Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
My bank is XXXX and it is connected to my Venmo account. I paid another person on Venmo {$650.00}. I later disputed the charge as I incorrectly thought it went through twice. When I submitted the dispute through my bank they alerted Venmo and Venmo took the money back from the other user I had originally sent the payment to. A couple weeks ago I received a letter from my bank stating the fraud investigation is done and Venmo proves the transfer was legitimate and legal. Which I agree with. At that point I expected the money to be sent back to the person I originally sent it to. It has not been sent to her as of today. I have contacted my bank and Venmo multiple times trying to find this money. Every time I contact my bank they say their investigation is closed and I need to contact Venmo. When I contact Venmo I get a different answer every time but they always say to call my bank. Yesterday Venmo told me they need to hear from my bank that the investigation is closed so that they can release the money. I contacted my bank this morning to ask them to let Venmo know the fraud investigation is done. My bank said it is not possible for them to do that and Venmo should be aware as they have to work together during the investigation. I am a single mom that lives paycheck to paycheck. I need that money to be found and returned to me or the person I sent it to. {$650.00} is a lot of money for me to lose, especially at XXXX.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the inaccurate information present on my credit file reported by TRANSUNION. The details in question lack proper certification, validation, and physical verification, rendering them questionable and not proven to be valid. My address is XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, CO XXXX, and my name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, born on XXXX. I have identified potentially duplicative and unquestionably dubious requests on my credit record, lacking any authorization from me. As a consumer, I am within my rights to request the prompt removal of these late payments, as they violate both federal and state consumer/civil rights. This complaint serves as a formal request for compliance with FACTA Title 1 Section 151, which explicitly mandates a clear description of the reporting process. This issue pertains to the accuracy of data and the reporting procedures.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity. 
Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate. 
C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to XXXX, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards. 

Also as stated in the XXXX Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports. 

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards. 

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB , FTC and my Attorney General.

Complaint narrative:
I learned thru a 3rd party credit monitoring account XXXX XXXX XXXX that I was assessed a whopping {$2200.00} finance charge with only a balance remaining of {$880.00} on an original load of {$6000.00} and approved credit of {$10000.00}. I checked my balance regularly ( monthly ) on the Comenity website and was never notified on this website or a formal written letter indicating that the original term agreement was to expire XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  ( I learned of this XX/XX/XXXX and paid off the the remaining balance of {$880.00} and attempted to file a dispute with the customer service to resolve this amicably. They have blatantly refused and the action they are taking is " deceptive '' at best and " deceitful '' at worst. This has resulted in a credit utilization increase of 30 % and now at a ridiculous 30 % interest rate. 

I have maintained an excellent credit history with XXXX  scores in the XXXX range. It is my hope to have resolved this reasonably even I had to pay a small penalty but not a penalty of {$2200.00} on an {$880.00} remaining balance which was paid off only days after the expiration and with no formal means of written or electronic notification. In this time of consumer crisis with high inflation, Comenity bank should reconsider their deceptive credit and communication practices. It is still my hope that this can be resolved with your assistance.
