Complaint narrative:
Account name XXXX XXXX Payments are set to occur electronically a few days ahead of the due date ( XXXX ) Despite being scheduled, I was hit with a charge ( presumably ) for late payment. 
I told them to correct it or I'd be closing the account. The current statement reflects that they didn't make the correction. 
While the amount they're charging isn't a backbreaker, the idea of them doing this to a large number of people is worrisome, and is indicative of criminal behavior/ They were told that I'd be closing the account and reporting them. Now I have.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I woke up and tried to log in to PayPal and was surprised to a message on the app stating that my account is Limited to its features until I upload my identification and bank statement. I did it immediately and the following day I received an email stating that they are permanently closing my account.

They never gave me a reason besides that I was not following their guidelines which I believe they need to be more specific! Especially if they are holding my {$210.00} for 120 days! Thats a bit excessive and it appears to be a scam because there are thousands of stories with victims going through the same issue! Almost as identical to mine which leave me to believe that they might be the ones who are not following the guidelines. I am 100 % positive that 120 days is not ideal.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and Florida Laws Dear WF CRD SVC, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ), as well as identity theft fraud laws under the Florida Statutes , Section 817.568.

It has unequivocally come to my attention that WF CRD SVC has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

In addition to federal law, Florida state law, specifically Section 817.568 of the Florida Statutes, addresses the severity of identity theft and the misuse of personal information. This statute emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for the lawful use and reporting of their personal and financial information.

I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for WF CRD SVC to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws.

I demand, with the utmost certainty, that WF CRD SVC immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Section 817.568 of the Florida Statutes. Failure to comply within the stipulated 30-day timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity theft fraud laws.

I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA and Florida state law. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting.

I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that WF CRD SVC will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws.
