I am a XXXX veteran who is currently out of work on leave without pay because my XXXX  for which I am rated XXXX % XXXX has been aggravatwd and I am in XXXX. These fees are getting ridiculous. I dont know why they keep adding them but at this time I can not afford to be throwing money away to unknown fees. I have tried to change the address on my account numerous times and they still have my old address which cause issues with payment because they put the payments through with the old address causing the payment to be returned resulting in additional fees.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (NY)

Venmo payment of XX/XX/22 confirmed by Venmo that Transaction ID XXXX for {$300.00} from me, XXXX XXXX ( Venmo name @ XXXX ) to XXXX XXXX ( Venmo Name @ XXXX ) was successfully sent and received, however : 1. Although I see the transaction in my Venmo App as complete, XXXX XXXX does not see any transaction and never got a companion email from Venmo notifying him if a transaction ; 2. Although both of us have called and discussed the issue numerous times, they say the transaction was successful and XXXX XXXX received the money ; 3. My phone and email correspondence to get a resolution only leads to " the transaction was successful, the recipient has received their money. Thank you for using Venmo. '' NOW TODAY I CALL MY BANK AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO VENMO TRANSACTION FOR {$300.00}. 

THEY DO SEE A {$1.00} TRANSACTION WITH XXXX XXXX WE BOTH AGREED WOULD GET US CLOSER TO UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAPPENED. 

I STILL WANT A FULL EXPLAINATION OF WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE MY VENMO ACCOUNT STILL SHOWS I PAID XXXX XXXX AND VENMO THAT XXXX XXXX GOT THE {$300.00}. 

I DID RECIEVE A MESSAGE FROM ANOTHER VENMO USER VIA THE VENMO APP FROM XXXX XXXX. HE ASKS IF XXXX XXXX RIPPED ME OFF WHEN TRYING TO BUY SOMETHING ON XXXX XXXX. 

I WOULD THINK I WAS RIPPED OFF IF VENMO SAYS I PAID XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX SAID HE SEES NOTHING BUT ITS UNLIKELY : 1. I've had personal conversations with XXXX XXXX on XXXX occasions while trying to troubleshoot this problem and if he took my money he would not have likely bothered. 

2. If my bank says Venmo never took {$300.00}, then maybe Venmo created a phantom transaction - like one does when testing a system - and doesn't realize this transaction was executed on a test system. 

Anyway, I need to know exactly what happened and why because Venmo could turn around anytime they want and take my money and say I authorized it. If its months after XX/XX/XXXX, I may not be able to dispute it with my credit card company, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Experian will not provide me with any documentation to validate two debts sent in XX/XX/XXXX, from XXXX. Both debts were immediately removed from XXXX and XXXX however, Experian removed one but not the other. I have repeatedly disputed this debt and disputes are closed very quickly by Experian without providing any documentation for the validation of this debt. Now, Experian has allowed XXXX to re-age this debt on a monthly basis. 

The company XXXX is illegally re-aging a debt not owed as I have NEVER received a bill for this debt from the original creditor, therefore violating the fair credit reporting act. The Date of first delinquency is allegedly XX/XX/XXXX, however, XXXX continues to re-age this debt monthly starting XX/XX/XXXX maliciously to make this debt appear new and/or current. After speaking with Experian Credit, they too, sent a request to Consumer Federal Protection Agency as this company illegally re-aging this debt. 

XXXX continually sends two medical invoices with the names of minor children attached versus a bill for this alleged debt. The original creditor never sent a bill or any information saying a debt was owed which is why XXXX continues to send medial invoices which are paid by my insurance company. 

All credit agencies have removed this debt, however, Experian has not, and has allowed this debt to remain and allows XXXX to re age this debt on a monthly basis. This is illegal according to Federal Law. 

A police report was filed against both XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX for fraudulently sending a debt to a collection agency then to credit agencies for a debt that is not owed as no service was provided for the debt they are claiming. 

They have intertwined medical debt ( paid by insurance company ) with this other alleged debt. My insurance company XXXX  ( federal government ) is investigating XXXX XXXX for attempting to bill fraudulently under my name for a provider/doctor I have never been a patient of or seen. Those claims were denied by the insurance company for inaccurate billing and/or billing under a doctor which I was never a patient. 

After alerting my insurance company of the fraudulent activity, the company XXXX XXXX  retaliated by sending medical invoices intertwined with an alleged bill to the collection agency XXXX who is illegally re-aging this debt monthly as I have continually disputed the nature of this debt. The nature off the debt and has continually changed to support the debt after sending documentation to Experian who shared with XXXX, however, I do not, nor have I ever seen anything from Experian sent from XXXX to validate this debt.
