Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Unexpected or other fees

Complaint:
I've been using PayPal to accept payments from my internet business, which I use to supplement my income and save for college expenses. 

On XX/XX/2023, I received a case filed on my PayPal account ( merchant id XXXX ) with the rationale " The buyer stated that they did not make this purchase, '' which I gladly repaid. I then received notification that PayPal is asking an explanation for the aforementioned situation. 

I willingly provided the transaction information, stating that it was supposed to be my client 's payment in exchange for making a business presentation, which was not the case. I then proceeded to refund the money paid to me. Everything was fine until a few minutes after the case was closed and my account was permanently restricted. 

I immediately contacted their help center and stated what happened, but I have received no response so far. 

I believe this was unjust because I did not violate PayPal 's terms of services and have no control over how other people utilize their accounts. Furthermore, the money in my account is for college fees that will begin in the next few days, and I simply want my account back.

I refused to provide any information and they have called me a few times since.

State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
Experian responded to my dispute regarding one inaccurate late payment on my XXXX XXXX  by deleting the entire tradeline. On XX/XX/2020 the Deputy Legal Counsel for XXXX sent directions to remove the late payment reference and update the XXXX  Tradeline on my Experian. However, because Experian has deleted the tradeline, the information that XXXX is reporting does not appear on my credit report, dropping my score for no reason. Experian correctly reports the exact same mortgage account tradeline properly on my wife 's report, so they know my report is inaccurate. 

I have no way to dispute an account that has been deleted by Experian and my repeated calls and written requests to Experian have been fruitless. I am stuck with an inaccurate Experian credit report that there is no way to fix.

Complaint:
Citi Bank Credit Card agents are telling me two opposing stories. An agent named XXXX told me yesterday that my XXXX sign-up bonus ThankYou points would post to my account on my XX/XX/XXXX statement. The points did NOT post so I spoke to another agent named XXXX today. He claimed the 80k points offer was not even attached to my account. That is absolutely ridiculous. I have screenshots as proof of the offer I signed up with along with their terms and conditions. I met all requirements ( XXXX XXXX spend within the first 90 days ) and I did not violate any terms and conditions for this offer. Citi is being deceptive, misleading and unethical. They need to honor their own promotion.
