Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I ordered a laptop and a phone from a company. The phone was received and no problems. The laptop was not in stock for shipment and I confirmed that a refund was provided to PayPal. I was not aware when ordering and after delay and refund request I was notified by the company that they were having problems with PayPal. I thought to immediately resolve transaction with PayPal for funds to fill requirement. I was told by PayPal there would be a wait and then decided to immediately access funds disputing the transaction with my bank instead. PaypPal is firmly stating I need handle the harassment by paying the collection agency while only providing a document after my request of one return payment but claims they paid twice to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX {$2000.00} regardless of my bank statements sent to the executive office from which I've had email contact showing the complete range questioned for a second deposit/return. This might be a scam because it is difficult for me to have to understand how their error is possible. I'm hoping an authority with authorization to transactions can review if PayPal actually had a process that allowed two payments

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/2024 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Violations by PORTFOLIO RECOV ASSOC. Account Number : XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against PORTFOLIO RECOV ASSOC . for alleged debt purportedly owed to PORTFOLIO RECOV ASSOC., with account number XXXX. I believe that this agency has violated several provisions of federal regulations, including 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ), and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ).

Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) : This regulation requires debt collectors to provide validation information upon request by the consumer. Despite my repeated requests, PORTFOLIO RECOV ASSOC. has failed to provide any validation information regarding the alleged debt.

Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) : This provision ensures that consumers have the opportunity to dispute the accuracy of the debt before it is reported to consumer reporting agencies. However, I have not been given any opportunity to dispute the account with PORTFOLIO RECOV ASSOC. before it was placed on my consumer report.

Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ) : These regulations require debt collectors to accurately report information about consumers ' debts and ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information reported to consumer reporting agencies. By reporting the alleged debt without providing any validation information and without giving me a chance to dispute the account, PORTFOLIO RECOV ASSOC. has violated these regulations. 

Furthermore, I believe that PORTFOLIO RECOV ASSOC. has engaged in false, misleading, and deceptive practices by furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies without providing the required disclosures. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against PORTFOLIO RECOV ASSOC. for its violations of federal regulations. Additionally, I request that the collection account associated with account number XXXX be removed from my consumer report immediately, as it is based on inaccurate and unverified information. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
