Last year I had applied for the XXXX program and was coming up on payments, but then heard nothing until a few weeks before my first 'payment ' was supposed to be due. I had to contact them to figure out what was going on and eventually they told me it would be fixed but gave absolutely no details on how. No emails were sent or received and I had to log on myself to see they had pushed back my first due date.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
I am a Paypal card holder and was using my account to deposit and withdraw my small online slot game winnings given that the slot game offers Paypal as a form of payment. Paypal has now permanently limited my account to the point where I can not withdraw my money or removed a debit card that I had linked to the account. I both verbally verified with them that I am not a buyer or seller of anything as well submitted online the purpose of the transactions. I feel I have been treated like a common criminal by Paypal. 

The Customer Service agents are of no help whatsoever. I have been told that I have to wait as long as 180 days before I can even consider trying to get my money. 

Any help would be appreciated.

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.
