Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (CA)

Dear PayPal, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the permanent limitation that has been placed on my PayPal account with the email address XXXX. I believe that this limitation has been placed by mistake, and I would like to appeal this decision. 

Firstly, I want to emphasize that I have not violated any PayPal policies or engaged in any activity that would warrant the permanent limitation of my account. I have been a loyal and active user of PayPal for many years, and I have always ensured that my account complies with PayPal 's policies and guidelines. 

Given my clean record and my compliance with PayPal 's policies, I strongly believe that the limitation on my account was placed in error. I would like to request that PayPal re-investigate my case and restore my account if possible. I understand that PayPal has a duty to ensure the security of its platform and to prevent fraudulent activity, but I firmly believe that my account does not pose any such threat. 

I kindly request that you take a fresh look at my account and reconsider your decision to permanently limit it. I am confident that a thorough investigation will reveal that my account is in full compliance with PayPal 's policies and that the limitation was placed in error. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and your prompt response. I hope that we can resolve this issue amicably and restore my account as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your consideration. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX ]

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from XXXX Bank where they lowered my credit limit for the following four reasons : 1. Lack of Real Estate Secured Loan information.

2. Average time since accounts opened is too recent.

3. Average time since revolving accounts opened is too recent.

4. Too high proportion of accounts recently opened.

This automatically affected my credit score. Regarding the four listed points, I have the following observations : 1. False. I have never had a real estate loan since the beginning of my credit history.

2. No more accounts have been opened since the beginning of the business relationship with XXXX XXXX 
3. See point 2.

4. See point 2.

Additionally : a. I have always paid before the due date and have paid more money than requested.

b. They can verify that the only change in my credit history was reported by XXXX XXXX, so this is what affected my credit score. 

Therefore, there was no reason for them to lower my credit limit. I am not interested in using credit with XXXX at the moment, but for my personal and professional future, it is very important to take care of my credit score. They should have found a way to NOT affect my credit score. Right now, this will affect me drastically as I obtained a job where I will require financing and because of the lowered score, I may end up being affected.

I hope you can resolve my problem as soon as possible. I have a family to feed. Thank you.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: DISCOVER BANK (CO)

In XX/XX/2020 I opened a saving account at Discover bank, my opening deposit was a wire from my brother on a mortgage payment he owed me. The deposit was {$7700.00} everything was fine the bank allowed me to spend off about {$1100.00} of it. Then for some reason about a week later, and for reason they refuse to disclose, the account was frozen. I was told at the time that I would have to have my brother reverse the wire. Well the account balance was then much less, and the transaction had already settled. It was not possible for the wire to be reversed a week later. Then some months later they told me I would have to wait for the time frame to expire, and thus it would be given to State Unclaimed Property Division. I would be able to claim it that point. 

To this day Discover Bank has held my legitimate deposit and funds to no avail. I have submitted countless documents proving the funds and any other reason I could think of to satisfy this unknown issue. To this day I still get yearly interest statements and I want this resolved and my money out of there custody. They will not even talk to me about the issue and act very very strange while on the phone. Over the years I have contacted them at least a dozen times regarding this issue.

Bank is not releasing my money. Check payees are verified, pretty sure it's a cashier 's check. They say they can not verify XXXX 's phone number. XXXX is the XXXX the account was held at that was closed out and the check issued. Their phone number is listed on their website, consumer information sites, government websites- and is a 1800 number that they pay for and register to themselves. Chase bank 's loss prevention department says it is not verified in their system ( that is based off of public record ) so they can't call it to verify funds. I have provided email correspondence from XXXX verifying the check. They refuse to release my funds. There is no number verified in their system to call and verify the chrck- though it has already cleared and they are just holding my money. It is XXXX This is negatively impacting every aspect of my life and causing extreme problems. I can not retain custody of my children over this. I can not purchase a vehicle. I have food insecurity.

My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I reside at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. My contact number is XXXX, and the loan in question is number XXXX. 

Currently, I am in the process of selling my home and purchasing a new one, primarily due to the high interest rate on my existing mortgage. In this endeavor, I have been collaborating with the Loss Mitigation department and the VA, diligently following a mutually agreed-upon plan. However, I have encountered significant discrepancies in my credit report. 

Upon review, I found several derogatory marks and an erroneous listing indicating a missed payment for the previous month, even though I have made the payment. This error is detrimentally impacting my credit score, hindering my ability to secure a new mortgage for another home. Without resolving this issue, I risk defaulting on my current mortgage. 

In light of these circumstances, I am reaching out to the CFPB for support in rectifying these inaccuracies with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Your intervention is essential to ensure my credit report accurately reflects my financial conduct and assists in my housing transition.

Previously we have n't been escrowing for homeowners insurance and then independently Nationstar did not update the mortgagee clause nor set this up as non escrowed account then tried to first force place insurance and then not post a payment due to the escrow shortage. Even with showing proof of insurance they are now trying to force me to escrow even though i have this set up to pay with our insurance company causing me to stay on hold for over an hour to correct their errors. Still not convinced they are going to handle this correctly.

This will be my XXXX dispute letter sent to TransUnion and XXXX. 

As a reputable credit reporting agency, I expect that these companies would always provide accurate and reliable information to financial institutions and other organizations that rely on their services. Unfortunately, my experience with these companies has fallen far short of this expectation. 

As mentioned in my previous letters, Trade : XXXX XXXX XXXX with an Account Number XXXX, has long been deleted in XXXX on XX/XX/2023. ( see attached file for XXXX previous feedback ) In addition, I would like to bring to XXXX 's attention the inaccuracies in my credit report regarding my Date of Birth and Previous Address. Despite providing my drivers license for verification, it seems the information has not been appropriately updated. 

These inaccuracies in reporting this account are concerning, and because of these unfair practices and mishaps, I demand that the above-mentioned account be promptly deleted from my credit history due to these errors and oversights.
