Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (NY)

PayPal has my payments received on hold due to the amount sold on ebay recently, was told I had to wait for my money even though PayPal received fee. I called customer service twice on XXXX/XXXX/16 and the first time I called, I was told to call back later because the payment processing department was n't open at that moment in time. When I called later, I was told that because the items that I had XXXX were high end ( XXXX sneakers ) I had to wait three days before receiving my funds. My first issue is that I have been a member of PayPal since I was XXXX XXXX XXXX ( I 'm XXXX ) and have n't had money held since I started. Second, the buyer received the item and I still do not have my money. Third and most important, PayPal has received the fee they charge for completing the transaction in advance of distributing the funds to me. Why do I have to wait for my funds yet PayPal can take their money without waiting? This is an absurd practice. When I stated all of this to the customer service representative, they told me there was nothing they could do. I then asked to have my fees refunded as I think it is inappropriate to receive payment without rendering a service, but it was immediately declined. The ticket # for that complaint is XXXX. Account ID : XXXXXXXXXXXX

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (AZ)

I purchased a round-trip ticket from XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015 using a credit card ( card # XXXX ) from Capital One. On the return leg of the trip, XXXX XXXX required me to pay a baggage fee, which I did using a DIFFERENT credit card ( card # XXXX ) from Capital One. The trip was then canceled and XXXX XXXX eventually refunded some of the monies ( about XXXX % of the round-trip ticket ) onto the original card to purchase the ticket. When I tried to get a refund for the baggage fee on the OTHER credit card, they could n't find the purchase in their computer system and nothing was refunded. I then disputed the purchase to Capital One. 

Capital One took my complaint, but then denied my refund since XXXX XXXX said they refunded the baggage fee onto the other card, yet they could n't find the baggage fee on their computer system when I called to ask for a refund? They also denied it because I did n't provide a refund receipt, which I never received from XXXX XXXX. Since XXXX XXXX has that data, should n't they be required to either give it to me in the first place or supply it themselves? I also want to know how an XXXX like XXXX can say they refunded monies to a credit card that was n't even used to pay for the baggage fee originally? Since I used card # XXXX to pay for the baggage fee, how can they say they refunded the baggage fee money to card # XXXX, even if that card was used to purchase the original ticket but not the baggage fee? 

Thank you for your time.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (TX)

I made an on line purchase of a class ring in XXXX 2015. The vendor used PayPal as a method of payment. Having purchased several items using PayPal who has my credit card on file there was no problem. After several weeks of not having received the item, I gave the vendor a deadline to have the item delivered or the purchase would be cancelled. The item was not received and there were no charges on my credit card so I assumed to purchase was cancelled. Sometime in XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill from Bill Me Later/PayPal for the item. I contacted PayPal and XXXX XXXX and advised them I never opened an account with them and that the purchase in question was to have been placed on my credit card. I requested copies of my loan application, loan contract and disclosures, none of which have been provided. I attempted several more times to obtain documentation, all requests were ignored. I continue to receive statements and now I received a collection letter from a collection agency. This account was and is a fraudulent account not authorized by me and should never have been opened. I advised PayPal that the purchase was cancelled and that they should contact the vendor if they paid him.. The representative told me it was not their responsibility to resolve the issue however it is my understanding that since they did open an account on behalf of PayPal that under the Holder in Due Course Doctrine, they do have a responsibility. Either way, I did not authorize PayPal to open the account and from what I can tell, I am not an isolated incident.

Debt was paid by insurance company in XXXX 2015. Trinity Hope knew the debt was paid as an email was sent by the billing company to Trinity Hope at least on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The billing company and the insurance company do not have any records of another " mystery '' debt they claimed I owed.

The name of the original creditor provided in the Validation letter forward to me on XXXX XXXX, 2015 could not be found in a XXXX search. They did not provide this information to me because they did n't want me to contact the original creditor. They just continued to call and call and call and email and email me. Both the original creditor 's billing company and my insurance company has called and emailed them. Record all your phone conversations and demand that any correspondence be conducted by email. I did both and they prove that Trinity Hope violated Federal laws. I will be taking them to court on the civil side.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Having problems with customer service
Company: AES/PHEAA (VA)

I was on the Income-based repayment plan before I started XXXX school. When I started XXXX school, my loans went into in-school status. At the same time, it was time for me to reapply for the payment plan I was on. I 'm a XXXX employee XXXX, and I was also trying to work on the XXXX Forgiveness program. Fedloan told me that in order for my payments to count, my loans would have to be taken off deferment. My loan status of in-school also denied me from getting reapproved to have the payment I was on. They told me I had to wait for a form to come in the mail when in fact it could have been sent electronically. I filled out the form after waiting for two months. Come XXXX 2015 after my loan status was fixed, I reapplied for a reduced payment plan. That took 3 months to get resolved after talking with several general customer service reps and XXXX supervisors. Because I was waiting for them to change my payment plan, my loan payments returned to the normal rate of XXXX dollars per month. I ca n't afford that. After some time, my loans went into delinquency because I was waiting on Fedloan to change my payment plan. It was only two days after my due date that I called and got my account put a forbearance put on it. After speaking with a specialist, I finally managed to get on the payment plan I wanted. However, because of my loans going into delinquency, I owed XXXX dollars. I am currently working with the specialist I have been in contact with to get this resolved. 

In short, the problems I have with Fedloan deal not only with customer service issues, but with inefficient business practices. They are incompetent and almost not worth dealing with, even though I want to participate in the XXXX XXXX Forgiveness program.
