Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
The Credit reporting Agencies have been neglecting their duty to correct a consumer 's Credit File despite the multiple attempts to correct my Credit File via numerous Dispute letters and countless CFPB Complaints that I have been submitting to the Credit Bureaus. It has been brought to my attention that you are not blocking files when theyre sent with an FTC fraud report. Since it is a requirement by law 605b of the FCRA Im sending this letter certified mail to help establish a legal recourse. My information has been exposed in the Equifax data breach. Under the Fair Credit reporting Act section 605b, the Credit Reporting Agencies are required to remove the disputed accounts and information completely from my Credit File. The following accounts, inquiries, inaccurate names and addresses are not affiliated with me nor received any money, goods, or services as a result of identity theft or they authorized by me and I would like them to remove from any affiliation with me immediately. Please remove the following accounts as they are fraudulent & were opened without my consent or knowledge : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. Also, the Credit Bureaus have been claiming that the disputed accounts are verified and yet, they have not sent me copies of documents bearing my signature or proof of ownership to support the Credit Bureaus claims. This action by the Credit Bureaus is a clear violation of the consumer 's rights under the FCRA.

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint filed by a third party. I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. What's going on there at the CFPB and at Transunion? This is so unbelievable! How can you guys let these multiple complaints pass? I know I have stated this again and again but I have submitted this complaint numerous times already and I have attached all the information and documents needed such as my DL, SSN, Proof of Address, the dispute letter I sent to the bureau, the FTC report which I filed on their website to prove that I'm an identity theft victim. What else do you guys want?! I have talked to the banks and they approved to DELETE these accounts from my file. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When I asked them why they're not accepting the FTC report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE my request and DELETE the accounts which I do not own.

We've talked to the bank & they've agreed to update the account. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not update the account because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the Identity Theft Report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the Identity Theft Report ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy...

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have a PayPal account, and tried to close it. When I attempted to close the account, I was told to call PayPal. I called PayPal, and they stated I was unable to close it, as they stated I had to wait 30 days to close my account. 

This is not correct, as I have a friend who was just able to close their account on Friday, the same day they wanted to close it ( they closed it through their app and even showed me their emails showing it was closed ). When I tried to close, I was told to call, I called, and then I was told I had to wait 30 days. I did not have any outstanding payment, nor was my account negative. 

Also, there was not a disclosure on their website stating I had to wait 30 days, and this is unfair. I think they are treating me this way since I am in my XXXX, and making it difficut to close, since they have a lot of people trying to close their accounts right now. 

I need help so I am treated fairly. 

I am filing a complaint with the Arizona Attorney Generals Office to try to get help from them as well.
