Company: Key 2 Recovery, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Key to Recovery is constantly attempting to collect on a loan for XXXX XXXX. The only verification method used is having access to my personal information that the school had. After submitting proof that I never signed for this loan to the credit bureau, it still comes back as verified as accurate, disregarding that someone forged my name with a group of numbers. Now it is under review with the Borrower 's Defense and I will attach a copy of that in this message. XXXX XXXX did a lot of fraudulent acts at the school to collect money ad not give degrees to students.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Cashapp allowed three other customers to access or try to access my account and send money to themselves. This occurred around the time that my blackmailers started, and were also demanding {$500.00}! I tried to close my account but they refused because {$6.00} remained in the account. I asked them to just send the money back to me to close the account but they refused. 

Bottom line, I want cashapp investigated as possible accessory to the blackmail and the {$530.00} stolen from my account which was hacked by someone else know to cashapp. The thieves then gave the money to themselves. I cashapps support and was hung up on three times and refused to close my account because {$6.00} remained in the account. However I already deleted the app but that didnt close the account.. Now, I cant access my account to close it, leaving me open to more theft!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint on XX/XX/2023 about inaccurate information on my credit report. Equifax has admitted to causing me harm and to not protecting my file and information in their possession by allowing my information to be compromised in a data breach as well as causing me financial harm against my standing by allowing this to take place for years despite addressing this issue to them on numerous occasions. Equifax has retaliated by attacking my credit score while allowing inaccurate information to remain on my file. These accounts were medically discharged, and the federally mandated requirement of such evidence was delivered to me. Equifax claims that the accounts are reporting said inaccurate information yet have yet to provide any proof of investigation or reinvestigation but still benefits monetarily from such inaccurate reporting.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Paypal refuses to provide the evidence used in closing a case I opened months ago. They continue to insist I signed a document that was never presented to me, but yet refuses to verify the legitimacy of the document when I state that it is a fraudulent document. 

They have demonstrated that they will protect sellers at all costs, and make it immensely difficult for buyer 's to recover funds stolen from them. I continue to provide evidence that I contacted the seller to cancel ( due to her abuse, even ), and that I did not agree to any terms either online, by fax, or otherwise. Paypal continues to move the goalposts, and refuse to provide evidence in order for me to provide my own to show that she is defrauding not only myself but others as well.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/23 I received an email stating that XXXX would be reporting my auto loan payment late if they did not receive payment by XXXX XXXX time on XX/XX/23. I was almost done with a refinance and the payoff was to be sent the XXXX. It was and on XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX of their receipt of my payoff amount. And indeed when I went to login the account was already closed out. Today, XX/XX/23, I wad notified by my credit monitoring service that bridgecrest had listed my account as 30 days delinquent. I am trying to build my credit to apply for a mortgage and late payments are a huge deal. I entered chat with a XXXX  representative, XXXX and she stated their processing time for these corrections are 90 days. Which is unacceptable for a mistake that their company made. Didn't take them any time to report it late, why can't they remove it just as quickly?

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX & XXXX changed banks in XXXX. I was issued a new card under Synchrony Bank. I never received the card nor statement. I received an email that a payment is due from a non-reply email. I called Synchrony and reached their automated service. I asked for my account number it sent me a link to do a live chat. I used the link, but there was no icon for a live chat. Researching I found on their web site that the icon is only available once you logged in. I can't register to create a login without the account number. 

I called back to speak with a live person. The auto system does everything it can to not allow you to speak to a person. After hitting XXXX a bunch of times it finally asked to press XXXX to speak to a live agent. XXXX picked up the call asked for my full name. I explained that I never received the card or statement and that I need the account number to register. She placed me on hold. I think she was new, she kept asking my " Did you receive the card? '' by the XXXX time I asked what she didn't understand about myself not receiving the card nor statement. She came back verified my address and then said I can't give you your account number. I asked how am I suppose to register and pay the account without this information? Her reply " The good news is we have the correct address. I can not give you your account number. '' I then asked well how am I suppose to get it? " From your card and statement. '' I hung up. 

I have an account I would like to pay and not ruin my credit, but I have a bank that will not provide me with a key part, my account number. 

The irony is you are asking for the card number to help find me.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint 
with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. 
Court, (CD California 2014); you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by 
recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged 
in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of 
discharged accounts.
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof 
of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or 
another instrument bearing my signature.
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT 
COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, 
COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995), 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 
100% accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is 
completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.
