Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding inaccurate and potentially duplicative " Charge Off '' entries reported on my credit file, which are materially harming my credit standing and may be in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. Despite prior dispute efforts, the following accounts continue to reflect erroneous or misrepresented charge-off statuses : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) reported XXXX times with the same opening date ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and balance ( {$100000.00} ) marked " Charge Off '' XXXX XXXX ( Account : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) opened XX/XX/XXXX, balance {$48000.00} marked " Charge Off '' XXXX XXXXXXXX ( Account : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) opened XX/XX/XXXX, balance {$2300.00} marked " Charge Off '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) opened XX/XX/XXXX, balance {$22000.00} marked " Charge Off '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ) opened XX/XX/XXXX, balance {$860.00} marked " Charge Off '' XXXX ( Account : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) opened XX/XX/XXXX, balance {$180.00} marked " Charge Off '' Issues Raised : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is being reported multiple times for the same debt, which appears to be a violation of the FCRA 's accuracy requirements under 1681i.

Some charge-offs may lack proper substantiation or be outdated under FCRA 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) - ( 5 ), especially if they exceed the reporting time limits or lack recent verification.

There is no indication these furnishers provided proper notice of the charge-off status in compliance with FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 7 ).

The emotional, financial, and credit access harm resulting from these errors has included credit denials, higher rates, and reputational damage. 

I have previously disputed these entries through the credit reporting agencies and did not receive adequate responses or corrections. 

Request for Relief : A full investigation into each listed account for compliance with the FCRA 's accuracy, verification, and reporting limits.

Removal of any duplicate or unverifiable " Charge Off '' entries.

Confirmation of updated reporting directly to me and all three bureaus ( Equifax, Experian, XXXX  ). 

Attached Documentation : Credit report excerpts with disputed accounts highlighted. 

Copies of previous dispute letters and responses from credit bureaus or furnishers. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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.

Complaint narrative:
PayPal allowed a rogue merchant to take XXXX bucks from my card. The rogue merchant shows on their store as a merchant. I did not authorize the payment. Why would I authorize payment for a merchant that I don't know. 
Also when attempting to call the merchant and investigate, they are allowed to show in PayPal 's platform without an address or phone number. They are a scam. PayPal doesn't want to give me my XXXX bucks back because they claim I authorized this. I didn't. They are running an incompetent and fraudulent platform. As you can see, there is no phone number in the merchant 's account .. how is this not fraud??
