This dispute is made under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681e, which mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and complete records. 

The specific item I am disputing is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX aka XXXX [ Account # XXXX ] I believe this charge-off is incorrect for the following reasons : High Credit reporting {$450.00} by TransUnion, {$0.00} by XXXX, XXXX {$300.00} by XXXX. INACCURATE. Date last reported XX/XX/XXXX by TransUnion, XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I am filing this complaint to report multiple inaccuracies on my XXXX credit report, dated XX/XX/year>. These errors are not only misleading but have also caused significant damage to my financial reputation and creditworthiness. Despite being protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), my efforts to have these inaccuracies corrected have not been addressed by XXXX. 

The specific inaccuracies I am disputing include : XXXX. XXXX XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX XXXX reported charge-off of {$23000.00} is inaccurate. This account does not reflect my financial activity, and its presence on my credit report is unjustified. According to FCRA 1681e ( b ), which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain accurate information, this erroneous report must be corrected immediately to avoid further damage to my creditworthiness. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX The balance reported for this collection account is incorrect and invalid. This debt has not been properly verified, and its inclusion violates the FCRA and the Texas Debt Collection Act. I demand its immediate removal as it continues to damage my credit report unjustly. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX This debt does not belong to me, yet it remains on my credit report. As per XXXX v. Equifax Information Services, XXXX, credit bureaus have a responsibility to independently verify disputed information. Since this debt has not been verified, I request its immediate removal from my credit report. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX This is a duplicate entry on my credit report, which is both misleading and incorrect. The continued reporting of this duplicate information violates the FCRA, as established in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This erroneous entry must be deleted to reflect my true credit history. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX Account Number XXXX XXXX The reporting of this foreclosure is misleading and inaccurate. It does not accurately represent my financial history, and XXXX has not conducted a reasonable investigation as required by XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This incorrect and harmful information must be removed immediately. 

These inaccuracies have caused considerable harm to my financial standing and have impeded my ability to secure credit and housing. I have attempted to resolve these issues with XXXX, but my disputes have been ignored or improperly handled. I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) intervene to ensure my rights under the FCRA and other consumer protection laws are upheld. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope the CFPB can assist in resolving these issues promptly and ensuring that my rights as a consumer are protected.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (FL)

I have been trying to close my PayPal account for several weeks now ( after the scam they facilitated in my previous complaint ). 

The website has presented several obstacles ( providing bank account information, etc ), which I've cleared. 

For the last week, the website has said the account can not be closed, but only references ambiguous reasons that I can't track down. 

So, I initiated customer service conversations in their messaging portal on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. The one on XX/XX/XXXX had a rep ask me to confirm my email address ( why? ) and then the conversation was " closed '' so I could not reply. 

So I initiated another customer service conversation on XX/XX/XXXX, referencing the previous one. This one was closed with no reply I've initiated a third customer service conversation, but at this point, I'm at a complete loss. PayPal could not be more obnoxious in their refusal to close my account if they tried, and I'm not at all sure they aren't trying to be. 

ALL I WANT IS TO TERMINATE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH PAYPAL, BECAUSE THEY HELP PERPETRATE A SCAM. PAYPAL IS REFUSING TO LET ME CLOSE MY ACCOUNT.

" 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.

Transunion is reporting last payment date XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX is reporting last payment date XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX is reporting last payment date XX/XX/XXXX, it should be the same throughout the bureaus. Transunion stated it's accurate, and they will not remove this account.

My account with 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 60 days to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

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!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
