Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because LexisNexis has repeatedly failed to correct inaccurate and damaging information in my consumer report, despite XXXX formal disputes. My most recent case with them is Case Number XXXX and Consumer Number XXXX. 

The report includes numerous records that belong to my twin brother, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, not to me. I, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, have never lived at the addresses listed ( including XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and have never held insurance with XXXX. These are clearly my brother 's records, yet they are being reported under my name. 

Additionally : My correct phone number is ( XXXX ) XXXX, which LexisNexis has also listed incorrectly. 

The report contains violations and insurance claims that are entirely unrelated to me. 

The only accurate record in the report is marked ( XXXX ) everything else belongs to my brother. 

I have submitted complete documentation multiple times, and LexisNexis continues to return nearly identical reports without making the necessary corrections. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information Continued reporting of inaccurate and mixed information Causing financial harm by inflating my insurance rates based on false records

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
my wife used her PayPal account to send me money while I am working out of town 10 hours away from home. She sent it to my PayPal account using her bank account routing number from her own PayPal PayPal account. When we realized she did this, we understood that the payment would not come directly to me immediately until the payment was actually cleared from her bank account. We understood that was her mistake for doing it that way and we have to wait until it cleared. Right now, she has sent me over {$800.00} at this point, and every last dollar of that $ XXXXhave been cleared from her bank account completely for over 48 hours and PayPal has still yet to release the funds to me to access them. This is money that Im supposed to live off of and have no other means of living. I have no way to eat or anything. They are holding my money hostage I assume for their own gain of interest and that is so unethical and if its not illegal, it should be. I understand they have policies for a reason, but the reason is to make sure the funds are going to be covered. The funds were 100 % covered and we have proof of that and screenshot from her bank account. I have no money to eat or live off of for the next nine days and they are just holding my money for fun. I want this rectified immediately and I dont wan na have to wait a day or two days or a week for six months according to the horror stories Ive read on the Internet. Ive already spoken with an attorney and they are even willing to help me because this is so shady and illegal.

I attached a screenshot from her bank account or you can clearly see the payments have been debited out of her account. If those payments were still considered pending and had not been cleared, then you would see the word pending about each and every charge above the left hand portion of the screen, where the details and information about the payment or solution. The word pending would be in right right about each and every detail line by line. As you can see it does not say that. The portions that are marked out or simply the amount of money in our account that I do not think needs to be public record. My wife owns a business so theres a large amount of funds in that account

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 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.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me. 

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.
