Consumer complaint received 2024-08-21 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

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.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with customer service
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Paypal, my credit card provider, decided that it detected potentially fraudulent activity on my account XX/XX/year>. Instead of trying to contact me to verify the charge was legitimate or not, they decided to issue a new card without locking out my current card. When I received the new card, I called them to ask why I received a new card. They told me about the potentially fraudulent charge and I refuted their statement, the charge was legitimate. I hung up with them thinking things would be fine, they were not. I had issues updating automatic payments because some sites would not accept a new payment with the same account number, just a different CVV and expiration date. I called XXXX again and explained that to them. Their customer account person decided to report that I had fraudulent account activity when I demanded they issue a new card with a different account number so I could update my automatic payments. I received the XXXX card, updated my automatic payments and after XXXX charges posted, Paypal decided to lock my account until I verified who I was with them. I refused to send them a picture of me holding my driver 's license. They sent me a letter with a XXXX time code and a special phone number to call. I called this number, they didn't ask for the code as stated on the letter. Instead, they wanted to check on more potentially fraudulent charges, which were the automatic payments I had set up that they refused to let through because they suspended my account due to their not contacting me by telephone call, email, or text to verify that the attempted charges were legitimate or fraudulent. They hung up on my when I asked to speak to someone who could actually help me verify my account. I had about XXXX reward points on my account and now I can not even see them when I log into my account. I just want the points back so I can use them before I close this account. There is absolutely nothing Paypal can do to keep me as a customer at this point. I just want the rewards points I have earned restored.
