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.

Complaint narrative:

Two accounts are listed as Late Closed despite showing XXXX balances : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX * * * * * * * and XXXX XXXXXXXX * * * *. Reporting closed accounts with no obligation as derogatory is misleading. Under FCRA 611, Experian must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and remove unverifiable items.Two charge-off accounts, XXXX XXXX XXXX * * ( {$8800.00} ) and XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX {$9200.00} ), were previously resolved through cancellation of debt and should have been reported as discharged with IRS Form XXXX. Reporting them as unpaid charge-offs violates the maximum possible accuracy standard in FCRA 607 ( b ) .Another charge-off, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX * * * * ( {$160.00} ), is being reported inaccurately. Under FCRA 605 ( a ), consumer reporting agencies can not include obsolete or inaccurate negative information beyond allowable time limits.I also dispute a series of inquiries that appear unauthorized or duplicative, which harm my creditworthiness. Under FCRA 604, access to consumer reports is limited to those with a permissible purpose. The following inquiries were included : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ( duplicate ) XXXX of XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ( duplicate ) These inquiries were not all authorized, some appear multiple times, and several lack a legitimate permissible purpose.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I used my PayPal account to investment small amounts into XXXX aXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
When I removed a small amount from the XXXX account I expected it ( XXXX $ ) to be moved into my PayPal account, instantly. Instead PayPal took the money and placed it on hold. When is asked what happened to my money I was told that because of the unusual transaction my money was put on hold for up to 30 days per the agreement.

In believe that this is XXXX which is illegal in the manner and method that PayPal engages and holds these funds for as long XXXX they think they can I don't have proof but this is the second time this has happened to me and I think it's part of a large planned conspiracy ( XXXX, ) Please investigate my suspicions I don't care who knows that I made this complaint.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed inaccurate reporting on my XXXX account with Experian. The dispute came back as verified and unchanged, but the account continues to report inaccurately : XXXX is reported as {$9900.00} even though the credit limit is {$9500.00}, inflating utilization. 

Payment history grid shows rolling charge-off notations each month from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, even though an account can only be charged off once. 

These inaccuracies are misleading and violate the XXXX XXXX XXXX Acts accuracy requirements ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 and 1681e ( b ) ). I previously disputed this information with Experian, but they simply verified without correction.
