Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I wash charged from my Paypal account by XXXX for a subscription service I have not had since XXXX. XXXX quickly canceled the service after I called them letting them know this was inaccurate. Payment was canceled by XXXX and no goods were sent to me. 
I filed a dispute with Paypal because the payment has posted. Paypal claims that the charge was valid and denies my request for a refund. 
Now my money is gone and I did not receive any goods or services because I did not restart a subscription but Paypal does not believe me despite the proof that I sent them. 
XXXX even said the payment was declined but Paypal refuses to adjust. I even have a screenshot of the declined payment.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute package to TransUnion on XX/XX/year>, regarding fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This package included a police report, proof of identity, and a request for GAAP-compliant verification of the accounts. According to FCRA 1681c-2, TransUnion is required by law to block fraudulent information within 4 business days of receiving proper documentation. However, as of XX/XX/year>, no action had been taken. 

When I contacted a TransUnion representative on XX/XX/XXXX, they falsely claimed that all disputes, including fraud-related ones, follow a 30-day process, which contradicts the FCRA 's clear 4-day blocking requirement for identity theft cases. This misinformation, combined with the failure to block the fraudulent accounts, has caused delays and financial and reputational harm. The dispute system currently indicates that the issue wont be resolved until XX/XX/year>, far exceeding the legal timeframe. 

Additionally, I have filed multiple complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), including CFPB Complaint # XXXX ( submitted XX/XX/year> ) and # XXXX ( submitted XX/XX/year> ). Despite these complaints, TransUnion has failed to comply with its legal obligations, and the fraudulent accounts remain on my report, causing ongoing damage to my financial standing. 

TransUnion has violated its obligations under FCRA by failing to block the fraudulent information within the legally required timeframe and providing false information about the dispute process. This continued mishandling of my personal information and refusal to act is a direct violation of the law and has caused undue hardship.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
From what I understand Bank of America suspected fraud with my checking account and put a freeze on my account on XX/XX/year>. I was not aware of this until XXXX  days later when I attempted to purchase for my car and my debit card was declined. I immediately contacted BoA and was advised about the freeze. The only information that I received on that date and to the date of this complaint is that there is an investigation. The investigation will only allow funds to be received, but nothing going out. At the time I had either {$340.00} or {$430.00} in my account. On XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX the IRS deposited my tax refund of {$5400.00} in my checking account that is frozen. That money was then transferred out without my authorization or advance notice. I have contacted BoA several times to find out what's going on way before my money was transferred and after to no available. Every single person that I have spoken to, which includes at a branch office, consumer department, checking account department, and department tell me that once the investigation/review is complete nothing can be done. If my account is under investigation why was my money transferred before the investigation/review is complete. It is unethical to just take a persons money without authorization. I want my money back immediately until they can speak to me. I was told someone would call me on XX/XX/XXXX and never received a phone call. BofA is not being fair and the way they are handling this is highly suspicious of fraud on their end. 

UPDATE : I provided BoA a police report number that I was told to get from XXXX  per XXXX with Merrill Lynch or BofA to get my money bank. I visited a branch and was told a claim would be reopened and the police report would be included. I followed up by phone and was told the claim was never reopened. The only claim that was open, which I never knew about initially, was closed. Bank of American sent me a check for {$15.00} XXXX weeks ago. No other money has been sent to me. If I owe BofA or Merrilly Lynch why send me any money regardless of the amount?
