Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

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 account listed without my expressed written consent. 

Also, I was never disclosed of ALL three of my Opt-Out disclosures which states a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party under 15 U.S. Code 6802 unless all three disclosures were satisfied but they were not.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I sent multiple dispute letters to your company, but I am still seeing the same inaccurate information on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, all information on my credit report must be 100 % accurate. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), these accounts are in violation for not reporting 100 % accurate information.

I am attaching copies of all the letters I previously sent.

You need to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report immediately.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I successfully instant transferred XXXX from my Venmo balance to a debit card ending in XXXX. It is a virtual debit card issued by XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX. This payment never posted to my XXXX account. I contacted Venmo and opened a dispute ; they told me to contact XXXXXXXX XXXX and they also provided tracing details for the transfer. I contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX and XXXX more than 30 times and no one can see the transfer. It has taken hours each day to try and resolve this according to Venmo 's instructions and information -- -as they are unwilling to do the work of resolving an issue that they created, if indeed the money can't be transferred to XXXX -- and I have suffered stress and time lost because of it. 

Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, I again conducted an instant transfer of XXXX via Venmo. The card ending in XXXX was still on my account and the money went there YET AGAIN. I contacted Venmo within ten minutes of the transfer, having realizing that this was going to be yet another serious issue in which I might lose time, money, etc. Venmo said that they couldn't do anything, as it was successfully completed. I again opened a dispute and asked for tracing details ; I again chatted with numerous customer service agents ; I again contacted XXXX XXXX and XXXX and have extensive correspondence with all of these companies. I have been told that 1 ) Venmo is lying 2 ) money isn't there 3 ) Venmo should call them. I've related all of this information to Venmo and they keep insisting on on the tracing information. 

I want my money back. I want this resolved. it's fair to request that I received compensation, too, for all of the time, money, and hassle. This business assured me that the money would be transferred, that it was available on the bank 's end, and that the solutions they provided, such as contacting relevant parties, would fix this. It hasn't. This is immoral and unacceptable.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I looked at my report back on XX/XX/2024 and noticed some things are incomplete and not accurate. I sent a letter to Experian XXXX and XXXX in XX/XX/2024 and asked them to investigate the completeness and accuracy. I received the results and noticed they did not fix nothing. There are breaking Federal law According to 15 USC 1681e ( b ) it states this ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

So I then asked them to provide me a description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ) : ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description. 
But they did not do that as well either.

They are also breaking these laws as well below According to 15 USC 1681 ( 5 ) it states this ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation; and ( i ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified r deleted from the file of the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I created a personal account on Cash App to receive {$410.00} from my relative to pay my rent on XX/XX/XXXX. 
When I tried to with the money sent to me by my relative, The Cash App blocked the transfer stating there was suspicious activity. 
I contacted their in app support for help. In app support said that they could not help me. They stated that they would escalate my issue to another department. That department conveniently does not have a phone number and can't be reached in the app. They will only reach out by email in an unspecified number of days. After checking my email every day for two weeks and reaching out to them to find out what is going on, I finally get an email that my case was closed. They said I had only three days to respond. Since I did not respond in three days, I would have to go through the process of contacting in-app support, have them tell me that they would escalate the issue and have me wait for their department to contact me in several unspecified days in the future! Meanwhile, my rent was late and I was hit with a late fee of {$200.00}! The way Cash App steals money from hardworking Americans is shameful and XXXX. Thank you for your help in getting my money back from my personal Cash App account
