Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: IL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

Complaint:
I was contacted about this debt back in XX/XX/2023 where I requested information on how to dispute the debt in question as the debt they are discussing was a scam that my bank blocked and therefore I have to responsibility for. I never received a mailed in packet like I was told I would. I tried to follow up and was told I was also sent an email but they have the wrong email on file. Gave them new email address but was never provided with an email. We then moved out of state. When I was contacted again I explained I never received the information I requested and then gave them my updated information once more. Again, did not receive the information. On XX/XX/2023 I received another call. This time I was transferred to speak to a supervisor. This conversation lasted XXXX minutes. During which I explained again that the charge was a scam and I do not owe the debt. I had to ask multiple times, no less than XXXX, for them to send me the dispute information. This person repeatedly told me if I dispute the debt it would be a difficult process and I should just settle with the amount the disclosed. Me repeating myself several times did not deter this person from relentlessly expressing I just " needed to pay '', patronized me by suggesting my mom probably " help '' pay my finances, and ignored everything I said in regards to disputing. When I finally got him to send me the email while on the phone he agressively told me I needed to send him all the information I had back to him right there on the spot while still on the phone. He then said I needed to also have it notorized before sending it, which he knew was not possible. When I said that he laughed and said " exactly so we should just settle it ''. I am so disgusted with this XXXX minute phone call and the absolutely manipulative nature of trying to obtain money for something I have proof of a scam.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
According to 15 U.S.C 6802 ( a ) ( b ) ( c ), which obligates credit reporting agencies to notify me of negative reporting prior to publication thus allowing me the consumer to protest said publication of my personal affairs. The Fair Credit and Reporting Act sets forth that any information on my consumer report must be verified. Transunion has repeatedly ignored my disputes of their failure to protect my consumer rights by ensuring that the information on my report is verified. I asked XXXX how they varied the information and they said that the bankruptcies were reported by an office inside of the court. I asked what court and I told to hold for 1 - 2 minutes before I was hung up on.I called back, and spoke to a different rep and I asked them how the bankruptcies were verified and I was told that the creditors involved in said filings called Transunion and reported them, so I asked which creditors and they went silent before attempting to rush me off the line. I called back and spoke to another rep and they told too, told me that the court reported the bankruptcies and when I told them that I know that the bankruptcy reporting was not verified because I have direct correspondence with the court 's public records department I was told that there was nothing that they could do. In addition, XXXX has intentionally ignored my FCRA protections and remains in violation of 15 U.S.C 1692 ( c ) ( c ). I even received a response from them stating that they would investigate my dispute and abide by consumer law as well as the FCRA. The truth is that Transunion keep stalling me and trying to direct me to call XXXX. Transunion refuses to take responsibility for their inaccurate and unfair reporting practices thus violating my rights as a consumer. When I called them I spoke to a Transunion rep to whom I explained my FCRA protections and then asked how they verified the bankruptcy reporting on my Transunion consumer report. I was told that they verified the information with XXXX. I then asked how they verify that XXXX is following consumer law and I was told again to call XXXX XXXX. At one point I referenced 15 U.S.C 6802 and the rep cut me off to ask if there was anything else they can help with before ending the call despite my request to speak to a supervisor. The fact is, Transunion has continued to ignore my rights and are now in violation of 18 U.S.C 1028 ( a ) and I need for the CFPB to help protect my rights.

Complaint:
I am writing to express my serious concern and dissatisfaction regarding the multiple unsuccessful attempts I have made to rectify fraudulent items on my credit report. These fraudulent items are causing significant harm to my financial well-being and are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am seeking immediate resolution to this matter.

To provide you with a complete understanding of the situation and my extensive efforts to address it : I discovered several items on my credit report that I firmly believe are the result of identity theft or fraudulent activity.

Upon discovering these fraudulent items, I promptly filed a dispute with your agency. I submitted all necessary supporting documentation and evidence to substantiate my claim.

Following the initial dispute, I requested a reinvestigation of the disputed items as I believed they were not adequately addressed during the initial dispute process.

I have made numerous follow-up attempts through written letters, emails, and phone calls to your agency, seeking updates on the status of my dispute and the progress of the reinvestigation. Despite my persistent efforts, I have not received any resolution or a satisfactory response.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act mandates that credit reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation of consumer disputes within 30 days of receiving the dispute. Unfortunately, my dispute has not been resolved within the required time frame, which is a clear violation of my consumer rights.

I hereby request that you : Initiate a thorough and immediate investigation into the fraudulent items on my credit report, as mandated by the law.

Furnish me with a written response that outlines the results of your investigation, including any actions taken to rectify the fraudulent items.

If it is determined that the items are indeed fraudulent, I insist on their immediate removal from my credit report.

Ensure that your agency adheres to all relevant laws and regulations, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I am asking for your assistance to remove the following fraud items : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : - XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$480.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance XXXX {$480.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
