Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I am listing accounts and inquiries 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 and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit. 

Items that need attention : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date open XXXX. XXXX, XXXX Balance : $ XXXX DAYS LATE late dates XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to request that two bankruptcies be removed from my XXXX and Experian credit consumer reports. I am a real person by myself writing to you. Despite providing numerous supporting documentation and evidence that the bankruptcies are not mine and were dismissed based on what they told, XXXX and Experian have failed to remove the incorrect information from my credit report. 

In fact, I have contacted XXXX, another consumer reporting agency, regarding the bankruptcies and they have confirmed that the bankruptcies are not mine and have been removed from their report. XXXX, another consumer reporting agency, has also removed the bankruptcies from my credit report. However, XXXX and Experian continue to report the bankruptcies, even though XXXX has confirmed their inaccuracy and removed them from their report. 

Moreover, XXXX and Experian claim that they have verified the bankruptcies with public records based in last complaints and too the XXXX and their respective state, but I have personally visited the court and was informed that they did not receive any verification requests from XXXX and Experian. It is possible that XXXX and Experian used XXXX to verify the bankruptcies, which is not an appropriate method for verifying credit report information. XXXX is intended for " judicial use only, '' and not for public use or for verifying credit report information. 

I believe that XXXX and Experian are violating my consumer and privacy rights by continuing to report the incorrect bankruptcies on my credit report. Therefore, I would like to invoke the following laws to support my request for the removal of the bankruptcies : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) - This section requires consumer reporting agencies to investigate disputes within 30 days and remove any information that can not be verified.

Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) - This section requires consumer reporting agencies to follow " reasonable procedures '' to ensure the accuracy of the information they report. 

Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681c - This section requires consumer reporting agencies to provide accurate credit reports to consumers. 

Given the evidence and documentation I have provided, and the fact that XXXX has already removed the bankruptcies from my credit report, I believe that it is clear that the bankruptcies are not mine and should be removed from my XXXX and Experian credit reports as well. It is important that the CFPB investigate XXXX and Experian 's actions to ensure that they are complying with federal law and protecting consumers ' privacy and credit rights. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (NJ)

PayPal signed me up for their Online Credit unknowingly. I was making a payment for my eBay order the way we normally do. But this time PayPal tricked the interface by opening XXXX windows and had me clicked XXXX yes/no 's, the interface was so confusing and misleading, it appeared that I was making normal payment for my order and PayPal was asking some additional questions to validate my identity. The fonts were so tiny and interface was so misleading that no one would come to know that PayPal was actually gathering DOB and last XXXX digits of SSN for credit approval, they were basically tricking me. 

I am closely monitoring and maintaining my credit score. I dint wanted any hard inquiries on my credit w/o my approval. But PayPal had fraudulently invaded my privacy. That is not acceptable.

Issue: APR or interest rate — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MD)

As of my XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Chase Visa statement, my only balance was {$6900.00} which was entirely related to a 0 % APR balance transfer I had processed thru my Chase Visa account in XXXX. This balance transfer includes a 0 % APR that does n't expire until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Between XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I added {$3800.00} in new purchases to my Chase Visa card. Since I knew I would incur finance charges ( at my regular 10.24 % APR rate ) immediately after these NEW purchases were posted, I paid off these new purchases a week later by paying {$75.00} on XXXX and {$3700.00} on XXXX ( Total= {$3800.00} ). Rather than applying my payments to the higher interest rate balance, Chase applied most of my payment to the 0 % APR balance. I wrote a complaint to Chase Visa, but got back a messy canned response that repeated several sentences ( obviously a bad copy and paste job ) that claimed that all postings to my account were done correctly. Should n't Chase have applied my payments to the higher APR such as is mandated by the CARD Act of XXXX?

I simply can't access XXXX or Experian. I was able to get one from XXXX last year but not now. I don't know if a previous address wasn't reported to them but I get knocked out of the online and phone applications when I answer to the best of my ability. Actually I was told today by a bank lender she couldn't verify with XXXX so she called me and said my maiden name was listed instead of my married name. ( I have a SSAN card with official married name since XX/XX/2015!!!! ) So why waste my time mailing an application when who knows if my information will match theirs. This is impossible! Except for the lenders who buy from them I see. They can get the information right away. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX veteran with XXXX trying to get a VA Mortgage and they ask me arcane questions I don't remember ( some phone number from years ago, etc. ). This is making me feel hopeless. Just get me the reports, please!!!

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (CT)

I opened a new checking account with Citizens bank in XXXX 2014 with a promotional offer of {$200.00} that I received in the mail. The requirements in order to receive the offer were to make an initial minimum deposit and then at least five debit card transactions in the following month. About three months after I had completed the above requirements, I had not yet received my promotional credit, so I went into the branch and they told me that I should be seeing the credit by the end of XXXX. Come XXXX, I stopped into the branch office again to bring up the issue. They looked into my account and confirmed that I had met the requirements, but would have to investigate further because they do n't have any information on which teller opened the account for me or the promotional code that she entered for my account. A few days later, they called to tell me that they could n't find my name and address in the record of people that they distributed that specific promotion to. Unfortunately, I did not have this coupon saved from six months ago, so there was no way for me to show them the coupon that I clearly remember receiving in my mail. After speaking to the manager about the situation, he offered to credit {$100.00} to my account and told me there was nothing else they could do because my name did n't show up in their list of " selected individuals '' to receive that promotional credit. I feel like Citizens is using misleading promotional offer as a marketing scam to attract new customers and then hoping they either forget about the actual credit or telling them months later that they are n't eligible to receive the offer after they had already completed the stated requirements.
