Complaint narrative:
I was gifted a " Texas XXXX Gift Card '' for XXXX in XXXX. I had forgotten I had the card ( still in the cardboard casing ) and tried to use it several times over the last month and was unable to. I called the number on the back of the card today, XXXX, and after XXXX minutes on the phone with them ( mostly on hold ) and asking to speak to two different supervisors/managers, I was greatly upset about what they told me and that they were unable to offer any resolution for XXXX virtually XXXX stealing '' the entire balance of the card to pay inactivity fees that I was unaware the card had. The card has a printed expiration date of XX/XX/XXXX, so naturally I thought that I had until that date to use the card. Apparently I was wrong and the card now has a {$0.00} balance because 13 months after XX/XX/XXXX when it was activated, XXXX began deducting {$3.00} a month for inactivity. The representative and the two supervisors/managers kept telling me that that the deduction information is printed on the back of the card. I explained to them that there was no way I would know that since this card was gifted to me and that I can not read tiny print anyway ( I do not have good XXXX  ). I have never had one of these cards before and I asked that they reinstate the balance or send me a replacement card since I did not know. They refused. This is an injustice and frankly I see it as theft and fraud on the part of XXXX who in addition to quietly and in my opinion secretly taking the balance of this card little by little every month from a consumer who is completely unaware, also charged a {$5.00} fee to activate the card when it was purchased. I asked the manager who I spoke to named XXXX what those inactivity fees actually covered and he was unable to explain. This is so unfair and all I want is the balance reinstated or a replacement card. Believe me, now that I know, this will NEVER happen to me again or anyone I know. XXXX can do much better than this. Their customer service department offered no service recovery and provided the worst service with no empathy. I work in customer service myself and would be so much more empathetic. XXXX is a multi XXXX dollar industry and providing me with the {$50.00} they took from my gift card would be nothing for them and would mean so much to me a consumer. All I want is my gift card money back. Thank you.

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.

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:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a 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 attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. 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.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my XXXX ID was compromised by an unauthorized party. This resulted in a total of {$3700.00} in fraudulent purchases made from XXXX, which were all processed through my linked PayPal account. 

I discovered the fraudulent activity on the same day, XX/XX/XXXX, and took immediate action to report the crime to all parties involved : XXXX : I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX. They opened a formal fraud investigation and classified the issue as an " Unrecognized charge '' under XXXX ID : XXXX. They immediately checked the IP address and device locations and labeled this as fraud. 

My Bank : I contacted my bank 's fraud department. They were able to immediately reverse the fraudulent charges made against my debit card. They also put a stop-payment on the fraudulent charges that were being attempted as XXXX bank transfers. 

PayPal : I also reported the fraud directly to PayPal and followed their procedures. They started their investigation. Later paypal came back and said they did not detect a breach on their end and I owe the money, which I continued to try to resolve without luck. 

The fraudulent charges were attempted using XXXX different methods through my PayPal account. Here is the breakdown : Debit Card Charges ( {$2600.00} ) : This portion of the fraud was charged to my debit card. My bank successfully reversed these charges as fraudulent. This portion of the issue is resolved. 

XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX ( {$1100.00} ) : This portion of the fraud was attempted as a direct transfer from my bank account. My bank successfully stopped these fraudulent payments from being sent. 

The problem is that because my bank stopped the fraudulent XXXX transfers, PayPal is now holding me liable for that amount. They have placed a negative balance on my account for {$1200.00}. 

PayPal 's justification for this debt is that the initial security breach happened at XXXX, not on their platform. However, this ignores the fact that the transactions are undeniably fraudulent, which is officially documented by XXXX under my XXXX ID. I am the victim of a documented crime, and I followed all the correct procedures with my bank and the merchant. PayPal, as the financial service provider that processed these fraudulent payments, should not be forcing me to pay for them. I have contacted Paypal numerous times, and all they want is I pay off the fraudulent money saying " they fronted it, I owe it ''.
