Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: OH
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Other bank product/service
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint:
I sell XXXX online for payment with paypal. I 'm registered with XXXX and follow strict customer Id and XXXX procedures. I had a customer buying large amounts of XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. We collected multiple selfie with id pictures. Also the customer was shipped secure tokens XXXX to her address and had to read back the numbers to prove she was who she said she was. This customer claimed on XXXX XXXX that her identity was stolen. She made a claim to paypal that her identity was stolen and after looking at all the customer identification, and her ip address, and useragent all matched her pc and iphone, they determined there was near XXXX probability that her identity had been stolen. So after a week though, paypal now claims that her bank did ach reversals on all {$16000.00} that she spent. They want me to pay this. I want the name of someone at the bank to speak to about this and proof, but paypal wo n't provide it. I do n't think I should have to pay paypal back if they wo n't allow me to refute the alleged evidence that they have. I do n't even see any evidence that anything was charged back. Paypal says that I 'm not protected because XXXX is not physical goods, but it is also not the same as music, videos, or software. If the product is stolen, I am out nearly 100 % of the cost unlike music, videos, or software that are only copies. Also every single sale was sold using XXXX which DOES PROVIDE TRACKING and proof that the customer recieved the merchandise. Yes, the seller should be liable under some circumstances, but I feel given the massive evidence of fraud on the customer 's part here that paypal should do something more. And I feel that I should at least be able to see the reversal documents from the bank as proof. If they want to redact some private information that is ok. It is a shame how banks and paypal allow people to commit obvious fraud and theft and do nothing about it, and try to pass along all the costs to the seller.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MN
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
I received my credit report from TransUnion today and in there it says I have a balance due of {$270.00} from XXXX that went to the collection agency XXXX. I have never had a account with XXXX, and when I called, they informed me that they have no information on me or any record of me ever being a customer with them. I then tried to fill a dispute online and over the phone with TransUnion and was denied because they could not confirm my identify based on the questions they had asked me ( questions I could n't answer because they 're possibly about whoever is stealing my identity or whoever they 've mistaken me with ). They were asking me questions about a auto loan and a mortgage, neither of which I have never taken out. I tried several times to tell them that fact, and also informed them there was another name and phone number on there that is n't me, and that this could potentially be a case of mistaken identify or even identify theft. I was told there was nothing they could do because they could n't confirm my identity.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
I requested XXXX to provide my home with TV service. The package I requested was not available in my service area. I immediately requested cancellation. They said that I was legally obligated to a 1 year contract. I never signed a contract. They said that I would also have to pay for the equipment they provided if I did not return it to them at my expense. I placed the equipment in their original boxes on my porch and informed XXXX that they could pick it up any time. They declined. XXXX then turned my credit information over to a collection agency who placed a collection on my credit bureau. I contacted both XXXX and AFNI Inc. regarding this report on my credit informing both agencies that I dispute this debt. They have refused to remove it from my credit report which has dropped from an XXXX FICO score to a XXXX. If they would like to attempt to obtain a civil judgment to collect this debt, I would welcome my day in court. Until that day, I have requested that they remove this stain from my otherwise perfect credit bureau and stop their harassment as they attempt to collect money for a service which they could not deliver and equipment which they were unwilling to come and retrieve.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NC
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I had a credit account open for several years with Wells Fargo, currently with no balance. Periodically I would check my online account with them just to insure there were no unauthorized charges and everything looked ok. I tried logging into my account and had to " try again later. '' I tried the next week and got the same message. I thought that maybe the site was down for maintenance when I was trying. After the third attempt on a different occasion, I phoned Wells Fargo and was told that my account had been closed because I hadn't used it in 18 months. I had no notice whatsoever, either regular mail or email. 
I told customer service that I wanted my account reopened. I was told they would not do that. I asked for her supervisor, then the next supervisor. I got a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX ( copy attached ) that stated that they would not reopen my account. 
In the meantime, I checked my credit report, and they had falsely reported my account " Closed by Consumer. '' Of course that lowered my available credit and showed that I was using a higher percentage of same, and it lowered my credit score. I filed a dispute with XXXX  stating that I DID NOT CLOSE my account. The result of the dispute came back showing no difference. I am adding a statement to my credit report that Wells Fargo LIED about my account 's closure. 
I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX ( copy attached ) and it stated " The account will show as closed by customer, as the reason for closure is the customer not using the account for eighteen months. '' I received NO notice of closure, or perhaps I would have used the card for a pending project. I looked over my last statement and could find NO MENTION of a closure possibility. I received NO Mail or NO EMAIL informing me of this situation. I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX ( copy attached ) informing me of revised terms. It only listed Revised Penalty terms and privacy notices. NO MENTION OF PENDING ACCOUNT CLOSURE, Please see the Wells Fargo article published in the XXXX XXXX  on XXXX. It states that " Account holders were given a 60-day notice of the closures '', and I absolutely received NO NOTICE. 
It is appalling that Wells Fargo can get away with reporting the LIE of " Closed by Customer. '' This should be against some ruling for reporting false information. I would liked to see them fined into oblivion.

Complaint:
I had my child in XXXX of 2021 and was taken off of my employment payroll accidentally and had to wait to receive my paid parental leave. I contacted XXXX for both XXXX of my credit cards because I would not be able to make payments on time. This was also during the time I got XXXX  with my XXXX month old in XXXX of 2021 and the federal government mandated that credit companies offer covid relief for payment deferments. I was told many times by XXXX not to worry ( even made payments as much as I could with my savings I had and receiving no income with a newborn and they refunded me/reversed the late fees ). In the months of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/2021 XXXX discriminated against me for having a child and COVID being unable to make on-time payments because my job was delayed in paying me and XXXX charged me late fees in each of those months ( even when I made smaller payments with everything I had ) and also reported the late payments to my credit reports which caused me financial hardship. I have hard these cards for almost a decade and made XXXX late payments prior to this and its disgusting how I am being treated as a customer. I am trying to buy my childhood home now after my father passed away in XXXX of 2021 and the credit reporting from XXXX discriminating against me is making my hardship worse and more difficult during this already difficult time by affecting my credit score and ability to purchase my childhood home through my fathers estate.
