Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I transferred {$1600.00} from my PayPal account to my bank. The transfer was recorded by my bank on XX/XX/XXXX but on XX/XX/XXXX this transfer was automatically reversed by the bank due to an account number discrepancy that prevented the bank from accepting the transfer. This can be seen in the attached screenshot from my bank records. The funds have not been returned to my PayPal account nor have they been credited to my bank account. At this time, these funds are missing. I have used the facilities provided by PayPal to resolve this issue. I opened a case with PayPal on XX/XX/XXXX. That case number is XXXX XXXX My case and subsequent appeal has been denied as PayPal has determined that the initial transfer transaction appears to have been completed successfully. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I obtained the XXXX reversal transaction trace ID from my bank. That number is XXXX. That same day, XX/XX/XXXX, I provided PayPal with this information with the request that they trace the transfer to determine what has happened with the funds. It appears that PayPal did not take investigative action with respect to the additional information I provided nor did I receive any correspondence or contact from PayPal to further clarify the specifics of my case. The additional information I provided was specifically related to the trace number ( # XXXX ) provided by my bank to facilitate research of my banks reversal transaction transferring funds back to PayPal. Funds which have not yet been credited back to my PayPal account.

With regard to submitting issues to PayPal through their on-line facilities, I am limited to reporting problems related to transactions initiated from my PayPal account however,
my issue is with a bank reversal transaction initiated by my bank. I have no way of identifying this type of transaction from within PayPal 's resolution center. Additionally, I only had one opportunity to appeal or dispute PayPal 's determination and there are no other ways to escalate my case that I have found.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. 
I further remind you that, as in White v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. Court, ( CD California 2014 ) ; you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of discharged accounts. 
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or another instrument bearing my signature. 
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt. 
I request this under 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the false reporting isnt removed ; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995 ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/23 at XXXX, I was connected with XXXX XXXX XXXX Aidvantage ( employee number XXXX ). I am signed up for the XXXX repayment plan and have several loans which are well over 20 years since origination. Per documentation found at studentaid.gov, under the XXXX plan, loans at least XXXX XXXX XXXX are supposed to be eligible for forgiveness. I asked XXXX which loans would be eligible and when I can expect them to be forgiven. XXXX did not know the answer to that question and I sat on the phone while she visited studentaid.gov to try and find the answer. XXXX was not able to either answer my question or connect me with someone at Aidvantage who could provide this info. On XX/XX/23, I filed a request with studentaid.gov to see if they could provide info. Despite them sending me an email stating they would respond within 15 days ( attached to this complaint ), I have not been contacted by them. I am supposed to enter repayment this month, but can not without being provided with the information I am requesting. Furthermore, when waiting to talk to XXXX at Aidvantage, the pre-recorded message says that I will receive my first bill at least 30 days before the first payment is due. XXXX said it would be provided at least 21 days before my first payment is due. Not only was she NOT able to rectify which time period was correct, but it is XX/XX/23, and I still have not received my bill, so I am unsure as to when my first payment is due. I verified with XXXX that I am supposed to receive all correspondence including bills via mail, but have not received anything.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have writing several dispute letters disputing the reporting of late payments on my XXXX XXXX XXXX account, as reflected on my credit report. I believe that Equifax, as a consumer reporting agency, has violated the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), particularly regarding the reporting of information during the XXXX pandemic. As a result of the unprecedented circumstances created by the XXXX pandemic, I, like millions of other individuals, have faced significant financial challenges. These challenges have included job losses, reduced income, and unexpected expenses, making it difficult to fulfill all of my financial obligations in a timely manner. In accordance with the FCRA Section 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), it is imperative that consumer reporting agencies, such as Equifax, report accurate and up-to-date information. Given the unique circumstances brought about by the XXXX pandemic, it is essential that these reporting agencies consider and properly reflect the impact this global crisis has had on individuals ' ability to meet their financial obligations. Additionally, Prior to the pandemic, I maintained a good payment history with XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, as a direct result of the pandemic 's adverse impact on my financial situation, I experienced difficulty in meeting the original payment terms. In response to this situation, I proactively contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and provided evidence of my financial hardship, including documentation of reduced income and increased medical expenses incurred during the pandemic. Recognizing the exceptional circumstances, XXXX XXXX XXXX granted me a temporary payment arrangement, allowing me to catch up on my missed payments gradually. Regrettably, these accurate and agreed-upon details have not been properly reflected on my credit report maintained by Equifax. Equifax is also reporting my XXXX XXXX  account as open with a balance this is incorrect. My XXXX XXXX account has been PAID, CLOSED with a {$0.00} balence. Please view attachment below.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been battling with APPLE CARD/GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA for over 6 months regarding billing issues amongst other things. I have sent them several mailings to which no response has been given, I have reached out via text messages and eventually they just decided to charge off the account instead of providing documentation I requested other than monthly statements. I have in numerous occassions brought to their attention this is credit line that is for personal and household use, I have requested proper accounting and for them to review the billing errors, no response and no action taken on their behalf. I have also disputed this account several times with the credit reporting agencies and it comes back as dispute " solved '' yet I have not been notified of said investigation process nor how they have " validated and verified '' said information to be true and accurate. My final mailing to APPLE CARD/GOLDMAN SACHS BANK was in XXXX and I still do not have any response. I am formally complaining to CFPB as it is my undertanding this is the correct way to start my process and get this issue resolved as it is causing me damages. I am providing a copy of what my consumer credit report shows as of today, a copy of my last mailing to APPLE CARD/GOLDMAN SACHS BANK , a copy of the AGREEMENT, and one last and final question : the IRS considers charge-offs to be income. However, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA specifically prohibits the reporting of income on consumer credit reports, with that in mind, APPLE CARD/GOLDMAN SACHS BANK has several violations without getting into detailed review of their actions.
