Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: AZ
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Wrong amount charged or received

Complaint:
Hi my name is XXXX XXXX, Im XXXX and Im from XXXX XXXX. Im sending this email with hopes of getting some assistance as I feel I have been taken advantage of by PayPal. They are requiring me to pay a fee of {$920.00} which I believe is unfair and unethical. They have also expressed that they will send this to collections which will damage my credit that I have worked hard to build and maintain. 

On XX/XX/2022, a friend of mine was attempting to send me money to purchase something from me and without us agreeing how he would pay me he found my PayPal account and accidentally sent me money via PayPal. When I saw he sent me the money on PayPal I let him know that he used the wrong payment method and we agreed that we would both contact PayPal to reverse the payment and use different means for him to get me the money that dont have such hefty fees. We both made phone calls and I was told by PayPal customer service that it would be handled ( they should have record of this phone call ). They ended up giving my friend a lot of grief and for some reason didnt want to send it back but he let me know he was working on it. XXXX months later he let me know he was able to successfully get his money returned and I didnt think much of it until I got an email from PayPal on the XXXX of XXXX stating that I had been given a fee of {$920.00} and that I needed to pay it asap. I contacted PayPal to find out what the issue was. They told me there is nothing they can do because someone that sent me money made a charge back dispute to get his money back and they are making me pay a fee for that. I was surprised that I could be so heavily punished for other peoples mistakes on their platform and their own customer services lack of effort to fix an issue all because I happen to have an account on their platform ( that I dont even use due to their hefty fees they impose on their users ). 

I never wanted the money sent to my PayPal in the first place, I never accepted it and definitely never even attempted to transfer to my bank account. Me and the other individual made attempts to reverse it through PayPal, their customer support wouldnt cooperate, and I was unaware the other individual was left with the only option to make a charge back against PayPal to get his money back. I am confused how I am being made responsible to pay fees to PayPal because another user accidentally sent me money when PayPal didnt do their part to reverse the payment. 

Please work on my behalf to resolve this matter & remove the fee in order to prevent damage to my credit. Thank you for your time and for your assistance. Let me know what other details you need from me. Respectfully, XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX

Related to case # XXXX Although the resolution for my dispute was to remove the satisfied judgement from my record, the same judgment appeared 3 times on my report and LexisNexis only removed 1. I called daily throughout the 36 days it took to receive a resolution, and multiple times the reps assured me that all 3 instances would be removed since they have the same case filing number. Now LexisNexis is stating they 30 days for the resolution though it's the same piece of information they've already provided a resolution for.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I've asked TransUnion to investigate inaccurate information that is reporting on my credit report. This information includes a bankruptcy, late payments, charged off accounts and erroneous information related to my name. I do not have mailing address history with the reporting errors, and have asked Clarity to investigate and remove these errors from my report. Attached is information I sent to them via postal service, along with all pertinent identification. 

There is no legitimate reason for this company to reject my dispute letters. I have also attached screenshots directly from their website that clearly state their identification requirements, and this proves that I followed correct protocol. 

The bankruptcy, charged off accounts, and late payments being shown as mine by TransUnion are reporting fraudulently, is not true, accurate, or legally verifiable and this violates CDIA standards.
