Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
my truist account was recently closed without warning, and now the bank is holding my funds with no timeline for release. i was told my account is under review by an analyst, and that i have to wait but no one can tell me how long the process takes, or why the funds are being held. 

i received a case number and have called multiple times, including visiting a branch. all ive been told is that theres no timeline, and that i cant speak to the department responsible. i was not given any information about the reason for the closure or what is being investigated. 

i am experiencing financial hardship and urgently need access to my funds to pay bills and meet basic needs. truist has offered no resolution, no communication, and no support. i am simply asking for access to my own money or a clear explanation and timeline for the investigation. 

the date is XX/XX/year>. i have {$5300.00} in the account.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The reported entries are inaccurate and do not reflect my true payment history. I have made several attempts to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, but no substantial action has been taken. Even after submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the errors remain unresolved. This situation has created financial hardship and has significantly impacted my well-being. Addressing these inaccuracies has become a stressful and exhausting process. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that truthfully represents my financial history, including the prompt correction of any outdated or incorrect information. I respectfully request immediate action to correct or remove these late payment entries. Failure to do so would constitute a violation of my rights under federal law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect a swift and appropriate resolution.

Complaint narrative:
On the way to an event on XX/XX/XXXX I stopped at an ATM recommended by Chime I attempted to withdraw {$300.00} but ONLY received {$280.00}. I recounted in front of the atm multiple times, informed the clerk at the location and my friend who was with me also witnessed the recount.

Provisional credit was applied for the missing {$20.00} On XX/XX/XXXX i received a notification from chime that my dispute was denied and given no allowable option to appeal and no information for the atm company who claimed that their counts were correct.

Complaint narrative:
* * Subject : * * Furnisher Reporting a Charge-Off Without Sending Required Notices * * To : * * Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB ) * * From : * * AQUA FINANCE INC XXXX XXXX Regarding : * * AQUA FINANCE INC , Account no : # XXXX * * * * * * Summary of Complaint : * * I am disputing the way AQUA FINANCE INC is furnishing a charge-off on my consumer report. They have failed to comply with federal law by not providing me with either : 1. A Negative Information Notice under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) ), and 2. An Adverse Action Notice under 15 U.S.C. 1681m ( FCRA 615 ).

Both notices are mandatory, and the furnisher must provide them to me in writing. 

* * Details of the Issue : * * - The account in question is a credit card issued by AQUA FINANCE INC- The account reported positively for a period of time.- After I became delinquent, AQUA FINANCE INC charged it off and began reporting derogatory information to the credit bureaus.

- I never received a Negative Information Notice. 

- I never received an Adverse Action Notice. 

* * Why This Matters : * * - The Negative Information Notice exists so consumers are warned before derogatory data damages their credit. 

- The Adverse Action Notice exists so consumers know their rights to review, obtain, and dispute their credit report. 

* * What I Am Requesting : * * 1. Provide proof that both required notices were mailed to me, and provide actual copies.

2. If no proof exists, delete the charge-off tradeline from all credit reporting agencies and cease further furnishing.

* * Consequences of Non-Compliance : * * - Failure to send a Negative Information Notice violates 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) and makes the tradeline unlawfully furnished.

- Failure to send an Adverse Action Notice is a direct violation of 615 and gives me the right to sue under 1681n and 1681o.

* * Relief Requested : * * - Immediate investigation and enforcement action by CFPB.

- Written confirmation that proof is provided or deletion of the charge-off occurs

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), PayPals XXXX  service announced in an email that starting XX/XX/XXXX, the company will begin mass-exposing the private contact information of all its users. 

Specifically, the announcement stated that PayPal and XXXX  users private phone numbers and email addresses will be made discoverable to each other in a public directoryby defaultmeaning users personal identifiers will be searchable across both platforms unless they manually opt out. This mass disclosure of private contact information is being implemented without active, informed consent, as many Californiansparticularly older, less-technical, or occasional userswill never see the notice, let alone manually disable the setting. 

Crucially, the ability to transact between PayPal and XXXX  does not require public discoverability of private identifiers. A payer already knows the recipients email address or phone number by virtue of the transaction itself. 

This default-on exposure appears inconsistent with the California Consumer Privacy Act ( CCPA/CPRA ) and the Unfair Competition Law ( Bus. & Prof. Code 17200 ), both of which require that personal information be used only for necessary, proportionate, and transparent purposes.
