Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ran my credit HARD INQUIRY without my knowledge or authorization. I did not apply for or consent to any account with this company, and this is a case of clear identity theft and fraudulent activity. For months I was aware of accounts opened in my name without my knowledge or authorization. I contacted the company ( via reaching out through FTC identity theft report and sent to the crdit bureaus ) to request verification of the original documents and information used to open this account. However, they were unable to provide these details. This lack of documentation raises serious concerns and further supports my claim of identity theft. Some of these companies I called and found that the information they had ( spelling of name, ssn, address ) did not match my true information. I sent these companies my true information and they disregarded and failed to acknowlege the ID theft and maintained this account belonged to me. I request that this matter be investigated thoroughly and that any accounts or activity linked to this identity theft be suspended or removed from my records. I also request, per FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ), full method of verification for the items in question, including the original signed contract or application bearing my signature. If you are unable to verify the accuracy and legitimacy of the item ( s ) within 30 days, you are required by law to delete the information from my credit file.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, XXXX XXXX issued me a refund of {$640.00} USD via PayPal to a closed XXXX XXXX XXXX card ending in XXXX. I have not received the refund and do not have an account with XXXX anymore. 

PayPal provided me a trace number ( XXXX ) but has not provided proof the refund was ever accepted by XXXX XXXX XXXX I have repeatedly requested confirmation of delivery, but they only confirm that the refund was processed not that it reached a valid account or was returned to PayPal. 

I submitted a previous CFPB complaint under this same issue ( Complaint ID : XXXX ). PayPal responded by claiming the funds were not returned and told me to escalate with BoA. However, I am not a current BoA customer and can not obtain any documentation. XXXX representatives have verbally confirmed the refund would have been automatically rejected. 

Despite this, PayPal refuses to reissue the refund or credit my PayPal balance. It has now been over 2 months since the refund was issued, and the money is still missing.

I am requesting that PayPal either : Provide documented confirmation from BoA that the funds were accepted, or Reissue the refund to my PayPal balance or current linked bank account PayPals current refusal to act is unacceptable and leaves me without the funds I am rightfully owed.
