XX/XX/2022 To Whom This May Concern XX/XX/2022, I received a letter from the Federal courthouse stating they do not report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus nor to any other individuals.

However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit report obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.

I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the handling of fraudulent items on my account with Credit Bureaus. Despite reporting these unauthorized transactions promptly, I am dismayed by the prolonged delay in their removal, causing undue stress and inconvenience. 

I discovered fraudulent transactions on my account statement, which were not authorized by me. Immediately upon discovery, I notified your company 's customer service department and filed a report detailing these fraudulent activities. However, I am disappointed by the lack of urgency and efficiency in resolving this matter. 

As a loyal customer, I expect timely action to rectify such issues and protect my financial interests. The continued presence of these fraudulent items not only undermines my trust in your company but also poses a significant risk to my financial security. 

I urge you to prioritize the immediate removal of these fraudulent transactions from my account and take proactive measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Additionally, I request transparent communication throughout the resolution process to ensure clarity and accountability. 

Failure to address this matter promptly will compel me to explore alternative avenues to protect my rights as a consumer, including but not limited to seeking assistance from regulatory authorities and legal counsel. I am asking for your assisstance to remove or these fraud items in my credit file : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction bynthe consumer. I submtted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information was affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX date breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

As to what happened, I have described this in details including all documentation in the document attached called " Mail XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. 

My dispute with PayPal is described in details in the document : " Dispute History of PayPal Dispute XXXX '' and my further chat with PayPal is described in details in the document : " Chat with PayPal from XXXX to XXXX '' I am filing this complaint against PayPal, who facilitates financial transactions between dubious XXXX vendors who use a convoluted business set-up in the US leaving the American consumer with little to no chance of getting their money back because the business set-up used cuts the legal obligations between the XXXX XXXX and the American consumer, because there is a middle company between the American consumer and the XXXX company and this is unknown to the American consumer at the time of purchase. Use of the middle company in California seems to have no other purpose than to make it more complicated for the American consumer to deal with the aftermath and logistics when the products don't show up at all, are damaged or show up and are then not at a good quality. 

Furthermore, the American consumer is being lured into thinking that they are placing an order with an American company and not a XXXX XXXX, and the XXXX company XXXX Co exhibits deceptive marketing by advertising Father 's Day Hot Sales and then products are being shipped on a slow boat from XXXX and are delivered over a month after Father 's Day in the XXXX.
