Complaint:
I'm using my rights as a Consumer to dispute inaccurate information of my consumer report. First Progress is reporting a charged off on my consumer report with a balance of {$190.00}. This was a secured credit card and which I made a {$200.00} deposit to open the account.

I sent out a 2nd letter on XX/XX/2021 to follow up on the investigation and still nothing. It clearly states in the F.C.R.A. 611 ( a ) That a failure to investigate a dispute within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove the items included in the dispute from the Consumer Credit Report. It has been over ( 43 Days ) for Equifax and ( 32 days ) for XXXX before they responded to my dispute hence they are in violation of the F.C.R.A. so the items listed in the disputes should be removed promptly. I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or i will be forced to file for litigation to protected my Consumer Rights. My sensitive data was compromised during the Equifax data breach my information has already been violated once and I stand firm in exercising my Consumer Rights. All of my evidence is attached to this compliant as well confirmation of my identity.

Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I had made a payment ofXX/XX/XXXX with it being a Saturday on Pennymacs website. The Pennymac had my credit unions information listed. On XX/XX/XXXX which is a Tuesday I had this emailed sent to my PennyMac confirming that my payment was processed and approved. From : **Automated Message** When : XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Re : Loan # XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX , We have successfully processed the Payment transaction scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX, for the amount of {$1000.00}. Sincerely, The PennyMac Team On Friday the XXXX I had started to wonder why the money was n't taken out of my bank. I had tried emailing and calling the company. When I had called the company the automated phone line had said that my payment was received and processed. I could n't even get a live person if I tried to. Today Monday XX/XX/XXXX I hear back from a representative saying my Subject : Payment From : PennyMac Loan Specialist When : XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Re : Loan # XXXX XXXX XXXX, Yes, we received the payment you made on XX/XX/XXXX and it was returned by your bank unpaid as " Account Closed '' on XX/XX/XXXX. Your account is still do for the XX/XX/XXXX payment. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be of service. XXXX I am confused on how a payment can be processed on XX/XX/XXXX with a confirmation and than today I am now first learning that it was sent back by my credit union. When I had contacted my credit union today they had told me that I have a active account also I ended up using my bill pay to send off the payment. I am now getting a late fee for a payment that I was n't made aware that was even late. I honestly do n't believe they would even told me anything. I also just received a notice saying my escrow is in the negative when I had enough money to make the insurance and tax payment. I just feel this company is out to get consumers. I am not the first and wo n't be the last to have this company investigated. I just want to make others aware of this company. This is the 2nd time I have used the site to make a payment and this happens. I can promise I will never use the site again and always use my credit union. Once I find a different lender I will be gladly switch over.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MT
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, PayPal allowed identity thieves to make a transaction with a company named XXXX XXXX for {$760.00}. I discovered the activity because it emptied my bank account. I submitted a claim with PayPal to report the unauthorized charges. The company acknowledged the transaction resulted from fraud, evidenced by case ID : XXXX XXXX 

Despite PayPal 's admission that the charges were fraudulent, they continue to reach into my bank account in an attempt to recover the payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, PayPal attempted to withdraw XXXX from my bank account. The unauthorized charges once again over-drafted my bank account. 

According to the company 's customer service representatives, PayPal will continue withdrawing money from the victim 's account until the fraudulent charges are satisfied. Customer service informed me that PayPal doesn't require authorization from the victim. 

It seems impossible to rectify the situation using the company 's online and over-the-phone customer service. After mentioning fraud, the representatives disconnect the phone.

Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Complaint:
I applied for a Walmart 's credit card, on XX/XX/XXXX, according to the details in my credit report, and, yes I was approved but I never had received the credit card and the credit limit on the credit card was in the amount of {$600.00}. I had then contacted Walmart 's credit department at their corporate office in Texas when I was told by a representative that the card was sent out, I then told the rep. that I had never received the credit card, the rep. apologized and asked me if I would like them to resend the credit card and I replied, " yes '', but once again I never received credit card again. I contacted Walmart again and requested that the card be cancelled. The card was cancelled on XX/XX/XXXX, according to my recent credit report, but that doesn't seem accurate because in approximately 3 or 4 years ago, there was debit charge amount of {$400.00} affecting my credit score by Walmart because someone had or was using my Walmart credit card illegally and I'm sure that Walmart was in accessary to it, which is why I'm making this complaint against Walmart, regarding their fraudulent involvement in this matter. I had to make complaints against Walmart 's bad behaviour before in the past, so I know how disruptive they can be. Also, in my credit report regarding this Walmart credit card, it states that the credit card was paid out and then closed, but how could that be when I never used or received a Walmarts credit card, ever! It also states in my credit report that a Walmart charge account was opened and then closed in XX/XX/XXXX, and I don't know anything about that neither. Also, I recently contacted Walmart to try to get some important info regarding this mysterious, fraudulent item on my credit report, like the account number, but Walmart wouldn't cooperate like they should have, on XX/XX/XXXX. They also had tried to lie to me by telling me that there was only one account after they had already told me that there was 2. I know that Walmart knew that the credit card would be intercepted after they had sent that card out to me, they are involved in this fraud.

Complaint:
Starting from the date of XX/XX/2022 I sent investigation letters to credit bureaus. I requested to " investigate every piece of information '' of multiple accounts that I will list below. ACCOUNTS WERE REMOVED AND IMMEDIATELY PLACED BACK ON MY CREDIT REPORT, So I have also attached copy of tracking numbers from sent letters and copy of credit report. 

According to the FRCA 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.

With that law being QUOTED, the bureaus stated that their investigation of accounts were verified, but how is that possible if there wasn't a proper investigation according to the law stated in above paragraph. And as a result, every piece of information on these accounts are not reporting one hundred percent accurately. FRCA 15 USC 1681 ( e ) STATES, EVERYTHING HAS TO BE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ACCURATE. WHICH NEITHER OF ACCOUNTS, THAT WILL BE SEEN BELOW IN DOCUMENT UPLOAD SECTION IS NOT ACCURATE.

Complaint:
I closed my account with AAdvantage Mastercard on XX/XX/XXXX. After closing my account, and paying the final balance, I set my email notifications from AAdvantage to my junk mail. In XX/XX/XXXX, I saw a bill in my junk mail from them for {$150.00}. I did n't know what it was for so I called them. They said after I closed my account they received another charge on the account for {$15.00} and processed it. Over the next few months that turned into {$150.00}. They said they 'd escalate it to remove the charges. They called me back XX/XX/XXXX, and told me I would have to pay the full amount. They said there was a loop hole in the law that allowed them to accept that charge. I was upset, but I did n't think there was anything I could do, so I payed the balance. I saw another email today with charges from AAdvantage after I canceled the card, and paid the closing balance twice. I want to make sure these guys do n't do this to anybody else. Although my first charge is unethical, as was communicated to me on the phone by their representative, it it within the law. This second charge is illegal. I do n't like when companies take advantage of consumers. This has taken a lot of my time and money to resolve. AAdvantage is acting illegally and is taking money in bad faith.
