Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

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: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
My PayPal account had fraudulent activity. I notified them of this on XX/XX/year> and again on XX/XX/year>. They froze my account. Now, I have been sent to collections for {$360.00} of money that I did not use, and the charges are less than 30 days old. Apparently, the {$360.00} was charged against an account at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, of which I have never had an account. That account does not belong to me. I have tried calling numerous times without resolution. I've asked to speak with a manager, with no resolution. There are XXXX debit cards on my PayPal account that I have already explained are not mine that were used for these transactions. I'm being told to contact the banks to resolve the issue. However, the banking institutions will not speak to me because I do not have an account with them and do not have the account information needed that is involved in the issue. And if I did have the information, they still could not speak to me ( understandably ). Despite knowing the charges were fraudulent, PayPal refuses to assist in fixing the issue or shutting down my account. It is also locked, so I am unable to remove my bank account information, putting me at risk of fraudulent activity on my personal bank account.

Complaint narrative:
Formal Request to Remove Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting - Failure to Provide Notice Dear Equifax Dispute Department, Im writing to formally dispute late payment ( s ) being reported on my credit file for the account below. The late marks are inaccurate and should not be on my report because the creditor failed to provide proper notice of the payment due or any missed payment - a failure that denied me the opportunity to correct or prevent the issue. 
Account Details : 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 Why This Is Being Disputed : I was not provided with any notification of upcoming payment due dates, nor was I notified when the account allegedly became late. The absence of such communication resulted in a late mark being reported without giving me a fair chance to resolve or prevent it. This lack of notice violates fundamental principles under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including : FCRA 1681e ( b ) - You are required to ensure all information reported is accurate and complete to the maximum extent possible. Late marks entered without proper notification from the furnisher do not meet this standard.

FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - Furnishers of information have a legal obligation to report information fairly, accurately, and responsibly. Failing to notify me of an impending delinquency or missed payment, and then reporting it anyway, violates this duty.

FCRA 1681i ( a )- I have the right to dispute any information I believe is incorrect, and if it can not be verified, it must be promptly deleted.

What Im Requesting : I respectfully request that you initiate a reinvestigation of this late payment and contact the furnisher. If the creditor can not prove that they sent proper notice before reporting the delinquency - including payment reminders or default warnings- the late mark is incomplete and inaccurate, and must be permanently removed under the law. 
Please provide written confirmation that the dispute was investigated and state whether the item was corrected or deleted. I expect a resolution within the 30-day window outlined in FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

Thank you for your attention and time in helping to ensure that my credit report reflects only fair, verified, and accurate information. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
