Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I'm having a very hard time with experian credit reporting and also the TransUnion and equifax. I keep trying to dispute addresses that were not mine and accounts on my credit report that they are not mine. I sent over a police report and they are coming back a week later saying that the information is valid and it isn't. Half of the time I was in XXXX or XXXX  and it's public record they can pull it up I also sent over documents to them. XXXX  bank is one of the cards, XXXX  bank, XXXX bank, and XXXX XXXX XXXX bank and much more. I have given them a police report and all they keep telling me this is valid. I have addresses on my credit from XXXX years ago that were not mine at all. They told me they are valid when I disputed them. Half of them I was under XXXX so there is no way I could have stayed there. You have to be XXXX to rent an apartment. Im unsure what's going on but I have been disputing this since 2022 and they have stopped me from getting loans, getting jobs, getting any type of funding to start my business. Then they are also reporting inaccurate information and keep reporting that. This has hurt me tremendously and I need help they won't help me at all!

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from PayPal stating that my payment to XXXX was completed. It was being taken out of my bank account. I never placed an order with XXXX. I contacted PayPal on XXXX and filed a fraud complaint. I had to go to my bank on XXXX and close my bank account and open a new one. Also, I had received an email from PayPal the day before on XXXX again saying that my payment to XXXX was complete and again, I had not made any purchase. This one was charged to my credit card and I filed a fraud complaint on that one as well and it was closed in my favor. I contacted XXXX XXXX separate times and spoke with XXXX different people, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and they both confirmed that there is no charge for this amount anywhere in my account and that I do not have any subscriptions or pre-approved payments. I contacted PayPal and gave them this information and then asked them to provide me with proof of who they spoke with at XXXX that said this charge is legitimate. They would not provide me with that information. They then emailed me a tracking number that apparently XXXX provided to them and it is fake, it goes nowhere. Also the name on the order is my name but has rogue letters around it and the shipping address is not mine, it is in a different part of the state. I have also been receiving emails from odd companies with a PayPal heading saying that my order is complete. I have not placed any orders so I have obviously been hacked. I have sent pictures of these emails to PayPal and have had multiple phone calls and emails back and forth giving them all of this information and all I get is the standard response of " they are still researching it ''. This has been going on for over XXXX weeks now. They have frozen my PayPal account and have given me a negative balance for {$310.00} and keep sending me texts and emails asking me to pay the amount and stating that it is an attempt to collect a debt. I will not be paying for this obviously fraudulent charge.
