Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
Hello, I recently reached out in writing regarding my consumer credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX about unauthorized inquiries. I have not given ANYONE permission or consent to do so, as I have not applied for credit for a while with these companies. I am giving you as much information as I can to help you with this re-investigation demand so please feel free to utilize this information. 
According to section 604 FCRA, I would greatly appreciate if you would provide me for what is called a permissible purpose or proof that I applied or initiated these inquiries from each company listed. This poses great concern about my security and the privacy of my credit being at risk. If no proof or evidence with supporting documents is found, please delete these item ( s ) immediately. 
If these inquiries are concluded to be originated online or by an internet source, please provide the IP address associated with the alleged inquiry. 
I have also contacted the creditor ( s ) in question, and they claim they have no proof either, of each initiated inquiry, no written authorization documented, and each company has failed to provide me a permissible purpose or proof. Because the creditors in question could not provide proof of authorization whether written or verbal, I am asking that each alleged inquiry be deleted from my credit report of XXXX. The alleged inquiries are unproven, non-compliant, and unverified as there is absolutely no evidence or proof of my authorization of a permissible purpose.

Section 604 states that a permissible purpose of Consumer Reports 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) in Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( F ) otherwise has a legitimate business need for the information ( i ) in connection with a business transaction that is initiate
d by the consumer. Please read on ; section 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ) of this title, a consumer reporting agency shall not furnish to any person a record of inquiries in connection with a credit or insurance transaction that is not initiated by a consumer. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, paragraph ( 5 ) treatment of inaccurate or, unverifiable information ( A ) In general, If, after
any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information is found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or can not be verified the consumer and the reported agency shall ( i ) promptly be deleted.

They assured me the matter was resolved & a letter of confirmation would be sent to me. XX/XX/XXXX I receive a letter form Grant & Weber Inc. ( collection agency ) stating they represent XXXX XXXX ( OC ) and now {$480.00} were owed. I explained to them the prior conversation with the OC expressing resolution to the matter.

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent them a letter asking them to validate theyre claim in accordance with law. They have not provided any of the validation steps or removed the claim from my credit reports as required by law. XX/XX/XXXX I sent a second letter to Grant & Weber Inc. requiring them to remove theyre claims from my credit reports since they have not provided validation as prescribed by law. Im filing this complaint to your agency. I have filed a complaint with the XXXX. I have filed a complaint with the State Attorney Generals Office - XXXX XXXX, NV.

Complaint:
I sent all three credit bureaus a certified letter to have this hard inquiry investigated and removed from.my credit reports. This hard inquiry from XXXX XXXX XX/XX/18 has contributed to my hardship, stress as well as I've been denied credit and home loans because my credit score has dropped drastically due to this hard inquiry being on my reports. The three credit bureaus have violated the FCRA laws that protect consumers. They are suppose to report only accurate information and respond to dispute from consumers in a timely manner. They never responded to my requests. And it has been well over 90 days.

Complaint:
Please be advised that I have received your computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third-party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful.

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. This agency is in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1692g. They were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior, I was not. As the original creditor, only I can validate this debt. I do not validate this debt. Therefore, the following accounts must be deleted from my report.

Failure to respond satisfactorily with deletion of the above referenced account and a free copy of my report after the changes have been made will result in the above actions being taken against your company ; I will also be seeking {$1000.00} per violation for : 1. ) Defamation 2. ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. ) Violations of 15 U.S.C 1692g

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the permanent limitation placed on my PayPal account XXXX I firmly believe that this limitation has been made in error, and I would like to appeal this decision. 

Firstly, I would like to state that I have not violated any PayPal policies, terms or conditions. I have always been a responsible and conscientious user of PayPal, and I have never engaged in any fraudulent or illegal activities on this platform. Therefore, I fail to see any reason for my account to be permanently limited. 

Secondly, I would like to request PayPal to re-investigate my case thoroughly, and to take into account any evidence that I can provide to support my claim. I strongly believe that if my case is reviewed again, the mistake that led to the limitation of my account will be rectified, and my account will be restored. 

Lastly, I would like to emphasize that my PayPal account is of great importance to me, and it plays a vital role in my daily financial transactions. Therefore, I would kindly ask you to expedite the investigation process and restore my account as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me at the email address XXXX if you require any further information. 

Yours sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
Repayment status since XX/XX/XXXX, IBR payment {$0.00} + PSLF enrollment. 
I was put into an un-requested administrative forbearance in XX/XX/XXXX due to Chapter XXXX notification : qualifying PSLF payments are not being counted for this time frame and another time frame in from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX due to employment change. XXXX got the certification from BOTH employers, there was no break in employment. 

The Mass. Attorney General Sued XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for : For borrowers on track for PSLF, the lawsuit alleges that XXXX XXXX   engaged in a variety of activities ( such as paperwork delays and erroneous determinations ) that forced people into forbearance instead of qualifying PSLF payments, or it failed to properly count qualifying PSLF payments. These actions caused thousands of PSLF-eligible borrowers to be in repayment far longer than they otherwise would need to be under the program.

This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!
