Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Truist Bank began servicing my loan effective XX/XX/2022. In the notice of servicing transfer letter than Truist Bank sent me on XX/XX/2022, Truist Bank instructed me to login to their website in order to create an account and pay my loan. 

On XX/XX/2022 at XXXX XXXX I attempted to create an account on the Truist Bank website through the instructions provided in the notice of servicing, but the website repeatedly suffered from a technical issue which prevented me on multiple attempts from creating an account. 

On XX/XX/2022 at XXXX XXXX I attempted once again to create an account on the Truist Bank website in order to pay my loan electronically, but faced the same technical issue that prevented me from creating an account. The technical issue originates from inadequate coding practices performed on behalf of Truist Bank in the way they validate existing user ID 's. I called Truist Bank at their toll-free Client Services Department telephone number and spent 12 minutes on hold until I was connected with a customer service representative. After explaining my issue, the representative stated they would transfer me to technical support, but they did not transfer me and instead put me back into the call waiting queue where I spent an additional XXXX minutes on hold until I was connected to a representative. The representative stated that they were not able to have a discussion with me, and ended the call. 

In doing so, Truist Financial has prevented me from creating an account in order to pay my loan online, which leaves me with no other option than to pay my loan via direct deposit, which requires mailing a direct deposit authorization letter, or mail physical letters to their address, incurring significant postage expenses on my behalf.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2022 I received a noticed from my bank that there was a pull from my checking account from PayPal for {$0.00}. On investigation, there was a charge from PayPal from a reoccurring basis from XXXX for 4 separate requests. I deleted all 4 on the PayPal website, but I did not authorize any of these activities as I have ( other than email ) no existing relationship with XXXX. I reported this to PayPal, and requested to immediately close the account and was told that they couldn't do that as they were researching the charge in question and was still waiting to receive payment from my bank account for the charge. I received a reply that they did the research and it was NOT an unauthorized charge and was consistent with my recent activity, but that is impossible as I have never had any activity with that company, and nothing anywhere near that dollar amount.

Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of an elaborate bitcoin investment scam. The fraudulent company is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I will attach a detailed letter about the scam and what happened. I first contacted my bank, XXXXXXXX XXXX, to report the fraud on XX/XX/XXXX but they ignored my email. I have sent multiple letters to their fraud department email and every single one of them went ignored. I emailed them on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I called to report the fraud on XX/XX/2022 and they said that they could not help me. I sent a letter in the mail to their corporate office in Minnesota on XX/XX/XXXX as well and I never received a letter back from them. They should have been aware of the fraudulent activity that was happening on my account and that I was scammed out of {$19000.00} in less than a year. They have failed to protect me as a customer by not seeing and stopping the unusual activity that was happening on my account.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a request for validation to the debt collector ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX they sent me a failed debt validation. The letter they sent was written in Spanish which I do not speak and I have never sent any communications written in Spanish. So assume this was a delay tactic used so that I would not understand that this is an incomplete validation. The letter was missing a few points of key information such as my signature on a contract or official document stating I am the bearer of the debt. How much was paid to acquire the debt. They have also not provided whether XXXX XXXX XXXX are licensed in my state and if so provide the date of the license, name on the license, license number, and the name, address, and telephone number of the state agency issuing the license. If XXXX are contacting me from outside my state, provide the licensing information from your state as well. If this information is not provided to me by XX/XX/XXXX which is the deadline to the 30 day validation window then I would like Experian to take the collection off my credit report as is my right under the Far Debt Collection Practices Act. ( FDCPA )

Complaint narrative:
I would like to place a formal complaint against Equifax for violating my FCRA rights and my privacy. They have placed a public record on my consumer report that should not be there : Public Record - XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX # XXXX. 
Equifax said they verified it but I reached out to the courts who verified that they do not report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus. I have attached the letter that I received from the court. They are in violation of my rights pursuant 15 usc 1681b under permissible purpose. They never validated nor verified anything with anyone at the courts. Equifax is violating multiple laws including : The reporting requirements do not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C 681I ) and the information must be deleted immediately. The civil liability law which I will sue under is clearly here : 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) - Congressional findings and statement of purpose ( Consumer Right to Privacy ) ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The Congress makes the following findings : ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Failure to Comply or delete this public record from my report is a clear violation : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Code 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance ( a ) In general, Any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) ( A ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} ; 15 U.S. Code 1681o Civil liability for negligent noncompliance- ( a ) In general Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this subchapter with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure ; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. Under 15 US Code 1681a ( 4 ) as a consumer I have right to privacy and these inaccurate items must be deleted from my consumer report. Please help me get this violation removed from my credit report. It is unverifiable. Please see also the attached dispute which also points out multiple inaccuracies.
