Complaint narrative:
It has already been several days like I was not allowed to add money to my Paypal account from XXXX XXXX  that practices unfair practices. The reason I was given by PayPal is that they have a technical issue. Every time I try, I get advised to try back in 48 hours. I do not get an answer on my question whose fault is that now PayPal or XXXX XXXX. In my previous complaint I had problems with XXXX and XXXX  XXXX  and now it is XXXX XXXX. Is that a conspiracy between banks and PayPal or what? I need to get all my money from XXXX XXXX  at once. PayPal does not allow me to get any amount. Should we all forget about PayPal and close our PayPal accounts? If it is a digital WALLET should money be transferred immediately from any bank that enrolled with Paypal or it depends on their wish?

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> i applied for business credit for my small business and was denied because of my financial status and my credit profile. TILA, ECOA, The Federal Reserve Act, FTC, OCC, FDIC, and CFPB all are regulatory bodies of all banks and financial institutions. 
bank Of America discriminated against me because i did not have credit that is up to their standards of granting me my own credit, and discriminated me because the information i provided to them is that i am not a minor and that i have the capacity to contract. 
I have ask them to return my application and they refused, they stated they have not securitized it so therefore it has been discarded. I have checked my credit file and saw that they have inquired and now i have not benefited from them securitizing my application, this is deemed securities fraud.

These banks take consumers social security numbers and our signature to enrich themselves and we the consumers does not get any benefit.

State: IL

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute recent fraudulent activity associated with my credit report. XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX is reporting to the credit bureaus I have an account with them and. I do not or ever have. I have reason to believe that fraudulent verification of debt has occurred without any contractual basis or sufficient evidence. 
Upon reviewing the documentation AND the information from representatives of both parties, it has become apparent that the verification process was not conducted properly & solely through audio recordings, with no accompanying contract or agreement. This raises significant concerns regarding the legitimacy and legality of the verification process. 
As a responsible customer, I have always maintained clear and transparent communication regarding my financial obligations. However, the absence of a formal contract or agreement undermines the integrity of this process and casts doubt on the validity of the verification. 
Furthermore, relying solely on things like audio recordings for debt verification lacks transparency and fails to provide adequate evidence to support the process. Without a written agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the debt verification ( WHICH CAN ALSO BE FABRICATED ), I can not accept the validity of this process. 
I kindly request that both XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) BE REMOVED OR provide me with the following information to address this matter : A copy of the original contract FROM THE DEALERSHIP THIS LOAN WAS ESTABLISHED FROM. 
Any documentation supporting the use of audio recordings as a valid method of debt verification. 
Clarification on how the verification process was conducted and how it complies with relevant regulations and legal standards.
