Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I disputed 2 entries on my credit report maintained by XXXX Credit Bureau in XX/XX/2023. After their investigation, they concluded the two entries had been verified. 

On XX/XX/2023, I sent XXXX Credit Bureau a certified letter requesting they provide me with the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information that I had disputed. 

I also requested they provide me with the name, address, and telephone number of each person contacted regarding these alleged accounts. I also requested copies of any documents they were provided, bearing my signature, and confirming a legally binding contractual obligation that I am responsible for the two entries on my credit report under dispute. 

On XX/XX/2023, XXXX delivered the results of their reinvestigation, claiming that my requests were complete. The final line of their reinvestigation said that an XXXX  specialist determined " DISPUTED ITEM NOT LISTED ON CREDIT REPORT ''. 

First of all, XXXX provided me with none of the information that I requested, including : DID NOT provide me with a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information being disputed DID NOT provide me with the name, address, or telephone number of persons contacted regarding this dispute DID NOT provide me copies of any documents, WHATSOEVER, confirming the 2 entries on my credit report they maintain under my social security number Second, for the last line of the reinvestigation to read " DISPUTED ITEM NOT LISTED ON CREDIT REPORT '' when these 2 entries are CLEARLY ON MY CREDIT REPORT, have been for some time, and have not been removed by the collection agency OR XXXX. 

I can not count the number of violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act that have taken place here. This is a gross abuse of power, negligent enablement of identity fraud, and defamation, and is causing me great financial harm by these 2 entries being reported on my credit report.

Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
End of XX/XX/2020, I requested my credit report and was denied. According to Transunion I was not providing enough personal information. I was sent information in Spanish which I did not understand and had someone translate for me. When I sent my request, I sent a copy of my drivers license, utility bill, internet bill, and social security. I was denied my annual credit report. 

In XX/XX/2020, I called and ask for my report and they assured they would sent it and in the language that I understand which is English. Once again they sent it in Spanish and three weeks later the same. I felt discriminated because my name has latin origins and I have not had an account with Transunion to elect another specific language. 

In XX/XX/2020, I expressed my frustration of not being able to read my own credit report because it was in Spanish and they reassured again it would be in English. Once again I received it in Spanish so I am unable to identity which information is mine and not. 

Attachments show them in Spanish. I never selected Spanish. I speak only English.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I made a deposit with two checks ( # 1 {$110000.00} & # 2 {$10000.00} ) from the US Treasury at a local Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) branch and per their funds availability policy the funds were made available to me the next business day. However, 24 hours after the deposit, and having made the funds available, NFCU opted to then arbitrarily put an extended hold on the funds and reversed the availability from my account. NFCU did this without warning ( an email was sent after the fact ). NFCU provided no factual rational that justified their actions, and I was told by an NFCU employee that the hold was placed because the checks had a high probability of not being paid, which made little sense as the checks were US Treasury checks.

NFCU 's policy does allow for extended holds to be placed on funds for up to 5 days. However, their policy does not state that fund availability is subject to reversal after an initial hold has elapsed and funds have been made available. NFCU was not acting in good faith when it released the funds and then reversed that release without any fact based rational, evidence, or indicators of fraud. By NFCU 's explanation and rational, a customer has no way to tell when the funds actually become available, i.e., the customer can not rely on the balance shown in their account at any time until 5 business days have elapsed after the deposit as NFCU can reverse the availability at any time without warning or proper justification.

I do not have a contract with MEDERIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES nor do I owe them any debt.

MEDERIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES does not have any legal license to collect in the state of Georgia which they are illegally trying to do, as well as trying to extort me for an extension of credit that has nothing to do with me. They are also using my non-public information without my consent and authorization fraudulently reporting false Information.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I received a collection notice dated XX/XX/2023 on my XXXX credit report from CREDIT CONTROL , LLC, that the original creditor : XXXX XXXX, shows a past due balance of {$2300.00} in my name for an address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. 

I have never had a XXXX XXXX account or been associated with that address or even been to the city of XXXX. 

After immediately contacting XXXX XXXX at XXXX on XX/XX/2023 ( forwarded to XXXX ), they refused to provide me with any account information until I produced a government ID in person at a store. The closest XXXX store is a 5+ hour round trip drive away from me. 

I have called the collection agency multiple times and left a detailed voicemail on XXXX during their posted hours however, there was no response. 

At this point, I do not know the account number, what product or service was purchased, or even what date the fraud occurred. I can not submit XXXX 's internal fraud report because I have no information to create a police report. I welcome the opportunity to verify my identity ( other than traveling 5+ hours ) and welcome an opportunity to work with XXXX should they provide it. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) failed to verify the identity of the individual opening the account. Now they fail to provide any proof of debt or any details about it. Furthermore, XXXX  fails to have procedures in place for non-local consumers to prove their identity or resolve fraud issues.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I attempted to transfer funds from an account at XXXX XXXX to an account at my credit union just as I had done repeatedly in the past. Instead of completing the transaction PayPal held the funds and then their customer service staff insisted that I was the person who created an electronic check. Earlier today I learned that, as I suspected, PayPal created the electronic check and printed the screen showing that they automatically converted the transaction to an electronic check AND provided me with no ability to stop or cancel the transaction. Accordingly I contacted XXXX XXXX after seeing that, in fact, PayPal had received the funds and was holding them for undisclosed reasons. I initiated a dispute per Regulation E with XXXX XXXX and should receive conditional credit in the next day even though PayPal shows it will hold the funds until XX/XX/XXXX. After dealing with PayPal 's utterly useless offshore " customer service '' staff I decided to manually move the funds in the form of cash by withdrawing most of the amount at a XXXX ATM and then driving to my credit union. Since XXXX defaults now to paying overdraft amounts I discovered this morning that my account had a negative balance due to the PayPal originated eCheck debiting my account.
