Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to add my checking account to PayPal periodically, but couldn't. Thought they would work something out. I tried to add an account to transfer money sent to me by PayPal to my bank. It let me add a debit card, which has a 1.75 % fee. It STILL WOULD NOT LET ME ADD THE CHECKING ACCOUNT DORECTLY. I got a note " marked as bad '' no one was able to help me with why it was marked that way, nor how to remove it. It's the only checking account I use and it's fine, has balances, and is thru XXXX bank and verified. I've had this checking account for 8 years without any issues. I need someone to look into this, as well as let me know the process to get it so it works. Linking the debit card to the same account and charging a fee, shows its not a bad account, since they will happily charge that 1.75 % on all transactions.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX XXXX, and TransUnionfor ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with XXXX XXXX Format and XXXX industry standards. 

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information XXXX XXXX and XXXX  Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' XXXX XXXX Trans Union XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> BarclayCard billed my account for two charges of {$290.00} each from XXXX XXXX for software licenses. The vendor issued licenses but they were immediately revoked and the software could not be used. A license that can not be used does not satisfy the purchase contract. 

I timely disputed the charges with BarclayCard under the billing error rules of Regulation Z. I provided additional supporting documentation showing the licenses were nonfunctional and revoked. BarclayCard refused to consider that documentation, citing an internal policy that supplemental evidence must be received within 10 days. I mailed approximately 45 pages of supporting documentation by certified mail ( receipt available ) but BarclayCard admitted they discarded it because it arrived after their 10-day internal deadline.

Regulation Z ( 12 C.F.R. 1026.13 ) requires creditors to acknowledge a billing error notice within 30 days and to resolve it within two complete billing cycles ( no more than 90 days ) after receiving the notice. An internal 10-day rule does not override these federal protections. BarclayCards refusal to review my evidence and their discarding of documentation deprived me of a fair investigation and appears to violate Regulation Zs error-resolution procedures.

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 Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
