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

Complaint:
I am writing to bring to your attention an error in my credit file. I recently reviewed my credit report and noticed that : : XXXX XXXX  Inquires and inaccurate account, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inaccurate Account, XXXX XXXX XXXX inaccurate Account, XXXX XXXX inaccurate/fraudulent account : : : Despite my previous requests, this transaction has not been removed from my credit file. This inaccurate information has been negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

I would like to draw your attention to the following laws that protect consumer rights and mandate the accurate reporting of credit information : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) - This federal law promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of consumer information contained in the files of consumer reporting agencies.

2. Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) - This amendment to the FCRA provides consumers with the ability to request and obtain a f
ree credit report once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer credit reporting companies.

3. Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ) - This Act provides consumers with protections against unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices by financial institutions. 

I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify this error and remove the inaccurate transaction from my credit file. Failure to do so not only violates my rights under the aforementioned laws but also subjects your company to potential legal consequences. 

Please provide written confirmation once the necessary corrections have been made. Additionally, I expect to receive an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the removal of the inaccurate information. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to a swift resolution of this issue.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Other banking product or service
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
XXXX is debiting my bank account without permission and in what seems to me unethical at best, possibly illegal. 

After 12 years using Paypal, they " permanently limited '' my account for reasons they refuse to disclose. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of business transactions were done over the years. Frustrating to not even know why this happened. 

First complaint, they have basically seized {$43.00} left in the account for XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and claim they will only release it after 180 days. XXXX MONTHS! 

The real issue though is that on the XXXX of XXXX I had transferred {$260.00} to my bank account with XXXX XXXX. This was the proceeds of sales activity, minus all Paypal fee costs. I do not owe XXXX any money. The {$260.00} cleared my bank and became available as a completed transaction on the XXXX. 

A few days later they terminated my account and then placed into motion an ACH debit for {$260.00} in my bank account. I called them and they basically said while I did not owe them money they could and would do this and hold the money for XXXX months, then maybe transfer it back to me. 

Paypal has no legal reason to do this other than their size allows them to abuse people. They claim it is to protect themselves from non-shipment of sales items or chargebacks, but they also will not allow me to remove the bank account from their site. Any chargebacks would come back to the bank account in any caser so this is a lie to simply take money from people. 

Further, while the {$260.00} ACH shows on my bank account, the charge does not appear on my Paypal transactions. The {$260.00} has been debited from my bank, but not reflected on my Paypal balance nor in the transaction history. They have cloaked or hidden it, which seems almost criminal to me. 

What would stop Paypal from placing ACH charges on my bank account at any time, in any amount? Very abusive. Why is this legal? Help me. I have already filed a claim for fraud with my bank, but as of yet they have not replied to me.
