Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
PayPal has unfairly debited balances of my account with them, despite providing foolproof Proof-of-Delivery and neutral third-party evidences to PayPal for their perusal. Herein attached image depicts the PayPal cases, amount in question, and occurrence dates.

It is extremely bias and unfair to honest sellers like myself to sustain this monetary lost due to PayPal 's indifference for these. 

PayPal with the supporting documents, decided to take the easier way out and let the fraudulent buyer get away with it, and refunding the payment back to the fradulent buyer. I have lost both the funds, and also the delivered assets. 

Upon further research in public domains, I see many complaints on PayPal of similar nature too, thus writing in here to hopefully make our voices heard.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2017, I purchased one blazer and two different pants ( size XXXX and XXXX ) from XXXX XXXX. Within two weeks, I sent back size XXXX and canceled size XXXX. Then I purchased a smaller size XXXX. I also sent back the size XXXX for a size XXXX within the same time frame. When it came time for payment, I sent a check for {$75.00}, which covered the XXXX pants ( {$30.00} ) and the blazer ( advertised for {$41.00} ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX ( Confirmation # XXXX ) and called XXXX at Comenity Bank/XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017, to make sure the previous charges were removed. They explained that I would be receiving a bill credit of {$24.00} for now and to give the process 60 days to work out the removal of other charges. I received the aforementioned credit but never was credited for the {$34.00} for the size XXXX pants. Since then, my bill has grown to {$300.00} in the last statement received. This balance is not correct, as I paid off everything the first time ( see check # XXXX ).

Complaint:
I applied to rent an apartment today XX/XX/21 and sadly I was not approved because my credit report came back with several accounts in bad standing. I looked through my report and many of those accounts are not mine. Theres accounts from many different companies that I am not associated with in any way ; I never allowed anyone to open any of those accounts on my behalf nor did I benefit anything ( money, goods, services ) as a result of those accounts being opened in my name. I have took it upon myself to file a police report as well as a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in hopes of getting this resolved and clearing my name.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
Please see the two pdf attachments. Experian claims that I'm not making my own disputes, so they won't investigate my dispute. I am indeed making my own disputes and am really tired of Experian making this false claim. I have asked three times for a dispute to be investigated, and three times Experian has stated that they will not investigate my disputes. Therefore, I demand that Experian remove all disputed information from my credit report via the FCRA. 

I have sent them copies of my lease, driver 's license, SS card and utility bills as part of my disputes, but they falsely claim that I haven't. 

Thank you

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2016, I purchased two blouses and two pairs of pants from XXXX for my wedding and associated events for {$120.00}. When I received the packaging, it was heavily soiled and damaged ( see pictures ). Given the quick turnaround to the wedding, I needed to keep one set of blouse and pants and sent the second set back. After returning the items, I was only credited {$8.00} and was never given a satisfactory explanation as to why. After deducting the {$76.00} ( the total value of the returned merchandise ) from the {$110.00} adjusted balance, I sent a check for {$37.00} ( see check # XXXX ) received before the XX/XX/16 due date. Since then, the balance has grown to {$260.00}, and the account has been transferred from XXXX XXXX to Crown Asset Management , LLC. This balance is not correct, as I paid off everything I actually owed with check # XXXX.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So, whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. I know for FACT I did not give nor do you have my written instructions to furnish my information. Since I did not give you written consent to do such, that is identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. It has harmed my family and I severely. Please rectify this matter IMMEDIATELY!

This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I expect a written response from your credit bureau within 4 days of receiving this letter. Failure to respond will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter further, including reporting the violation to the appropriate regulatory authorities and pursuing legal remedies available under the FCRA. 

I, XXXX XXXX state that the information you are reporting is not information relating to any transaction that I made by the consumer.
