Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from PayPal sending me and invoice for {$500.00}. I ignored it and didn't think anything about it until I noticed on my credit report that a collection agency was attempting to collect a debt from PayPal in the amount of {$440.00}. In the email I received from PayPal, it states that there is evidence that my account has been compromised. The company holding this debt is XXXX XXXX and it appears four separate times on my credit report. I was even sued by them in my county over these debts. I have no recollection of ever having owed PayPal any amount of money. 

I am disputing an unrecognized debt appearing on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to investigate and remove inaccurate information. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 prohibits furnishers from reporting incorrect or fraudulent debts. This debt does not belong to me, and I request an immediate investigation and removal. 

" Further, due to the well-documented XXXX XXXX data breach ( FTC v. XXXX, XXXX ), I believe my personal information may have been compromised, leading to this unauthorized debt. As a victim of potential identity theft, I invoke my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 to block this fraudulent information from my credit report.
