Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, a XXXX customer purchased a product from our companys independent website for the amount of {$370.00}. The payment was processed via PayPal as an authorized payment, with the authorization period valid until XX/XX/year>. 
During the authorization period, I attempted multiple times to capture the payment, but all attempts failed. After the authorization expired, the funds were automatically returned to the customers credit card. However, we had already shipped the product, and the customer has received it. 
According to PayPals Receiving Funds and Transfer Agreement, authorized funds that are frozen should be automatically released to the available balance upon expiration. However, in this case, the amount was refunded to the customers credit card instead. 
I have tried to communicate with the customer regarding this issue, but they have not responded to emails or answered phone calls. I also contacted PayPal customer support, but they were unable to resolve the matter.

My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history.

They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.
