Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
These entries are incorrect and do not accurately reflect my actual payment history. I have made multiple attempts to get these discrepancies investigated and corrected, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite providing all necessary documentation and following up several times, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing issue has caused financial stress and has taken a serious toll on my well-being. Dealing with these inaccurate entries has been frustrating and exhausting. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to a credit report that accurately represents my financial history. This includes the prompt correction of outdated or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate action to update or remove these late payment entries, as failing to do so is a direct violation of my rights under federal law. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution as soon as possible.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, PayPal limited my account and requested identity verification. The reason was that my current last name ( after marriage ) did not match the name on my account. To comply, I submitted my current drivers license, my marriage certificate, and my old government-issued ID showing my previous last name. Despite providing all valid documentation, PayPal has continued to keep my account limited and has not updated my name or restored full access. 

In addition, I had a transaction dispute involving the sale of a purse. The buyer received the purse, disputed the payment through PayPal, and PayPal decided the claim in the buyers favor. As a result, the buyer received a full refund while also keeping the purse. I provided PayPal with proof of shipment, proof that the item I sent was authentic, and evidence that the photos the buyer submitted were not of the purse I shipped. Despite this, PayPal settled the case in the buyers favor. 

PayPals handling of these matters has caused me financial harm and has left me without access to my account, funds, and protection as a seller. The buyer now has both the product and the money, and PayPal has failed to correct the situation.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Credence Resource Management is reporting a fraudulent XXXX XXXX account on my XXXX  credit file. My identity has been stolen, and the credit bureaus are already aware of this fraud. This account was previously disputed as fraudulent and should never have been furnished again. 

What makes this reporting especially egregious is that I have been a legitimate XXXX customer for the past XXXX years through my husbands XXXX account, which is active and in good standing. Despite this, multiple collection agencies have repeatedly reported fraudulent XXXX  accounts under my name. It is unreasonable and reckless for Credence Resource Management to continue furnishing information that directly contradicts my current, valid customer status. 
I have attached screenshots of our XXXX account. My number ends in XXXX. I also have screenshots of all of our payment history as well. 

By knowingly furnishing false information, Credence Resource Management is in violation of : FCRA 623 ( a ) : Furnishers must not report information they know or should know is inaccurate. 
FDCPA 807, 809 : It is unlawful to misrepresent a debt or attempt collection on an account that is not valid, especially after disputes and notice of identity theft. 

As a direct result of this unlawful reporting, I have suffered damages, including but not limited to : Denial of credit opportunities, Increased interest rates and financial costs, Emotional distress and reputational harm.

Complaint narrative:
Re : Account No. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  with XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : DispuXXXX of Inaccurate Credit Reporting Under FCRA Dear Experian, I am disputing inaccurate derogatory information reported on my credit file for Account No. 
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the billing cycle ending XX/XX/year>. 
This reporting is inaccurate because : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to provide a billing statement as required under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. 1026.5 ( b ) ( 2 ) ( ii ) ; and 2. They enrolled my account in paperless billing without my consent, in violation of the E-Sign Act, 15 U.S.C. 7001 ( c ).

Because these violations constitute non-delivery of billing statements, any reported late payment is invalid. Reporting such information also violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ), which prohibits furnishers from reporting inaccurate or incomplete information.

Company: Albert Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I attempted to cancel my Albert account and subscription on XX/XX/XXXX through the in-app cancellation process. 

My account still has not been closed and it's XX/XX/XXXX. 

Albert has made the cancellation process unusually burdensome by : - Forcing me through multiple redundant confirmations ( fraud protection, financial protection, budgeting, etc. ) - Using fear-based warnings ( e.g., Leaving your account unmonitored can lead to substantial financial loss ) - Requiring additional verification steps ( full SSN, last 4 digits of debit card ) - Blocking closure until all pending transactions cleared, rather than processing the closure request immediately as traditional banks do. 

Because of these barriers, I have been unable to close my account for nearly 10 months after my first attempt. I believe this design is intentionally misleading, creating unnecessary friction ( dark patterns ) that trap consumers and allow Albert to continue charging fees.

Complaint narrative:
The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred. Without legally required validation, continued reporting of this negative information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Reporting unverifiable derogatory information damages my credit standing and reflects negligent and unlawful reporting practices.
