Consumer complaint received 2025-11-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint as my XX/XX/XXXX formal request for the permanent removal of multiple inaccurate, unverifiable, and unauthorized items that continue to appear on my credit report despite my prior disputes, including charged-off accounts, a collection, and unauthorized inquiries. The charged-off accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00} ), XX/XX/XXXX ( {$1500.00} ), and XX/XX/XXXX ( {$1900.00} ) XX/XX/XXXXremain reported without proper verification, and no documentation, including the required Form XXXX for debts above {$600.00}, has been provided to confirm their legitimacy. Under FCRA XXXX ( b ) [ 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( b ) ], credit reporting agencies must maintain maximum possible accuracy, and FCRA XXXX ( a ) [ 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ] mandates thorough reinvestigation of disputed information. Because these accounts can not be verified, they must be permanently deleted. Additionally, the collection account XXXXXX/XX/XXXX ( {$0.00} )XX/XX/XXXX continues to appear despite showing no outstanding obligation, which violates FCRA XXXX / 15 U.S.C. XXXX, FDCPA XXXX [ 15 U.S.C. XXXX ], and XXXX XXXX [ 15 U.S.C. XXXX ], requiring proper verification and prohibiting false or misleading reporting. Furthermore, the following inquiries appear without my authorization : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX. Under FCRA XXXX [ 15 U.S.C. XXXX ], XXXX ( a ) [ 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( a ) ], and XXXX ( f ) [ 15 U.S.C. XXXX ( f ) ], consumer reports may only be accessed for a permissible purpose, and these inquiries can not be verified as authorized. Because all of these accounts, collection, and inquiries are unverifiable or unauthorized, I am formally demanding their permanent removal from my credit report. This is not a request for correction ; it is a legal demand for complete deletion. Continued reporting constitutes willful violation of federal law and may expose the reporting bureau to liability.

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up complaint regarding Equifax 's XXXX reporting of inaccurate, unverifiable, and misleading information on my credit file in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ). Despite my previous disputes, the same problem remains unresolved. Equifax repeatedly failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation or provide proper validation as required under XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ( a ). 
Under XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, consumer reporting agencies are obligated to ensure that all reported data is accurate, complete, and properly verified. Moreover, XXXX U.S.C.

The continued failure to correct and validate this disputed information constitutes a violation of my consumer rights and subjects Equifax to potential regulatory and civil liability.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
XXXX  has repeatedly withheld my personal funds without lawful basis or clear explanation. My account was frozen, and transactions were placed on hold, even though XXXX  provided no documentation showing a policy violation. Their only explanation referenced a supposed duplicate account, but they have failed to provide any evidence or records proving this. Without notice or due process, they restricted my access to my own money and caused financial harm. 

I have contacted XXXX  multiple times requesting a review, the specific policy I allegedly violated, and the evidence supporting their actions. They have not provided any documentation, timelines, or meaningful resolution. My funds were withheld for multiple consecutive business days, affecting my ability to meet essential expenses. 

I am requesting the CFPB to investigate XXXX improper withholding of funds, failure to provide required disclosures, lack of transparency, and failure to provide consumers with due process before restricting accounts. I am seeking release of all funds, documentation supporting their decision, and compensation for the damages caused by their repeated account freezes.

I demand that this late payment be immediately removed from my consumer report.
