Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IN)

I recently conducted a review of my credit report and found several items that have caused me significant distress. These items appear to be unverifiable, inaccurate, and questionable. Your agency has failed to ensure the accuracy of the information as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Reports. This statute mandates that consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 
Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information, you are required to promptly delete or modify any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable during a reinvestigation. If you are unable to provide me with verifiable proof of the accuracy of the disputed items within 15 days of your investigation, these accounts and the related information must be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I do not recognize any of the alleged creditors or debt collectors. I have never entered into a valid contract with any of these entities, nor have I engaged in any transactions with them. As such, these accounts are fraudulent and may be the result of identity theft or other illegal activities. Attempting to enforce these fraudulent accounts is unlawful. I request that you expedite your investigation to prevent further harm, losses, or damages that I may suffer as a victim of identity theft. 

Moreover, under the Fair Credit Billing Act, my right to privacy has been violated, and this breach infringes upon my rights as outlined in The Privacy Act of 1974. Removing the inaccurate and fraudulent information from my credit report will help restore my privacy and prevent further violations.

To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes.

I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation and to determine responsible parties in this unauthorized credit inquiry. As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed on my behalf, so that I may verify its validity. If you find that I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this. Finally, I am requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed above.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

I am a victim of identity theft. When I discovered this theft I filed a police report and investigated my various credit reports. Upon review, I found an account at Capital One that was not opened by me or with my knowledge or consent. I disputed this account directly with the credit bureaus and it was removed from my report, however, about a month later it returned to my credit report and I was told that the creditor suggested that this account was mine and to have it remain on my file. This is not the case. I understand that payments were made on this card but these payments were not made by me. It is my understanding that this card was opened online and sent to an address that was deemed fraudulent. Police report is attached here.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (NY)

On XX/XX/XXXX my PayPal account was terminated for being " in violation of PayPal 's Acceptable Use Policy. '' I was told that the money I had in my account would be frozen for 180 days. I spoke with two customer service employees about this at the time, who confirmed that my funds would be available to me after the 180 day period. On XX/XX/XXXX, nearly two weeks before the 180 days were up, PayPal withdrew the funds from my accounttotalling $ XXXX no prior notice or warning. I've called PayPal several times and spoken with several customer service representatives who have told me " the back office is investigating this. '' But then I never hear anything from " the back office. '' After conducting some research online, and discovering that a class action lawsuit has been filed against PayPal for this very thing, I'm convinced that PayPal is engaged in fraudulent activity by seizing people 's money and justifying the seizure through the application of an unlawful and unenforceable liquidated damages clause that amounts to a contract of adhesion. The liquidated damages provision and the seized funds have no relation to any actual damages suffered by PayPal and amount to nothing less than fraud.
