Issue: Trouble accessing funds in your mobile or digital wallet — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (WA)

Venmo ( a service of PayPal , Inc. ) is currently experiencing a " nationwide '' system error that prevents some users from accessing their funds and logging into the Venmo app or Venmo website. Users have not been notified about this outage which has been occurring since Monday XX/XX/XXXX, according to Venmo support agent XXXX. There is nothing the customer or Venmo support can do, and users are required to wait an indeterminate amount of time to access their funds while Venmo engineers continue to work on the issue. There is no ETA for the fix. 

I contacted support twice, first by email on XX/XX/29 and then by phone on XXXX. The email support agent took no action but said to wait and try again 24 hours later ( which I did to no avail ). I then emailed again but didn't receiving anything back. I then called on XXXX and talked to XXXX who said it's a known national outage, that there's nothing he or I can do, but to wait until development can fix the issue.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Rausch Sturm LLP (WI)

I sent an email to RauschSturm LLP via their website requesting proof of the validity of this debt.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MS)

Citi Bank/Shell/CBNA opened an account in my name fraudulently in 2017. During a routine traffic stop with the XXXX Police Department, this card along with several other cards in my name were found with an unidentified victim. I was notified by police to come to the station to file a complaint and to pull a credit report for the types of cards. I was not able to obtain the actual card because it was used as evidence. 

I contacted Citi Bank within 30 days of being notified I am an identity theft victim. I provided them with the police report, I provided them with the Federal Trade Commissions identity theft report, I provided them with proof of my address, I also provided them with proof of my name. I have provided them with every single piece of information I can find. 

I asked Citi Bank/Shell/CBNA to at least provide me with the identification of the person that opened the account, they could not because the account was opened online. 

Citi Bank is a very large company, this was in fact the smallest balance of any of the identity theft issues yet this is my most difficult case. 

Citi Bank is unaware of how it works when someone opens a gas card in your name. They continue to pay the monthly bill yet they sell gas to individuals as part of a scam. It is unethical for Citi Bank to ignore this and constitute it as not part of identity theft when they have no identifying information to validate this account.

It appears that my credit with you has been compromised. I was going through my records & noticed many files which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. If you feel there is a possibility these items belong to me, I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research items I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that these items are 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the items are verified, please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Consumer complaint received 2020-02-22
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (CT)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a checking account at Citizens Bank as part of a bonus offer mailed to my home of residence. Per the bonus requirements, I changed my direct deposit to the new checking account in the amount of {$500.00}. This would qualify for a {$300.00} bonus. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was unable to log into my bank account online. I reached to Citizen Bank customer support via phone and was told my account has been closed. The support representative was not able to provide a reason why it was closed and told me I will be receiving a letter detailing the reason of closure. Furthermore, numerous attempts were made local branches to acquire this letter but were met with the same fruitless responses stating to wait for the closing letter.

To present day, I still have not been received any formal notification or letter in regards to why the account was closed, thus effectively denying the checking account bonus offer solicited by Citizens Bank. The action and practices by Citizens Bank should be deem malicious and predatory, as their attempts to collect my personal information and cajole me to direct {$500.00} from my employer direct deposit that only serves to benefit themselves.

Additionally, Citizens Bank continues to send me the same exact checking bonus offer to further solicit my direct deposit funds to their bank. Brazenly enough, this Bank has even went as far to off entice me with a personal loan offer for them to pull my credit report information and deny any terms of the offer agreement.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

It is reported that I was 30+ days late on a Bill. On XX/XX/XXXX the company listed above charged me a fee of {$39.00}, prior to that day this account had a XXXX balance. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from a credit monitoring service that a delinquency was reported to my credit history by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. I signed into my account with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and observed that they charged me this {$39.00} fee which had a due date of XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately paid the balance. However, I never received a paper bill, an electronic bill, late notice, and/or a phone call that I had this balance with them. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX and spoke with a representative and advised that I never received any notice of this bill. The representative advised that no bill was mailed or no electronic statement was sent. The representative advised a dispute would be put in to have the delinquency removed and advised it would take up to 14 days. 
On XXXX XXXX the delinquency was still showing so I followed up with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and spoke with a representative who advise that the dispute was approved and should show removed. 

On XXXX XXXX the delinquency was still showing, so I contacted XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX again about the matter and was transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor advised that the dispute was denied. After providing all the above details to the supervisor, she advised that no notification was made because the email on file was not valid. I provided her with my email of XXXX, and she advised that email was the one they had on file. Also in the past Ive received previously from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  electronic statements. She also advised that someone attempted contacting me at XXXX ( my cellphone number ) on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX pacific time ( XXXX central time my time ). I check my phone records and did not have an incoming phone call at that time. The supervisor advised that she would put in another dispute form based on the above information. 

On XX/XX/XXXX the delinquency was still showing, I contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX again. I was again transferred to a supervisor. The supervisor advised that the dispute was denied. I was instructed to mail a letter to dispute the matter. 

I am requesting an investigation into this matter and requesting that these delinquencies be removed from my credit history. Its apparent that an error occurred in regard to notify me of the bill, which I was capable of paying if aware of it, and I am paying the consequence of that error. I have never been late on any of my bills since being with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  and Im willing to take this as far as necessary to have this removed because this is a very serious matter to me.
