Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I have opened a charge account with " XXXX Bank ''. it is NOT a credit card. But it supposed to report to the credit bureaus to improve the credit score, the reason why i applied for this account. But unlikely, it destroyed my credit score. 

Because the Term " Balance '' in the credit card system means we as the consumer are owing some money to the creditor, which the higher, the more negative ; but when we come to the debit cards, the word " Balance '', means the money that is sitting in the customer account, which the higher, the more positive. 

So this account currently reporting the money that i have in my account, as a debt, as a " Balance '' under its negative definition as mentioned above. 
this is showing a high utilization on this account, which has dramatically decreased my credit score. I called the credit bureaus, and the bank several times. but seems that XXXX bank people are not familiar with the credit report system, and kept reporting my MONEY under the Balance Category instead of reporting it under the LIMIT category.

Company: Security Credit Services, LLC (MI)

A couple of years ago I opened an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX thru XXXX XXXX I bought a carpet cleaner and was having payments taken out of checking account automatically, my bank XXXX contacted me and they thought my account was having fraudulent activity so they cancelled card and issued a new one. I had called why not lease it and told them not to use card as it would be invalid and I would call when I received new card well they used my inactive card ( I 'm not quite sure how many times ) but for awhile it was 2 time a day and each time it was rejected they charged me another XXXX dollars? When I received my new card I called and told them the new # and thought everything was fine but When I went to apply for a home loan my agent informed me that I had this account overdue much to my surprise so I called the company that XXXX XXXX XXXX sold it to and paid the bill this wasXX/XX/XXXX and still even though my credit report states XXXX they are still reporting this every month and messing up my ability to get a home loan. I called XXXX XXXX and spoke to XXXX and she told me they wo n't quit reporting even though my account is XXXX. She also said they would continue for 7 years. Totally unfair as I did not even know this debt existed! I thought it would come off my report since I had paid it I have read numerous complaints about this company Can I get some help??

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

Equifax initiated disputes with three accounts on my credit report with out authorization. I submitted in writing requests to remove any remarks regarding old disputes against XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. Equifax stated that since there were no remarks regarding disputes on those accounts that they initiated disputes. They further stated that since the disputes are under investigation they cant stop the disputes. 

I did not request these disputes and do not want to dispute the accounts. 
Thanks you,

I am XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint.

They neither removed nor responded to my request which I believed to be against the Federal Credit Reporting Act 's rules. Thus, I am sending this complaint to seek help and assistance to help me block the concerned items for they were found erroneous and unauthorized.

Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (MI)

I performed XXXX  XXXX for two customers who paid me {$1900.00} via Paypal on XX/XX/2019, and {$600.00} via Paypal on XX/XX/2019, respectively. These customers filed a dispute with Paypal against me claiming they didn't receive what was purchased and subsequently withdrew the paid funds out of my personal bank account to hold until the disputes were resolved. Both disputes were resolved in my favor and Paypal credited my online wallet the money that was taken. Here are the details for each dispute and notice of the results from PayPal from XX/XX/2019 : We're happy to confirm that the following case was decided in your favor. We've credited your PayPal account for {$1900.00} USD. Here are the case details : Case ID : XXXX Buyer 's name : XXXX Buyer 's email : XXXX XXXX   XXXX Buyer 's transaction ID : XXXX Your transaction ID : XXXX Invoice ID : XXXX Transaction date : XX/XX/2019 Transaction amount : {$1900.00} USD Disputed amount : {$1900.00} USD This case is now closed and there is no further action needed. 

and then received on XX/XX/2019 : We're happy to confirm that the following case was decided in your favor. We've credited your PayPal account for {$600.00} USD. Here are the case details : Case ID : XXXX Buyer 's name : XXXX Buyer 's email : XXXX Buyer 's transaction ID : XXXX Your transaction ID : XXXX Invoice ID : XXXX Transaction date : XX/XX/2019 Transaction amount : {$600.00} USD Disputed amount : {$600.00} USD This case is now closed and there is no further action needed. 

PayPal redeposited these funds into my account so now I have {$2500.00} sitting in my account, however, PayPal closed my account prior to the settlement of these disputes and has blocked me from transferring my money back into my personal bank account. They withdrew these funds from my personal account when the claims were filed and by doing so, prevented me from being able to pay my mortgage payment that was already behind on. I'm facing foreclosure because of all of this money taken out of my account. Meanwhile, PayPal sits on my money and is most likely making interest off of it for each day that they hold on to it! When I called their Customer Service Department, I was told that it would not be release for 180 DAYS!!!! 

There has been no account activity since XX/XX/2019, when PayPal restricted the use and blocked me from sending or receiving any funds. It's been over 2.5 months since my account was used, so there is no reason why PayPal shouldn't deposit the funds BACK into my personal bank account from which they withdrew the money from in the first place. The amount I owe to my mortgage company is less than the amount that PayPal is holding and refusing to refund. 

I respectfully request help in resolving this matter so I can save my home from foreclosure. Thank you.

I called Transunion after I purchased a credit report from XXXX on XX/XX/2022. After receiving a copy of my report, I saw these UNVERIFIABLE account on my personal profile, I noticed that there was an Account : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX on my credit report which are UNKNOWN to me. This is disappointing because I have been paying XXXX XXXX  to get a report every month and I have been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report all this time. One of the staff told me to visit https : //www.ftc.gov/ and Report the Fraudulent accounts and have them BLOCKED OR REMOVED from my credit file. Ive attached a copy of the identity theft report ( FTC report # : XXXX ), and guess what I found? Per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B ( a ) the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days with ( 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 by the consumer.

A copy of my Bank statement drivers license, and Social Security Number are all included in this complaint. I want you to know that I am telling the truth and by Transunion not blocking this account is inadvertently resulting in me being extorted.
