Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, my friend XXXX gave me a prepaid gift card as a gift for the care and support I gave him during his illness with XXXX. In order to remember our mutual help and friendship, I let him register the card in his name, I was going to use the card in a store, but I needed to order something on a foreign website and I didn't want to expose my personal privacy and credit card information on a website outside the XXXX. So I tied the gift card to link my paypal account and successfully paid for the order, I haven't too much thoughts then removed the card because there is no money in it anymore, I didn't change the card to my name, even though I have the receipt and picture of the card, actually I can do it but I ignored it. Because it linked to my paypal account without any problem and paid successfully, I ignored the name issue, but perhaps because of this little accident, XXXX  days later, paypal cancelled my order without any explanation and without giving me any opportunity to explain or verify it, and just brutally and permanently limited my account, I received an email told me that I no longer could use the paypal because of potential risks. I was mistakenly considered a fraud by the foreign merchant and refused all my future transactions. 
Even though I compensated the merchant for the loss but they said they didn't receive. they still refused trade with me. Paypal returned the money on XX/XX/2022, however the gift card was locked, I called the gift card bank a few days later and was told that the money had been returned but I needed to fax them some receipts, since the gift card was purchased by XXXX, I didn't fax it to them. A few days ago at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX party, XXXX told me he didn't contact the card company because he was too busy and he would contact them to unlock the card when he is free, we put this unpleasant experience.A few days ago the merchant contacted me and said they had misunderstood me due to some carelessness, they actually received my compensation, so they invited me to continue trading with them and welcomed me to buy again, but my PayPal account was permanently limited. and I couldn't continue shopping because of a small misunderstanding. I can not continue to shopping, I was so unlucky, but I can not understand they unilaterally permanently limited my account. this decision and punish is too harsh for me, yes! I consider it a punishment because it has negativel affected me.

On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX data breach.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
It happened around XX/XX/2020. I had checking and saving accounts with Bank of America which were used to pay my credit card payments. At that time, I had about $ XXXX in my both accounts and had credit card debt of {$2800.00}. I called BOA 's customer service to pay off my all of my debts and did received an email confirmation from BOA said it had been paid off. However, a few days later, my credit debt appeared again and the balance of my checking and saving account became XXXX. 

It was pandemic time. I tried to call BOA several times but phone could not get to right person. I wrote a mail to them but no reply. I tried to email my branch in XXXX to get help, but a person to tell me to step into the branch to do it in person. Because my health do not permit me to travel during pandemic time, I did not fly back to XXXX to talk to them then. Recently, I checked and realized the unpaid credit card payment had rolled into {$5100.00} and were sent to collecting agencies. 

Right now I still lives abroad and have no plan to travel back to the XXXX. I am wishing someone can help me recover my money in my BOA accounts, solve this issues and clean my credit for me. Thank you so much for help.

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing the same items for almost XXXX YEAR NOW! I have sent in all required documentation and filed police reports and identity theft reports but the credit bureau EXPERIAN refuses to honor any of the requests. I noticed my identity had been stolen at the beginning of XXXX. I am disputing accounts and the disputes are only taking XXXX to XXXX days to come back as XXXX! How can the disputes be properly investigated after only XXXX days of filing? Another concern of mine is the fact that Experian is not acknowledging a Federal Document. These accounts violate my privacy rights according to USC 1581 OF THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT. EXPERIAN has consistently violated my right to privacy over the past year. I have documentation showing i have sent experian correspondence about some accounts that i thought to be fraud or not mine and according to the following : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate ALSO, Experian has received my complaints from the cfpb and has also declined to acknowledge that also by working in a timely process to get accounts removed from report. I also have asked the credit bureau EXPERIAN NOT to furnish data on accounts that i believe to be fraud, my privacy rights sre being violated according to : 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions I have never gave EXPERIAN or the furnishers of these accounts PERMISSION WRITTEN NOR VERBAL OR EXPLOIT MY PERSONAL DATA. XXXX of these accounts are internet loans, meaning they were obtained online only and is hardly any way to contact customer service but thru email, so it is NO WAY EXPERIAN VERIFIED THOSE ACCOUNTS ACCURATE!! EXPERIAN can not go off of here say, they MUST go thru proper procedures when verifying debt. These accounts have random addresses, phone numbers and jobs i never had!! These debts are fraudulently being verified by experian Accounts XXXX XXXX opened XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX
