Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense XXXX  this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a card with Comenity Bank. I received a letter stating they could not access my XXXX report despite it being unlocked. I called and, without my permission, they pulled my report again. They stated that didn't work either and they still couldn't access my report, so they couldn't process the application. None of this was true as they made two hard inquiries on my account without processing my application. I want these inquiries removed as Comenity operated without my permission to pull one and claimed they couldn't access my account on the other, when they obviously did.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I sent XXXX XXXX {$50.00} through PayPal. He did not receive the payment. I resent {$50.00} and he did receive it. I contacted PayPal to get a refund for the first non-received payment and they told me XXXX had to contact them. I am not sure if he has. 
On XX/XX/year>, XXXX sent me {$170.00} and {$120.00} to cover the payments. I deposited this into my XXXX XXXX checking acount right away. That evening, I received an email notification on my cellphone that XXXX had sent another {$120.00}. I knew this was a mistake so I rejected this payment. 
On XX/XX/year>, I received a notice from my other bank XXXX XXXX XXXX ( I have a car loan through them and only use this account for car payments ) that my checking was over {$150.00} in the red. PayPal had taken {$120.00} from that account and XXXX XXXX XXXX had charged another {$27.00} for a courtesy pay fee. 
I telephoned PayPal right away and explained all that occured. The rep assured me that they would be contacting my bank to rectify the overdraft. After several days, it was still not taken care of and I had a car payment on XX/XX/year> so I called them to find out the status. I was then told that I initiated a refund to XXXX and it was not their fault. XXXX has not received any refund. I expect them to pay for their errors. The {$50.00} duplicate payment no one knows what happened to, the {$120.00} that they say I refunded but I actually deposited into my XXXX XXXX checking and was later taken from my XXXX Checking, and the {$27.00} courtesy fee that I was charged. This is a total of {$200.00} PayPal owes me.

Complaint narrative:
Chase Banking is stating that they denied my fraud claim because in our conversation I allegedly stated I still had the card with me. They are refusing to re review the notes and phone calls because I was calling to report my debit card stolen as my wallet was stolen. In fact I stated I did not have the physical card in my possession since my card with wallet and ID was stolen from me. I requested them to review the phone call because I did not have the physical card with me. How could I if it was stolen as long as with my other belongings? They refuse to re review my claim. This is a lot of money and would really appreciate some assistance with this matter.
