Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (CT)

On XX/XX/2021, I sent to XXXX XXXX, through Venmo, a company dedicated to transmitting safe, fast, social payments, {$300.00}. As required by Venmo for verification purposes, I provided XXXX telephone number. 
Venmo did not pay XXXX the {$300.00} because her Venmo account was frozen due to activity that triggered security alerts. As suggested by a Venmo agent, I paid XXXX the {$300.00} outside of Venmo, by check, and requested reimbursement of the money by Venmo. Venmo has refused to reimburse the money because it allegedly paid a different XXXX XXXX.

This is XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint with the help of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to dispute the erroneous account reporting on my Credit File. I was told to pay the balance of the account : XXXX XXXX XXXX with an account number : XXXX to have this account settled. However, I was baffled to see this account reporting as a negative account upon receiving a copy of my updated Credit Report. The Company promised me to have this account removed if I paid it, and I did so. This account was already paid, giving no rights to be reporting on my Credit File. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I am requesting that this accounts be completely removed from my Credit File.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY)

On XX/XX/2023, I received a notification from my bank that my personal checking account was overdrawn by {$2900.00}. JP Morgan Chase credit department, not authorized by me, put through a full statement payment instead of the minimum payment that I had previously authorized through automatic payment. I called Chase, disputed the charge and had this investigated. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received alerts for my credit bureaus that my credit line was decreased, and the credit utilization increased from less than 30 % to over 100 %. Chase informed me on my call to them, that they reduced my credit line from {$14000.00} to {$1600.00}. I believe this action to be retaliatory, because I have another account with chase that was unaffected. The same account ending in XXXX that was disputed for the {$2900.00} was in fact the only account that the credit line was reduced. To date, Chase has not reported any delinquent payments to my credit bureaus. This is because Ive never been late, which warranted a report to the credit bureaus. Instead, they did more damage to my credit by reducing my credit line, and increasing the credit utilization. This was handled with carelessness and lack of professionalism. This debacle resulted in additional and unnecessary credits to my account and resulted in my credit amount increase drastically to {$5800.00}. In conclusion, this was all done to cover an error performed by the Chase credit department. Your prompt response in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Despite the previous written request, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).
