Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.

Issue: Trouble accessing funds in your mobile or digital wallet — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Yeah XXXX  ( and similar platforms like PayPal ) often place temporary holds on crypto sales, usually around 35 business days. A few key reasons they do this : Risk management / fraud prevention Venmo needs to ensure that the crypto transaction clears properly and that no disputes, chargebacks, or reversals are possible before they let you move or withdraw the money. 

Regulatory compliance XXXX  operates as a money services business in the U.S. and is required to follow strict anti-money laundering ( AML ) and know-your-customer ( XXXX  ) rules. Holding funds helps them stay compliant. 

Internal policy Unlike crypto exchanges ( like XXXX or XXXX ), XXXX  isnt primarily a trading platform. They treat crypto more like an extension of their payment service, so the settlement process is slower. 

Unfortunately, theres no way to speed it up. Customer support will usually tell you the release date is fixed by their system. 

The reason Venmo places these holds in basically unknown. I have traded over {$50000.00} in Crypto funds this year using XXXX. They have a major issue with the security protecting consumer funds. Once it is made clear that the funds are real and no fraud has occurred, they do nothing!!!!! 
For the next five days I do not have access to my funds, a large amount of money. If I want to purchase a different crypto, I can not because they have locked up my funds for five days.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX XXXX  [ Creditor Address e.g., XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX ] Re : Direct Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting Acct Ending XXXX To Whom It May Concern, This is a direct dispute under FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ). I am challenging the accuracy of your reporting to Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion regarding my XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX. 

Reporting errors include : Conflicting balances : {$5500.00} written off and {$1900.00} past due can not both be correct. 
Experian shows a credit limit of {$8000.00} and highest balance {$5700.00}, while other bureaus report differently. 
Payment history shows simultaneous Charge-Off, Collection, and late-payment coding, which is not accurate.

Update dates and balance histories conflict across bureaus.

These errors violate FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

I demand that you either : 1. Provide full validation ( contract, payment ledger, Date of First Delinquency, charge-off documents, itemized balance breakdown ), OR 2. Immediately notify Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion to delete this tradeline entirely. 

If you can not provide competent evidence, continued reporting will constitute willful noncompliance under FCRA 616, 617. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate and conflicting information reported on my credit report regarding my account. Upon recent review of my credit reports during my home loan application process, I was shocked to find that late payments were reported, which I strongly dispute. I have never missed or been late on a payment for this account. Furthermore, the tradeline contains conflicting information : The Account Rating states Paid As Agreed, The Payment History shows a XXXX late, The XX/XX/year> Day Late section only reflects a XXXX late not a XXXX. These inconsistencies are clear indicators of reporting errors and are severely impacting my credit scores. As a result, my ability to qualify for a mortgage is now in jeopardy. Attached is a copy of my credit report with the discrepancies. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), all information furnished to consumer reporting agencies must be complete and accurate. The current reporting fails to meet this standard.
