Complaint narrative:
The following companies have violated my rights and the Fair Credit Reporting Act by reporting incorrect information on my credit report. 
Recently I checked my credit report and noticed multiple billing errors under 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) billing error - ( 4 ) The creditor 's failure to reflect properly on a statement a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor.

( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement.

As I know the creditor didn't notify me 21 days before with a statement so there should be no late payments on these accounts. I demanded to see hard solid proof from the creditor bank account that I didn't pay and was marked late because this was clearly a billing error. 
The items below should all be updated as agreed on my consumer report. 
also, The Consumer reporting agency has published defamatory and false statements of alleged facts to my consumer reports, and Doing so has caused and will continue to harm me and my standing. The information reported entails private personal information which they have no right to communicate or convey to anyone without my written consent pursuant to 15 USC 1692c ( a ).

Complaint narrative:
I want to dispute these accounts because it was affecting my credit report, it was caused by Identity Theft. I did not make these charges. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. These accounts were taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, these accounts shouldn't be in my report. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I hope this message finds you well. I am a XXXX  and work in XXXX XXXX I am reaching out to address a critical issue related to my PayPal account. 

On the evening of XX/XX/XXXX, at around XXXXXXXX XXXX I received multiple email confirmations from XXXX  for orders purportedly placed through my PayPal account. These were unauthorized transactions, and upon logging in, I discovered several XXXX transactions totaling over {$8000.00}. Someone purchased XXXX puffer jackets from XXXX and ordered them to be shipped to XXXX, XXXX. 

I immediately initiated a dispute through PayPal ( Case XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ). Due to this being at night time, I was not able to get a hold of any paypal representative and the paypal website only allowed by to open an online dispute. 

Taking swift action, I changed my PayPal password and removed my card/bank information. The following morning, I engaged with PayPal customer support, RECORDING THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION. I was reassured several times by the customer support that they have made a note of my phone call and the transactions will not be allowed to go through and that I am " fully protected against this fraud ''. I actually also called lululemon customer support and provided them details of the issue and they also assured me that they will take action to rectify the situation ( they did not ). I have the recorded call from XXXX as well. 

However, later that day, paypal allowed all pending transactions to proceed, leading to a negative balance of approximately XXXX XXXXs of XX/XX/XXXX. 

I find it perplexing that, despite all of these transactions happening at the same time and with the same merchant, PayPal categorized some transactions as unauthorized while deeming most of the remaining others as authorized, resulting in the accrual of a significant owed amount. 

I am seeking immediate clarification and resolution. The discrepancies in PayPal 's handling of the dispute, coupled with the resulting negative balance, are causing considerable distress. I implore you to thoroughly investigate and rectify the unauthorized transactions. 

Paypal has a policy of sending such cases to debts/collections department after XXXX  days of negative balance in the account and I feel that I should not be liable for this as it was paypal 's poor handling of the case that led to this. On my end, i did my due diligence and reported unauthorized transactions to paypal IMMEDIATELY and while they were still pending. 

Dispute cases opened ( and closed by paypal without proper review ) : XX/XX/XXXX : XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Regards
