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

Complaint:
I have been receiving emails from PayPal addressed to XXXX XXXX ( I do not know anyone by this name ). The emails are sent to XXXX, whereas my email account is actually XXXX. XXXX does not pay any attention to periods in email addresses, so regardless of how many are included and where, they will still deliver to the same account based only on the alpha numeric symbols in the address. 

I have tried forwarding these emails to XXXX which is the only option available through PayPal for reporting this. They have always replied that they will not close the account or remove XXXX unless I am able to email them from that precise address. The issue is that XXXX will only let you send emails from the address you registered with ( XXXX ) even though they will deliver regardless of periods. 

After repeated attempts with PayPal I see no other option than to escalate through a CFPB complaint in hopes that hearing from you folks will cause them to actually take action here. 

Note I have tried resetting the password for XXXX so I could log in and close the account myself, however they refuse to do a password reset unless I provide a government ID for XXXX XXXX ( again, I don't know this person or whether they even exist ).

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

Complaint:
On ( XX/XX/2023 ) I sent a letter regarding inaccurate Late payments, inaccurate negative accounts, bankruptcies and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those negative items from my credit report as well as correct my late payments as paid on time. It has been over 60 days so they should be corrected promptly. I demand these negative accounts be deleted & correct late payments as paid on time immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint:
to whom it may concern, I booked flights with XXXX XXXX and when we got to the airport for our departure and already had our bags paid for. 
One of the XXXX XXXX employees pulled us out of line to use the XXXX to try and help us expedite the process of getting our boarding pass. 
Long story short, the flight was about to leave and I just paid for two bags in the total amount of {$190.00} ( additional ) and the XXXX company refuses to let me mail in proof or email proof. They say they do not have an email address for me to send this to. 
They stole XXXX from me and my family and we are trying to recover from this hurricane. 

they also make it impossible to log in to check balances but the second a payment is due, they have all the means available to notify me from the mountain tops that my card is due. 

this is a predatory tactic in my opinion and this company has taken advantage of us for too long. 

sincerely

Complaint:
I was approved for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from Chase 6 months ago and received a promotion to be automatically eligible for credit limit increase after using the card for {$500.00} USD or more and paying on time within 6 months. I diligently followed their advice by using the card for more than {$500.00} USD ( approximately $ XXXX to XXXX ) and made payments on time. However, still they never increased my credit limit. No consideration given at all. This is XXXX of my first credit cards in the United States and still in the credit building stage. They said the system does the approval and can not manually override. In my opinion, a human being can override a system if they want to but I guess they don't want to. At least they should consider my situation since I am doing my best to maintain a positive credit profile. I have spoken to many of their representatives and XXXX of them is from the lending department but still to no avail did bother to help me. I just wish no discrimination was involved here. I have been using this card heavily in the past few days and months. The problem is I have to transfer money from checking account to credit card every time I make a large purchase since my limit is only {$500.00} USD.

I sent the letter below to all 3 credit bureaus. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX has yet to get back to me with an answer. It has been over 30 days. I would like to have these negative items removed from all 3 of my credit reports. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. 

I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile 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. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. 

XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. 

Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. The listed item is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting. Please delete this misleading information and supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last six months, or the last two years for employment purposes. Additionally, please provide the name, address, and telephone number of each credit grantor or other subscriber. 

Under federal law, you have thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your re-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 ( 15 ) days of the completion of your re-investigation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I'm really upset because they put the inaccurate account back on my credit report. They took it off before because it was wrong and inaccurate, but now it was included in my credit history again. This is clearly a violation. According to FCRA, if any info that got deleted from my report is put back in, the agency needs to let me know within 5 business days, either in writing or through any other way you've allowed them to. I never received any notice, and I never authorized this agency to report on my consumer profile. I'm super worried because this bad information can mess up my finances. Having an accurate credit report is a big deal because it affects my ability to get loans, have good interest rates, and make important money choices. I know my rights as a customer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to the FCRA, they should take off any wrong info from my credit report right away. But putting this item back on my report isn't fair or accurate. It's not right.
