Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, My name is XXXX XXXX and Im a long-time PayPal user who has never violated the Acceptable Use Policy. Despite this, I received the horrible shock of a ; Important : Account features have been deactivated " We're unable to continue processing payments for this account You can no longer do business with PayPal email today. At the advice of counsel, Im sending you a polite message with details and information so that this policy mistake can be corrected and that my account can be restored to full functionality. 

I primarily use my PayPal for accepting payment for the sales of my digital products ( eBooks and video courses in the book publishing, freelancing, domain flipping niche/industry ) that is, I use my PayPal to receive payments for the sale of goods or services ). In addition, I run adverts to promote my digital products and that is why I make good and occasional sales. Everything I do on PayPal is completely legitimate and I have never had any issues or complaints from any of my customers. 

Here are several examples of recent transactions : [ XXXX XX/XX/2024 ] : [ {$40.00} ] payment for the sales of a digital product ( book publishing course ) from XXXX XXXX. 

[ XXXX XX/XX/2024 ] : [ {$49.00} ] payment for the sales of a digital product ( book publishing course ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

[ XXXX XX/XX/2024 ] : [ {$49.00} ] payment for the sales of a digital product ( book publishing course ) from XXXX XXXX. 

[ XXXX XX/XX/2024 ] : [ {$34.00} ] payment for the sales of a digital product ( cpa/affiliate marketing course ) from XXXX XXXXr . 

[ XXXX XX/XX/2024 ] : [ {$35.00} ] payment for the sales of a digital product ( domain flipping course ) from XXXX XXXX. 

[ XXXX XX/XX/2024 ] : [ {$40.00} ] payment for the sales of a digital product ( cpa lead generation course ) from XXXX XXXX. 

[ XXXX XX/XX/2024 ] : [ {$35.00} ] payment for the sales of a digital product ( book publishing course ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

AND I transferred {$1000.00} from my account to my valid and approved card on the [ XXXX of XX/XX/2024 ]. 

None of these violate the AUP. To be honest, I have no idea what could have triggered this mistake. I reviewed it in close detail. 

Please forward this on to the correct internal department that handles PayPal accounts. I look forward to hearing back from you once my case is reviewed and the limitation is reconsidered. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX ] [ My PayPal Email : XXXX ] ( CONFIDENTIAL )

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Private mortgage insurance (PMI)
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I purchased my home in 2015. The home was purchased for XXXX. It also appraised for XXXX, which I have the appraisal on hand. I did get behind on payments due to medical expenses, life challenges due to XXXX of my kids being hospitalzied. However, I have worked really hard to come back from that and I called last year to see what I needed to do to get the PMI dropped. They told me I needed to be 12 months no late payements. I have now been 12 months no late payemnts, and have now requested twice they drop the PMI insurance and they denied both times stating they can not drop it until I reach 78 % of appraised value. Appraised vaue is XXXX back in 2015. I currently owe {$95000.00} and they still will not drop the PMI insurance, even though I have been over 12 months no late payemnts and I can not get ahold of anyone on the phone unless you wait forever on the phone going through their phone system putting in the same things over and over and if you are lucky you can talk to someone. Last week when I talked to someoen they told me they should drop it and that they would submit it yet again. And I get another denial again today. Not impressed with how Shellpoint Mortgaging Service Company is handling this situation.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as delineated in 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies must execute their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a profound respect for the consumer 's privacy rights. Equifax, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX, being consumer reporting agencies, hold this obligation. As a federally protected consumer, I have the right to safeguard my private information, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which underscores the Congressional policy of ensuring financial institutions respect customer privacy and safeguard nonpublic personal information. 

Furthermore, entities providing information to credit agencies, categorized as financial institutions under this statute, are bound by 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), requiring consumer reporting agencies to furnish consumer reports solely in accordance with the written instructions of the concerned consumer. Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the financial institution furnishing information to credit agencies lack my consent to furnish this information, let alone my written consent and violate their own terms and conditions by sharing information with nonaffiliate. Consequently, any and all consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, or implied, to Equifax, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the aforementioned financial institution is hereby revoked. 

Moreover, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) mandates that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is informed of their right to exercise the nondisclosure option. Regrettably, I have not been informed of this right by the financial institution furnishing information to credit agencies. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in consumer reports without authorization. Despite this, the account in question is being reported without my permission, contravening the law.

Further, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) dictates that no person shall furnish inaccurate information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency. Equifax, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, therefore, are failing to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations of this statute, as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

Finally, pursuant to 12 CFR 1016.7, I am exercising my right to opt out of your reporting services effective immediately.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I got a care credit line from Synchrony Bank for dental work that I had to have done. I understood that there was a period of 6 months where my interest wouldnt accrue. What I didnt understand is that after that period if I didnt pay it off in full, all of the amount I had paid down would now have interest applied at over 30 percent rate. What Im really mad about is they didnt display a email note prominently in the month or two leading up to this happening. Shouldnt they have to send you a note highlighting that you are suddenly going to owe a large amount tacked on to your balance? I also have a promotional deal with XXXX XXXX and they sent me a prominent email note 2 months before the interest kicks in. Seems like a practice that CFPB would support if not mandate.
