I made a dispute to XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a report from Bank of America that states I was " Transacting ( or attempting to transact ) with an account in an unauthorized or prohibited manner. '' on XX/XX/2018. This information creates a false impression that I was attempting to commit fraud, whereas I was trying to make a quick transfer between an old and then, new bank during my time of travel, in order to have immediate access to my funds. Unfortunately the deposit was not made in time to satisfy the amount and the account was closed thereafter. The account took no loss, as I was awaiting the deposit with no attempt to withdraw the funds prematurely, and there was no balance owed to the bank. I had spoken to a couple of bank employees that even stated that was a common problem between the bank and its consumers, therefore leaving the consumer with false reports that can last several years.

I am writing in regards to a late payment on my credit report from for XX/XX/2019 on my Chase account # XXXX, highest balance {>= $1,000,000} that occurred due to a third-party error. 

My due date is the XX/XX/XXXX of the month. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a payment confirmation from XXXX stating that my payment was successfully submitted. However, one month later I realized that I had a late payment reported. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from the third-party company stating that they committed an error and my payment did not go through. 

This was a situation that I could not control. I had over {$50000.00} in the bank, which was more than enough to make the payment. This was not a money issue or even worse, because I did not want to pay. Now I have a perfect record of on-time payments. 

Please send the attached document to JP Morgan Chase Bank. 

Thank you for your consideration.

Issue: Other service problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (CA)

At some point in the past I had an online account with Venmo ( https : //venmo.com/ ) which is a service of PayPal, Inc. , allowing its users to transfer money between themselves. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a email from Venmo advising me that : " THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA REQUIRES US TO NOTIFY YOU THAT YOUR UNCLAIMED PROPERTY MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO THE STATE IF YOU DO NOT CONTACT US. '' When I attempted to log into my account the same day I was denied access, despite having the correct username, recovery email address, and password. 
Repeated attempts to correct the situation with Venmo customer support have failed. 

Currently, Venmo is refusing to give me access to my account, nor will they propose a solution which would allow me to recover the funds in the account and close it. 
While Venmo has a responsibility to require its users to authenticate themselves, they have made it impossible in my case. 

Below is a summary of my correspondence with Venmo customer service. 

1. I opened and used an account with Venmo using my US phone number XXXX. 
2. At some point, Venmo changed their authentication procedure, implementing a 2-factor system which requires a US phone number. 
3. In XXXX I moved to XXXX, where I have resided for the last three years. I no longer have a US phone number. Additionally, the credit/debit card numbers I provided did not correspond to what they had on file. 
4. Venmo 's secondary authentication solution requires sending them a photo of the user 's valid state-issued identification. However, my California driver 's license has expired, so they will not accept it. ( Also, Venmo has a truly atrocious online reputation as far as security goes, so sending them a photo of my ID seems like running a significant risk of identity theft. ) 5. In their last message Venmo are offering to return the money in my account to the individuals who sent it to me. That is not a satisfactory solution, since I have no idea who those individuals are, nor how much money is in the account. It would amount to theft.
