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

Complaint:
Hi, My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX I have recently opened a PayPal account and provided all the required documentation asked of me. Upon opening the account at the start it was limited within 10 minutes with no explanation - upon ''resolving '' the issue using PayPal 's own guide I provided further documentation to identify who I am and the account was working- only to be limited again, but this time permanently. I have seeked out PayPal through XXXX as their own website is very hard to find help on as hundreds of other people are having this same issue. I have spoken to a couple of people using XXXX messenger and can provide all the proof/evidence you need. No explanation as to why my account was limited/closed- just for ''security reasons '' is not acceptable as either it is an error on their end or my account has been compromised either option is unknown. I am hoping to use my PayPal account for my business and all I have got so far is ''you can no longer use our services ''. PayPal has not been helpful at all in trying to resolve this issue and I can provide any documentation to prove that it is me. If you do some looking around the internet, the last couple of days I have found countless posts about people who have this EXACT issue. The person who handled the issue was named XXXX. I will provide ALL interactions with PayPal and screenshots below, thank you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC
Product: Credit reporting 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:
Initially I had a hard inquiry on my credit report from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 when someone used my identity to try to start a line of credit with them. I was able to speak with XXXX XXXX and after a few weeks they sent me a letter stating the application was fraudulent and they would be sending out a letter to the credit bureaus requesting deletion. After this happened I put a credit freeze and fraud alert on all 3 of my accounts with the credit bureaus. Now on XX/XX/2023 the name of the inquiry has changed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC, it has the same date as XXXX  XXXX and everything. Soon as XXXX XXXX sent me the letter stating it was fraudulent the name of the inquiry changed but with the same date. I dont know how this company magically appeared on my credit report when I have it frozen and a fraud alert on it. It only showed up on my XXXX and Transunion as XXXX had removed the fraudulent hard inquiry from XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023. Im not sure why a new name is popping up on my inquiry list for the exact same date. I spoke with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in XXXX NC, and a guy named XXXX, the finance manager said they hadnt pulled my credit and I wasnt in their system, yet theres a hard inquiry on both my XXXX and Transunion stating otherwise. He told me that he couldnt give me a proof of deletion letter as that would be admitting they pulled my credit when they didnt. Yet theres is proof that I showed them via email, where their companys name is on my credit report under hard inquiry. I have not given this company or any company to pull my credit. I am not sure what is going on, I thought everything was handled when XXXX XXXX sent me the letter admitting it was a fraudulent pull, now this inquiry has popped up 3 weeks later but with the same date as the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  but now the XXXX  XXXX inquiry is manically disappeared with no letter from either credit bureau stating a removal, only thing happened was a change of name.

Complaint:
To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing your organization to view my credit history. Therefore, your inquiry into my credit report violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 1681b ( a ) : Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports as well as Section 1681b ( c ) : Transactions Not Initiated by Consumer. 
If you are in possession of any documentation bearing my signature that you believe authorizes you or your organization to make inquiries into my credit report, I respectfully request a copy be sent to my address listed above. 
For the sake of clarity, I will not accept any documentation that does not bear my signature authorizing you to make an inquiry into my credit file. Otherwise, anyone having stolen my identity could be behind this unauthorized inquiry. And YOU would be in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Complaint:
I have another case open. 
COMPLAINT ID XXXX SUBMITTED ON XX/XX/2022 I'm now facing another situation caused because of this pending case on the issue of a balance transfer being pulled twice from the XXXX  credit card by Discover and being charged for 2 balance transfer fees. Now because they pulled this twice, my account with XXXX had a negative balance, which was fine however, when I originally did the balance transfer it said that the most I could transfer was {$8100.00} for a 18 month 0 % interest. But discover did the balance transfer twice and now they are charging me interest and due payments on the second balance transfer and the balance transfer fees. These are completely unacceptable practices. If I'm have a pending case regarding something that effects interest, balance transfers, and fees than my whole account should be put on hold. I had high hopes for Discover as a new credit card for me, my family, and our business but my hope is diminishing very quickly! Completely shocked at the actions of this company.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, DISCOVER BANK added a derogatory mark on my credit report per XXXX. Upon further research, this account was settled/Paid in full. I am no longer responsible for the account. The debtor 's creditor did not verify this collection. Also, there was NO written form of communication, contract, or writing signature for this accused debt at all. A bill without a writing signature does not validate the debt, and anybody can send a bill and say it's mine. According to the FCRA, DISCOVER BANK has violated my rights as a consumer, and I'm requesting legal action to remove this account immediately.
