Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX  account was suspended on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told this was due to unusual activity and could be resolved by providing my photo ID. I complied. On XX/XX/XXXX I was told my documentation was received and that my account would be restored in 35 business days. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email explicitly stating Your account has been unfrozen. 

However, on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX  reversed course and claimed my account was suspended for soliciting payments. That same message stated that if I agreed to abide by the User Agreement, my account would be reactivated. I agreed immediately. Instead of reinstating my account, XXXX  then sent me a notice declaring my account permanently deactivated and that my funds would be held for up to 180 days. 

Why this is unfair : I was misled multiple times, given contradictory information, and told reinstatement was possible if I complied ( which I did ). 
My funds are being withheld for 180 days without clear justification. 
This account is my business payment channel, and being locked out for over two weeks has left me unable to purchase necessities like groceries, directly harming my livelihood. 

What I want : Immediate reinstatement of my XXXX  account ; OR At minimum, immediate release of my available funds ( not after 180 days ). 
A clear, written explanation of why I was told reinstatement was possible and then permanently banned. 

This is not only unprofessional, it feels demeaning and harmful to customers who depend on XXXX for their income.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Debt collector : Aldous & Associates , PLLC. 

Original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Amount claimed : {$620.00}.

Dispute reason : My contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was a month-to-month membership at $ XXXX. The contract states only that cancellation requires 30 days written notice and, at most, one additional months dues. 

I stopped using the facility on XX/XX/XXXX  and attempted to pause or cancel the membership multiple times in person and via phone ( at least four times before emailing ). Staff told me I had to pay a cancellation fee, but there is no such fee in my contract. I ultimately cancelled the membership. 

Despite this, Aldous & Associates is attempting to collect {$620.00}, which is far more than what the contract allows. I dispute this debt as not owed.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I deposited a {$1300.00} check via the BofA app on my phone. The name on the check is my updated legal name, which had not been updated on my bank account. I did not realize this at the time. When I called the bank today ( XX/XX/year> ) because I could not log in, I learned that my account here was being closed and my funds and the check are being held. I was told to go to a Bank of America location near me, but when I asked where the nearest one is, I was told there are none. I can not go in person to verify that my name was legally changed, and I was told I can not submit the documents online. I was told that if I can not go in-person to the bank before XX/XX/XXXX, my account will be closed and my check will be held, and after the XXXX, there will be no guarantee that I can get my money back. I asked if there was any way to cancel the check so I could open an account with a different bank under my updated legal name, and I was told the check can not be released. I spoke to a supervisor and she was able to submit a request to open my account and release the funds, including the check, but because I can not prove my name was legally changed in person, there is no guarantee that this will go through.

Complaint narrative:
I want to emphasize that this complaint is not a mistake. My credit report contains inaccuracies that compromise its accuracy and integrity, and these errors continue to weigh heavily on me. They have caused ongoing negative effects on both my financial standing and my peace of mind, which is unacceptable. Especially during these challenging times, it is deeply frustrating and discouraging to see such inaccuracies persist, and they must be corrected without further delay.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''
