Complaint:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

State: MO
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
According to the Navient settlement, I should be filing this complaint I believe. I had a bunch of Navient loans, and I filed bankruptcy in XXXX. I was advised I could not put my loans on my bankruptcy.. I was denied consolidation and forbearance of my loans due to my debt to income ratio, that coupled with the sheer number of the loans that it took to complete my education. they also somehow kept many of my loans out of default, despite me not being able to make payments on them since the minimum monthly on each equaled more than my monthly income. I ended up with several loans registered as current, that had not been paid on since XXXX HOWEVER, several of my loans DID go into default, and the lenders consolidated with a debt collector, rather than me, and then garnished me for years, which they continued to do for MONTHS after the federal freeze on student loan repayments due to Covid they mustve garnished me an additional 4 to 6 months at least after that student loan repayment freeze. I was making XXXX an hour and paying over XXXX a month in garnishment due to both the loan repayment, coupled with their debt collectors fees, because they simply refused to consolidate for ME when I tried.. that wasnt good enough. I also should mention the entire duration of my four-year degree I was receiving Social Security XXXX, and had been since the late 90s?. Im about to file for a second bankruptcy now due to what these loans and garnishments have done to the REST of my lifes debt.. theyve impact EVERYTHING, not just themselves. Ive been denied housing, dental care, My dog has been denied medical care.. ALL because of them.. and thats just the tip of the iceberg that stuff people dont think about I cant even do scratch pay because of them..

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Managing, opening, or closing your mobile wallet account

Complaint:
I transferred money into my US Paypal account on XXXX of XX/XX/2023 in the amount of {$9700.00}, where it was immediately put on hold by Paypal. They mentioned that this is a " Tax ID Hold '', and if I did not provide any form of US Tax ID, they would take 24 % of the amount and send it to the IRS as withholding tax. I was immediately unable to use any of the funds. 

Given that I opened this account while I was a student in the XXXX, I'm not a US tax payer, nor do I have an ITIN or SSN that could fulfill this Tax ID requirement from Paypal. I'm from XXXX and I pay tax in XXXX. 

Having shared this information with them, including a filled IRS XXXX indicating that I am not a US tax payer and as such, the funds should not be taxed or held, Paypal proceeded to limit my account and prevented me from withdrawing any of my funds. Further communications with Paypal representatives were not helpful as no one could acknowledged the specific tax issue I had, and instead shared generics about why the account was limited, and there were no guarantees given by Paypal that they wouldn't send 24 % of the funds as withholding tax. 

In addition, now that they have limited my account, they are withholding my funds for 180 days without any justification. 

The Paypal case reference is XXXX.

State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan

Complaint:
I have a $ XXXX HELOC with TD Bank and borrowed $ XXXX against it for appromixately 1.5 months. I paid {$150.00} of interest when I paid back the principal and was susequently billed for an additional {$130.00} of 'residual interest ' and dunned repeatedly by staff for late balance. Nowhere in the online transaction history is there an accounting of how interest is posted or calculated so that I can determine if it is an appropriate amount to be charged before paying. The interest owed is not posted on online transaction history. Together these interest amounts seem high relative to the period the principal balance is outstanding. And without these details posted the customer has no transparency to determine the fairness. I have no ability to determine if they are charging me for amounts in excess of the time period for which the principal balance was outstanding or using some other deceptive practice to create a higher than 8.7 % effective APR. 

I am now waiting for a " payoff statement '' to come in the mail, so that I can determine how this additional interest is calculated before paying. TD says they are unable to email me this information. And as previously mentioned, it is not available in the online transaction history. 

When speaking to the customer service rep she acknowledged that there has been a lot of " complaints '' about this. It doesn't seem reasonable that a product can go to market that assesses interest without clear and transparent methods posted in the online transaction history. Especially coupled with aggressive collection methods, posting of late charges, and written notices that they will report delinquencies to credit bureaus.
