Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Paypal attempted to pull {$1100.00} from my checking account for an XXXX payment. It declined due to insufficient funds, but PayPal fulfilled the payment XXXX on my behalf. On XX/XX/year>, I canceled the XXXX rental and was issued a refund for {$270.00} ( which came through to my checking account the same day ) and a separate refund for the {$1100.00}. I assumed that PayPal would not retry the payment at that point and just keep the refund from XXXX. However, PayPal retried the {$1100.00} payment on XX/XX/year> and successfully withdrew the payment from my checking account, leaving it empty. It is now XX/XX/year> and I still have not received my refund! I have no money to pay bills, food or gas and keep getting different answers when I call and speak to agents or managers! I want my money back and at this point, compensation for them holding onto it for so long. This is totally unreasonable!

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to pay down my credit card debt in an effort to purchase a home. I am specifically looking to decrease my credit utilization and am paying off my high-interest credit card debt in order to do so. For the first time in my history with SoFi, I made a payment that was significantly higher than the minimum payment due. The payment was for {$550.00}, which I processed on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email notification from SoFi that my credit limit would be decreased from {$4500.00} to {$4000.00}, immediately following this payment. This also had not previously occurred in my history with the company. I did not notice the notification right away, and was surprised ( and demoralized ) when I learned that this had occurred, on approximately XX/XX/XXXX. I reached out to SoFi on XX/XX/XXXX and connected with a customer service representative via the chat function. I explained the goals around paying off my debt and my confusion that my credit limit had decreased at exactly the same time that I made this larger payment. They clarified that they had no internal appeals process and could not overturn the decision, and that there was no one that I could speak with about it. I also asked for some assurance that this would not continue to occur if I continued to pay down my past due balance, and the company was unable to offer this assurance to me. They also continued to clarify that there was no one else that I could speak with regarding my concerns. This action has resulted in an increase in my credit utilization, which has negatively impacted my credit report despite my sincere and difficult efforts to do the right thing. It has also exacerbated the problems that they have cited as the reason for dropping my credit limit. It is disappointing and demoralizing.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
