Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally complain about PayPal Credit 's violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I believe that my rights as a consumer have been compromised through their actions, and I seek your assistance in addressing these issues. 


I have experienced aggressive and misleading practices from PayPal Credit regarding collecting my debt. Specifically, I have received repeated calls and emails requesting payment without being provided with proper validation of the debt. According to the FDCPA, I am entitled to receive written verification of the debt upon request. I have made multiple requests for this information, but PayPal Credit failed to respond adequately, violating my rights under the FDCPA. 

Additionally, I have faced difficulties accessing my account history and monthly statements. Despite my requests, PayPal Credit has denied me access to this information, which is critical for verifying my account status and managing my financial obligations. Under the FCRA, consumers have the right to access their credit information and account history, and PayPal Credit 's failure to provide this information clearly violates this law. 


I have attempted to obtain my monthly statements from PayPal Credit to review my account activity and ensure the accuracy of my charges. However, I have been unable to access my account history online or through customer service representatives. This lack of transparency is frustrating and obstructs my ability to manage my finances effectively. 

Given these violations, I request that the CFPB investigate PayPal Credit 's practices and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with the FDCPA and FCRA. Furthermore, I urge PayPal Credit to provide me with the necessary documentation regarding my account, including all monthly statements and any validation of the debt they claim I owe.
