Complaint narrative:
This is a formal dispute regarding the inaccurate and unauthorized reporting of accounts on my credit file. I did not open or approve these accounts, and I was never informed of their addition. The fact that the information reported varies between the credit bureaus further proves its inaccuracy. This violates 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) of the FCRA, which requires the credit bureaus to ensure maximum accuracy of consumer information.

It also violates 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which obligates credit bureaus to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and 15 U.S.C. 1681g, which entitles consumers to complete and accurate disclosure of their records.

Complaint narrative:
I am contacting you regarding fraudulent accounts that appear on my credit report. I did not authorize these accounts, nor do they belong to me. Their inclusion is wholly inaccurate, misrepresents my financial history, and is unfairly damaging to my credit standing. It is unacceptable for my credit record to contain false information that I am not responsible for. Such reporting erodes the accuracy and reliability of the credit reporting system and inflicts unjust harm on consumers like myself.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Summary : On XX/XX/year>, I received an initial business payment from a client through PayPal for a construction project. Despite the transaction showing as completed on the clients side, PayPal has held the funds in my account without releasing them to me for more than 13 days ( as of XX/XX/year> ). 

I have fully complied with all requests from PayPal, including providing every verification document and piece of information they required. Despite this, the funds remain blocked. Each time I contact PayPal support, I am told that the funds will be released within 48 hours. This has now happened multiple times without resolution. 

The situation has escalated to the point where the client and I joined a three-way call with PayPal, during which PayPal gave the same assurance directly to the client that the funds would be released within 48 hours. However, those funds have still not been released.

This delay has caused me significant financial harm : I have already invested {$1100.00} of my own money into the project to begin demolition, breaking company policy that requires each project to fund itself. 

I am now at risk of legal action from the client for breach of contract, even though the delay is solely due to PayPals unjustified withholding.

My business reputation has been damaged due to PayPals failure to release funds as promised.

Requested Resolution : I respectfully request that PayPal be compelled to : XXXX. Immediately release the funds that have been unjustifiably withheld. 


XXXX. Provide a clear explanation for the delay. 


XXXX. Consider compensating for damages caused by this prolonged withholding, including out-of-pocket expenses and reputational harm. 



PayPals repeated and unfulfilled promises of 48 hours have created not only financial stress but also a serious risk to my ability to comply with contracts and operate my business in good faith.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized charges on an XXXX XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX, which I did not open or authorize. Despite reporting this issue over a month ago and requesting the account be closed, it remains active with outstanding charges I do not recognize. 

I contacted Synchrony Bank again yesterday and spoke with a representative named XXXX, who agreed to close the account and waive the charges. However, I was informed that I need to contact the fraud department to resolve this matter fully. I requested that the representative communicate directly with the fraud department on my behalf, as I am not responsible for these charges. 

My experience with Synchrony Bank has been frustrating, as I feel customers are unfairly pressured to pay unknown charges, which contradicts consumer protection laws. I require immediate closure of this account and the zeroing out of any balances associated with it. 

Please confirm the account closure and that no outstanding balance or liability remains on my part. I expect prompt resolution and written confirmation of these actions.
