Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (FL)

This complaint is against PayPal. I sent my mother {$40.00} Via my PayPal account to her PayPal account. Immediately after I sent it I realized I had sent it from my credit card instead of my debit card. I contacted my mother and she immediately initiated a refund. All this happened in less than 2 minutes. I also called PayPal and requested a refund. I was told that they saw where my mother had initiated the refund process and that the money would go back on my card immediately. That did not happen. I contacted PayPal through XXXX. ( I have a copy of those conversations verbatim. I am uploading the entire conversation between me and several PayPal associates. ) I was told that they were waiting for my mother to initiate the refund. I let them know she had already initiated the refund. I contacted them again using the same message. This time a different customer service rep replied. He said they were waiting for my mothers bank to return the money and as soon as that happened PayPal would refund my money to my cash account. I informed him that my mother never sent the money to her bank that she initiated the refund immediately. The next person to reply told me I had already received the refund and it was in in my cash account. I screenshot my home page and it showed {$0.00}. The next person told me that PayPal was waiting for my mother to initiated the refund. My mother sent me a screen shot of her account that showed she had initiated the refund and it was completed 4 days prior to this conversation. I uploaded that screen shot. The next one told me they had already refunded it to my credit card and I should receive it with in 5 business days. Its been 7 business days and I still haven't received it. I contacted my bank and they say they have not received any refund from PayPal. Read the entire conversation that is uploaded between me and PayPal. The last one to respond also told me it was already refunded to my card. Again I contacted my bank and they have not received anything from PayPal. This was yesterday. I want my {$40.00}. I am including the transaction number and my PayPal email. XXXX XXXX # XXXX

My dad and I have made several attempts to get this issue resolved wih the bank but thier response from thier fraud deparment has always been to close te claim over and over again insisting that I gave permision hat I authorizd one of the transactions and ignored alerts. I was first told that my funds would be restored with in a week then the claim was closed. I was then told that I needed a police report so i did so with XXXX Police department. I was then told to write a hand written letter and it had to be faxed for security reasons this was done also an faxed. All the while my claimes were being reopened and then later closed. My dad finally contacted FDIC and was refered to this organization. Bank of America told you in thier response that they had no knowledge that my dad had any authrization to recive information on my acount when I have given consent for him to help me every step of the way. I recived a letter inthe mail from cfpb with Bank of America 's response from XXXX XXXX stating the response with her contact information. I called her and she stated that I did not respond to the fraud in time and that they only hav a small window of time to work in. All I want for them to do is to do right by me and give back what was taken from me. I worked very hard for my money and I trusted them to keep it safe and now they are treating me like it was my fault that all of this happened. My account was started by my dad so why or how could they say to your organization thery dont recognize my dad as someone who speak on my behalf. I don't now why my bank acts as though this is okay to keep treating me this way.

I applied for a credit card and was denied by the credit card company telling me that my Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy what was DISCHARGED in XX/XX/2019 was showing by EXPERIAN that it was NOT discharged, so they denied me based on this information which took a hard credit inquiry as well on my credit file. 
XXXX XXXX and XXXX are showing it DISCHARGED, so l am not sure why Experian is not reporting the same thing which is on court records. 
I need Experiian to CORRECT this and send me a full credit report of my credit file by postal mail to my home address after they correct this information. 
I have tried to call them on there toll free number and you can not get no where to speak to someone live to discuss this, why do they make talking to someone so so difficult can not understand this practice. 

I ask your agency help in resolving this.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Open Dealer Exchange, LLC (GA)

I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of concern regarding certain inquiries on my credit report that do not appear to be accurate. As a victim of identity theft, I have taken necessary steps to rectify the situation and protect my financial well-being. However, it has come to my attention that several companies have made inquiries that I believe to be excessive and potentially erroneous. 

I kindly request that you investigate the following companies in relation to the mentioned inquiries on my credit report : 1. 700 CreditXXXX XXXX XXXX - Date : XX/XX/XXXX 2. XXXX XXXX : - Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX 3. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX : - Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX 4. XXXX XXXX : - Date : XX/XX/XXXX Considering the circumstances surrounding my identity theft case, I find these inquiries to be excessive and potentially indicative of fraudulent activity. I request a thorough investigation into these inquiries to determine their legitimacy and ensure compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize the importance of ensuring a watermark-set signature for validation of my authorization to check my credit. This signature serves as evidence of my complaint and supports my request for inquiry removal. It is essential to protect consumers from unwarranted inquiries and safeguard their creditworthiness. 

I intend to contact the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) and the Attorney General 's office to seek compliance and support regarding FCRA guidelines if necessary. I appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter promptly and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this inquiry removal request. I have enclosed a copy of my identification and any supporting documents that may assist in the investigation. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information or if there are any updates regarding this matter.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

After numerous phone calls with disrespectful representatives I decided to put everything in writing with an affidavit of truth and a letter of instruction explaining that I am the consumer, natural person and original creditor.

I also sent in a notarized affidavit stating facts about what happened. Please ask for the consumer reporting agency to share that with you at the CFPB.

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) no consumer reporting agency may furnish a report under the following circumstances and not other ; In accordance with written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. When I explained this Federal Law I was yelled at by a representative about what polices they follow and was rushed off the phone. I called back only lot be passed around and hung up again.

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681n any person who obtains a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose shall be liable to the consumer reporting agency for actual damages sustained by the consumer reporting agency or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater. This has everything to do with inquires that I did not consent to. When I expressed that I needed them to be removed I was again faced with policy. When I asked what laws they abide by I was told FCRA but no one was able to provide with which law stood in opposition to what I requested.

Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 I submitted documents such as my Credit Card as defined under the Truth In Lending Act as any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. I provided my PA Drivers License and a XXXX XXXX and was told this was not sufficient to process my request by it then was used to update other personal information that I gave to no CRA ( consumer reporting agency ).
