Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I contacted PayPal about a incorrect late fee charge for the month of XXXX. I filed a complaint and provided proof that the payment was made on time and they choose not to reverse the late fee charge. My monthly payment is due on the XXXX of every month. I made the payment for XXXX on time XX/XX/year> and PayPal posted the payment 3 days later and charged my account with a {$34.00} late fee. I made my payment for XXXX on XX/XX/year> and PayPal has also posted that payment 3 days later XX/XX/year> and I'm sure a late fee has been assessed once again. My question is how can PayPal charge a late fee for on time payments? It's not my fault that they choose to post the payment 3 days. later. This seems to be a on going practice with PayPal and it needs to be addressed. I informed PayPal that the payment was indeed paid on time and my account should not be assessed the {$34.00} late fee. I asked PayPal to reverse the late fee charge and provided proof but they still refuse to reverse the late fee charge. It seems that they are trying to make more money off the consumer by assessing these incorrect late fees and it needs to be addressed and stopped. UNFAIR late fee charges need to stop.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I called my bank Wells Fargo after noticing that my bank was being charged for multiple locations when I was at work. During my break I went to a XXXX XXXX  and by mistake left my card in the card holder. The man who wad standing behind me was a little to close when I was paying, so I feel like it was him who saw. I went back to work and didn't notice I had left my card there. While I'm working I noticed a charge for almost {$300.00} at a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and then I notice that {$200.00} was taken out from an atm and then another {$200.00} and {$10.00} dollars from the gas station were the atm was, I immediately locked the card and put it as fraudulent but the person who stole the card still kept buying at other locations even if the card was locked. I called the bank and they said they can't do anything about it since the pin was put in, but it was not me I was working. Yet the bank still charged me {$35.00} dollars 4 times for being negative on my account, when it wasn't even me. My complaint is that the bank does not want to run an investigation, or give me my money back for the {$850.00} dollar charges that were not made by me. I was robbed of that money by a person who committed the fraud. It is unfair to me that the bank does not care.
