Complaint:
I have an installment loan from XXXX, and I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there was a late payment on my credit report, I called XXXX and they said their system mistakenly put me on paperless billing, which I did not request, and it caused my 30 day late. As you can see, I have always had a stellar payment record. I tried contacting XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX with no successful resolution. XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX reporting me 30 days late in XX/XX/2023. There was an error on their part. I was never 30 days late.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
When I mailed in dispute I highlighted two specific XXXX XXXX accounts that were not listed in my name along with date they were opened. Experian disputed and removed the one XXXX XXXX account that was NOT listed/highlighted and that reflect the date opened XX/XX/2021 and that was listed in my name having me listed as an authorized user. This account is and has been mine. Not only did it drop my score but now says I have no open credit and took my score of XXXX down to XXXX. I contacted XXXX XXXX and was informed twice that my account couldn't be reinstated because it was closed by a credit bureau. Spoke with Experian who told me they could not help me that XXXX XXXX had to request for reinstatement. I had XXXX XXXX to submit request. So far this has been a 30day process. A mistake that easily could have been avoided by checking the open dates I provided on original dispute I sent in this is causing me emotional distress.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was 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.

I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist.

Court, ( CD California 2014 ) ; you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of discharged accounts.

I request this under 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the false reporting isnt removed ; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995 ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

I opened a XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card with Chase on XX/XX/2022. The intro offer during this time was 5 free nights, worth up to 50,000 points each when spending {$5000.00} in the first 3 months. 
Documented here on XX/XX/2022 : https : XXXX : XXXX Documented here on XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX Documented here on XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX //creditcards.chase.com/travel-credit-cards/marriott-bonvoy This is also documented by numerous Chase affiliates : https : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX https : XXXX : XXXX Chase has told me that they now can not honor this offer because I " did not qualify ''. They said my account was set up with a 3 free night ( each at 35,000 points ) bonus and there is nothing they can do. 
I was told this offer was email only ( nowhere in the terms or advertising documented is this specified ) and that the offer had certain criteria I did not meet ( again, nowhere is this documented or communicated ). 

Chase is using false advertising to gain customers and is not honoring their advertised offers.

Complaint:
I had multiple XXXX XXXX transactions on my credit card and debit card and, after noticing several expensive items were missing from my home, I called the police. My cousin was subsequently arrested and admitted to making the transactions with her boyfriend. A warrant was issued for her boyfriend but he had not been found yet. I called and Disputed all the transactions with Self financial and provided them with the arrest report number. However, they forgot to close my card and even more transactions came after. I now got a notice in the mail stating that they determined no error occurred even though there was an arrest made for the fraud. It is difficult to even speak with someone and when you do, they have no knowledge on the subjects. This is a fake company and they make money on others hardships.

Complaint:
I have tried for the last two months or so to update my business PayPal account with a new bank account. I was first told by a representative that I could not add a new account at that time because there was a security block on the account that prevented me from adding a new account. I was told to wait 24-48 hours and to try again. I waited, tried to add the same account, and was still told that it could not be added. The representative transferred to their supervisor who straight told me that the system won't allow me to add that account.

So... I waited for a few days and tried a different account with the results, being told that there is a security block and I would have to wait 24-48 hours. I tried after 48 hours with the same results. Again, I spoke with a supervisor who stated " security block, 24 -48 hours ) but this time they said to NOT do it through my PayPal account but to call in. 

That was Monday the XXXXXXXX XXXX. Today, Monday XXXX, well over 48 hours, I call PayPal to add the bank account and was told that they can not add it. I kindly asked the agent to try a different account and, once again, that account could not be added either. I asked for a supervisor, and I respect this supervisor 's transparency even without showing any real concern for my issue.

I was told that I have added and removed too many different bank accounts over the TWENTY ( 20 ) plus years of my PayPal account and that the " system '' will not allow me to add any new accounts and that there is nothing they ( PayPal ) will do to fix it. 

While I know that are Term limitations for adding the SAME bank account a fixed number of times, I have NEVER seen anything stating in clear account details or restrictions that there is a limitation over the life of the PayPal account for different bank accounts.
