Complaint:
I opened a line of credit with PayPal Credit for {$2600.00}. I successfully purchased a laptop using this PayPal Credit line on XX/XX/2018. I have the email confirmation from the merchant to prove it was approved. I had to cancel the transaction because of delivery issues. I have since tried to use the PayPal Credit line multiple times and have been denied every time even though my entire credit limit is available. I called PayPal and the supervisor I spoke to ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/2018 advised me that I was being denied use of my PayPal Credit line because I was a new customer and I needed to establish history ( this was a theoretical reason as the supervisor could not confirm that precise reason ). I have since tried to use the PayPal Credit line to purchase items under {$20.00} in total to attempt to begin this purchase history. They have all been denied. I am in no uncertain terms furious that PayPal has opened a line of credit for me but has effectively made it impossible for me to use. This is the very height of deceptive and unethical business practices. I have never had such a negative experience with a credit provider in my 25 years of using lenders and credit providers. Further, because of this interminable delay I have lost days of freelance work wages and there is no way to be advised if or even when this credit line will be made available for actual use. This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating and infuriating.

Complaint:
I initiated a wire transfer around XXXX  on XX/XX/2023 as part of a payment I was contractually obligated to make on this date. The status of the wire transfer was on 'Reviewing ' for the remainder of the day. The next steps in the process are 'Processing ' and 'Sent '. On Monday XX/XX/2023 I checked the status of the transfer and it was still stuck on Reviewing. I checked the timelines provided by Ally and I had initiated the transfer before the cut off so it should have been sent same day. Up until this point I have not received any communication from Ally as to why the wire was not being processed. Two phone calls later and some escalating I was finally told that the wire was on hold pending research and that it would not process until XXXX on Tuesday XX/XX/2023. Around XXXX on Tuesday XX/XX/2023 I checked the status and the wire transfer was still in the Reviewing stage so I called the customer service line again. I informed them the urgency of this wire, as I was now out of compliance with a contractual obligation because they have not processed the wire. I was informed that they closed out the research and I should expect a phone call any minute from the wire team to verify the information provided. I was assured the wire would be sent out today. It is now XXXX and I still have not been contacted by Ally bank, nor has the wire moved out of the Reviewing stage into the Processing stage. I am now at risk of losing the home I am trying to purchase because Ally is unable or unwilling to process the wire request, and is not communicating to me as to why the wire is not being processed. Either the customer service agents are misinformed, or are outright lying to me about next steps, timing, and when/if the wire will be processed.

Sub-product: Mortgage debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
After receiving a forbearance exemption due to COVID-19 in XXXX, I received numerous phone calls from Fay Servicing in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX encouraging me to make payments. In addition, I was led to believe that I could not request the payments be added to the end of the loan, and instead made balloon payments to cover those accruing during the forbearance period. 

As a result of this and being laid off due to COVID, I have been forced to fill out a new arduous application for forbearance which was completed on XXXX and was told it would be completed within a month ( often earlier ). XXXX, my account manager gave me assurances that I'd qualify for forbearance and that I could have these payments added to the end of the loan, as opposed to due immediately after forbearance. Sadly, one month later they still do not have a response for me. 

Sadly, in this precarious circumstances, Fay Servicing is my only lender that has not worked with me to help me through this trying time. They are simply interested in continuing to intimidate someone who is struggling with unemployment during COVID-19.

Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Unable to open an account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018, I had went into Wells Fargo to open a business checking account. I had met XXXX XXXX XXXX, it was presented to him all documents, i.e IRS letter containing EIN # and Articles of Incorporation also a driver 's license and a government official ID, i.e.  Transportation Worker 's Identification Credentials. Now, it came to the part where I was demanded to give up my Social Security number for a personal profile or they wouldn't move forward with a business account and immediately I asked for the policy of their institution to show me where I am required to give my S.S # ( Social Security number ). XXXX XXXX XXXX couldn't provide one so I asked to speak to an Account Manager and he brought over, Service Manager, XXXX XXXX. By this time, I had informed her that I was recording the conversation because of their unprofessional conduct and it was made aware with her. I requested for her to present a policy and she couldn't provide one or a remedy. After our conversation, she went to contact the District Manager, XXXX XXXX, whom I spoke with and it was said that I am to required a SS # to open a business account and when I requested for the policy to show where I'm required to give my SS # to get service, she told me that it is Internal for their company and when I requested a copy, she immediately told me that then I can't do business with them. She didn't give me any other options to get the business account open and insisted on me providing my SS # is the only way to get the business account open. Before I hung up, I told her that this is done under duress and it's not fair. She didn't consider the situation at all and insisted that this is how I can only open a business account. Being under duress, I gave up my SS # and still got denied for a personal profile because they couldn't pull my credit which I didnt know they were going to do. I was told that my business account was good but because they couldn't pull my personal credit for a soft inquiry, they couldn't get my business account open. They never showed me that policy. I was denied service by this bank and their conduct was very unprofessional. I told them according to The Privacy Act of 1974, I have a right to privacy in not giving out my SS # especially to be used as an identifier.
