I attempted to apply for a bank account, and I was advised I was unable to get an account because I was in XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I was told how to obtain my consumer disclosure reports.

Complaint:
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent permanent limitation placed on my PayPal account ( email : XXXX ). I strongly believe that this limitation is the result of a misunderstanding or an error. I have always been a responsible and compliant user of PayPals services, adhering strictly to the platform 's policies.

I would like to assert that I have not engaged in any activities that could violate PayPal 's terms of use or policies. Its crucial for me to highlight that I highly value the services PayPal offers and the seamless experiences it provides for online transactions. I have taken great care to ensure that my account is used within the boundaries of PayPals guidelines.

I kindly request PayPal to reconsider this limitation by re-evaluating my case comprehensively. Mistakes can happen, and I am hopeful that upon review, it will become evident that my account does not warrant a permanent limitation. I am ready and willing to cooperate fully with any investigation that may be required to rectify this situation. 

I understand the importance of maintaining a safe and secure online ecosystem, and I fully support PayPal 's commitment to this objective. If there has been any unusual or suspicious activity associated with my account, I assure you it was not of my doing. I am dedicated to resolving this matter and regaining access to my PayPal account. 

I kindly request that PayPals team of experts re-investigate my case with utmost consideration. If the situation warrants, I sincerely hope that you will see fit to reinstate my account, allowing me to resume the normal use of PayPal 's services. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and your understanding of the urgency I feel to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Complaint:
Despite multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below continue to appear on my credit report, which is a violation of the FCRA.

Given my attempts to address it directly with three CREDIT BUREAUS, they are intentionally negligent and in violation of federal statutes, and I require this situation to be resolved immediately. Please remove the following elements from my file : 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.

Complaint:
I am distressed that you have included EQUIFAX information in my credit profile on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

I respectfully sent in notarized and certified letters on XX/XX/XXXX and still no response. 

Also, please add a promotional suppression to my credit file. 

This company is NOT responding and reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. 

Under federal law, you have thirty ( XXXX ) days to complete your investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( XXXX ) days of the completion of your re-investigation. 

Thank you,
