Dear PayPal. 

This is a letter of dispute regarding a balance transfer which took place last year on XX/XX/ for the amount of {$660.00} on my PayPal Mastercard. 

I paid my XXXX balance of {$660.00} on XXXX 

On my XXXX statement I noticed my previous months payment but I also noticed a balance transfer for the same amount from my lost card to my new card. 

The transfer took place on XXXX XXXX for the amount of {$660.00} five days later. 

I called PayPal few times to let them know about the issue but to no avail. 

So I finally paid the amount related to this matter again on XXXX since I wasnt looking for trouble with a credit card company. 

What I am asking is for PayPal to review my statements and payments from the month of XX/XX/ until my account was closed few months later I was also charged interest and late payment fees.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ga XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Dear, Experian Inaccurate Credit Reporting ( 15 USC 1681s2 ) To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter to inform you that I have notified the credit bureaus of misreporting by your company in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. According to which, as the furnisher of the information in question, you have a grave responsibility of maintaining the accuracy of that information. 

The following accounts : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  is reporting a balance when it is my understanding an reason to believe that because this debt was charged off by you that is was memorialized with a Form 1099C as proof or evidence thereof. And that because of that fact, this debt is cancelled and at least should not reflect the balance that is currently showing on my consumer file. 

This would indicate inaccurate reporting on your behalf and therefore is a violation of the FCRA by you the furnisher to continue to report this inaccurate information. Especially with the actual knowledge, notice and confirmation of the errors. 

I would demand that the accounts be removed from my credit report completely to avoid any legal recourse or action on behalf of myself by retained counsel. 

Thank you in advance, XXXX XXXX
