Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 
The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (SC)

On Saturday, XX/XX/ 2023, I applied and was approved for Paypal credit, with a limit of {$2600.00}. After a couple of days of trying to use it and not being successful, I contacted Paypal and was told that there was a limitation on my Paypal account due to a negative balance on a past account that had been set up through a job I had a few years ago. I was told that the debt had been sent to a collection agency and to contact them to resolve the balance, and that once I did that, the limitation would be lifted and my account access would be restored. I contacted the collection agency and confirmed the debt. It was for {$100.00}. I paid it on XX/XX/2023, in two separate transactions, one for {$70.00} and one for {$30.00}, and then uploaded the receipts to Paypal. I waited until XX/XX/XXXX and when I still couldn't access the money in my Paypal account nor my credit line, I reached out to them again. I was told to wait a few days for it to clear on their end and then everything would be fine. So I waited. And waited. And waited. I contacted Paypal customer service via phone 21 more times and via chat 8 times, spending nearly an hour or more on the phone each time. I just kept getting transferred, and hung up on, and ignored, and flat out lied to, even told at one point that the limitation had been lifted when it obviously hadn't been. This has been going on for nearly XXXXwo months now, and it has begun to really affect my family financially. My wife is having our third child in less than 3 months, and the fact that I can not access my credit line or my money that is in the accountit has caused a terrible financial strain that could've been avoided. Which is causing stress on myself and my pregnant wife, who is already considered high risk. There's literally nothing stopping them from fixing this issue. All I keep hearing is that their back end office is dealing with it, but apparently there's no possible way to contact this supposed back office, and they have failed to meet their deadline of 3 to 5 business days so many times it's almost laughable. All I want is for them to lift the limitation on my account, because I met the requirements to do so in XXXX, and I have saved every chat and phone call history to prove it. I don't know what else to do. Please help me.

I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

" 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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "
