I am unable to apply and get approved for a home, a vehicle for transportation, and getting a good job. I would like to be rectified of this matter immediately. I have been trying to get this matter under controlled but got no where after 30 days and then a second letter another 20 days of waiting on a response.

Company: AXOS FINANCIAL, INC.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX is not following the laws of the FCRA, they have decided to leave a fraudulent account on my XXXX XXXX report and the have never provided me with proof bearing my signature proving the fraudulent account with AXOS Bank. Axos bank has corresponded to me twice stating that they have never received a dispute from XXXX XXXX. I have included the correspondence. It is evident that one of the parties are lying and the parties need to be held accountable for this and the fraudulent item on my XXXX XXXX report needs to be removed immediately! 
The dates of all of this is from XX/XX/2021 - Present XX/XX/2021 CONSUMER ID : XXXX the statement following is what was sent to XXXX XXXX : I HAVE ALREADY FILED A DISPUTE WITH XXXX  ON THIS ACCOUNT AND ACCORDING TO XXXX YOU STATE THAT IT IS VERIFIED YET YOU DID NOT PROVIDED ME WITH THE DOCUMENTATION USED TO VERIFY THIS FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT. I NEED VERIFICATION AND PROOF OF MY SIGNATURE ON ANY OF THE FRAUDULENT BANK DOCUMENTS. I HAVE SENT YOU MY FTC IDENTITY THEFT REPORT WHICH YOU HAVE COMPLETELY DISREGARDED THE FCRA 'S RULES AND REGULATIONS IN WHICH YOU SHOULD BE FINED. THIS SHOULD BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY AS THIS FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT HAS PREVENTED ME FROM OBTAINING A BANK ACCOUNT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AXOS BANK UNTIL I SAW THE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT ON MY REPORT IN XX/XX/2021. I HAVE ALSO BEEN IN CONTACT WITH AXOS BANK AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME ON 2 OCCASIONS IN WRITING THAT AS OF XX/XX/2021 THEY HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A DISPUTE FROM XXXX. SO I HAVE THE PROOF TO PROCEED WITH A LAWSUIT BECAUSE THE LETTER FROM AXOS BANK STATING THEY HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A DISPUTE FROM XXXX ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IS CLEARLY STATING THAT EITHER XXXX OR AXOS BANK IS LYING. PROOF WILL BE ATTACHED. YOU HAVE 15 DAYS TO VERIFY THIS INFORMATION AND TO PROVIDE ME WITH A DOCUMENT BEARING MY SIGNATURE. IF YOU CAN NOT, I AM DEMANDING REMOVAL UNDER THE FCRA. EITHER AXOS BANK OR XXXX IS COMMITTING A CRIME BY XXXX LYING AND SAYING THAT YOU VERIFIED MY INFORMATION AND OR AXOS BANK LYING SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A DISPUTE. WHOMEVER IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH IN THIS MATTER IS VERY UPSETTING AND THIS TIME IS GOING TO BE RESOLVED BY REMOVING THIS FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT OFF OF MY REPORT. I AM FILING WITH THE APPROPRIATE AGENCIES TO GET THIS RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY.

Complaint narrative:
I sent letters to Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX about inaccurate and unverifiable items on my credit report. It has been over 90 days and I have not received a response from anyone. I feel like my dispute letters are being ignored and that it does not matters and that I am being taken advantage of. In section 611 ( a ), it plainly says that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. Since it has been over 90 days these items should be deleted immediately. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress this is causing me. I am trying to apply for a mortgage and having inaccurate information on my credit report is making the pre approval process very frustrating. Please assist in this matter. It would be greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
My loan was sold in XXXX since then I've been paying the new company as I did the old with my checking account. Well, on XX/XX/XXXX, the loan is due on the XX/XX/XXXX, the bank sent a check paid to the old company. By the time I found out I was charged a late payment fee of {$98.00}. I called on the phone & got their investigation report saying the mortgage company is the one to remove the late fee. I visited a branch & the employee put the blame squarely on me & that citibank has nothing to do with sending a check. Though it's a citibank check.

Complaint narrative:
I paid my account settlement in full and the collection company is not willing to delete my account from the bureaus. Other companies either delete after paying in full or have claimed the same that they do not delete but do in fact delete when a CFPB complaint is filed. its not right to the consumers who faithfully pay there debt in full hoping to clear their bad credit history in order to regain their life back. And the average person doesnt even know about the CFPB. So they stay stuck with the bad history. Its just not right for companies like these to not delete just because they choose not too. And we wonder why there is so much poverty and homelessness in the community. Something needs to change ... ... ....

Complaint narrative:
My wife and I are retired, and we live debt free. We don't buy anything unless we can pay for it in full, including our new ( er ) XXXX automobile. 
If and when we buy another home, we'll pay cash for the property or we won't buy it. 
We have money in the bank ( 6 figures in savings ) and use our credit cards but ALWAYS pay them off in full every month. 
I froze my credit a few years back ; my wife 's credit is still 'open '. 
Our 'Credit Score'* is pretty good I guess : XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX. XXXX : XXXX XXXX. XXXX : XXXX But the fact that it is dropping constantly even though we pay our bills every month, and WORK HARD to live within our means, is making me crazy! And it tells me in no uncertain terms that the credit reporting agencies, financial institutions, and the Fed are complicit in keeping Americans buried in debt, while penalizing those of us that pay our bills and strive to live debt free. 
The reasons for our falling credit score? 
1 ) 'Not enough balance paid down over time on revolving accounts. ' We always pay our credit card balances down completely. Every month. 
I'm not even sure what 'revolving accounts ' are - but apparently we don't have them or are somewhere misusing them? 
2 ) 'No open real estate secured loans in your credit file. ' What? We bought our last home in XXXX, and after qualifying for a mortgage** to buy the house, paid the mortgage off in full within 2 years. Is it because we don't have a mortgage that we're being penalized? 
There are a couple of other reasons listed for our falling credit score, neither of which make any sense to us. We just don't get it. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To be clear, this is a new and separate issue from my last PayPal complaint. Im trying to resolve a negative balance in my personal account of - {$500.00} using the {$4100.00} positive balance in my business account. Ive spent one hour on the phone with them trying to get this done. They say it cant be done because there is a hold on the {$4100.00} due to the negative {$500.00}! An absurd chicken and the egg problem with a very simple logical solution. After an hour on the phone their representative said that his supervisor says that they cant do it. I cant speak to the supervisor. And when I ask for any sort of clear reason or problem that is keeping them from resolving the negative balance and releasing whats remaining of the {$4100.00} the representative says he was given absolutely no reason. When I ask to speak to another supervisor and PayPal ( because his supervisor apparently refuses speak to me to give me a reason or solution ) he tells me that there are no other supervisors! At all of PayPal!!! This is pathetic. He just told me that all of PayPal collections is on a the same XXXX XXXX and cant call me back for 48 hours!
