Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this letter to dispute the previous investigation conducted by your bureau regarding my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I would like to express my strong disagreement with the results of the investigation and the way it was conducted. 

Under the FCRA law, I have the right to know how the account has been validated, including the name, company, and phone number of the representative from whom the validation was obtained, the last day of delinquency, the last date of activity, and whether the company is properly reporting under my FCRA rights. However, I do not feel that a full investigation was conducted, as I was not provided with this information.

Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention that the account in question is being reported as open, which is inaccurate. I do not have an open account with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I was not provided with an original validation that contained my signature. I believe that this violates my rights under the FCRA law. 

Additionally, I have reason to believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX is actively manipulating the payment history and charging off the account consecutively with some being reported back to current after it was reported closed and charged off, which is a violation of my rights. This action is causing significant harm to my credit score and overall financial health. 

Therefore, I demand that these accounts be removed for these violations. If your bureau can not confirm that every piece of information is 100 % correct, then I ask that you remove it from my credit reporting. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the utmost professionalism and fairness. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the resolution of this dispute. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (TX)

Approximately 4 years ago, we made a furniture purchase with XXXX 's using their XXXX card. We paid off the card back then and had purchased insurance on the furniture through XXXX. We made a claim with XXXX to cover the furniture damage in XX/XX/2024. XXXX settled the claim and we opted for store credit. We went to the store to use the credit to purchase furniture. There was an overage and we paid it in full at the time of purchase ( not with the old credit card ). Only part of the order was delivered and part of the damaged items were picked up. The only remaining item was a credit we had for a damaged rug that is more than the value of the one we are still waitng for ( it has been backordered 3 times ). The sales person told us to keep the damaged rug until they can deliver the replacement. Unbeknownst to us, the store went back and charged the old/closed credit card for the cost 4 years ago of the damaged rug. We received a bill in the mail. The store told us they couldn't find where any charges had been made and would research it. XXXX people have called. The last person said that because the damaged rug had not been picked up, they went back to the original form of purchase and charged it for the full cost of the rug from 4 years ago. They did this without authorization. They should not still have access to our information to make these charges. They are free to come get the damaged rug and we will walk on the padding until the backordered rug arrives. However, it is NOT acceptable for them to put charges on a credit card for something we paid in full and NEVER tell us about it.

Issue: Trouble accessing funds in your mobile or digital wallet — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (TX)

Since XX/XX/2023 PayPal Inc has subjected me and my family to emotional duress and undue hardship/XXXX  anguish by denying me access to my own funds. On the XXXX of XX/XX/2023 I was involved in a serious XXXX XXXX XXXX that could have easily cost me my life. I was insured by XXXX XXXX  XXXX  and was issued a digital payment of {$10000.00} ( personal injury protection ). I was presented with XXXX options to receive the funds. Option 1 : Bank transfer- would take XXXX days to complete or option XXXX : have the funds deposited directly to a PayPal account for instant access to the funds. I chose option XXXX and the {$10000.00} was deposited to my PayPal account. 

I logged into my PayPal account confirmed the {$10000.00} was deposited and upon trying to withdraw my funds I was unable to do so. Since XX/XX/XXXX PayPal has repeatedly and unlawfully restricted me from accessing my own funds. My account was limited over XXXX times and I have sent in every document imaginable to prove my identity from my drivers license to bank statements, my social security card, proof of address etc. I was repeatedly informed that my transactions were being blocked by the internal security system, a security algorithm that PayPal uses to monitor transactions that is capable of making real-time decisions concerning peoples money without the ability to be over-ridden. 

I have spoken to over XXXX PayPal supervisors and have spoken to every department you can think of from the executive office to the escalations office to the global complaints and advocacy department, I have even reached out to my local media with concerns to this matter. I have spent literally sunrise to sunset on the phone with customer support, on 2 occasions nearly having a nervous breakdown. The record for the longest time spent on the phone with one of there agents was a whopping six hours and 42 minutes. There customer service front line agents are completely incompetent and offer no solution whatsoever outside the the standard " Please allow 24-72 hours before attempting the transaction again '' I have an endless amount of documentation to go along with this complaint and I am prepared to go to whatever length necessary to ensure that PayPal Is held accountable for there actions.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (OR)

I opened a CitiGold account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX under promotion XXXX, which offered XXXX AAdvantage miles after completing {$1000.00} in debit card purchases and 2 bill pays in consecutive months. I completed the terms of this promotional offer on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I secure messaged Citi to confirm I had met the terms of this offer, and received a response on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that I did indeed complete the requirements for the offer, and that I will receive my AAdvantage miles no later than XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I did not receive my miles by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, so I contacted Citi again via secure message. XXXX XXXX responded and apologized that the miles did not post yet, and offered to open an inquiry. Every month I have waited for the miles to post, messaged citi, and received another response stating that they will open yet another inquiry. The results of these inquiries were supposed to be emailed to me, but that has not been done. And frankly I do not care what the results are for the delay. I want the miles that I have been promised. I have been paying a $ XXXX monthly fee for this account, which is completely unfair as they have not fulfilled their end of the agreement. The marketing materials related to the promotion were entirely false and misleading, and it is absolutely unacceptable that I should have to wait 6 months from the date that I fulfilled the terms of the promotion to receive the miles that I am entitled to.
