Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report.

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On Saturday, XX/XX/year>, {$400.00} was withdrawn from my USAA account via XXXX XXXX under fraudulent pretenses. Although I technically approved the transaction, it was done as a result of deceptive misrepresentation by the recipient, which constitutes fraud. 

I had no prior transactions or relationship with this person. The message attached to the payment ( XXXX XXXX  ) was vague and misleading. This was a first-time payment, and the requestor insisted on using only XXXX XXXX a XXXX  flag tactic often used by scammers. 

I submitted a formal fraud dispute to USAA. Despite the context and strong indicators of fraud, the dispute was initially mishandled and appeared to disregard consumer protections under Regulation XXXX, which still apply in cases of fraudulently induced authorizations. 

I am requesting the following : Permanent reversal of the {$400.00} loss Written acknowledgment that this qualifies as an unauthorized electronic funds transfer under Regulation XXXX, specifically as a result of misrepresentation A clear explanation for the initial mishandling of the dispute Confirmation that USAA has conducted a compliance review and will implement corrective internal safeguards to prevent future regulatory lapses Consumers are protected under XXXX XXXX XXXX ( m ) and related guidance even when authorization is obtained through deception. I expect immediate correction, restitution, and formal acknowledgment of XXXX  legal obligations.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: CADENCE BANK
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Between XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, Cadence Bank charged me multiple overdraft fees despite the money being available in my account at the time of transaction. On several occasions, I noticed that deposits or pending credits were delayed in posting, even though they should have covered the transactions. 

I also tested this by contacting customer service. I was told I had a 24-hour window to correct the negative balance before a fee would be assessed but the fees were often applied instantly, contradicting what I was told.

In some cases, I was charged multiple overdraft fees in one day, or the order of transactions seemed to have been manipulated, making my account appear negative when it shouldnt have been. I believe this constitutes an unfair and deceptive practice, and I am requesting a full investigation and refund of improper fees.

I can provide statements and screenshots to support this.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a written dispute to TransUnion via certified mailing it was received on XX/XX/XXXX according to the stamp on the green tracking card regarding unverifiable accounts and received no results. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a representative who confirmed there were no results in the system. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that a letter was supposedly mailed on XX/XX/XXXX but I never received it, and TransUnion has no tracking number or proof of delivery. I have USPS Informed Delivery, which shows all incoming mail, and no letter from TransUnion has been delivered. The dispute is also not reflected as resolved in my TransUnion dispute portal, and I received no email update either. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ), they are required to notify me of the results within 5 business days of completion, which did not happen. I am requesting immediate removal of the disputed accounts from my TransUnion file as required under federal law.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, PayPal restricted my account with a balance of {$2000.00}. With reference ID : XXXX. I was not informed of any violation, and I reached out to them. They claimed I was using PayPal outside their jurisdiction. Im originally from XXXX, but currently reside in XXXX for business. I was not aware that XXXX is outside their supported regions. 

They told me I would need to wait 180 days to withdraw my funds. However, a day before the 180-day period ended, PayPal deducted XXXX XXXX from my balance without any notice or explanation. I contacted them again, and they refused to disclose the reason. 

Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, PayPal removed the rest of my balance without warning or justification. This is my hard-earned money from legitimate business transactions with buyers. I am confident the transactions were clean, and PayPal is welcome to verify with those who sent the funds.

I believe PayPal is taking unfair advantage of my location and withholding my funds against their own policies. This situation has caused me significant distress, and Im requesting that the full amount be returned to me.
