Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this formally to express my concerns regarding chimes handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform, Despite using chime numerous times and reporting discrepancies my financial institution and chime failed to investigate my claims adequately they informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that chime has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against PayPal regarding an unresolved account restriction and a refusal to provide reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA ). 
On XXXX XX/XX/year>, I added {$180.00} to my PayPal account ( email : XXXX, Transaction ID : XXXX ). 

Shortly thereafter, the option to withdraw or spend my PayPal balance disappeared. 

I have contacted PayPal support multiple times in writing to request assistance, via their message center on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, and opened a case on the transaction on XX/XX/XXXX. Instead of addressing the specific account issue, I have either been ignored or received repeated template FAQ responses that do not allow me to resolve the problem. 

I have also repeatedly explained that I can not make or receive telephone calls due to a XXXX, and have formally requested a written communication channel as a reasonable accommodation under the ADA. PayPal has refused this accommodation and continues to insist on telephone communication only.

This is unacceptable for two reasons : PayPal has failed to explain or resolve the account restriction.

PayPal has failed to provide a reasonable accommodation, in violation of the ADA.

I escalated this matter to the PayPal Executive Office by email on XXXX and XXXX XXXX but have received no reply.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a rental collection account that was reported to Experian by XXXX. Experian verified this account as accurate even though it is not valid and was reported without proper notice or documentation. 

I vacated the property at XXXX in XX/XX/year>, returned my keys and never was told of remaining balance, and fulfilled all lease obligations. I never signed any move-out paperwork, received any itemized statement, or was notified of any remaining balance. After move-out, I lost access to the tenant portal, and no written or electronic communication was sent to me about any outstanding amount. 

Under California Civil Code 1950.5, the landlord was legally required to provide an itemized statement of deductions or balance within 21 days of move-out. That never occurred. Because no notice or documentation was provided, this alleged debt is not legally valid or collectible. 

I formally disputed this account with Experian and provided this information, but Experian verified it as accurate without providing proof of how it was verified or requesting documentation from the furnisher. This constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as Experian did not conduct a reasonable investigation, and of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), since the collection agency is continuing to report unverified information. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and require : 1. The collection agency and/or landlord to provide proper validation of the alleged debt ( lease, itemized statement, notice date ).

2. Experian to remove or correct the collection account until proper verification is provided.
