Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from PayPal saying that I purchased an XXXX  from XXXX. When I called PayPal customer service on the email, I explained to the situation to XXXX ( employee # XXXX, phone number XXXX ). He connected me with a financial supervisor XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) no employee number given. XXXX said he required access to my phone and my debit card number to reimburse me. I then received a receipt from XXXX, XXXX had changed my name to XXXX XXXX and took {$1800.00} from my checking account. I notified XXXX that this was an unauthorized transaction, but XXXX said the funds were transferred to an XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX also said that there was a Bitcoin account with XXXX. I canceled my debit card and changed my login and password. I tried to talk to him on XX/XX/XXXX and he insisted he did nothing wrong and he could refund my money if I gave him the new debit card information. I notified my bank, opened a new PayPal account just so I could file a complaint. They said they would get back to me by XX/XX/XXXX which is absolutely ridiculous. I tried to contact their corporate headquarters, but was unable due to the amount of telephone numbers that aren't connected their headquarters. My old PayPal account address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX PA XXXX. I used PayPal once for a purchase over a year ago

Therefore, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report. It is crucial to clarify that this request is not due to any oversight or error on my part. Rather, it stems from the fact that I did not expressly permit these transactions to be included in my report.

Complaint narrative:
I've been looking at my credit report lately because I am trying to get in position to buy a house. I noticed Capital One reporting late payments on my report that is not at all accurate and this information is extremely damaging to my credit worthiness. I was taking a look at my card member agreement and noticed thatI have the right to arbitration in disputes. I am demanding Capital One update these late payments asap as they are a violation of my consumer rights under 15 USC 1666b in which a creditor is not to report late payments. Also I do not give Capital One permission to report any information to ANY third party that is adverse to me the consumer. Time is of the essence

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against the XXXX XXXX XXXX for reporting an account that was my ex-wife 's responsibility following our divorce. Despite the clear division of financial responsibilities outlined in our divorce decree, the account in question has been incorrectly associated with me, leading to adverse effects on my credit report. 

Issue : The XXXX XXXX XXXX has inaccurately reported an account on my credit report that was solely my ex-wife 's responsibility as per our divorce decree. This erroneous reporting has resulted in unwarranted damage to my credit score and financial well-being. 

Specific Complaints : Misreporting of Account Responsibility : Despite the legal documentation clearly outlining the division of financial responsibilities post-divorce, the XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to accurately report the ownership of the account, leading to unjust repercussions for me. 
Failure to Rectify Error : Despite providing evidence of the account 's ownership and the details of our divorce decree, the XXXX XXXX XXXX has not taken the necessary steps to rectify this error, causing ongoing distress and financial hardship.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2022 I closed my XXXX  card after one month because XXXX could not figure out how to add my wife to my card and required my cell phone for 2FA. I logged in to the account and verified the account had a XXXX balance and considered the matter closed. 

Months later XXXX started sending me late notices about remaining balances and started charging me fees for things I confirmed were resolved on XX/XX/year>2022 when I closed the account. 

Since then, XXXX has sent me to collections for their egregious fees through the years and every time I received a notice, I disputed it accordingly to protect my credit rating. 

Recently I was made aware of a decrease in my credit score from TransUnion. I have found that XXXX has been able to adversely affect my credit score because I am not willing to pay their fees for charges I am not responsible for. 

I have now found that my insurance rates have gone up because of my poor credit rating because of XXXX banks report. 

Yesterday and today I tried to call XXXXXXXX XXXX, TransUnion and CFPB to try to resolve this matter over the phone but am told they are closed or get disconnected. Today I tried to create an account at TransUnion to resolve the issue their portal did not accept the information I used to sign up for the account. 

In summary, I have not carried a balance on a credit card for the last 30+ years. I have not been late on payments to mortgages during the same time and have paid off all of them but for one HELOC. I value and protect my personal information as much as I protect my credit score. In this instance, it is now literally costing me money to try to protect myself from FRAUD. 

Today, I also called my House of Representative to explain the issue to try to raise awareness of the irony.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
