Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Complaint narrative:
My account with these company was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 
This company never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased an item off XXXX and paid via Venmo ( XXXX and XXXX ). This ended up being a scam, the seller never sent the item. I submitted a case to venmo which was denied at first and then I appealed which was approved and a refund was sent on XX/XX/year> for {$510.00} ( so venmo claims ). It is now XX/XX/year> as of this complaint and customer support can not explain to me why my refund has not apeared in my bank. They will not connect me to the team that deals with this matter as that team only " works through email ''. I am essentially being held in limbo hoping that Venmo decides to send me my money which was covered through their own policy. 

I have called Venmo multiple times and all they can tell me is they will escalate the case to a " specialist '' and I will hear back via email ( I have not recieved a single email about this case from Venmo from the start ). 

I have confirmed with my bank that there has been no transaction of this refund from Venmo from XX/XX/XXXX. I have also sent screenshots of my bank statement to Venmo in hopes that that will help expedite this. 

CFPB please help me, its been over a month that I have been dealing with this. They already approved my refund, they just wont send it and nobody can help track it down.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 


This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a Chase XXXX Credit card with an offer I received on a XXXX XXXX flight for the United Explorer mileage plus credit card. The pamphlet said I would receive XXXX XXXX  when using a code in the pamphlet to sign up for this specific credit card, and then spend {$3000.00} within the first 3 months of opening the credit card. I signed up, was approved for this specific card and began using it. I called to make sure the code from XXXX was in there as I had to enter it in a weird place when I applied and wanted to ensure I received my XXXX points. I was told the code was not accepted and that I would only receive XXXX XXXX per the current promotion for that card. I explained about the pamphlet and the promise of XXXX points, not XXXX and they submitted my dispute. I then received a letter saying they would not credit my card with the additional XXXX points owed to me. I have repeatedly called Chase, who denies it is their issue, and they refer me to XXXX, who then says Chase has to do it. It has become an exhausting game of no one taking accountability and me still being owed XXXX XXXX. I have since exceeding the {$3000.00} spend within the first 3 months and they only gave me XXXX XXXX.
