony Bank. Some background on this issue is that my sister and I had the same surname and lived at the same address, our ssn 's are identical except for XXXX digits being transposed. We both had GE capital cards at the time and if information got applied to the wrong account it would not be the first time. On my card I bought furniture that was delivered damaged, after XXXX attempts to repair it I was told by the sales manager he would apply a 10 % discount to the account I made the purchase on. Now on my credit reports XXXX is showing XXXX entries for XXXX 2014, XXXX with an {$84.00} payment and a total of {$630.00} charged off. XXXX is showing {$280.00} charged off, and my original XXXX report shows XXXX charged off but also shows {$84.00} payments made in XXXX and XXXX of 2014. I disputed this original account because the amounts and payments did not seem right, and after the dispute XXXX updated the account to paid after collection. When I called Synchrony to ask about the payment history and final account balance, I was told the account was sold and they did not have the records. If I ca n't confirm that this is my correct account information, payment history and status of the account this should net be on my credit report. And that leads to the fact that if there is inaccurate balances on the original then the resulting collection account is also inaccurate. I know an online dispute just checks credit bureau data against what the reporting company has and I do n't believe that any of this information is accurate. Which charge off amount is correct? what interest was charged? are fees included in the amount? was the 10 % discount applied to the right account? was it applied late? 
Additionally, I sent a validation request to XXXX XXXX as soon as I was aware of the collection account. I never received a letter, I found the entry on my credit report. I sent the letter certified mail to the correspondence address listed on the XXXX XXXX entry on my report and it was returned undeliverable. I understand that this may be an old address, but if XXXX XXXX is stating that they sent me a dunning letter to an old address and my failure to respond implies the debt is valid, then the same should apply to my letter and imply it is not validated and should not be being collected on or reported on my credit reports.
