Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I filed multiple Item Not Received disputes with PayPal regarding purchases from the XXXX company XXXX XXXX The seller failed to ship the goods, provided no tracking information, and in some cases confirmed in writing they could not send the items. 

Despite identical circumstances and identical evidence provided in each case, PayPal reached contradictory outcomes : some disputes were decided in my favor, while others were decided in favor of the seller. No additional evidence was presented by the seller in the cases I lost. 

When I contacted PayPal, I was told the denials were because I had filed too many disputes with a single seller and because I didnt pay for shipping the latter being impossible since the seller never arranged or offered shipping. These reasons do not appear in PayPals XXXX XXXX XXXX and contradict their own prior rulings on my other disputes from the same seller. 

After these disputes were filed, XXXX deleted or XXXX my account, removing my access to my order history, invoices, and shipment records. This has prevented me from retrieving documentation needed to resolve the disputes and appears retaliatory in nature. 

I have requested immediate release of all withheld funds, copies of the dispute evidence and case files, and a full transaction history. PayPal has not complied and continues to withhold funds totaling {$3800.00} USD.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I asked Equifax XX/XX/year> in compliant XXXX to show me how they verified information about a public record that is on my account. In there response EQUIFAX states they reached out to the court and verified that info. This is untrue. The FCRA states clearly that a FURNISHER SHALL NOT allow inaccurate, incomplete, nor unverifiable information on a credit profile. It also points out the steps that a Furnishers must take dealing with Public Records. Equifax never verified this information. 
I reached out to the " courthouse '' which Equifax states they got the information from. US BANKRUTCY COURT said in the letter they DO NOT COMMUNICATE TO CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES. This means Equifax did not verify this information because the court will not communicate with them. As a consumer I have the right to a credit report that is 100 % accurate. The court not communicating means that Equifax can't verify this information which isn't fair to me as a consumer. Especially when Equifax never reached out to me to verify this information before it was added to my report. 

I am asking again that Equifax please remove this unverified information from my credit profile immediately.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase in XXXX for a store that uses Venmo payment processing ( XXXX XXXX. They never shipped my product and after 1.5 months I cancelled my order. The vendor refused to cancel it, stated they were shipping the items next week, and then that week came and went with no shipment. I finally filed a dispute on XX/XX/XXXX and received zero follow up. I finally got an email from the vendor agreeing to refund me but that never happened and I have no way to send that to Venmo because my case is " in research ''. Then in XXXX, I made a purchase online from another vendor that only accepted Venmo payments. Once again, nothing shipped and I filed a dispute on XX/XX/XXXX. Venmo again has put it " in research '' and has done absolutely nothing. I begged and pleaded for a person to call or email to resolve this, and was told in the chat there is nothing they can do, they can tell me nothing about the cases, and that I need to keep waiting. I think it is pretty clear that Venmo needs to be fined and shown that failing to follow up and enforce chargebacks against scammers is not acceptable. I just want my money back so I can delete Venmo and I have learned my lesson to never use it again.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
