On XX/XX/XXXX I applied for and was approved for a line of digital credit by PayPal called " PayPal credit ''. The advertisement from PayPal was a 6 month promotional period to pay off any purchase of {$99.00} dollars and up with no interest. I made a purchase that same day online which came to {$110.00} dollars, and it was by a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I made the purchase I then logged a day after to my PayPal account to check the balance and a message ( included ) that the terms have changed and that regardless of the promotional period of paying the balance in 6 months, a minimum monthly payment would be applied. I did not immediately see any problem with this since a bill for {$15.00} was included and of which I paid. A day later another bill for {$27.00} due for XX/XX/XXXX, and I was a shocked at this because from the disclosure I read before applying to their line of credit was never a mention about this. I was deceived with this erroneous information and today Saturday the XXXX, I called PayPal and spoke to a lady which was adamant I pay {$27.00} for 6 month ( which does not total the {$110.00} of the purchase price using the PayPal line of credit ). This is on top of the {$15.00} I paid for within a mere 24 hrs of making the purchase. I told her 6 months times the randomly {$27.00} selected by PayPal comes to {$160.00} which clearly is including interest charges. She replied that I would " not let that happen because I will pay in full ''. I said of course I will pay in full and will close the account because had I known PayPal was going to be deceitful about information pertaining to their product I would not have applied and risked a credit inquiry going to my credit report records.

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal and detailed complaint against Venmo, a mobile payment service, for grave violations of privacy, potential breaches of consumer protection regulations, and possible infractions of Florida banking statutes. The following comprehensive account outlines the distressing issues I have experienced : Privacy Violation : Venmo consistently requested ID verification and mishandled my personal information, constituting a severe violation of privacy. 
Unauthorized Access and Hacking : My Venmo account was hacked in XX/XX/2023, bringing into question the efficacy of Venmo 's security measures and the protection of user accounts. 
Failure to Resolve Unauthorized Transactions : Despite reporting unauthorized charges, Venmo neglected to promptly address and resolve these issues, compromising the financial security of its users. 
Customer Service Concerns : During my interactions with Venmo representatives, I encountered unprofessional behavior, including representatives hanging up and providing conflicting information, significantly diminishing the quality of customer service. 
Potential Violations of Florida Banking Statutes : Florida Statutes, Chapter 655, Financial Institutions, governs banking activities in the state. Venmo 's actions may have run afoul of these regulations, necessitating a thorough examination. 
My Story : In an attempt to address these issues, I willingly provided Venmo with my ID, successfully verifying my identity. However, the unauthorized charges persist, and Venmo 's inconsistent responses have caused considerable distress and financial uncertainty. 
Request for Investigation : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau conducts a comprehensive investigation into these matters to safeguard consumer rights and hold Venmo accountable for any breaches of privacy, consumer protection regulations, and potential violations of Florida banking statutes. 
Supporting Documentation : Enclosed, please find supporting documentation, including communication records, ID verification attempts, and evidence of unauthorized charges. 
I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and anticipate a swift resolution that upholds consumer rights and financial security, consistent with Florida banking statutes. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Yet TRANSUNION is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency.

Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated '', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. TRANSUNION and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities.

I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

I have made two attempts to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report with Equifax by sending certified letters.
