Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CT)

On XX/XX/2021, Experian reported my FICO score as XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, my score was lowered to XXXX. I did not open any new accounts, did not run up any credit card balances, had no late payments and no change in my debt to income ratio. Additionally, none of the other credit reporting agencies have lowered my score. 

When I called Experian, I was told that there were no negative factors in my credit report that would have caused my score to drop. When I asked if there was someone that I could talk to who could explain why my score was lower, I was told that there was no apparent reason and that I should hire a licensed credit counselor! 

If Experian can just randomly lower my score for no apparent reason, I wonder how many other people are being damaged in the same way. 

Please investigate this situation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Connecticut E mail XXXX Cell- XXXX

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (MA)

On XX/XX/2023, I attempted to purchase a camera from a seller using Paypal. I communicated with the seller through XXXX XXXX, where we discussed details for the trransaction. The seller agreed to ship the camera for a total cost of {$1200.00}. I sent the payment as a XXXX & XXXX payment on Paypal. Once completed, the seller asked me for a screenshot of my verification, since the payment was pending. Afterward, the seller agreed to ship the item on XXXX, XX/XX/2023. 

The night of Thursday, XX/XX/2023, at approximately XXXX XXXX  XXXX  I recieve a potentially suspicious email from Paypal saying that I had made a dispute against the vendor of the camera for a total refund of {$1.00}. I did not initiate this, and the vendor fraudulently impersonated my identity to accomplish this. I did not click on any links within the email and instead went to my desktop computer to verify within my Paypal account what was going on. There was in fact a dispute made on my behalf. I immediately try and call Paypal, but they do not have live support at this hour of the day, unlike many other financial institutions. There was nothing I could intuitively do through their automated voice menus. 

I had to wait until the morning of Saturday, XX/XX/2023, to call and navigate through voice menus to get to a human representative. I explained them my issue, and after being put on hold, they said that they can see the dispute was submitted via the automated phone service, and that they would have to escalate this internally, and gave me a new ticket number for my case. However, I received no confirmation of the ticket in email, my account still shows the fraudulent dispute, and I am unable to re-dispute because of XXXX system. My identity was stolen and a fraudulent charge was forced to stick onto my account because of XXXX policy, which do not allow for disputes to be reopened, which provides a vector of attack for scammers and fraudsters. 

Paypal fraud support states that their system makes it impossible to reopen it once closed and ended up drafting me a letter to send to the bank stating that it is indeed a scam and they do not have the ability to now initiate the true dispute on their end as it is a limitation with their dispute system. 

You cant really do much to prevent it since their call in system is less secure than online. You can have XXXX factor authentication, passkey, all set up; but all the scammer needs to do is call PayPal by phone to get around this.
