Complaint narrative:
My PayPal business account was taken over ( Account Takeover - ATO ) by an unknown person who added an unauthorized XXXX device, email, and phone number to my account. 

They then made a fraudulent charge of {$620.00} through XXXX XXXX I never authorized the transaction or the added credentials, and I did not receive any notification or verification prompt from PayPal. 

I reported this to PayPal and was told that because the device had access, it appeared " authorized. '' I escalated and provided formal reports : FTC Report XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Despite this, PayPal still denied my claim. This is a serious breach of account security and a failure on PayPals part to detect or prevent unauthorized access. 

I am seeking a full refund of {$620.00} and a written explanation of how my account was accessed without triggering any alerts.

Complaint narrative:
I am so displeased with the way my information was used. I was trying to buy a home for my family, and I got denied due to damages on my consumer credit report. This is defamation of my character, and it's hindering my success. I take my livelihood very seriously, and I expected you all to as well. According to 15 U.S.C & 1681, you are supposed to promote fairness and accuracy on my credit report. But all I see are fraudulent and unauthorized accounts. I have been a part of several breaches, so at this point, you all should be protecting my privacy. This is detrimental to my emotional and psychological health to the point I had to have my pastor pray for me several times. I don't have access to buy a house now. I am enforcing my rights, and I expect you to be more ethical with my information. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, not one credit reporting agency shouldn't be reporting any inaccurate information anyways due to neglect use considering that I was in breach. I need help now so I can proceed to buy my family a house.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. PayPal permanently limited my account and placed a 180-day hold on my funds without providing a valid reason.

I fully verified my identity, provided all requested documentation, and won all disputes filed against me. There are no chargebacks or unresolved claims on my account and pay pal knows Im not a business. Despite this, PayPal marked my account as high risk and said the funds would be held for 180 days
under Reference ID : XXXX. 

I repeatedly contacted PayPal and asked for clarification, but they refused to give a specific reason for the account limitation. Their final response stated that the decision was permanent and any future communication may not receive a response.

I rely on those funds for basic survival rent, food, and medical needs. I have done nothing to justify this treatment, and I believe PayPal is unlawfully withholding my money and refusing me due process.

Im requesting that the CFPB investigate this case, require PayPal to provide a proper explanation, and facilitate the early release of my funds.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers. 

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, when I woke up from a nap around XXXX XXXX, I noticed several pending charges on my account that I had not made. I immediately called my bank ( Chime ). They said they can't do anything until the transactions post, and to call the merchant. So I do. The charges total almost {$600.00}. I called XXXX because at this point it's XXXX XXXX, and at that its the only merchant I can contact. I personally use XXXX and have the XXXX, which was clearly charged to my XXXX account a week or so ago. When I call XXXX, I give the last 4 numbers of my card, and sure enough! I didn't make these charges ; some lady named XXXX XXXX did. It is clearly shown that a second XXXX subscription has been bought with a card in the amount of {$9.00}. XXXX also says they can't do anything until the transaction posts. All of the charges are to a hotel in Ohio. I live in Florida. And my account clearly shows I have not been traveling anywhere. Who goes on vacation from Florida to Ohio anyway? 

The next morning, I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is in ... guess where? You guessed it. OHIO. The girl is very sympathetic. I give her the last four digits of my card. I hear her in the background, " Oh, I know who this is. '' However, she puts me on hold, speaks to her boss, and comes back to say that they can not release any further information.

Finally, when the transactions post, I am able to dispute them with my bank. When I call, they say she used a card that was reported lost a few years back. This is on the XXXX. This morning ( XX/XX/XXXX ), the investigation concluded that they will not be returning my money. I have filed a rebuttal and requested information on why the first investigation was closed in the first place. I have not received them yet. I have banked with Chime for over ten years, and I have probably had only one dispute in that whole time. I did not make these charges ; I should not be held liable for them. I reported them in an extremely timely fashion. I did not do anything wrong. My money is FDIC-insured and should be returned to me immediately.

There is no way that two simple phone calls proved to me that it wasn't me, but their " investigator '' didn't come to the same conclusions.
