Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have exhausted every possible avenue to recover my stolen funds, but I have been met with roadblocks at every turn. PayPal allows me to open disputes but then closes them, often logging me out during the process. As soon as I realized that my accounts had been drained by fraudulent transactions, I immediately took action : XX/XX/year> Visited XXXX Bank in person and spent hours disputing the charges. 
Filed reports with the FTC, CFPB ( Case # XXXX ), IC3, and the local XXXX XXXX XXXX  Police Department XXXX 
Sent letters to the fraudulent company XXXX XXXX and to XXXX, yet not enough action was taken, citing time limitationseven though the fraudulent activity was ongoing. 
Filed multiple complaints with PayPal, which initially returned a few transactions but then refused to investigate further, and side with XXXX XXXX which I have sent multiple letters to and asked for the funds to be returned. PayPayl only credited back what XXXX bank restored. 
This fraud has been financially devastating, affecting not only my personal accounts but also my business accounts and credit cards. The fraudulent company exploited my PayPal account, gaining access to every linked card I had ever used without my knowledge. Despite clear evidence of unauthorized access, PayPal failed to prevent these transactions, and XXXX did not fully investigate XXXX  let them gain access also and I did not know this was possible. 

As a result of this fraud : My credit has been severely damaged, leaving me unable to pay bills electronically. 
I am forced to pay my electric and insurance bills in person because my accounts have been drained. 
I had to purchase a new phone to protect my accounts and prevent further breaches. 
I am financially devastated and struggling to keep my businesses afloat. 

When I saw what happened, I immediately : Deleted all linked cards from PayPal and reported them stolen. 
Shut down compromised credit cards. 
Got a new phone to secure my financial information. 
Escalated complaints to every institution I could. 

Yet, I have been abandoned by the very financial institutions that should protect me. Chases excuse that they " only go back 30 days '' is unacceptable when this was an ongoing, organized fraud scheme. 

I am now in a financial crisis, my businesses are at risk, and I urgently need help. I am requesting that the CFPB force PayPal and XXXX to reopen my fraud case, conduct a proper investigation, and return my stolen funds. I also demand an explanation as to why PayPal allowed this unauthorized access and why XXXX failed to act despite clear evidence of fraudulent activity.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my dispute s regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. The practice violates Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifaxs action may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPBs recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Dear Equifax legal Department I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well being. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a thorough investigation into these accuracies, as required by federal law. 

Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Equifax for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing sham investigations and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the XXXX, include :

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I occurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal Credit Union for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed a collection account on my credit report multiple times with Capital One. They have not provided sufficient documentation to validate this debt. Despite my requests, they continue to report it as a charge-off without proper verification. The only response Ive received is a generic account statement, which does not prove ownership of the debt. This account was settled, and I request that it be removed from my credit report immediately due to their failure to provide adequate proof.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent
