Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day, over 30 days later, the information on my identity theft report has not been blocked. I feel like I'm being taken advantaged of and being ignored of my disputes. In Section 605B, it is plainly stated that a Consumer Reporting Agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 days. My information was impacted by the Equifax data breach and has gotten into the hands of the wrong person. I have sent a notarized copy of the affidavit attached. The document was notarized to authenticate the documents and my identity, no further proof of identity should have been required. Any responses that I have received were general responses and did not respond specifically to my affidavit nor my disputes. They did not comply with my demand to block the information in the affidavit pursuant to the law. I have followed all of the necessary steps in order to legally and rightfully have these items removed, including but not limited to : Sending letters to the reporting agency, filing FTC reports with the Federal Trade Commission and sending notarized affidavit of truth clarifying the identity theft. The extended length of time to remedy this situation has drastically impacted my financial stability. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation and seek damages due to the stress you have caused me.

Sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX I had an electronic transfer to the credit card company to pay off my balance. I was looking at my credit limit and accidentally quoted them the amount of my credit limit instead of my balance. by the time I realized it, to late. I figured they knew how to take care of it. Well, when they got the money with the extra amount they put the extra amount in like I owed it. Of course at the time I did not know this until I received a letter from them apologizing for the mistake. The letter was dated XXXX XXXX. So, ok, I figured they would fix it. So now on XX/XX/XXXX I get a bill that is charging me {$18.00} in interest. In the time between I also had a XXXX card with the company so I called in and asked if the credit I had could be applied to that second card. That seemed to be ok, so I canceled the original card. I'm older and I would sometimes use the wrong card since I had XXXX separate cards and really needed to par down on my stuff. They tried to get me to combine the accounts but I Only wanted to retain the smaller limit card, they finally accepted that. Sounds like everything is great, until I got that bill. I was so pissed about that {$18.00}, that I called right then, and of course get the recorder guy, waited through all that mess and repeatedly asked for representative. Finally I get a person but he n helpeeds all my information then he still doesn't work out, hard to understand with his deep accent, etc. So now I get a young lady, I'm really Mad by now and she can tell but she is real cool and tells me that the interest charge is computed daily and I am trying to tell her the account was closed and overpaid and the extra money was transferred to another account. She is still saying that the interest charge is from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I'm still trying to tell her the account was paid off, a mistake was made and trying to read her the letter I got and she is saying to me that the interest is computed daily, needless to say she was not trying to help me understand anything and did not even seem to be hearing anything I was saying. Not once did she say, Mam lets see if we can figure this out or maybe a supervisor could help, NOTHING in the way of real customer service. And well, I really lost my temper and told her to cancel my other card and that I was going to complain on a national level and tell every person I know and Meet not to deal with their company.,

Dear PayPal Support Team, I am writing this complaint to appeal the permanent limitation placed on my PayPal account. I strongly believe that this limitation was placed on my account by mistake and that I have not violated any PayPal policy. 

As a loyal PayPal customer for many years, I have always used my account in accordance with PayPal 's policies and regulations. Therefore, I was shocked to learn that my account had been permanently limited. 

I would like to kindly request that PayPal re-investigates my case and restores my account if possible. I am confident that upon further investigation, PayPal will find that my account has been unjustly limited. 

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that the email address on my PayPal account is XXXX. I kindly ask that PayPal communicates any updates or further information regarding this issue to this email address. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Billing dispute for services

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 around XXXXXXXX XXXX Eastern Time, I attempted to log into my TransUnion account. I was unable to login with my username and password. I tried to reset my password, but I was not able to. TransUnion 's website was stuck on Step One of verifying my identity in order to reset my account password. I thought that maybe I needed to sign up again. I clicked " Sign Up '' and filled out my information. The website then asked me for my credit card information. The website did not mention that I was about to purchase a service or provide me with a total. However, the website would not let me proceed with registering an account without registering a credit card, so I did so. It was only after the registration process was complete that I realized the TransUnion charged me {$24.00} without explicitly notifying me that it was charging me or informing me of what service I was purchasing. I immediately cancelled the service, but it had already charged my credit card. I only wanted to view my TransUnion credit score and unfreeze my credit. TransUnion essentially charged my credit card without explicitly notifying me that it was charging me or telling me what I was purchasing. This is my formal complaint against TransUnion 's predatory practices for the sake of parting unwary consumers from their money. 

When the charge posts to my credit card, I intend to dispute the charge with my credit card company as TransUnion did not explicitly inform me that I was making a purchase and did not provide me a total amount for what I was purchasing.
