Complaint:
There have been at least 12 accounts for student loans that have been fraudulently opened under my Social Security Number and I have never attended a college. I have fought this since I first seen it in 2010 and they keep telling me that I am responsible for the loans even though I never have went to college. My tax returns have been garnished for years over these loans and I really need for these to be removed and my money returned from what they took from me in Income tax refunds more than {$16000.00}.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I have contacted XXXX XXXX ( inquiry XX/XX/XXXX ), Experian Business Credit ( XX/XX/XXXX ), and XXXX. I let each of these companies know that I did not recognize the inquiries that THEY placed on my credit report. I asked each company to provide me with a written consent from me indicating that I agreed to the credit inquiry. After several hours on the phone getting nowhere with each of these companies and getting the runaround, I decided to send a formal letter to them ( each letter is attached ). I have found that most of the companies that are reporting information out on my credit report are receiving their " inquiry '' from a 3rd party and are not the actual furnisher of the data. This fact makes it even more imperative to see the written approval with my signature.

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

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was alerted that my checking account had a low balance. Upon checking the problem was a draft of {$560.00} from my PayPal account. My checking account had a balance of {$170.00} at the time. When I checked my PayPal account there was a draft created from PayPal balance account. I have never funded this account all payments come directly from my checking account. I also found an email address and another bank listed that did not belong to me, which I immediately removed. Transfers of this kind take 3-5 days to complete, so the PayPal balance did not yet show the increase of {$560.00}. I then went to my bank and tried to stop the transfer which was already complete on their end. My bank account was locked and I got a new account and debit card. After 2 days they also credited the overdraft charge back to me. It took a few trys to get a response from PayPal. By XX/XX/XXXX they had locked my account. On XX/XX/XXXX they credited the {$560.00} back to me. My account was still locked at this point, so it wasn't until XX/XX/XXXX after I was reissued a debit card by my bank that I could repay {$390.00} to PayPal. They are still requesting {$170.00} which was my bank balance. I have filed a dispute several times and they are reversing themselves and are now saying there was no fraud involved. I provided them with a bank statement from XXXX which they requested and are still reviewing. Due to my locked account I can not provide a bank statement showing the current situation.

Company: ONEMAIN FINANCE CORPORATION
State: OH
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Payday loan debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds

Complaint:
I took 2 predatory title loans out, both with the same company, OneMain Financial. The first loan was for approx. {$2000.00}. On my credit report, my first loan with OneMain opened XX/XX/XXXX. I paid about half ( {$1000.00} ) off, and then I needed money again, and they had been urging me to take another loan out, so I did, taking another {$1000.00} out. They had always been super nice to me, and I was good about keeping my payments on time. I took the second loan ( according to my credit report ) on XX/XX/XXXX. Looking at my credit report, they wrote the first loan off as the second loan would be a refinance since I still had an amount of XXXX still to pay. Everything was pretty good until I started to run into financial hardship, with my son being XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which then took money away from me in XXXX  XXXX. I suddenly could only afford basic things on my fixed social security income. That is when OneMain got really irrational, and then they started to call me multiple times a day and essentially harass me to pay back my debt. I told them multiple times that I could not make my payments anymore, and told them to repossess my car. I had a second car, so it didn't really matter. They kept on harassing me and harassing me until about XX/XX/XXXX. They would call as early as XXXX, and then as late as XXXX. They always harassed me by saying that if that I got my car repossessed ( like my wishes ) that it would destroy my credit. On the last few calls, they started to threaten legal actions ( civil lawsuit ) and that they would have the ability to garnish what little I already have. They finally stopped calling, like I said, in XX/XX/XXXX, to only find out that my account is closed apparently. I don't exactly know what this means, as they did send notification of that they were closing my account, I didn't know what they exactly did, until about a few months ago, when I looked harder at my credit reports, and OneMain closed the account with the remark " purchased by another lender ''. No other lender, or anyone, has notified me about my status. Now, I am trying to get rid of the car that has the lien on it, and I am trying to see who has the title, and my state BMV says that OneMain still has the title as a lienholder, even though my credit report says that they sold my account to another lender, and then OneMain also has closed my account clearly with them. No other lenders are showing on my credit report, only the ones that I know of. I am really confused, and when I try to access my online account with OneMain, they also say that I don't have any accounts with them. I don't know who to contact, and also I don't know how much my loan was sold for, or really anything.

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
I have called a multitude of Target customer service numbers and spoke to several employees/supervisors/managers on these dates : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - 2 calls XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX - 4 calls XXXX - 8 calls I have been having an ongoing issue with not being able to redeem the rewards associated with my Target XXXX  Mastercard. I have been given conflicting information every time with promises of escalation and resolution. Every time I call back they are unaware of the issue, say it hasn't been escalated and they will do it, and they tell me to call back. At first the issue was only with my account, the next time was told it was a global issue, and now the guy couldn't answer whether it was global or just me because he was too busy repeating the people laughing in the background telling him what to say. His responses did not even make sense to what I was asking. The girl before him decided after 50 mins she was going to pretend she could no longer hear me and stop assisting me. have called several target corporate numbers and they all keep bouncing me around. I have emailed the CEO. I can not get an answer from anyone and am frustrated with the conflicting info get each time I call. As a customer who holds a credit card, I have entered a financial agreement to use their cards/pay their interest/ follow their terms. They offer rewards for doing so. 
Because that agreement isn't being matched I at least deserve a response. But instead have received no answers, just ridicule. feel like that is complete fraud and leaves a horrible taste in my mouth that the 8th largest retail corporation can act in this manner.
