On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX my Key Bank debit card was used to make multiple charges to some place called ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pa Usa.

I am not sure why my dispute is being denied, but I am now on the hook for purchases that I did not make. This is not right and I don't know what to do?

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VT

Complaint narrative:
There is no purpose for these credit reporting companies to continue carrying information from old accounts on a credit report. It is done as punishment to keep credit scores low, although an account is paid in full and closed. They want people to buy their " products '' that will raise scores. It should be illegal for credit reporting companies to keep anything on a person 's report after an account is paid and closed. Maintaining something on a report for seven years is ridiculous. If you want to believe XXXX sayings about debt after seven years, go ahead but do not force the rest of us to live by it. Also, the credit scores fluctuate a tremendous amount for the smallest amount of activity on credit cards. Credit reporting agencies are a major reason for why people stay poor and are forced to pay higher interest rates. It is all so a corrupt and our government allows this to happen.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against PayPal Credit c/o XXXX  XXXX  regarding a violation of the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), specifically Regulation Z 1026.8 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( i ). I have an open-end credit account with PayPal Credit and have received billing statements that do not meet the requirements of Regulation Z. 

Account Information : Name on Account : XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Billing Cycle Dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX Issue Description : The billing statements I have received from PayPal Credit c/o XXXX  XXXX  lack meaningful identification of sellers or services involved in multiple transactions. Instead, these transactions are ambiguously listed as " X '' without any clear indication of the merchants or services associated with them. As a result, it is difficult for me to verify and reconcile the transactions, making it challenging to understand the charges and assess the accuracy of the billing statements. 

Attempts to Resolve : I have already contacted PayPal Credit 's customer service to address this issue. However, their response did not provide a satisfactory resolution to the problem. I expressed my concern and requested clarification regarding the transactions listed as " X, '' but the representatives were unable to offer a clear explanation or meaningful identification for these transactions. I have had multiple interactions with their support team, which all seem to be located overseas, and they do not speak or understand Standard American English well enough to understand that this is not an allegation of fraud. 

It appears that PayPal ( distinct from PayPal Credit ) has reversed the charges in question, and now the merchant is puzzled and contacted me.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: UPGRADE, 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 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.

Company: Global Lending Services LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I purchased my vehicle on XX/XX/23. It was financed through Global Lending Services. My payments were due on the XXXX of every month starting on XX/XX/23. I made all of my payments early on XX/XX/23, XX/XX/23 and XX/XX/23. My vehicle was hit by another driver on XX/XX/23. The other drivers insurance company informed me on XX/XX/23 that they were totaling the vehicle. They told me they requested a 10-day payoff amount from Global Lending that same day. My next payment was due on XX/XX/23. Per Global Lendings website, You are allowed one due date change during the life of the contract. The account must be current with a minimum of one full payment posted and the new due date can not exceed 14 days from the original due date. I called Global Lending on XX/XX/23 and asked to change my due date to XX/XX/23 as I had met the qualifications of my account being current and had 3 full payments posted. This would allow time for them to receive the payoff from the insurance company. They refused to change the due date. I explained the situation. I was informed that I would have to continue making payments for up to 60 days while they dealt with Gap insurance. I informed them that there was no Gap insurance involvement as the insurance company was paying off the loan in full. I did not pay the payment that was due on XX/XX/23 because I knew the insurance company was sending payment in full. The insurance company sent payment on XX/XX/23. I have the tracking information from XXXX  that shows that payment was received inside their office on XX/XX/23. Global Lending has not yet applied this payment to my account. They keep harassing me via phone, email and text message demanding payment. They continue to add late fees to my account. I believe this violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Every time Global Lending contacts me, I have told them that the insurance company sent payment in full on XX/XX/23 and there is no Gap insurance involvement. They continue to tell me that I need to keep making my monthly payments for up to 60 days.
