Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this formal complaint against Harris and Harris , Ltd. who have been attempting to collect ( 2 ) medical debts from me which falls below the {$500.00} threshold.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) specifically prohibits the harassment or abuse of consumers in the collection of debts. Section 808 ( 1 ) states that a debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. Yet, [ Name of the Debt Collection Company ] has been continually contacting me and exerting undue pressure for the collection of this minor medical debt.

Additionally, in violation of Section 807 ( 10 ), they have been making false threats about the consequences of non-payment of the debt, including credit score damage, wage garnishment, and even legal action. This misrepresentation is both unethical and illegal according to the FDCPA.

To add, the company has not abided by Section 809 ( a ) of the FDCPA, as I have not received a written notice containing information about the debt, my rights to dispute the debt, or any further action on their part.

In their collection practices, the agency has consistently overlooked the provisions of the FDCPA, which exist to protect consumers from unfair collection practices. I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate the actions of this debt collector and take necessary measures to rectify this situation.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding Paypal. I opened a Paypal account and soon after opening it was hacked. I filed a case with Paypal as well as my credit card company who ultimately resolved the issue and refunded the charges. However, the case with Paypal, opened on XX/XX/2023, has been left open by Paypal and I did not hear anything further about it. On XX/XX/2023, I contacted Paypal after receiving emails about an invoice on Paypal from someone looking for payment from me ( that I had no knowledge of ). I had already detached my credit card from Paypal after the initial hack back in XXXX and I now wanted to close the Paypal account given the email I received and concerns about Paypals security. However, I was told by multiple people at Paypal they would not close the account unless I submitted more information via a link they would send. Please understand, I have no interest in submitting a copy of my personal identification via a link to Paypal considering the lack of security I have experienced. To be clear, all I want is the account closed and I was told by multiple people ( including XXXX, employee ID # XXXX ) that they would not close the account unless I provided more information. If Paypal was willing to let me use the account without this information there is no reason why they cant also close the account.
