Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022 I, the natural living man and consumer applied for credit with PayPal Credit Reference # XXXX and was denied. But how can I be denied when PayPal is utilizing my application through their securitization process and then selling it to third-party investors. PayPal brought nothing of equal consideration to this transaction, but are monetizing my application and are getting paid every month from said transaction. The moment I sent in the application with my signature, PayPal took the eligible security and are making profit off of it while denying me access to my securities. This is Securities Fraud, violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) 12 CFR Part 1002 - Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( Regulation B ). " Regulation B protects applicants from discrimination in any aspect of a credit transaction ''. Credit transactions and aspects of credit transactions include : Consumer credit Business credit Mortgage loans Refinancing Open-end credit Credit applications Standards of creditworthiness Denial of credit Servicing and collection Revocation, alteration, or termination of credit and the Consumer Credit Protection Act. Everything I have mentioned can be confirmed in the PayPal 10-K Form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission file number XXXX, ( I.R.S. Employer Identification No. ) XXXX. For example, on pages 8, 24, 37 on the 10-K form talked about how PayPal generate revenue from the loan receivable from their customers. I have attached snippet of that filling for your reference.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: It is not only irritating but deeply troubling that such a fundamental aspect of my financial history has been misreported, potentially affecting my ability to secure favorable terms for future financial transactions. I was the victim and Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. The sheer number of inaccuracies is not only irritating but also unacceptable, as it has a severe and unwarranted impact on my creditworthiness. XXXX XXXX XXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. A comprehensive review of the procedures in place to ensure the accuracy of credit reporting to prevent such errors in the future. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and I expect your bureau to adhere to the highest standards of accuracy and diligence. The continued presence of these inaccuracies is not only an inconvenience but also a violation of my rights as a consumer.

Years later when I attempt to negotiate a settlement XXXX XXXX XXXX, the collection agency they turned the debt over to.

I've asked Both XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide me valid proof of the XXXX account and name of the dental company here in XXXX Tx so I can go and prove this error yet they both refuse to do so! I finally got XXXX to delete both entries off my credit profile only to have XXXX turn right back around and put them both on my XXXX XXXX XXXX credit reports! I mailed a certified letter to XXXX requesting proof of XXXX " bogus '' account and name of the dental company that I rec 'd service from to no avail. In the meantime XXXX wants me to settle 50 % on both accounts w/o any proof or justification. I will send you all the documentation I have dealing with these two very unscrupulous companies! As they are directly stopping me from purchasing a home for my family, because I simply refuse to pay for the same account twice!!

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers

Subissue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Consumer Complaint: I received several weekly offers to apply for the PayPal Cashback Mastercard with an intro APR of 0 % for 6 months. Offers were sent on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. All of them are attached to this complaint. On the XXXX, I applied using the link on the last email and was approved, as XXXX attached. Synchrony and PayPal didn't honor with the offer and they charged me APR on my balances during the 6 month grace that was offered. I tried contacting them and they provided the information that the offer was a scam. So some scammers are out there trying to get new customer to Synchrony/PayPal . Clearly it's a scam, if it's not honored. I was charged the following interests, that i expect to be reimbursed : Statement - Amount XXXX- {$55.00} XXXX - {$93.00} XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$99.00}

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/23 till present, Purchase {$1000.00}. Package that needed signature was delivered but absolutely not possible since I was at work during the delivery notification came for this package that was signed with my name misspelt wrong on the app and possibly handed to the wrong person/apartment. I have proof and receipts that I was NOT able to be the one to sign it. I was at work when the package was delivered at XXXX as it shows in the attachments. I can use my job site as an alibi. I spoke to XXXX a dozen times, provided a valid police report, and so far dealing with a dispute with the store card carrier Synchrony. Spoke with leadership and said they'll provide a refund after verification identity, I did that, still nothing. They are giving me the run-around. Someone else took my package under my name. Documents listed below.
