Executive Summary
Synchrony Financial won summary judgment in a pro se FCRA lawsuit over a $47.15 credit card dispute. The court found Synchrony's credit reporting was accurate because the plaintiff chose to receive Amazon refunds as e-gift cards rather than as a credit to his Synchrony card, so the outstanding balance was valid. The case was dismissed with prejudice, removing a trivial litigation overhang.
