Complaint narrative:
I am reporting a failure by Experian to properly investigate and resolve multiple disputes under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I was a victim of identity theft in XXXX and XXXX, and in XXXX, I was also a victim of a violent robbery where personal documents including my ID and financial info were stolen. Since then, Ive had multiple fraudulent accounts and inquiries added to my credit report without my authorization. 

I previously submitted disputes and provided an FTC Identity Theft Report, proof of address, and a written statement per FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), which legally requires the bureau to block fraudulent info from my report. 

The following items were not mine and shouldve been removed under Code XXXX ( Fraudulent ) or Code XXXX ( Mixed File ) : XXXX XXXX ( via XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Collection, opened XX/XX/XXXX Santander Consumer USA Charged-off auto loan, opened XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX retail account, opened XX/XX/XXXX Multiple hard inquiries from unknown creditors Incorrect addresses that dont belong to me Experians failure to block these items after multiple disputes violates my rights under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) and FCRA 605B. I am requesting immediate removal of the fraudulent information and confirmation in writing. 

I have attached all supporting documents. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

Company: Benht: Economic Development Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a follow-up complaint regarding a loan I received from XXXX XXXX ( XXXX # XXXX ). This loan carried an APR of 725.73 %, which is abusive, predatory, and violates the spirit of federal consumer protection laws. The total interest charges exceeded {$2700.00} on a {$630.00} loan. 

The loan contract was never signed by the lender, making it an invalid agreement. Despite that, the loan was funded, and I initially made payments. After discovering the XXXX and realizing the contract was not properly executed, I disputed the charges with my bank and the payments were reversed. 

XXXX XXXX has continued contacting me and recently offered a courtesy settlement of {$1200.00}. I formally rejected that offer and submitted a letter demanding they close the account and cease collections. They are now ignoring that request and refusing to acknowledge the contract issues. 

This company has not reported the loan to any credit bureaus, and I believe they are intentionally using tribal immunity to avoid accountability while using predatory loan practices. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate XXXX XXXX and help void this loan entirely, or prevent further collection activity.

Complaint narrative:
My PayPal account was permanently limited on XX/XX/year>, at XXXX XXXX. I was informed by PayPal that my funds would be eligible for withdrawal after 120 days from the limitation date. That 120-day period passed, and I was notified that I could now withdraw my funds, totaling {$120.00} USD. 

Initially, I faced issues linking my card, but after contacting PayPal support, I was able to add a valid card to my account. However, all withdrawal attempts since then have failed. I reached out to PayPal support multiple times, and each time they told me that the withdrawal was blocked by their automated security system and advised me to wait 72 hours before trying again.

I followed all their recommendations precisely : I waited the full 72 hours, used the same secure device and IP address, avoided any VPNs, and even attempted to withdraw smaller amounts. Still, the system blocks every attempt. My latest withdrawal attempt was on XX/XX/year>, and it also failed. 

Support has confirmed that withdrawal is enabled on my account, but they also admitted they can not manually override the block. This has left me unable to access my own money even after completing the waiting period PayPal themselves set
