Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Several accounts and inquiries have been reported to the credit bureaus using my personal information, yet I did not authorize or initiate any of these transactions. The disputed information does not relate to any transaction made by me. I submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report, proof of identity, and a written statement clearly identifying the fraudulent information. However, the credit reporting agencies and furnishers have failed to remove these accounts, in violation of federal law. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681c2 ( a ), consumer reporting agencies are required to block fraudulent information within XXXX business days of receiving appropriate proof. Additionally, 15 U.S.C. 1681s2 ( a ) mandates that furnishers of information must not report data they know or reasonably should know to be inaccurate. By continuing to report or verify these fraudulent accounts, the furnishers and agencies are violating my rights under the FCRA. I am also protected under the XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), which prohibits the misuse or unauthorized dissemination of my non-public financial data. These agencies and furnishers have failed to safeguard my personal information, leading to continued harm.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency failed to meet its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide, upon request, a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information. I specifically requested the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the person the agency communicated with, and the documentation used to confirm the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency did not provide this information within the 15-day timeframe required by law. This lack of response is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: HW Holding, Inc
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I lived at XXXX XXXX under a standard lease that ended in XX/XX/year>. I signed a lease renewal around that time, but later learned it was not fully executed because the other required signatures were missing. I was never told this. The resident portal continued to show my usual rent rate from XXXX through XXXX, and I paid that full amount each month, believing the lease was in effect. 

In XXXX, the portal suddenly showed a much higher balance. I was informed this was due to an audit, and that I owed back rent based on a higher month to month rate supposedly applied retroactively for several months. I was never given written notice of this rate change, never informed that my lease was considered invalid or incomplete, and was never warned that charges were accumulating. 

After XXXX, I was instructed by management to stop paying through the portal and instead make payments by money order, which I did at the previously indicated rent amount. At no point was I given a breakdown of the new charges or offered an opportunity to formally dispute them. 

On XX/XX/year>, I gave proper 30 day notice and moved out on XX/XX/XXXX. I later discovered that a collection had been reported to my credit by Hunter Warfield on behalf of the property. I was never directly notified of this collection or given a chance to resolve it prior to its reporting. When I disputed it through XXXX, it was verified without explanation, despite my documented history of on time payments and correspondence. 

I acted in good faith, paid what was shown in the portal and instructed by management, and relied on the lease renewal process that was initiated. According to SC Code 27-40-770, a landlord must provide reasonable written notice before increasing rent under a month-to-month lease. No such notice was given, and I believe retroactive enforcement of undisclosed charges constitutes an unfair and deceptive billing practice. Thank you

Complaint narrative:
A fraudulent property was obtained in XXXX, in another state Ive never lived in. XXXX XXXX XXXX  at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX, allowed a fraud to obtain a lease which resulted in an eviction using my stolen identity. There is new management now who cant verify details. I submitted a reinvestigation with Transunion XXXX  and submitted evidence of identity theft including a police report, proof of my previous leases, a tax return, bills, a sworn statement, and a ftc identity theft report. Their investigation through XXXX was not conducted properly. Transunion is only reporting back to me what the court records have with an updated balance. They have not requested any evidence or proof that this fraudulent eviction is mine, but they have totally disregarded all of my evidence and proof that I was living in a completely different state and property in XXXX  during the fraudulent lease period. I am currently homeless and unable to obtain housing due to this false, fraudulent eviction on my public record. I have lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX for the past XXXX XXXX, from XXXX and was unaware of this fraudulent eviction until my lease ended, and I applied for rental property elsewhere. These credit bureaus continuously claim they are investigating, but they never request pertinent information that connects you to an account. They request evidence from the consumer only to disregard it. It is suggested that I dispute with the court, which I have, but it is still in process and the court is backed up with the e-filing process. But there is not XXXX single person or agency that can provide evidence such as signatures, or identification confirming this is my account. That is not what an investigation should consist of.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, XXXX charged my PayPal account {$75.00} for a subscription I never authorized, used, or requested. I immediately canceled it, and XXXX confirmed same-day cancellation. I provided PayPal with screenshots and explained this was an erroneous deduction from my XXXX creator income. 

PayPal initially denied my dispute, then reclassified it under service not received instead of canceling the transaction or addressing the unauthorized nature of the charge. They claim they can not retrieve the funds because it was a pre-approved XXXX payment, but this contradicts their XXXX XXXX XXXX, which clearly covers unauthorized and mistaken transactions. 

This decision is unfair and financially damaging. I am requesting a full refund under PayPals XXXX XXXX and a review of their internal handling of this dispute.
