Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: FC HoldCo LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this letter to request you to remove the late payments from my credit reports as indicated in the reports. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports must be corrected or removed. 

I have reviewed my credit reports from your bureau and noticed that there are several late payments on my credit accounts that are inaccurate. I have attached copies of my credit reports highlighting the inaccuracies as well as the proof of the errors. 

I have been making consistent payments on all my accounts, and there have been no late payments beyond the initial late payment reported. Therefore, I request that you remove the negative reports from my credit report to enable me to improve my credit score.

I respectfully request that you investigate and correct the errors promptly to avoid further damage to my credit score. You may contact me if there are any queries or if you require additional information.

Using FCRA Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) and FCRA 15 U.S.C 1681

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a name change a decade ago, which I can provide documentation for - I have a court document. Before this time, I was able to take out student loans, and since then, I have been able to open a couple of chequing accounts.

However, one of the three credit unions believes that I don't exist, in that they will not provision a credit score to my financial institution during my current mortgage search process ( this being a first-time mortgage- if I could actually get one! ). None of them will verify my identity, so I can not receive my annual credit report.

So, I don't exist, and I can't take out a mortgage, or even get a credit card - and I work for a credit card company! Anything that shows up on my account for the past 10 years should be fraudulent, because I haven't even been able to use my credit for my own purposes. But I can't use my credit, and I can't even monitor my credit. 

Listen : I have the better part of a XXXX dollars in my XXXX, but I can't get a {$200.00} credit line on a credit card. 

Every couple of years, I try to resolve this, whether by contacting my financial institution for help or calling the credit agency 's call center directly. On my most recent attempt, in addition to things like phone calls, I was mailed an envelope with a security code. But because I lived in an area with significant flooding, the roads into my city were closed for several days around the time the code would have arrived. My code ended up arriving 14 days late- which is the duration of time the code would have been valid for. The same minute I retrieved it from my mail, I went to my desk to enter it, but it was too late. 

I don't know what else to do. I just want two things that every citizen deserves. I want my credit report, because I want to manage any fraudulent activity on my account. And I want to have a credit score - any credit score will do.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against PayPal regarding the permanent limitation of my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification from PayPal stating that my account had been permanently limited due to a violation of their acceptable use terms. The notification referenced selling items, which was confusing because I have never used my PayPal account to sell anything. I have only used it to make purchases and send/receive payments from friends and family. 

I contacted PayPal and spoke to a supervisor who stated that they could not provide me with any information on the ban and that there was no appeal process. I find this unacceptable and unfair, especially since I have never had any issues with PayPal in over a decade of using their services. 

I was not notified of any suspicious activity beforehand, nor was I given the opportunity to appeal the decision. Additionally, none of my purchases have ever violated their acceptable use policy, as they are all from vendors who use and partner with PayPal. 

As a result of this permanent limitation, I am now unable to fulfill subscriptions and payments that I use to run my wife 's and my businesses. This has caused a significant disruption to our operations and has negatively impacted our income. 

I believe that PayPal 's actions violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act, and I request that the CFPB investigate this matter. I am requesting that PayPal immediately lift the permanent limitation on my account and provide me with a detailed explanation of the violation that allegedly occurred. I also request that PayPal establish a fair and transparent appeals process for customers who have been subjected to permanent limitations without notice or explanation. 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I encountered financial hardship for XXXX due to a XXXX. As a result, I lost my Navy Federal checking account. I have had this account since XXXX. The account was closed due to a negative balance years ago. Then I paid off the balance and was able to get the account restored. 

For the last 9 months, I have been trying to get in touch with NFCU 's account recovery department. I left messages, you name it ... no one ever called. 

I have since filed XXXX XXXX. So I called today again after months ... and I tried to get my checking account restored. I was told that due to the XXXX XXXX  on my account that they will not be able to reopen my checking account. 

I was told two things : NFCU does not reopen accounts that were closed. I refuted the statement by the Customer Service rep, and told her if that was the policy how was I able to restore the account several years ago? 

I was told that due to the XXXX XXXX that they will not open the account. 

It is so strange because they still have my savings account opened.

Complaint narrative:
This is in reference to complaint XXXX. Transunion said that they verified this late payment, but I sent proof that I paid on time and Im still seeing it on my credit report. The only legal form of verification is a copy of their bank statement proving when my account was late. Unless you can furnish this, you need to remove this late payment According to the FCRA transactions such as payments are not supposed to show on a consumer credit report. I know that this is a billing error, and I just would like for it to be corrected. I demand this be updated to paid as agreed on all 3 credit reporting agencies. XXXX  XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Around last year time frame I have a balance of around {$660.00} with an aspire credit card. I called to pay the balance down and they lady over the phone explained to me that I called at the right time because they was offering a 100 % match program and that my account qualified. I asked her is i payed the {$330.00} what would happen to the account, she explained that it would be {$0.00} and it would stay open for use. Literally as soon as I made the payment about 3 days later I noticed the account went to closed status and charged off.. I immediately called them and they have now kept forwarding my calls to this scam like collection company name XXXX XXXX XXXX. These people can not answer one single question about my account nor provide me with any information.. I mean ZERO information. This is illegal and goes totally against the consumer law. My account should have not went to these people in the first place and also on my credit report it still says aspire have the account but that is also incorrect according to aspire. Thanks
