Complaint narrative:
PayPal Credit double charged my auto-pay of {$300.00} in XXXX, first as scheduled on XX/XX/XXXX, and then once again on XX/XX/XXXX, even though I only had {$91.00} left on my credit line after the authorized payment. When I called to correct this, they said they would fix it and I would not be charged any fees. Later, I found out that PayPal Credit decided to reject the original auto-pay that was on time, and accept the duplicate charge on the XXXX that would have been late ( had they not already been holding my {$300.00} ). They tried to apply a late charge of {$29.00}, even though their duplicate transaction left them holding {$200.00} of OVERPAYMENT above my remaining balance for more than a week. When I called and complained, they waived their late fee. But that is not the end of the story Because my PayPal account is no longer working due to the issues with the duplicate payment, I asked on the same call to simply pay off my remaining balance of {$91.00} with a debit card to zero out my account. I asked if there would be a fee associated with the debit card payment. The customer service associate said no there would not be. I just received a statement today that claims my balance is now {$10.00}. PayPal Credit applied a pay by phone fee that was not disclosed anywhere I could find, and certainly was not mentioned on the call. At this point, I assume that theyre bent on extracting some sort of fee from me, and am tired of spending time on the phone with them trying to resolve these issues that are entirely of their making.

My temporary card stopped working on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told another card would come on about XX/XX/XXXX. I received the card and tried to activate it on XXXX XXXX could not activate so I called again. I was told the card was cancelled- no reason was given. I can not even login to the account ( i made a purchase with the temporary card ) and I already received a bill with No way to pay it. I was told today that they would expedite another card. Now I have 2 months to make the required purchase if I get the card timely. Its almost as if they do not want me to get the promotion. Please advise.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the accuracy of the information being reported on my credit report by the listed creditors. I have already disputed these items with the credit bureaus, but the creditors have failed to provide verified information in response. As such, I am seeking your assistance in enforcing my legal rights under the FCRA and FACTACT. 

The inaccurate reporting by the creditors is causing serious harm to my financial wellbeing and has been affecting my ability to secure loans or credit. These inaccuracies have caused my credit score to be artificially low, making it difficult for me to obtain credit at reasonable rates. This has also resulted in me being denied credit opportunities and has made it difficult for me to obtain the financing I need to make important purchases. 

For instance, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Transunion Sowing ) has been reporting inaccurate account type and monthly payment information, which is a clear violation of the FCRA. Similarly, XXXX XXXX XXXX  has been reporting inaccurate account type and monthly payment information. XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX have all been inconsistent in their reporting of account type and monthly payment information across different credit bureaus, which is a violation of FACTACT. 

These inaccuracies have had a significant impact on my life. For example, I have been trying to secure a mortgage to purchase a home, but due to these inaccuracies, I have been denied the loan. Additionally, I have been unable to obtain credit for other important expenses, such as a car loan or a student loan, which has further hindered my ability to improve my financial situation. 

Therefore, I request that you assist me in enforcing my legal rights under the FCRA and FACTACT. Specifically, I request that the listed creditors remove these unverified collection accounts from my credit report. I believe this will help me improve my credit score, which will, in turn, enable me to obtain the credit and financing that I need to live a better life. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I received 4 emails from Bank of America saying a bank account was open, approved, and then eventually the email was changed. I have no history with Bank of America and have never used their services. I immediately called the bank to close the account and report fraud and went to a branch to make sure it was closed. I have no new inquiries on my credit report for the opening of an account. I am not sure how an account can be opened without a credit report run. This needs to be looked into immediately to ensure the financial safety of all customers.
