Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (MD)

I have an account at Paypal and I am constantly getting fraudulent requests for payment. There is no easy way to cancel these requests, and Paypal keeps saying it will automatically pay the fraudulent requests if I I don't cancel immediately. I try to report these to Paypal as scams, but 1 ) to report them, it logs me out every time ( there is no real way to report since it automatically logs you out to do so, 2 ) The virtual assistant keeps freezing up when you use the word " scam '' or " fraud '', and 3 ) it won't permit me to block these accounts because it says I have to send them an email letting them know that I want to block them ... there is NO BETTER way to get scammed than to let them contact me on Paypal with fraudulent requests THEN SEND MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO THEM. This is conduct that is facilitating a fraud and you should hit Paypal with a massive fine for this conduct.

There are items on my credit report that are not true, incorrect, not mine, unverified and not my responsibility on my credit file. I am a victim of identity theft. According to 1681 c 2, you must remove and block any information of a consumer in which the consumer identifies as information resulting from alleged identity theft within 4 business days. I have provided the consumer reporting agencies with notification of my identity theft on XX/XX/2022 and XX/XX/2022. As of this moment, the fraudulent accounts remain. My rights as a consumer have been violated. No account can be furnished on my credit file without my written consent. I have given no written consent. This is a violation of 15 USC 1681 a 2. I am demanding that you cease and desist all forms of communication of these fraudulent accounts directly or indirectly to any person through any medium. My consumer report is being used as the medium. Communication is happening when the false accounts on my identity theft report are being illegally furnished on my credit file. My financial reputation has been damaged. I am dealing with mental distress due to this defamation. If these accounts are not deleted immediately, I will not hesitate to take immediate legal action against you and any other furnishers of these false, non-compliant accounts on my credit file.
