Complaint narrative:
I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX my account was charged for {$100.00}, it was an unauthorized transaction that I was unaware of, once I noticed the charges I contacted my bank chime and told them that I didnt make the purchase. They immediately cancelled my debit card and issued a new card, I was told they will summit a chargeback and let me know the outcome, however within less than a day I got a email saying my claim was denied and I could request a copy of the document that was received from the merchants stating that I made the purchase. I knew that they were lying and immediately call and told them that I never made that purchase and requested a copy the documents that they told me the merchant sent them. I was told that I will receive a copy of the documents by email, after days of not receiving what I was supposed to get, I reached back out and spoke to multiple agents and with multiple back and forth I requested a supervisor who than told me that it was indeed a lie and they never did an investigation or contacted the merchant to get my money back. But was told that legally they dont have to contact the merchant or do an investigation but they decided to deny my request for a refund. I was told by the supervisor that the representative that toke my complaint made the decision to deny my claim without contacting the company or doing any investigation because they are allowed to do that and her agent decision was finalized. She was very rude and told me that I was not getting a refund for an unauthorized charge on my account. By law banks are require to do a chargeback or provide credit back to customers for an unauthorized charge, and are also required to provide documentation.

Complaint narrative:
I have been getting e-mails from Paypal addressed to my partner. I want to " UNSUBSCRIBE '' from them but there is no tab to do this. 

My partner died 8 years ago and I did not know he had an account and DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE ACCOUNT. 
I called the company and was told I need to send a copy of the death certificate and documents showing that I am the estate executor, which is absolutely absurd. 

I've never had a desire to deal with Paypal and with the inexcusable process of simply trying to stop the e-mails, I know I never will.

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

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.
