You should also be mindful that CCCs aren't concerned only with how you treat them. They tend to look at your overall handling of accounts. So if you do something to one company that spooks another you could (and have) very well suffer AA. Good luck to you.
Thank you
Good luck let us know the outcome. A fresh report with updated info should do.
If you've asked the other lender to update your account, and GECRB/Sychrony took AA, have you requested the reports that you're entititled to for free under law?
You could also call GECRB and request that they reopen the accounts, institute the credit line, although I might put your disputes in with the three bureaus so that GECRB will see the clean report.

To those of you who might have an interest...my score is 607 as of today ...it fluctuated from 650-680 most of the time before a couple months ago my credit score was lowered because of a 30 day late payment to another lender (not GECRB) that has been cleared up and I am good standing with this lender at this time....if I had made late payments on GECRB accounts or defaulted in any way to them I would completely understand their actions. It is possible when they checked my credit to update their accounts my score was lower I guess would be the only reason. I guess all I can do is pay the accts off I have balances left on and move on. It's weird how a company that gave me a chance a few years ago helped me build credit is now taking it all back.
Maybe if I sent the information from my bank explaining to the other company that I had the 30 day late with about my debit card# compromised and caused the payment to be refused is why I had a late payment they might understand. The other company adjusted my payment status so it dropped the 30 day late off my credit report.
Didn't say you were lying... I was just pointing out the 607 score as the reason they did what they did.
A 30 day late could very well set off red flags.
Houston........We have found the culprit. this is what triggered GE's AA on you. ( or any other lender for that matter )
