Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a transaction that equated {$450.00} from an XXXX XXXX on PayPal. This was sent with PayPal 's Friends and Family service, which is a payment method used for gifts of money that are not intended to be disputed with. On XXXX XXXX, I received an email stating that XXXX had opened an " Unauthorized Transaction '' case against me, along with a message that XXXX used as a scare tactic against me. 

" Hello XXXX. As you probably know, you may show a transaction in error. We are working to correct this issue for you. You can reverse the payment in order to speed up the process, and reduce the risk of federal violations associated with the RICO act. 

I had confirmation from the sender himself that he had meant to send this transaction. I uploaded all of this information on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX I received an email from PayPal stating that the case was closed in my favor and that the matter was done. After all, I had substantial information that the case was not an unauthorized transaction. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, nearly a month after the dispute was initially resolved, I received an email stating that PayPal was charging me for the money, as well as charging me a {$15.00} dispute fee. I called PayPal about this and requested more information about what happened, especially since I thought it was ridiculous that I was being charged for a matter that was resolved one month prior. PayPal simply told me that the other bank had new information that resulted in the charge-back going through, and did not provide me any more details on what happened or why the case was being resolved in this way. I thought PayPal had done proper research into this matter, and I just want to see if there is a resolution to this matter, as I thought PayPal would back me up on this.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the unresolved issue of fraudulent items on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to dispute and remove these fraudulent items, they persist on my credit report, causing me significant financial harm and emotional distress. 

I would like to provide a brief overview of my efforts to address this matter : I first became aware of the fraudulent items on my credit report. I promptly reported the fraudulent activity to your credit reporting agency and initiated disputes for each of the fraudulent accounts. 

Subsequently, I have made several attempts to dispute these fraudulent items by providing all necessary documentation and evidence to support my claims. I have also been in continuous communication with the creditors associated with these fraudulent accounts to resolve the issue. 

Despite my commitment to resolving this matter, the fraudulent items continue to appear on my credit report, and they have not been removed, updated, or properly investigated by your agency or the creditors involved. 

These unresolved issues on my credit report have caused me significant financial hardship and emotional distress. I have followed the proper dispute procedures and expected timely resolution and accurate reporting of my credit history. 

I kindly request that you take immediate action to thoroughly investigate and remove these fraudulent items from my credit report. Additionally, I ask for a written response outlining the steps your organization will take to rectify this matter and prevent future occurrences of fraud on credit reports. 

I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable laws, and I will not hesitate to take legal action to protect my rights and interests if this issue remains unresolved. I am asking for your immediate assistance to remove the following fraud items in my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00}.
