Complaint:
VENMO My account was frozen back in XXXX of 2020. They froze my account with {$1600.00} and have refused since then to release my funds. I have over 70 tickets with venmo regarding this matter of which maybe only half have been answered. I have filed with the XXXX in which Paypal, who owns Venmo, responded and said my funds would not be released due to strict violations of their policies. I then emailed PayPal and got an email after 3 years of asking why and they stated I had committed fraud and suspicious activity on their app. I have read Venmos policies and it states funds can be held up to 180 days. Venmo has flat out told me I will not get my funds back and that they can hold my funds for however they want to. They cause damages and defamation of character accusing someone of something without explanation as to why, which they also states they do not have to do. Venmo bends their contract to the current situation which in turn means it really isnt a contract if it can change under sole discretion. Many, many people have had their accounts frozen and had their funds held for things as simple as sending birthday money and Venmo does not have to offer a reason why and then gets away with just keeping the money.

Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
I have a charged off account with capital one that was opened without my knowledge ; However I am taking responsibility for this account. I have no problem taking ownership ; On XX/XX/2020 I called capital one to try and resolve this and they didn't want to resolve it. The customer service agent did nothing to help or resolve this matter. Because this account was opened without my Knowledge I requested that if account was paid off in full will capital one remove or delete from credit profile.. Capital one refused payment and told me that I have to keep an account or trade line even if I don't want one with them, and deleting the account will never be an option even if don't wan na do business with them. This is completely unethical to force someone to do business with them and refuse payment but keep reporting negatively even though I tried to pay..
