Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account on my credit report which I have NO knowledge of nor did I sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not participate in any of it. More so they didn't follow the proper 5 step validation procedure which make this unfair practices. This collection found on my credit report IS NOT related to any transaction that I made. I am alleging that a person or company WITHOUT my permission or authorization used my personal info to apply for services or money and was successful in creating some accounts. All is currently being investigated by the FTC.

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit card through the helzberg diamond credit card. No one told me about how if I don't pay off the entire balance in 12 months I'll get a year 's worth of interest charged. They said it was on my statements but I've never checked my statements since I never had to. Nowhere in the payment processing page or the salesman that signed me up for the card said I needed to pay out the entirety of the balance or I'd get charged the entirety of a year 's worth of interest. I was only around {$400.00} short not knowing that I needed to make an additional {$400.00} payment nor did they email me about it.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I received a transfer from my friend via Paypal and there were no issues. I used some of the funds to deposit into another account. I sent some of the funds back to my friend and both of our accounts were locked pending review of documentation. I had no trouble providing everything requested. 

I provided the requested documentation and was told someone would review my documents. My account was instantly permanently banned from the platform ( within 5 seconds of submitting my documents ) so this was an automated procedure. Not exaggerating here. To me this is a clear attempt for paypal to steal from their customers via the fine print. They will not give me any reason nor speak to me. 

Customer service gave me an automated copy paste response and refuse to respond to my questions. Paypal is a joke. 

The only thing I can think of is that I am remarried and so the last name on my Paypal account does not match the one on my driver 's license that I submitted. This is ridiculous and they should ask for clarification instead of stealing my account.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address multiple unresolved issues with the information on my credit report in EQUIFAX, despite prior disputes I filed regarding inaccuracies. I initially reached out to correct discrepancies, including errors in the dates of last payments, dates accounts were opened, payment history, and account status. After providing supporting documentation, I was assured that an exhaustive examination had been conducted. However, as of today, my credit report remains unchanged, and the errors persist. Moreover, I have noticed negative actions have been taken on my credit report despite these unresolved issues. My full name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. My date of birth is XXXX Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), EQUIFAX is required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure the accuracy of the information provided, and my submitted evidence of inaccuracies shows a failure to do so. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, EQUIFAX is obligated to investigate disputes within 30 days, but I have not received any update or resolution. This delay constitutes a violation of my rights. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) and 1681b, a consumer report can not be shared without my written consent unless exceptions apply. I request confirmation that my consent was obtained for any recent disclosures of my credit report. As part of my efforts to resolve this matter, I have filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) under report number XXXX and expect EQUIFAX to cooperate with the FTC in addressing these concerns. To resolve this promptly, I request a reinvestigation of my credit report, specifically addressing the inaccuracies in payment dates, account opening dates, payment history, and account status. I further request that erroneous information be corrected or removed immediately. Please provide a detailed written response outlining the steps taken to resolve these issues and ensure compliance with the FCRA. If these issues are not resolved within 30 days, I will consider further legal action, including seeking damages for violations of the FCRA. I expect your prompt attention to this matter and resolution within the legally required 30-day timeframe.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against TransUnion LLC for failure to properly investigate and remove inaccurate information from my credit report as required by law. TransUnion has not adhered to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requirements for verifying or deleting items that can not be confirmed as accurate, thus breaching their responsibility to maintain an accurate report. 

I have identified several inaccuracies in my TransUnion report, and I requested a thorough investigation and deletion of the items listed below. Despite this request, TransUnion has failed to conduct the necessary due diligence or provide verification from the creditors. The items I identified and disputed are as follows : XXXX. **Incorrect Personal Information : ** - Current Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NC XXXX - Previous Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX - Incorrect Employer : XXXX XXXX XXXX. **Unverified Collection Account : ** - XXXX XXXX XXXX- Account Number : XXXX This account may have been obtained without a permissible purpose, as defined by 15 U.S.C. 1681b. If it can not be verified as having a legitimate purpose, I request its immediate removal.

3. **Inaccurate Account Balance : ** - XXXX XXXX XXXX- Account Number : XXXX As per 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), TransUnion is obligated to ensure the maximum accuracy of information. The inaccurate balance reported here violates this standard.

I have given TransUnion sufficient time to address these concerns, yet they have failed to comply with my requests. Under 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a ), they are required to investigate within 30 days and delete unverifiable items. TransUnions failure to do so constitutes a breach of my rights as a consumer.
