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. 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.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have a returned payment fee assessed on XX/XX/year> since a payment at XXXX XXXX  was returned due to insufficient funds. This fee should be removed. On XX/XX/year>, the auto pay was updated to reflect a new bank account. The account at XXXX was being phased out in favor of an account at XXXX. The auto-pay confirmation shows an effective date of XX/XX/year> ; therefore, Barclays should NOT have charged the account at XXXX. I am attaching a copy of the auto pay update confirmation which very clearly says the automatic payment update is effective XX/XX/year>. Had the automatic payment update had indicated otherwise, I would have kept sufficient funds in the old account, or manually canceled the scheduled autopay. Since the payment was a returned as a result of Barclay 's error, the fee should be removed.

I am returning the response from Barclays which is a very generic form message indicating they " are unable to remove the returned payment fee '' but gave no defense of their debiting an account they no longer had authorization to debit.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was sent {$230.00} through PayPal via an eCheck ( Transaction ID : XXXX ). 

PayPal gave a written estimate that the payment would clear by XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and both the sender and I have screenshots confirming this. 

The senders bank ( TD Bank ) already debited the funds and overdrafted her account, yet PayPal still shows the status as Money Received Pending on both accounts. 

I have contacted customer support multiple times, and they repeatedly refuse to escalate or explain the delay. They claim its out of their control, despite their own system showing theyve received the funds. 

The payment is now beyond PayPals promised release date, and I urgently need access to these funds. I am requesting that PayPal be ordered to release the money or provide a full explanation immediately.

Complaint narrative:
This COMPLAINT serves as a formal follow-up to my previous complaint submitted last month regarding inaccurate and damaging information being reported on my credit file. I am requesting your immediate assistance in launching a formal investigation into the reporting of a late payment that I categorically deny. I have never been late on the account ( s ) in question. I have always made my payments on time and have maintained a responsible credit history. The inclusion of any late payment ( s ) on my credit report is inaccurate and a clear reporting error, either by your agency or the original creditor.

As you are no doubt aware, credit bureaus are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy of consumer data under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) : ( 1 ) The banking system depends on accurate and fair credit reporting. Errors disrupt system efficiency and damage consumer trust. ( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have a critical duty to properly assemble and evaluate information on consumers. Given that the reported late payment is erroneous, I am formally requesting that : A full reinvestigation of this item be conducted in accordance with the FCRA. The inaccurate late payment entry be permanently removed from my credit report. My credit file be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. Please consider this a formal dispute under the FCRA. I respectfully request that you provide written confirmation once this error has been investigated and removed.
