Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Didn't receive services that were advertised
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was alerted that a credit card I tried to open with XXXX XXXX  was denied. Since I did not apply for a card, I was instructed to do a credit freeze and report a fraud alert. Part of that process was for me to create an online account with Experian to pull a credit report, manage my credit freeze, and report a fraud alert. 

The online account with Experian was created on XX/XX/XXXX, and the credit freeze put in place. I created a brand new password for this account that was kept secure. Since then I had logged in several times to check for any more fraudulent activity on my report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from Experian stating that my profile information on my was recently changed and to contact a support email if I did not initiate this change. I tried to go to the Experian website ( not clicking a link from the email ) and found that my password no longer worked. When trying to recover my password, my phone number had also been changed. I also received a text message saying that an Experian checking account had been created in my name. 

I tried to call Experian and was stuck in a phone tree with no help. After some digging online I found a different number and was finally able to reach a person. I was able to confirm my account had been hacked, and a digital checking account opened fraudulently. My question is how is the Experian security so weak my account was hacked within weeks? How was someone able to create an account when I had a fraud alert on my credit profile? 

I am still locked out of my Experian account and am unable to recover it without mailing or faxing ID, SS card, and utility bill. I have no confidence that this information will be kept secure by Experian, but I have no choice but try and recover my account from hackers.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

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 on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. 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.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed there was a charge on my business XXXX  account. Since it was a PayPal charge, XXXX told me to see it with PayPal first, so I filed a claim with PayPal. That day, someone ( The landlord of the property rented with my card ) contacted me through XXXX and asked me if I was the person on the screen shot ( my name not my face ) and showed me an email address that was similar to mine except it had an extra letter. I said, yes that's me, but that is not my email address. So she told me someone stayed at her rental in Hawaii for 4 days. At that time I was in XXXX, and I have ways to prove I was in XXXX. I have all the conversation with the lady from the rental I can send you, she said the guy who rented the property said something was wrong with his card so he would be using his girlfriends, the property owner didn't ask for an id, so I guess they used my card, I dont know how they used my card because I had my card. I also had 2 different charges in Tennessee for XXXX XXXX, which I also disputed. PayPal denied my dispute, even though my PayPal was not used. So I filed a dispute with XXXX, XXXX also denied my dispute and sent me the conversation they had with the rental owner. Yes, I understand someone used her property, but it wasn't me, she says she has videos of the person who was there, and if she does, you will clearly see it was not me. I dont know how she got the XXXX XXXX of that person, and the phone number of the person she rented it to doesn't even exist. I placed a police report the day I noticed it happened. I didn't receive a text message from XXXX  asking if it was me or not. My card got charged {$1300.00}, and the only thing they tell me is they were going to send me the documents they used to verify I made the purchase and they just sent me the conversation with the landlord. I am willing to press charges if they find the person. I asked the lady and she says she didn't ask for an id. I dont think it's fair for me to pay for something I didn't buy, not using my PayPal , PayPal should have better ways to identify fraud, and XXXX not protecting their consumers.
