Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

This complaint is about Paypal not XXXX XXXX, that has been reported as fraud to the XXXX. 

On XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX bought, via PayPal, a vintage stereo console from my business XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$2700.00}. That included free delivery to his address at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX CA XXXX. The console was delivered by a third party shipper on XX/XX/year> to XXXX XXXX which he confirmed receipt of via text message. On XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX asked if he could return the console due to the power staying on and he believed it to be faulty. I agreed to this but the return shipment was at his expense. On XX/XX/year> the console was picked up to be returned to me by the same third part shipper XXXX XXXX out of XXXX. On XX/XX/year> while the console was still in transit to me, XXXX XXXX filed a chargeback with his credit card company stating that he had never received the console.

I received the console on XX/XX/year>. I then received a request for a refund from XXXX XXXX even though he had already filed a chargeback claim. I believe this to be a 2nd fraudulent action by XXXX XXXX. 
Paypal then froze my account and demanded that I upload {$2500.00} to cover my negative balance which was created by XXXX XXXX 's fraudulent action. 
Paypal have repeatedly ignored my requests to resolve this even after I had uploaded all evidence to the fraud, text messages etc and continue with automated responses of I should upload monies to resolve their negative balance .....

Company: First Credit Services Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Collection Account Request for Removal Due to Lack of Debt Validation To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a collection account listed on my credit report under the account # XXXX. Amount of reported debt {$810.00}. I previously requested debt validation from the collection agency handling this accountXXXX1ST CRD SRVC but they failed to provide the required validation. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 809 ( a ), a collection agency must provide verification of the debt upon request. Since the collection agency has not provided this validation, the collection account should not be reported on my credit file. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I am requesting that you reinvestigate this matter. The continued reporting of this collection account without proper validation is inaccurate and violates the FDCPA. Please remove this collection account from my credit report and provide written confirmation of this action. If the collection agency can not validate the debt, the account must be deleted from my credit file as required by law. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
