Complaint:
To : Whom It May concern : I recently checked my personal credit report and I noticed an unauthorized inquiry had been made.

The unauthorized inquiries are listed below, and I have also highlighted them on the enclosed copy of my credit report.

I am a victim of Identity theft, and I did not make or authorize this inquiry. I am requesting that the inquiry be removed, as well and that I receive an accurate statement. This request is made pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, If someone has requested my report illegally, The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that a creditor be able to verify the written authorization of the consumer giving the creditor permission to review their credit. If you can provide a copy of a credit application authorizing the disclosure of my credit files with my signature, I will accept the inquiry. If a signed authorization can not be found please remove the inquiry from Equifax.

Complaint:
I opened an account with Comenity Capital BankXXXX in XX/XX/2022 and then later set up my online account and enrolled in paperless statements on XX/XX/2022. To date I have yet to receive my statements via email like I requested, and they haven't posted my statements on my online account. Now I'm in the process of buying a home and have no access to my most recent statement. I called the company to get an online statement or resolve my account issue and their only solution was to mail a paper copy of my statement to the address on file. I feel as though I have a right to receive my statements the way I signed up to receive them, and am now in jeopardy of losing the home due to their delay in posting my statements to my account. I should also mention that the account has now been open since XX/XX/XXXX and has yet to report to my credit.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I am a member of USAA since XXXX and have checking accounts with them, and where I receive my direct deposit from my employer. 
On XX/XX/2021, I made a transfer through the USAA app from my XXXX checking account in the amount of {$13.00} and my funds which usually are available immediately were put on hold until XX/XX/2021. Those funds have been debited from my XXXX account since XX/XX/2021, but I am still unable to access it because the funds are still on hold with USAA. Today I made a check mobile deposit in the amount of {$25.00} and again, the system placed a hold until XX/XX/2021. I contacted USAA to cancel that deposit, since it was done through the mobile app and the system was putting a long hold without warning me about the holding time to allow me to cancel the deposit and was on on the phone from XXXX PT until XXXX PT. I spoke with a representative who kept me on the call for a long time and then finally transferred me to a senior representative named XXXX, who refused to remove the hold on my {$25.00} deposit. I explained to him that the system did not inform me of such a long hold time prior to complete my transaction, and still he said its USAA policy to keep long holds on deposits. Since I have been a member for almost 30 years, I knew XXXX was not giving me the correct information, since small deposits becomes immediate availability, so I contacted USAA again, and spoke to another representative named XXXX, and then was transferred to a representative named XXXX, who said that earlier her colleague XXXX had refused to remove the hold and placed a note on my account at XXXX CT. She used refused when referring to the notes placed by XXXX earlier XXXX I told XXXX that I called to get to the bottom of this problem that has been occurring with my deposits and transfers and the extended holds, as I feel I am being discriminated by the bank and asked why all my deposit transactions have been put on long holds on the past few weeks, but she didnt have an answer for me and again, just didnt give me an explanation or offered me a resolution on this issue. I am attaching copies of my transactions with USAA, copy of my XXXX list of transactions showing funds paid to USAA on XX/XX/2021 and copy of check deposited today for review.

XXXX  PayPal according to them I can make a monthly payment I only owe {$110.00} well actually I don't know it cuz here 's what happened I close my account due to fraudulent activity and they never refunded the money I've been fighting with them now for 6 months and every month somehow something else gets added to my bill apparently it's a XXXX and something dollars I don't even know because they can't even send me a bill why because they can't even look up my account why well according to the guy I talk to you last week I do believe it was a Wednesday  night he said that I don't know anything because the account was closed due to fraudulent activity then why am I still getting bills and threats that they're going to mess with my credit I want this taken care of yeah I wouldn't removed obviously they don't know what they're talking about when I call in to pay {$100.00} bill that I don't even know for and you can't tell me where my account is because it was closed due to fraud and that I don't owe you anything and then I get a bill 3 Days later saying the opposite kind of makes you look bad this doesn't even count the four times in the 6 months I had PayPal that they charge me for late fees that were not accurate interest on interest free payments which I paid off in full within the time frame and purchases that were never made by me.

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

Complaint:
I immediately canceled my {$5000.00} funds transfer approximately 30 minutes after it was approved by Western Union ( and before dispersed by my bank ) on XX/XX/19 because it was going to take to long to process. I did this by phone and was told it had been canceled and it may take 7-10 days to receive my refund. I then received a confirmation email saying my transaction had been canceled and would be refunded. It is now over a MONTH later and I have not received my refund. I have called at least 4 times, talked to multiple people and EVERY TIME am told that whatever the issue was, it has been resolved and it will be refunded in 7-10 days. The most recent phone call was on XX/XX/19 ELEVEN business days ago. I have repeatedly asked for a confirmation number for this issue or some kind of confirmation that it has been resolved and they just say, no sorry we don't have a way to do that. 

I have also asked for names of the agent I am talking to and am only given 4 letter first names. The last person I talked to also gave me her ID number, which I didn't know they had since the first several people had not offered that information. Also, mysteriously, my calls get dropped every single time I talk to them so that to get through to a person and to get through discussing an issue, I have to call back multiple times, start over multiple times, and talk to multiple different people. 

I was told at one point that the issue was I didn't answer a phone call about my cancellation. I don't know why I would need to discuss anything further if I had already discussed it in person with an agent, was told it was processed, and received a confirmation email saying it was canceled. I did receive another email after the missed phone call saying that because they couldn't reach me by phone, my transfer would be canceled and funds refunded ... great, sounds like what I had already done and was wanting ... yet still no refund and no explanation.
