Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Complaint narrative:
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: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I enrolled in PayPals " Pay in 4 '' program under the belief that it entailed four monthly payments. Only after agreeing to the plan did I discover that the actual schedule requires biweekly paymentssomething that was not clearly disclosed or communicated up front. 

Due to an income disruption, I submitted a formal written hardship request to PayPal asking : That my next payment be deferred until XX/XX/2025 That future payments be shifted to a monthly schedule instead of biweekly I clearly stated my inability to meet the current cadence and requested accommodation under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) and CFPB guidance concerning Buy Now, Pay Later ( BNPL ) products. 

Despite this good faith effort to resolve the matter, PayPal attempted to withdraw funds from my account today, resulting in a {$60.00} bank overdraft fee. This action occurred after my hardship request had been submitted and before I received any formal response or resolution. I view this as a predatory and negligent act that caused avoidable financial harm. 

This aggressive behaviorinitiating withdrawals despite an open and documented hardship requestshould not be permissible under CFPB guidance and raises serious questions about PayPals practices.

I am still willing and committed to repaying the balance. I am not asking for forgiveness of the debt, only that PayPal honor a reasonable adjustment that reflects my financial situation. 

I am requesting that the CFPB : Intervene to ensure that PayPal defers my next payment to XX/XX/2025 Enforce a shift to monthly payments thereafter Compel PayPal to reimburse the {$60.00} overdraft fee caused by their disregard of my hardship request

Complaint narrative:
" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly. ''
