Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I reviewed my credit report and noticed information that was incorrect with 2 of my accounts. According to XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion I was late on these accounts, which is completely false, as I have already verified this information with the creditors. I proceeded with sending XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion dispute letters outlining what was incorrect on my file. 

TransUnion sent me a response to my dispute on XX/XX/2022 stating they did not understand the nature of my dispute, which I think is a stall tactic and violation of the FCRA, because I was very clear that I was disputing the status of my accounts, reflecting incorrect payment history. 

I have yet to receive a response from XXXX on their investigation results and it has now been over 30 days since I sent in my dispute letter. 

XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion are both in direct violation of US Code 1681a Paragraph 2, which states " Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ''.

And according to the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), 15 U.S. Code 1666-1666j the creditor must provide me with PROOF that I was indeed late but they CAN NOT! 

As an XXXX XXXX it is already hard to navigate the stigma within this country 's financial institutions and having erroneous information reporting on my credit profile just makes it so much difficult for me to be a able to provide a better quality of life for my family. 

Please help me correct this erroneous information!!!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA Equifax and XXXX are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files. XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance XXXX {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1200.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance : {$870.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX ; If Equifax and XXXX feel there is a possibility these items belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each item is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If Equifax and XXXX do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I recently received this email from the company Paypal : " You can no longer use PayPal After a review, we decided to permanently limit your account as we found potential risk associated with it. 

As a result, we can no longer offer PayPal services to you. 

Any bank or credit card information thats linked to your PayPal account can not be removed nor can it be added to another account. You can still log in and see your account information but you cant send or receive money. 

If you have funds in your PayPal balance, it will be held for up to 180 days. After that, well email you with information on how to access your funds. '' I have been a member of Paypal for 18 years without any issues. Paypal has given me no warning and no reason for my account freeze. I have contacted them multiple times over the phone to no avail. They do not offer any sort of dispute or resolution process in order to remedy the freeze on my account.. I have a large balance being held within my Paypal account as it was being used as a digital wallet for online banking and I have a debit/credit account with them. My balance and funds are currently frozen in the account for 180 days and I have no way to access these funds. Many members are finding that after 180 days Paypal are basically confiscating ( stealing ) the remaining funds and give members no recourse. There is currently a large class action lawsuit in arbitration against this company as thousands of users have experienced the same situation as I have outlined.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Charged {$74.00} and then {$34.00} for 3 days totaling {$170.00} in fees then an additional {$25.00} fee. This was a bank mistake as I had previously asked for my card to not accept charges of balance is not available. In addition, no where in my agreement with the bank did I agree to being charged multiple fees for same day transactions. They are taking advantage of me by charges multiple fees for the same day of being overdrawn. I was never notified by text or email that the account was overdrawn so I never had a chance to fix it. They sent a letter in the mail which took a week to arrive. I have gave them permission to text and email me so why would they not communicate as soon as this issue has arrived.
