Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the credit bureaus over a month ago, yet the incorrect information on my report remains unchanged. I have not received any updates from the bureaus, aside from your notification indicating that the company has addressed my complaint. How can I be assured that they have thoroughly investigated the inaccuracies? What verification methods were utilized to assess the accounts? This situation is extremely frustrating. More than 30 days have passed since my complaint, and the disputed accounts are still not updated. If this persists, I will be compelled to pursue legal action due to the significant stress it has caused me. Additionally, I am worried about the security of my personal information, especially in light of the data breach involving XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion.

I am writing to dispute three unauthorized hard inquiries on my Experian credit report. The inquiries were from : XXXX on XX/XX/year> University of Hawaii on XX/XX/year> XXXX  on XX/XX/year> I did not authorize or consent to any credit applications or transactions with these entities that would warrant a hard inquiry on these dates. I have contacted each of the companies to request a removal of the inquiries, but I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inquiries have negatively impacted my credit score, and I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assist in addressing this matter and facilitate the removal of these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. I have contacted Experian and they have not validated or given me any proof of my authorization. 

Thank you for your assistance.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in regard to my newly opened PayPal Credit Card. I strongly believe this began with the inappropriate actions of them closing my account with no communication. I have worked very diligently to build and maintain my credit in an effort to purchase my first home for my wife and myself which I did last year. I applied and was approved for a PayPal Credit Card in XXXX of XXXX. I never went above my spending limit nor was I ever late with making timely payments on this or any of my credit accounts. My income and budget were always kept in mind when making any purchase, and I never extended myself to put my budget or capacity to repay in jeopardy at any time. I logged online to see my credit available balance show {$0.00}. I called in and they stated my account was closed due to 2 payments being returned. I have made 10 payments on the account and 2 of them returned in which I explained to PayPal Credit card what happened. Below is an explanation. 

XX/XX/XXXX - Payment made of {$690.00} was made. I used the wrong bank account as I have XXXX saved online. The payment showed scheduled online and with in a minute I realized wrong bank and try to cancel it. When I click cancel which showed as an option it said you need to call. I called and the rep explained unable to cancel the payment even with it just being made. That is why that payment returned. 

XX/XX/XXXX - Payment made of {$2700.00} and payment was returned for insufficient funds. I had fraud on my bank account debit card and why no money was there to cover the payment. 

My other 8 payments made have all been successful.

This is devastating to my credit risk scores on all 3 bureaus because closing the accounts displayed a high usage of credit card usage with no available percentage of credit hurts my score and ability to refinance. Credit scores are supposed to evaluate a person 's risk of repayment based on their historical demonstration of an ability to repay in a timely manner. The actions of PayPal Credit card, did not take into consideration my income or my history of repayment when making this arbitrary decision. I will note that I was never contacted by PayPal credit to ask why the payment returned. I also believe it is quite unfair to give a person a line of credit while at the same time not anticipating that sometimes things happen and why a payment gets returned that is out of your control like fraud. Please assist me in righting this wrong caused by tthis bank.. With Kind Regards, XXXX XXXX
