Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: VW Credit
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Volkswagen XXXX XXXX for providing inaccurate information to credit reporting agencies, which has negatively impacted my credit score. 

On [ XX/XX/XXXX ], Volkswagen XXXX XXXX reported that I had XXXX late payments on my account ( Account Number : [ XXXX ] ), which is incorrect. I have always made timely payments through their auto-payment system. Volkswagen has admitted their mistake in a letter dated [ XX/XX/XXXX of VWs letter ], confirming that I have never missed a payment. 

Despite this admission, the incorrect information remains on my credit report, and Volkswagen has not taken sufficient steps to correct it with the relevant credit reporting agencies. 

I have contacted Volkswagen directly and submitted a formal dispute with the credit reporting agencies, but the issue persists. I am requesting the CFPB 's assistance in ensuring that Volkswagen rectifies the incorrect reporting and that my credit report is corrected promptly.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I was scammed after I tried to call the XXXX customer service line on XX/XX/XXXX after receiving an email telling me my account, which I thought I deleted years ago, was hacked. I called, and a person picked up. They told me that my IP address had been compromised because the hackers from XXXX were using cryptocurrency and in order to track them down and remove the flags on my account they needed me to follow their steps. When proceeding with the steps they remotely began recording my screen, and received my Venmo information, their transfer went to my brother and then back to my account which they seem to have taken afterward. They then made me move over to my PayPal account. After losing a total of {$1500.00} through their scam, I realized it was a scam and reported to Venmo and Paypal what had happened. Paypal had not approved the transfers, so nothing happened there and no issue/claim was filed because I still had the money, but Venmo took a claim on XX/XX/XXXX for the transfers that are still pending on my account. I looked up similar issues people have had online, and people list that they hack into XXXX and rig the accounts, and then when you call XXXX 's helpline they hack in and pretend to be assisting you. I also filed a claim with XXXX after purchasing two gift cards for {$400.00} and {$500.00} dollars after their instruction in order to " lay a trap for the hackers to use the gift card numbers '' but " a credit line would be issued to me within 24 hours to refund the money so that I wouldn't be getting charged. '' It's very recent after my claims so I'm not sure if I will be refunded, but I figured I'd better fill this out in case.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

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. ''
