Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CT

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 "

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Missouri Laws Dear EXETER FIN, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), and Missouri state identity theft and credit reporting laws, specifically Section 570.223 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that EXETER FIN has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consumers consent is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Missouris identity theft statutes, particularly Section 570.223, criminalize the unauthorized use of personal identifying information, including the illegal access, use, or dissemination of personal data for fraudulent purposes. This includes unauthorized credit reporting that impacts a consumers financial standing.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for EXETER FIN to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a clear violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and Missouri state laws.

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that EXETER FIN immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Missouri state law under Section 570.223. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including Missouris identity theft statutes.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Missouri law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. 

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that EXETER FIN will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. 

Done in good faith.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2023 In response to a vacation rental ad my wife & I sent money through Paypal for a deposit. The rental ad was fraudulent. Because the transaction was through Paypal 's " Friends and Family '' Paypal took no responsibility for the fraudulent transaction and has not complied with requests to provide information about the fraudulent poster. My local police dept detectives have also tried to no avail. I spoke with the fraudster before the money transferred ( on ar about XX/XX/2023 ) and he disappeared after the money transferred. All indications are that this person is in the US. XXXX XXXX is the name used. A XXXX search of the phone number used and that name came up with a person on XXXX XXXX XXXX  who may or may not be the fraudster. The account name on Paypal was XXXX. We lost {$650.00} in this transaction. 
In a separate incident my credit card was charged through my Paypal account by a company ( XXXX XXXX ) with whom I have never done business.I gave no authoriztion for the charges and didn't know about them until they showed up on my bill. Paypall claimed that they were recurring charges which they approved. That is false. Their " solution '' was for me to challenge the charges with my credit card company. I did this and had the charges removed. However Paypal should be held accountable for this activity and their lack of assistance.

Additionally Paypall 's security is useless. They claim that e-mails with a certain greeting at the top are the only ones that are legitimate. I have received and responded to fake e-mails with that exact type of greeting.They were fraudulent and the sender tried to get me to send money to clear up an alleged problem with my account. Fortunately I was not duped at that time. I realized later by looking at my account that this fraudster had set up dozens of transactions in the thousands on my Paypall account that were set to go through had I fallen for their ploy.

I find Paypall 's business practices deplorable and request that CFPB hold them accountable. I believe the " Friends and Family '' designation is nothing more than an opportunity for fraudulent transactions to take place. Paypall gets their commission and does nothing to help those who were defrauded.
