Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
he 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.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me.

The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In early XX/XX/XXXX, I placed an order through XXXX for a triple-stack bird cage ( {$410.00} ), paid via PayPal using my XXXX credit card. The seller later marked the item as delivered and provided XXXX tracking number XXXX. 

However, XXXX confirmed this tracking number was not associated with my name or address, and the delivery photo clearly does not match my home. I contacted XXXX and they opened XXXX # XXXX to document this, but were unable to provide a written statement due to privacy policy. The ship date on the XXXX tracking ( XX/XX/XXXX ) also did not match the sellers stated ship date ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

I reported all of this to PayPal, including : The XXXX case number Screenshots of the mismatched delivery photo A comparison photo from a previous XXXX shipment ( tracking # XXXX ) to my actual address A PDF showing that this previous shipment was addressed to me Despite this, PayPal denied my refund request, stating that the tracking showed delivered and that they needed written proof from XXXX, which XXXX can not legally provide unless Im the named recipient. 

This is a known scam tactic called tracking number fraud, where sellers provide real tracking numbers for unrelated deliveries in the same ZIP code to trick automated systems. Platforms like PayPal allow this to succeed because they rely on tracking status alone and do not verify recipient identity. 

I have also reported this to the FTC ( Report # XXXX ) and the XXXX XXXX ( Complaint ID : XXXX ). XXXX has issued a temporary credit for the charge while investigating. 

Im requesting that PayPal reverse this denial and reevaluate how they handle disputes involving fraudulent tracking numbers.

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my Consumer Reports and noticed that there was a late payment on an account I was never late on. Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report Consumer information to the best of their ability with Maximum Accuracy according to 15 USC 1666b and 15 USC1681n. I have never been late on payments for the account disputed on XXXX with Equifax to update XXXX XXXX XXXX Account # XXXX XXXXXXXX. I requested an investigation and asked that they provide Proof with statements showing that this payment was late. Proof was NOT provided I demand this payment be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. 
In their response on the letter dated XX/XX/year>, I was only provided that the account was verified and updated. No proof was provided according to 15 USC 1666b. Again, I am requesting PROOF from the credit bureau and this late payment be deleted within XXXX  days or I was be forced to proceed with legal proceedings.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX and the credit bureaus continue to report inaccurate information on my credit file. XXXX is reporting a charge off knowing that the vehicle was totaled and the XXXX insurance did not pay the remaining balance. XXXX was aware of this and as I attemepted to get it resolved did nothing to help or make the matter better. After attempting to get my primary insurance and the XXXX provider to resolve the issue it was pointless. I could not get the primary insurance adjuster to help. The XXXX insurance stood on the fact that the adjustment was valid. XXXX then started reporting negative payment history knowing what was happening. They then charged off the account without notice.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because my XXXX account is being reported inaccurately on my XXXX  credit report. I settled and paid this account for less than the full balance, but the report shows a charged-off amount of {$1700.00} and a written-off amount of {$1000.00}, with a status that says Past due as of XX/XX/year>. This is misleading and incorrect, as the debt has been settled and should no longer be showing as past due or reflecting a balance. It does not reflect the payment that was made or indicate that it was resolved through settlement. I have documentation to prove the payment and settlement agreement.
