Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am writing to demand the removal of an inaccurate collection account from my credit report and compensation for my time and effort in disputing it. The account in question is from Portfolio Recovery Associates and it is showing on my credit report without my consent. I have no contract with Portfolio Recovery Associates and have given no consent for them to use my name, likeness, or credit data. 

Furthermore, this collection account violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) as per Section 607 ( a ) ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) of the FCRA which requires credit reporting agencies like XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to ensure that the information they report is accurate, complete and up-to-date. Also, Section 615 ( a ) ( 1 ) states that no person shall furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or consciously avoids knowing that the information is inaccurate. Additionally, this violates Section 621 of the FCRA which states that any person who willfully fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00}, as the court may allow.

Furthermore, this violates 15 U.S.C 1681 et seq, particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681i and 15 U.S.C 1681j which states that credit reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates and any person who fails to comply with any requirement imposed under this title shall be liable to the United States for a civil penalty. Furthermore, this collection account was fraudulently bought and sold, which is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( RFDCPA ), which prohibit the sale or purchase of a debt that the seller or purchaser knows or should know is not legitimate. This also violates the prohibition of any form of deception or fraud under the federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. 1341 ( Mail Fraud ) and 18 U.S.C.

1343 ( Wire Fraud ) I demand that you immediately investigate this matter and take necessary action to remove the illegal collection account from my credit report and also compensate me for my time and effort in disputing it. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Below is a summary of the response I sent to PayPal 's Claims Appeal Team : I understand what you are saying about the denial of the personal payment and nothing can be done due to PayPal 's policy around personal payments not being protected -- However, I want it on record that I adamantly disagree with this stance from PayPal and there should be protections in place to protect consumers that are victims of theft and/or scammed. 

Excluding the personal payment denials with accompanying email address, I do not understand the denial reason of " personal payment '' for the following as these were not in my network or in previous transaction history since opening my account with PayPal : Please explain why I am not protected from these charges and provide feedback on the questions below : Why would the following unauthorized charges not be protected by PayPal? 

* XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Also, it appears that the PayPal Cash Card ( Debit ) exceeded the daily spending and withdrawal limits set by PayPal - Did PayPal allow these limits to be exceeded? 

If so, why would that happen? Historically, I tried to use my card years ago when I needed to exceed the limit due to an emergency and Paypal denied my request to exceed the daily limit for a day, yet in this scenario that negatively impacted me it was allowed to process. Based on this situation it would appear that PayPal policies are only followed when it benefits PayPal and not when it would protect it's customers.
