Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC, for committing identity theft. I have never given Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC, any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that the that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ). 
I have never received any documentation requesting validation from Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report, including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC, can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. 

I have not validated any alleged debt with Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC and my failure to dispute the validity of these alleged debts shall not be construed as an admission of liability. As of XX/XX/2022, I have not received any documentary evidence, such as a trilateral contract, giving Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC any right to collect on this alleged debt. 
I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC, can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC, continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC, will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
For over a month I was having problems with my Venmo debit card not working at all. Every time I would enter it in somewhere online it would say invalid card which I kept letting them know and never getting it resolved. Finally they cancelled the card and told me they would issue a new one, and then turned into they couldnt issue it and I needed to order it myself on the app, but constantly getting errors and it not working which contacted them over 15x about also. So the only option I had to use my Venmo account was to make transfers with the money. I transferred money into my HUSBANDS AND MINE BANK ACCOUNT, and right when I made that transfer they froze my account. They then asked for my ID, which I already have them over 20x when trying to get a new card, but sent it in anyway just for them to say I violated community guidelines and they were cancelling my account. Which was okay and fine, after all this I will NEVER use anything with them anymore and letting all my family and friends not to also, because all the money in my account which is XXXX, XXXX is from reputable direct deposits and is from taxes. Literally for the five years that I have had my Venmo account money that has gone into it has ONLY been from direct deposits and showing exactly where the money comes from. There has NEVER been any other source of money so for them to freeze my account and not release my funds is completely absurd when all I did was a transfer to OUR BANK ACCOUNT!!! Which isnt over seas, out of country, literally nothing suspicious about it in anyway. Literally going back and forth with them for almost a month and they will not give me any information, and will not answer ANY question I have. All they keep saying is they have came to their decision and cant change it, when all I want is my money out of the account, when because of all of this it has put me in XXXX worth of debt and has left my children and I homeless because we needed our tax money to live. We have been in this pandemic and I havent been able to work, that SO many Americans are in the same boat and for them to just steal our money and not release it is not okay. I literally have done everything I possibly could and cant get anywhere with them and I am just at a complete loss without my funds. My children are literally homeless because of this happening and I am so broken and lost with them doing this to me for NO reason. They emailed me today saying that my Venmo debit card was cancelled, when I have been fighting with them for well over a month to get a new card, and the debit card wasnt issued UNTIL they already froze my account, that i never even got the debit card they cancelled which is why I had to make transfers in the first place because I couldnt get access to my money any other way, and then they penalize and wont release my funds because of it!!!

Company: Sterling Infosystems Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : I have been approved to volunteer at my local airport, but they do require a background check that I am willing to consent to. However, the company that they use known as Sterlingcheck.com has been unable to help me with my concerns.

Before going through with the background check, I would like to obtain a free copy of my report in order to ensure that it is accurate. I have a legitimate concern that there may be potentially adverse information in my report and I would like to dispute it and have it removed. But they don't seem to be understanding my concerns and tell me they can't help me unless I follow through with the background check FIRST. They've also said to contact other companies in order to obtain my background information. 

Please help. Thank you very much.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I opened a XXXX XXXX  credit card and they switched from their original issuer to Capital One issuer. I experienced several problems with Capital One. I have a lot of credit cards and never had this problem before. 

I didn't receive their bill via mail like I originally signed up for when I opened my XXXX XXXX credit card. I paid the first bill late since I didn't receive a bill in mail ( got an email said my payment was late ). They waived first late fee. The second time the payment was a few days late and they refused to waive the {$35.00} late fee and I escalated to a manager. I discovered that I was not being mailed bills - the Capital One representative said that when I logged into my account their system defaults to electronic billing, which I don't use for any of my accounts and didn't sign up for. I don't like that they switched my billing without my permission. It feels like bait and switch so they can avoid mailing costs.

Request : Repair my credit file for Capital One XXXX XXXX credit card late fees. I paid the full purchases prior to canceling the Capital One XXXX XXXX  credit card. I have a great credit history until this problem with them not mailing me a bill. They charge me late fee on top of late fee on top of late fee even though I canceled the card in XXXX and I'm still getting late fees added. It started with {$35.00} late fee and they keep adding on each month I don't pay the late fee. I don't think I should have to pay a late fee since it was their mistake.
