Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and XXXX  stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a {$100.00} Vanilla Gift Visa gift card for my sister for her birthday at a XXXX store on XX/XX/2023. On XX/XX/2023, she attempted to use the card, only to find out the balance on it was {$0.00}. When she checked the balance online, she found someone had made a {$100.00} purchase online at XXXX at XXXX AM on XX/XX/2023. Someone else had drained the funds before she even had a chance. I had inspected the packaging to make sure there were no cuts, tears, or any other signs of tampering to make certain no one else had gotten the card numbers off the front or security code off the back that would allow them to use the card without having the physical copy. I submitted a dispute to XXXX Bank on XX/XX/2023, but because I did purchase the card, they declined my dispute. I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/2023 and they explained that it " happens all the time with those cards, '' but the obvious fraud isn't enough for them to remove them from shelves. I tried to resolve the issue through Vanillagift.com on XX/XX/2023, but since submitting the documentation they requested, I have yet to receive a reply, I can not get anyone on the phone to check on my dispute, and now the card has been blocked on their site so I can't even track it there. Someone stole money from me and my sister, but apparently no one is accountable. The only recourse I have left is to go to the police and file a petty theft report.

Complaint narrative:
I hope everything is going smoothly for you. I'm just writing to let you know that my credit report contains a number of inconsistencies. 

I won't go all legal on you, but I am aware that I have the option to ask for a new copy of my credit report that contains the updated information. Please do that for me ; I'd appreciate it. I appreciate you reading this and your time.

I have to admit that I am anxious about everything. It's as if you think everything is fine with your finances one minute, and then, bam, you find out that your credit report contains errors. You know, it's not a good feeling ; it feels like you've been hearing bad news all day. It's just a little unexpected, and it's made me defensive.

I'm not only shocked, but I'm also worried about what this might imply for my future. Inaccurate or incorrect information on a credit report is equivalent to receiving an F in math when you know you're an A student, since credit reports are like financial report cards. To put it mildly, it's disturbing, and it has me pondering how this may affect my future behavior.

My credit report should, in the end, accurately reflect my financial situation, is all I really want. Having this inaccurate data floating around feels like a huge knot in the system for me as an average person trying to keep my financial ducks in a row. I'm depending on you to help me set the record straight. 

Again, I want to thank you for looking into this for me. I'm hoping we can resolve this so I can stop worrying about it. 

I'm hoping to hear from you soon.

Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was trying to issue a refund for {$6.00} on a transaction completed on PayPal business. Payals system gave me an error saying it didnt go through and to try again. I did this a few times with the same error ( I captured image of this once ). Follow up realize that afternoon PayPal has now taken {$6.00} out of my account 4 times! Throughout this it never said it was happening and yet it did it four times.

I reached out to PayPal who tell me it is my fault. I am not technologically challenged. I followed the messages at told me to by PayPal try again. So now PayPal has unauthorized quite frankly all of the 4 refunds seeing as I never got to a confirmed state in completing them. PayPal has refused any help and a token {$10.00} credit. This is not my fault and i am offended they keep putting this on to me. They are unwilling to accept their technology flaws and many consumers would stop there. But the principle of the issue is a concern for me. What happens to other consumers who dont know how to argue with them. They need to accept they are half a technology company and technology errors on their part are not the consumers fault. 

I want them to see these issues. I want them to give me back the Money they have taken from my account ( now {$24.00} ). I want them to be accountable to looking into their technology error messages and what it does to the consumer. This is not acceptable.

Company response to consumer: Closed with monetary relief
