Complaint:
Dear PayPal Customer Service Team, I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding the permanent limitation placed on my PayPal account. I believe this limitation was placed by mistake, and I would like to appeal this decision. 

Firstly, I would like to stress that I have not violated any PayPal policies or terms of service. Therefore, I find it unfair that my account has been permanently limited without any justification or explanation. 

I understand that PayPal 's policies are in place to ensure the safety and security of its users, but I am confident that I have not engaged in any behavior that would warrant such a drastic action. I have always followed PayPal 's policies and have conducted all transactions in a transparent and honest manner. 

I am requesting that PayPal re-investigate my case and review my account 's activity once again. I hope that this will lead to a reversal of the decision and the restoration of my account. I would also appreciate it if you could provide me with more details about why my account was limited and what specific policies I have violated, if any. 

Lastly, I would like to confirm that the email address associated with my PayPal account is XXXX. I kindly ask that you contact me using this email address for any further communication. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing back from you soon. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

State: MD
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem

Complaint:
I used a Money transfer APP through Bank Of America, BOA called XXXX. I tried to send money, {$300.00} to myself to try placing it in another Bank, but the funds never reached me. I called BOA immediately to try finding out what happened. Turns out, I entered one of my phone number digits incorrectly. There was no verification through the APP to help catch this common mistake and I did not realize this had taken place. The application only gives a status of complete and BOA could not place a hold or anything on the funds only moments after I made the transfer attempt. I called BOA a number of times as directed and got different information on the status and was told a " claim '' would have to be submitted. After waiting 15 days for some notification from BOA, I called when I did not hear anything only to be told my claim was rejected and that there was no way to recover the money. The APP has a glaring flaw in that it doesn't allow multiple entry of the receivers account ID for verification of entry, there is no communication that occurs directly between the sender and receiver so that both can verify Identification and verification to release funds for full accountablity and finally, if a mistake is made, there should be rules both the receiver and sender must abide by so that money is not lost through errors..

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
When striving to qualify for a home loan, my lender conducted a credit score check, revealing a significant drop in my score attributed to a late fee from US Bank on my credit card account. Upon closer examination of my US Bank statements, I noticed that I had made three separate attempts to settle the card 's outstanding balance prior to incurring the late fees. These attempts were confirmed through my online statement, which displayed successful money transfers on each occasion.

I firmly believe that the responsibility for this issue does not lie with me, as my credit card statements distinctly illustrate my three efforts to clear the balance in full. Regrettably, my credit score has suffered due to this discrepancy, preventing me from progressing with my home loan application. My primary objective is to rectify this error, which I maintain is a result of US Bank 's oversight rather than my own. 

Please let me know if you would like further edits or if you have any specific points you'd like to emphasize.

Complaint:
Complaint # XXXX was previously filed and believed to be resolved but was not. XXXX XXXX, XXXX only changed collection companies to Amsher Collection Services , Inc. for the same billing error trying to bill twice for cable internet service. There is no rational or logical reason to want or need two internet cable services about the same location, for the same business, for the same download, that existed before, and still exists the same. Especially after the previous service was cancelled and XXXX continued to bill despite cancellation. This attempt at a false collection is bullying me especially after the previous collection company withdrew!
