On XX/XX/XXXX I sent XXXX XXXX a letter requesting to validate the debt showing on my credit report. They never responded. I then sent a follow up letter on XX/XX/XXXX. Again I never received a response from XXXX. 

I attempted to dispute the debt on all three credit bureaus but they stated the debt was confirmed by them and would not be deleted.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (TX)

I bought XXXX EBAY gift cards around XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX : Details given Below : Gift Card number : XXXX was bought on XXXX. It should have {$100.00}. It does not have any remaining balance. 
Gift Card number : XXXX was bought on XXXX. It should have {$200.00}. It does not have any remaining balance. 
Gift Card number : XXXX was bought on XXXX. It should have {$100.00}. It does not have any remaining balance. 
Gift Card number : XXXX was bought on XXXX. It should have {$200.00}. It does not have any remaining balance. 
Gift Card number : XXXX was bought on XXXX. It should have {$200.00}. It does not have any remaining balance. 

The gift cards were purchased at EBAY website from seller PAYPAL. EBAY and PAYPAL were owned together at that time. 

These gift cards could only be used at EBAY.com and nowhere else. I have proof of purchase emails available and furnish as necessary. 

All these gift cards have been fraudulently used by someone and zeroed out. EBAY Fraud detection team acknowledged that but they are not helping me further at all in recovering the {$800.00} or any part of it. 

I want the answers to the following questions : Which ebay users registered in which countries used these gift cards? I want the user 's verified addresses and names so that I can raise a civil lawsuit against those people. 
What is the action that EBAY has taken against these users for using my gift cards? 
What is the transaction history of the gift cards? 
What are the fraud prevention measures that EBAY took before people trying to redeem my gift cards? 
How many gift card balances did those user ids check before trying to use my gift card? 
How long those user ids are active and are they still active? 
How many of these gift cards are being fraudulently used everyday? 

I did not buy these gift cards from third party but their erstwhile sister company Paypal and from EBAY 's website. 

If Ebay can not safeguard the gift card usage by people, then they should have a fiduciary responsibility to stop selling gift cards everywhere. 

It seems like ebay condones people from stealing gift cards of others without punitive action. 

I need more answers than a cookie cut and paste response. 

Could you please help taking my case up with EBAY to get all these details? 

Also, could you please help me getting my money back from EBAY?

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft.

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

I filed a dispute with Transunion concerning an account from XXXX that was on my credit report that did not belong to me. The account I disputed is listed as : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX It has been over 30 days since I originally initiated the dispute online. Transunion sent me an email stating the investigation was complete and I was allowed to look at my updated credit report online. When I pulled my Transunion credit report, the XXXX account was still reporting, only this time there was a statement that read : " The following item is suppressed pending credit grantor update '' pertaining to the XXXX account. I called a Transunion representative and inquired about this, in other words, what does this mean? The Transunion representative stated that this meant I was the only one that could see the XXXX account, no other creditors would be able to see this. I asked him if my investigation was complete and he said " yes. '' I asked him to please remove the account and he said he could not, that it has to stay on my credit report for 7 years. This is unacceptable. XXXX needs to either verify that this account does indeed belong to me or simply delete the account. That 's what is stated in the FCRA. No where does it state in the FCRA that an account can be suppressed pending credit grantor update after the 30 days has taken place to complete an investigation. Transunion has had more that 30 days to complete my investigation. Please advise them to delete this account from my credit report since XXXX did not verify this account within the 30 day time frame allowed by law.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

I reached out to capital one to advise them of an charge that had taken place on my account. I was told by the merchant that has caused the pending transaction that it could n't be stop and I should reach out to the card holder directly. Which landed me with the rudest off shore agent I had EVERY encountered named " XXXX '' XXXX. He did n't attempt to help me at all when asking questions he repeated the same dialect repeatedly. I asked that he please not say the same thing again and thats when it started. He said that I was n't listening and if I payed attention their was nothing he could do. While I was talking he continued to talk and when I got louder so did he. He was yelling and I said that you dont get to yell at me I am the customer. He in return advises that I was talking loud so, so could he. He continued to rant as I advised him of his horrible service and the fact that he was being very unprofessional. He said I can talk to a supervisor because they are going to do and say the same thing basically. After I advised the agent of how disrespectful and nasty he was he said thank you so much ma'am for that, and anything I said after he was purposeful attempting to get a rise out of me. I could n't believe this was happening so then I made the suggestion he get the supervisor as he mentioned before. When I was transferred I still was in disbelief of what just occurred. I had never felt so disrespected by any company and truthfully felt like my account was in jeopardy because this guy had access to it. I told the manager of what took place and she attempted to help but with no true resolve, I told her that I was going to immediately close my account and dissociate my self from the company solely on the actions of the rep which did n't seem to really concern her. My dispute was finally opened when I continued to reach out to the company and I continue to express the fact that once this is resolved and completed I will be closing this account. It does n't really seem to matter much to anyone I speak with there which is why I cant believe Capital One stands for agents like this. They advertise the fact that they are suppose to care and have your best interest in mind however I see that 's only unless you need them to correct an action. Highly disappointed.
