Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX PayPal Holdings , Inc. 


PayPal Reference : XXXX XXXX have been using PayPal without any problems for years. However, my son, XXXX XXXX asked me for help money-wise, {$2000.00}. XXXX did not have XXXX or PayPal so I asked XXXX to get XXXX or the other so I XXXX transfer money to him. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX informed me he had a PayPal app. I told XXXX I would send him {$25.00} to see if it would transfer properly, and it did. The PayPal transaction is # XXXX. Up to this point, I had no contact with XXXX XXXX 's name. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent {$2000.00} to XXXX using PayPal and my debit card to XXXX, PayPal Transaction # XXXX. XXXX did not receive the money. When I checked with PayPal and filed a complaint, I noticed XXXX new contacts I did not know about, for a total of XXXX contacts for XXXX XXXX : XXXX ) XXXX XXXX backgroundXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX written below the circle ; XXXX ) XXXX XXXX background, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX written below the circle ; and XXXX ) a blue circle with an icon in the middle of it ( do not know what it represents ), and XXXX XXXX below the circle. 
The PayPal XXXX informed me the {$2000.00} went to the email XXXX my son XXXX informed me that he has never had any XXXX email address. 
First and foremost how did XXXX unauthorized XXXX XXXX contact icons get added to my PayPal page if XXXX nor I requested or put them there? In my opinion, PayPal was hacked and this person who performed the hack put these XXXX false XXXX XXXX contacts on my PayPal account and does, has, or had an email address of XXXX and received my {$2000.00}. If those XXXX unauthorized contacts were not hacked into my account, then my {$2000.00} would have transferred to my son, XXXX as did the {$25.00} I sent him on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Secondly, PayPal informed me that the messages in their message box would be available to me for 3 years as of XX/XX/XXXX. I have not been able to access the message box nor print the messages I had with the PayPal XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX. 
When the PayPal XXXX was asked by me how can I print our conversation, I was informed that they would send me an email with a copy of our conversation, which I have not received as of XX/XX/XXXX. 
I believe that my {$2000.00} should be returned to my debit card since the money was sent to my son XXXX XXXX who had received {$25.00} in a test run on XX/XX/XXXX, and I did not add, or have knowledge of the hacked contacts added to my account.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This situation began in XXXX  when I was living in the XXXX XXXX. My parents in the XXXX XXXX  received a call from Elan Financial Services claiming I owed a debt. I contacted them, and after a very frustrating call in which I explained I did not have an account with them and wasn't in the country- so could not legally have been given any XXXX debt, I formally requested proof of the debt including signed contracts, original amount of debt, any payments made and interest and other charges. I never received any information from them. A year later my parents received a letter, I went through the same process, but no proof of debt was provided. The debt has moved from Elan to various collectors, the most recent being US Bank National Association ND and now XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Each time I request proof of the debt, I don't receive any. And usually the debt gets sold to another collector. 

What can be done about this? Can random companies continue to profit from selling fraudulent debt claims- when they realise they are uncollectible and can not result in profit to them? Is there any recourse for me, having to go through this situation over and over again?

This needs to be removed immediately and when I let Personify know it was identity theft they told me to fill out a form and send it in. When I sent that information a hour later they told me to pretty much kick rocks.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CarMax, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I disputed an auto loan account ( Carmax ) in XXXX because it randomly appeared on my credit. XXXX stated that Carmax responded that they certify the account belongs to me. 
I asked XXXX to send me any documents that Carmax sent but I havent received anything. I called Carmax customer relations department on XX/XX/XXXX to get the information that XXXX cant seem to provide. I explained to the representative at Carmax customer relations that a delinquent auto loan account appeared on my credit over a month ago. I provided my email and was told someone would look into the situation. I received a call back a few days later and the representative told me I needed to reach out to Carmax credit department. They would be the department to dispute any fraudulent accounts. After finally getting a hold of someone I explained the same situation about an auto loan account appeared on my XXXX Credit Report that wasnt mine. I provided my name and last 4 of my social and even the fist few digits of the account number that appeared on my credit report. On Carmax recorded line the representative stated that she didnt seem any auto loan under my information. I volunteered my full social just in case someone else shared the same last 4 digits of my social. She then put me on hold and the told me all she saw was inquiries but no account. I was told that they cant dispute the inquiries. I was told I would receive a fraud form to my email in which I never received. I also explained to her that I had previously disputed the account and told the representative that XXXX results stated that Carmax said they certified it was correct. The Carmax representative in the credit department denied claims that they told XXXX that it was my account because she said based of the information it Carmax would have deleted the account. So now there is a bigger issue. Either XXXX is not actually disputing the account or Carmax doesnt want to take responsibility. This is defamation and violation of the FCRA. This has hurt my credit. I mentioned to the Carmax rep in the credit department that is pending dispute again and she stated she didnt see a dispute. But on my credit report it is being disputed. So now one can seem to verify this debt by sending me actual documents.
