Dear CFPB, I am filling a complaint regarding unresolved issues with my credit report. 
On XX/XX/2024, I submitted a formal dispute to the credit bureaus addressing numerous inaccuracies and unauthorized inquiries. Despite 31 days passing i have yet to receive any acknowledgment or resolution, These inaccuracies, including falsely reported collections, have led to service denials and increased interest rates, impacting my financial well being and my ability to secure essential funding for me, my business and life goals. Despite multiple attempts to dispute these items, i have no received adequate verification. And I will also mention that the items listed negatively that i am disputing are falsely reporting. 

According to section 611 ( a ) of the FCRA, the credit reporting bureaus are require to address the disputes within 30 days. Since this has not occured, I am demanding the immediate removal of the inaccurate items from my credit report. 

The failure of the credit bureaus to respond promptly has caused significant harm as well as their falsely reporting of information. I am prepared to purse legal action if the issue remains unsolved. 

Thank you for addressing this matter promptly. 

XXXX XXXX

I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

I am filing a formal complaint regarding two inaccuracies on my credit report, which I have repeatedly disputed with the credit bureaus. Despite my efforts, the bureaus either claim the items have been " verified as accurate '' or fail to properly address my disputes. The details of the accounts in question are as follows : XXXX ( Account Number : XXXX ) - Reason : Identity Theft This account is not mine. I have submitted a fraud affidavit, police report, and other supporting documentation under the protections of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), which allows for the blocking of fraudulent information due to identity theft. However, the bureaus have continued to report this item and provided no meaningful explanation for how it was verified. When I contact XXXX directly, they refuse to give any information, citing my identity theft report. As per XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable investigation, which they have failed to do. 

XXXXXXXX XXXX  ( Account Number : XXXX ) - Reason : Failure to Send Billing Statement, Late Payments Reported in Error XXXXXXXX XXXX  has reported late payments for periods during which I did not receive a billing statement, a clear violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) 1666 ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 ). Under the FCBA, a creditor is obligated to send a billing statement at least 21 days before the payment due date, and failure to do so voids any late payment penalty. Additionally, the inaccurate reporting of these late payments also violates the FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ), which mandates that furnishers of information report accurate and complete information. Based on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Mortgage XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), I am entitled to have these inaccuracies corrected, and my account updated to reflect positive payments.

I am sure you are aware that it is against the law to threaten suit without any intention of doing so. Therefore, be advised that I am extremely serious about filing suit against your company. I have sent numerous letters requesting for you to investigate and remove all inaccurate information that is being reported on my personal credit profile, yet you continue to fail to do so. 

It is my understanding of the law that you MUST honor each and every request to investigate incorrect information and you seem to have ignored all of my previous requests. That is a XXXX clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act which provides a cause of action for an individual consumer as well as penalties and liabilities for both consumer reporting agencies and furnishers of information for non-compliance as violation of its provisions. 

As I stated before, this is my final request for you to do as you are governed by the FCRA. If this final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of the accounts in question, I will be forced to file suit against your company in the county in which I live. That way, you can travel here in order to defend yourselves.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (IA)

This morning PayPal emailed me that my account has been permanently banned and I can no longer use it. They gave no reasoning behind this, nor the opportunity to appeal.

I called their customer service line and got someone who stated they could not tell me why I was banned and I could not appeal the decision. I asked for a supervisor and once they came on they also stated they could not explain why either. I asked for another supervisor and they stated that I could go no further, they no longer wanted to do business with me, and that they would hold any funds for up to 180 days or permanently. I told them that was illegal and they said I would have to consult with a lawyer if I wanted to seek legal action.

I called a second time hoping to get someone more sympathetic, and I was told the exact same thing. This representative told me to try setting up a new account under a different name and email and maybe it wouldn't get banned.

I have had this PayPal account for over 10 years and have never had any issues. I do not use my account for anything illegal or against their policy to my knowledge. I feel that if there was an issue I should at least be given the chance to correct it before they outright ban me and steal my money. 

I am seeking my account to be reinstated and in good standing.
