Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX I went to a sellers home to purchase an item, because they wanted to sell the item that night I didn't have cash. The seller stated she had paypal so I created an account typed in her email clicked on her name and sent the XXXX. Asked the seller did she receive it she said no, then went to try and cancel it the transaction was already completed. The person it went to has the exact first and last name as the seller.I called the next day and was told because of the way it was sent ( friends and family ) even though that's what the seller requested was not covered under buyer protection and that I should contact my bank for a chargeback and reach out to the person who received the money to which I did and my bank said they couldn't because it was sent to a person and the email comes back everytime as not valid. I was told to file a complaint with ic3.gov and I haven't heard anything about that either. I continued to call customer service and it's like they were reading off a script telling me the same thing every time i called, that they would file an appeal and I would receive an email which was a lie because I never received any emails.so I asked them what happens to my money if its not claimed and the person doesn't use paypal anymore mind you its been over 40 days and no response. Then I was told they would reach out to her through email and call, still no response. Their customer service is a joke they don't try to help you at all they just keep giving me the run around. This is a large sum of money and I'm a XXXX veteran trying to help my daughter with this item. If this was XXXX I would just take it as a loss but this is alot of money to me.Any help you can give is much appreciated.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing company Resurgent Capital Services/LVNV Funding LLC since XXXX of 2023 with all XXXX credit bureaus. I have sent correspondence to this company requesting they provide proof that the debt is mine and they havent. I have no knowledge of owning or accepting a contract with the original creditor they say is fingerhut fetti. They claim I owe {$1200.00}. I have sent correspondence to them 3 times requesting specific information to verify I own the debt and they have failed to do so. Each time they respond with a copy of billing statement and an account summary which is inaccurate because I have NEVER opened any accounts in the state of Texas. 

They are violating my rights according to 15 U.S. Code 1681. This is wrong and inaccurate reporting and they fail to provide proof Im owner of said debt. I am saddened they keep sending me automated responses.

They have not provided proof of payments, address history, social security number, or transactions made with the alleged original creditor. I have also never received a 1099-C cancellation of debt form from alleged original creditor. 

THEY ARE REPORTING A TRADELINE ON MY CREDIT REPORT AND I HAVE NEVER DONE BUSINESS WITH LVNV FUNDING, RESURGENT OR FINGERHUT FETTI. 

DELETE THIS COLLECTION OFF MY CREDIT REPORT AS IT IS INACCURATE REPORTING AND I AM NOT THE OWNER.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once more to express my bewilderment at your credit bureau 's handling of the investigation into the account, as I continue to dispute the presence of fraudulent account on my credit report. As you are aware, I have submitted the required FTC report regarding this fraudulent account. Following my submission, both XXXX and XXXX removed this account from their records. 

I have also directly contacted the company associated with this account, and they have confirmed the removal of the account. Therefore, I am puzzled as to why this account is still being reported by your bureau. 

It is imperative to recognize that as a credit bureau, you are legally bound to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. Failing to remove this fraudulent account not only violates this obligation but also exposes me to further harm.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a complaint against Experian Information Solutions Inc. and to seek your assistance in addressing while when I paid off my personal installment loan on XX/XX/2024 I lost XXXX points. My credit score went from XXXX to XXXX after I paid my installment loan off? I am in good standing with all my creditors!!! I have never missed a payment and always pay my bills on time. I lost XXXX points just for paying off a personal loan on time and never missed a payment!!! When I paid off my car I lost XXXX points!!!! My debit to ratio is low ( 10 % ) and I have exceptional on payment history, amount of new credit and credit mix. Good in the length of credit history. So can someone give me an answer because Experian could not provide an answer??? Can someone provide the factors that went into this scoring please? 
I have worked hard on my credit just because I lack of recent activity from a non-mortgage installment loan in my credit profile. I lost XXXX point. It is a horrifying clarity to systemic racism. 

I contacted Experian by email on XX/XX/2024 and they share that this is what the impactful factors affecting my FICO Score. 
Lack of recent non-mortgage loan information HURTING You have a lack of recent activity from a non-mortgage installment loan. 
Your credit report shows a {$0.00} balance on your non-mortgage loans ( such as auto or student loans ) or a lack of sufficient recent information about your loans. Having a non-mortgage installment loan with no missed payments and a low balance along with other types of credit demonstrates that a person is able to manage a variety of credit types. Having a 0 % installment loan balance to loan amount ratio is considered slightly more risky than having a low installment loan ratio. 

Credit reports and scores reflect stunning XXXX disparities. Study after study has found that XXXX and XXXX communities have lower credit scores as a group than XXXX and Asians. The XXXX disparities in credit scores are due to deep structural factors, created by centuries of intentional and legalized discrimination as well as present-day biases. According to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This XXXX wealth gap didnt happen by accident. It was caused by centuries of discrimination, redlining, and ongoing systemic racism. As long as they keep your credit score low the higher the interest you pay!!!
