I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

I am presenting this complaint to inform you that my credit with your company appears to have been compromised. Despite submitting an FTC report, I have noticed that certain items are not being removed. This is my new attempt to address the issue of misleading credit reporting. I am disputing these items as they do not correspond to any transactions for goods, services, or money that I have conducted or authorized. I request the removal of any incorrect information from my credit file : Equifax : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} ; XXXX XX/XX/year> ; XXXX XX/XX/year> -- -- -- -- XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00}. The items in question are unfamiliar to me. Moreover, other credit bureaus have already deleted this information, leading me to doubt its accuracy and the reported payment history. Under FCRA 605B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( C ), you have the authority to rescind such items.

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to be removed.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Despite my multiple attempts, the situation remains unresolved. I believe it is essential to provide an overview of the numerous attempts I have made : I first discovered the fraudulent items on my account and promptly contacted your customer service department. I clearly explained the situation and submitted the required documentation. I was assured that the issue would be resolved. To my dismay, I had still not received any updates or resolutions. I trust that your organization takes issues of fraud and customer satisfaction seriously, and I am hopeful that this matter will be resolved promptly and to my satisfaction. If this issue is not resolved within the exact timeframe, I will have no choice but to seek legal counsel and report the matter to the appropriate regulatory bodies. The lack of resolution has taken a severe toll on my financial and emotional well-being.

So, I'm formally asking for these accounts to be blocked and removed. It's important to stress that this request is not a mistake, and it's not based on any false information regarding why I want these transactions blocked.

My partner and I have a XXXX safety training business, we've been in business for 8 years and have always used Paypal ( my partners account ) for student enrollment Since my partner is retiring, I opened a Paypal account since he wont be part of the business. 
I opened the Paypal account to aid in my online firearms safety teaching student sign ups. I figured it shouldn't be a problem since we have used them for the past 8 years. 
I opened the account on about XX/XX/XXXX XXXX students immediately started signing up for classes and paying thru Paypal XXXX Once the class was finished on XX/XX/XXXX, I proceeded to make a transfer of the class fees to my checking account. suddenly i noticed that my account was frozen for 6 months suspicious activity. I immediately called Paypal, I finally talked to a representative and was not given any explanation for the freeze. They claimed that they didn't have to give any explanation and refused to release my funds. I'd appreciate any assistance that you can give regarding getting my funds released. It's not a huge amount of money but, I'm not a rich guy!

I have disputed these accounts several times, even years, with no response. When I request debt validation they never respond with the information I request. They are in violation of the FCRA. I have included all the disputes that I have made to them, and despite this they ignore me, how is it possible that they treat me like this, the truth is I am tired of fighting and I feel Vulnerated ... What an injustice. That's why I need you to help me.

For the accounts, I requested a detailed Validation and certification test where you verify that Copies of all disclosures provided regarding the sharing of my non-public personal information with third parties, as provided in 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( b ).

A copy of the records used to verify the cancellation of my accounts.

An update on the status of the disputed cancellation, reflecting any corrections made based on my dispute. But such were not provided or answered as legally required by law for my consumer rights.
