Complaint narrative:
XXXX is continuing to inaccurately report a charged-off credit card account as if it is being newly charged off every single month, from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. This repeated use of the CO ( charge-off ) code is illegal re-aging, which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ) and XXXX XXXX reporting standards. A charge-off is a one-time event that should be reported only in the month it occurred. By continuing to report it each month, XXXX is falsely making it appear as though I have recent delinquencies, which I do not. 

This misinformation has severely impacted my credit profile. I have disputed this account multiple times over the past two years, including most recently with XXXX. As of early XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX  completed another reinvestigation but allowed XXXX to reverify the account as-is still showing a fresh charge-off this month. This is now clearly an intentional pattern of noncompliance.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I purchased multiple items from XXXX using PayPal XXXX XXXX. I picked them up via curbside, and later returned the items in-store. XXXX accepted one return and refunded me directly to my bank account. However, when I returned the remaining items, they refused to issue a refund to my PayPal XXXX XXXX account and instead issued store credit stating that refunds arent possible for PayPal XXXX XXXX  purchases. This was never disclosed clearly at checkout. 

I contacted PayPal and opened a dispute. I explained that I returned the items, but was not refunded to the original payment method. PayPal initially closed the case in XXXX favor, stating that I returned the items before informing them something I was not made aware I needed to do. I called to explain and begged them to reopen the case. Eventually, they did but after re-reviewing, they closed the case again in favor of XXXX, leaving me with store credit I did not want and a PayPal XXXX XXXX balance I still owe for items I no longer have. 

This has caused financial stress and confusion. I also filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX claimed they couldnt assist while the PayPal dispute was open. Ive already paid part of the PayPal XXXX XXXX balance and should only be responsible for the item I kept. I am now stuck paying for returned items and being penalized due to a lack of communication between PayPal and XXXX, and vague refund policies not clearly disclosed at purchase. 

Additional information : Ive contacted both PayPal and XXXX multiple times. 
XXXX filled out a form internally to investigate but said nothing was guaranteed. 
I was unaware of the policy requiring me to notify PayPal before returning the items. 
I attempted to update my XXXX  complaint to reflect PayPal reopening the case but couldnt access the complaint due to site issues.
