Complaint:
I submitted a letter to the 3 Credit Bureaus on XX/XX/2022, to update/correct this suspicious information.

This was already included in my prior complaint and I'm including it again.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: GA
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Money was not available when promised

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX18 I contracted with XXXX XXXX to do a home improvement job to begin on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX18 ; moreover, in order for the job to begin on Monday, 1/3 of the payment ( {$6400.00} ) was due XX/XX/XXXX18. Since I was not in the same city as the contractor I chose to use PayPal to send the money to the contractor. PayPal immediately withdrew the money from my Visa card and I immediately received a notice " payment sent '' from PayPal. 

I thought everything was all set until when I called the contractor on Monday morning to remind him not to put the dumpster in front of the house ; I was then told that the money never arrived from PayPal. 

I contacted PayPal and inquired what was going on. I had used PayPal on numerous occasions and the money has always been available within 5 minutes. XXXX, the first rep stated that the money was there and the construction company needed to receive it. He also told me to click the " services received button '' and that would speed up the process for XXXX XXXX to receive the money, so I did. 
Since I've never received any money from PayPal, I've only sent money, so I am not familiar with what " receive it '' meant and neither was XXXX ( XXXX XXXX  ). 

XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) and I conferenced called PayPal multiple times for help with receiving the monies to no avail. I called everyday and on Thursday I totally lost my patience with PayPal Supervisor XXXX ( Employee # XXXX ) because PayPal has my money and will not release it to the company nor will they refund it to me. I am paying interest on my Visa card while they hold my money hostage in their black hole. 

PayPal now instructed me to file a dispute against XXXX XXXX. Now I am totally confused because I don't have a dispute with the construction company I have a dispute with PayPal for NOT Sending moreover, Keeping my {$6400.00}. The rep assured me that this is how I would get my money back ; so I did the dispute. THEN I was told that they would hold on to the money until XX/XX/XXXX18 while they investigate. What is there to investigate? PayPal has the money, PayPal won't send it to whom I requested it be sent to and when I requested that PayPal refund my money immediately they have to investigate? This company is clearly out of integrity. I want my money back is all. They didn't provide any disclosures that state this madness ( any holding time before dispensing funds ) They have a bunch of reps that say anything to get you off the phone, additionally each call created a bigger mess that it was before. I need help. I want my money back and I do not want to pay XXXX cent in interest because of what PayPal has done. XXXX - Employee # XXXX was the supervisor that I had my last discussion with.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I mailed Experian my XXXX, social, current mailing and home address, former addresses for the past 10+ years, XXXX XXXX XXXX bills, phone bills, etc and even included a {$10.00} check .... They received my package on XX/XX/XXXX and have yet to contact me or remove the Fraud alert and Freeze from my account. I have called many times and gone through all the prompts. I have tried calling 3 different phone numbers on at least 10 different occasions each and can not reach a human. I have even emailed explaining all of the above and have heard nothing. My email said call me now!!!!! I'm trying to buy a XXXX and I have literally spent weeks trying to resolve this. Experian blacked out my phone number on the credit report so that XXXX needs to get the freeze removed so that they can see the phone number to call me. They must do this because I had put a Fraud alert in order to protect identity back in XX/XX/XXXX when XXXX had their breach. 

How does the government allow a credit bureau to have so much control over a persons life????? There is no accountability with these bureaus. XXXX is associated with XXXX, so XXXX made a ton money off people when they had a breach and they weren't accoutable, in fact since they own XXXX, they made a ton of money off the XXXX breach. They probably planned it as XXXX had their best year ever. 

My letter to them, which tracking proves they received on the 3rd, insists that they permanently take me off Freeze and Fraud alert. All of this has actually lowered my Excellent credit score. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
