Consumer complaint received 2019-07-13
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (MD)

Complaint:
I have been receiving phone calls since at least XX/XX/2019 from an automated system that says they are from PayPal. There has never been any voicemails left or any type of communication via the mail or email. They are apparently trying to collect a debt in the range of {$7000.00}. I do not owe PayPal any money and the entire scenario makes no sense at all. I am unaware how a person would be able to get in debt considering that a person can only use whatever amount they have in their PayPal account. If there is no money, then no purchases or payments will be processed! I blocked the number, XXXX, because they call throughout the entire day, starting at XXXX EST up until XXXX EST. Also, PayPal is all automated and website based, so it is almost impossible to actually speak to a real person! I am being harassed constantly and it has been going on for months! This needs to end!

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

Complaint:
I am the victim of identity theft. Upon knowledge of the violation, I spoke with Police and obtained a report, obtained an identity theft affidavit which I had signed and notarized. I included all of the fraudulent accounts as well as my ID and mailed it to the credit bureaus. XXXX and XXXX immediately removed the accounts. However XXXX came back said that my police report wasnt sufficient. Equifax completely ignored my statements and have refused to remove items from my credit report within the 5 day period as stated on the FCRA. After calling day in and day out to resolve this conflict, a dispute center manager from another country refused to assist me with moving forward and notified me that it will take 45 days for the items to be removed. The items were mailed on XXXX I was then notified on XX/XX/24 that the disputes sat in a P.O. Box for 2 weeks before being opened. These credit bureaus are criminals who outsource vital information to people in call centers who barely speak English. Someone who doesnt have a social security number shouldnt or wont be effective in resolving conflict with the bureaus and consumers shouldnt have to deal with credit bureaus negligence. Customer service reps at all of the bureaus need to be fully knowledgeable about the FCRA and the governing laws that they must abide by. Despite me reading my disputes and going over the FCRA, the dispute manager refused to assist me with the timely removal of the inaccurate info. My investigation numbers are XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I sent all of my documents together so it SHOULD be under one number but because they are so unorganized they extenuate the circumstances and handle resolutions very carelessly. They must be held accountable. They should also remove XXXX XXXX information as well.

Complaint:
This is a follow-up to my previous complaint in which I urgently requested the removal of fraudulent accounts and associated information that the Credit Reporting Agencies have been erroneously reporting on my Credit File. I am aware that, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b, the Credit Bureaus are legally obligated to expunge any and all accounts and information resulting from fraudulent activities. I implore you to assist me in promptly eliminating the following items from my Credit File : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. It is imperative to emphasize that these items are entirely unfamiliar to me and should never have been included in my Credit File. If the Credit Reporting Agencies contend that these disputed items legitimately belong to me and that they possess the legal rights to report them on my Credit File, I demand that the Credit Bureaus provide me with copies of the documents they have purportedly discovered to substantiate these claims. In the absence of such documentation, I expect nothing less than the immediate removal of the disputed items.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (GA)

Complaint:
I have been a customer of Synchrony Bank since my first Belk card in XXXX. Since then, I have maintained several Synchrony Bank cards ( Amazon, PayPal, Lowe 's, Belk, TJMaxx, Dick 's Sporting Goods, JC Penney, Old Navy, XXXX XXXX, Sams & XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) with payments always over the minimum requirement with sometimes two payments per month. I went to make a small purchase at XXXX on Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX & was surprisingly declined & found out from the store clerk that the account had been closed. We also were making a small purchase at Lowe 's & was also declined. Lowe 's looked up my account on another  register & discovered the account had been closed. After I became concerned, I called Synchrony/XXXX first & they told me the account had been closed on XX/XX/XXXX. I received two letters today -- one regarding my JC Penney account ( attached ) & a letter ( attached ) regarding my Synchrony / Conn 's account ( with a {$7000.00} limit ) which has been paid off since XXXX. Synchrony / Conn 's stated that they closed my account due to non-use. Not only has this caused a severe inconvenience, but it has also seriously impacted by credit score. This past XX/XX/XXXX, we made large payments to some of these accounts to ensure the balances were lowered. I have worked very hard to establish my credit & feel my credit on these accounts should be reinstated. These cards have not been abused in any way, some with little or XXXX balance.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (MI)

Complaint:
On or around XX/XX/2019 I was approached at the XXXX XXXX by a XXXX/American Express representative who was offering a promotion for increased miles. I told the agent that I already had a XXXX XXXX card and was not interested in getting a new card. They advised that was not a problem. They took my card information and had me sign a document and then said that I was eligible for a promotion through the XXXX/American Express Platinum Card. When I reiterated that I did not want to upgrade my card they informed me that it was just checking to see if I would be eligible for the offer and that I could choose to sign up or not for the Platinum card once I received information in the mail. Instead, I received a new Platinum Card in the mail. I contacted American Express on XX/XX/2019 and spoke to multiple agents, supervisors, and individuals in the customer retention department. Despite my conversations and even requests to speak with someone in the fraud department ( as I felt I had been defrauded ). I was told I had two options. I could keep the platinum card ( which has an annual fee that is {$100.00} more than the one I currently have ) or I could downgrade to the card I initially had ; however, doing so could put me at risk of being ineligible for future upgrade promotions. The could not just make me whole again and remove future ineligibilities. They claimed that nothing could be done, despite me being signed up against my will or knowledge. 

I would like to be in the position where I determine if and when I sign up to upgrade or change my credit cards.
