Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute regarding inaccurate information on my credit report under FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). I provided supporting documentation proving the information was incorrect, yet the credit bureau failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation within the 30-day statutory period. Instead, the disputed information remains on my report without any meaningful changes or explanation. This is a direct violation of my right to a timely and thorough reinvestigation.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Funds Held and Deducted by PayPal I am filing this complaint regarding PayPals handling of my funds. I maintain two PayPal accounts : one personal and one business. For ease of withdrawals, I transferred my balance from my personal PayPal account to my business PayPal account. Shortly after, PayPal limited both accounts and requested verification that both accounts belonged to me. I provided all requested documents and verified ownership. 

Additionally, PayPal requested explanations and proof regarding the transactions. I submitted detailed proof showing that the funds originated from my two XXXX accounts and that these payments were legitimate and authorized by XXXX. 

Despite complying with all requirements, PayPal permanently held {$910.00} USD for 180 days. Before the end of the holding period, I received an email stating that the money had been used for a correction. I had no chargebacks, no refunds, and no disputes, since these were authorized payments. 

I believe this action is unfair and unjustified, as my funds were legitimate earnings and I met all verification and compliance requirements. I respectfully request CFPBs assistance in reviewing this matter and helping me recover the funds that PayPal withheld.

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.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
