SYNCB/HHGREGG on your credit report refers to the HHGregg Credit Card issued by Synchrony Bank. SYNCB stands for Synchrony Bank, while HHGREGG refers to the HHGregg Credit Card.

Seeing SYNCB/HHGREGG on your credit report is nothing to worry about if you have the HHGregg Credit Card or recently applied for it.

If you do not have the HHGregg Credit Card and did not recently apply for it, you need to file a dispute with the credit bureau that produced the report containing SYNCB/HHGREGG. It’s also a good idea to check your other credit reports and take additional steps to protect yourself against fraud.
