Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MN

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. I know for FACT I did not give, nor do you have my written instructions to furnish my information. Since I did not give you written consent to do such, that is identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. It has harmed my family and I severely. THIS SECTION ON WHY THESE CREDIT INACCURACIES ARE DETRIMENTAL TO MY LIVELIHOOD. 

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. 

I expect a written response from your credit bureau within 4 days of receiving this letter. Failure to respond will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter further, including reporting the violation to the appropriate regulatory authorities and pursuing legal remedies available under the FCRA. 

I, XXXX XXXX state that the information you are reporting is not information relating to any transaction that I made by the consumer.

Company: BMW Financial Services NA, LLC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed an erroneous collections remark from XXXX  via XXXX online for a lease account I had from XXXX. Within the same day, BMWFS completed their review allegedly and instead of providing any information regarding the dispute, they added new collections remarks for XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  and XX/XX/XXXX. 

This account was paid in full and closed XX/XX/XXXX and a new lease agreement was in effect. The first collections remark was added on XX/XX/XXXX. How is that possible when this account was paid in full and a new lease agreement had started the same day ( XX/XX/XXXX )? Even if the remark was correct ( it's not btw ), how would it go into collections that fast? Did the 30,60, 90 day remarks not apply? I've still yet to receive any documentation of the debt in question. 

I currently have another lease account that is scheduled to expire XX/XX/XXXX. Although the current account has been paid as agreed and on-time, I believe that BMWFS is confusing the two accounts and\or adding derogatory remarks haphazardly. I have not received any notices of what I owe, what the debt is for and why it is now in collections status. 

My current lease originally expired on XX/XX/XXXX. However, it was extended by BMWFS until XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  to allow for my new car to be delivered to the local dealership. That should not have resulted in any sort of collections remarks on my XXXX credit report on either BMWFS account listed. The dates in question coincide with the dates that my current lease was extended. Again, this should not have resulted in anything other than " paid as agreed '', not " collections ''.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
PayPal permanently banned me from using their services on XX/XX/. This action was taken because they believed I had consistently filed cases that did not align with the intent of the PayPal Purchase Protection Program and were contrary to the terms outlined in their User Agreement. They have decided that I am no longer allowed to use PayPal 's services. Despite granting me refunds and chargebacks because the seller did not respond, they failed to inform me that my account was under review. They also alleged that I initiated a chargeback on a closed case, even though it had been denied by them. They directed me to contact my bank, and now all my accounts, including those of my family members, have been banned, adversely affecting my online e-commerce business. PayPal provided me with inaccurate information via email, instructed me on necessary actions, and subsequently suspended my account, despite the seller 's failure to fulfill their delivery obligation. Furthermore, when I reported the transaction, they issued a refund, disregarding my evidence and labeling me a " risk, '' despite my long-standing use of PayPal. Additionally, they banned my family members ' accounts, even though they were not involved in any wrongdoing. For months, I've been expressing concerns about the pizza company 's actions towards me. My orders either never arrived or were incorrect. Unfortunately, my attempts to voice these issues have resulted in repercussions for me, while the seller faced no consequences. When I reported the transaction, XXXX XXXX failed to respond, prompting PayPal to refund my money. Now, I find myself accused of misusing this system, which I have not done.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a brand new vehicle XX/XX/XXXX. Wells Fargo was the lender. XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  while purchasing a new vehicle and trading the XXXX  I found out there was no record of me owning or purchasing the vehicle. The information was not being reported to the credit bureau. I was initially denied the trade saying because it was thought to be someone else 's vehicle. This is my.second time reporting this the 1st time the complaint was closed and letter mailed out saying that my credit would be updated. There's still no report of me having the vehicle on my credit. This was very embarrassing as well as causing me to have a lower score than I should since my payment history waa excellent but credit shows no trace. It's very frustrating how these big companies get off doing crooked activities and hindering the consumers making them suffer.
