Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX at approximately around XXXX I visited the 5/3 branch in XXXX, Sc on XXXX XXXX to deposit {$1100.00} through the drive through ATM. I did not receive a receipt so I went inside the branch to ask for a receipt. As soon as I entered and explained the situation I was immediately dismissed - he refused to help me and said 5/3 has nothing to do with what the ATM does. He even questioned as it as if I was lying about depositing money, didnt check cameras to verify - he did absolutely nothing to help me and referred me to the customer service line when I explained that they took my money and does it even show it in my account - again was told nothing showing call customer service and I hate to mention this but I almost felt as if my skin color was different it would have been taken more serious that XXXX just disappeared- nowhere to be found, nothing. I then called customer service and after several transfers reached XXXX the dispute manager - explained my situation and that this was my RENT money and I could be charged a {$100.00} late fee and I needed to know what can be done to access MY money that I deposited in THEIR atm. I once again receive no help and was told it didnt matter how long of a member I was and it was an unfortunate situation. I felt completely hopeless, I received 0 help and no one in 5/3 can tell me where my money was at but XXXX made sure to tell me if this was fraud they would close my account immediately and charge me all these fees so it made me feel as if I was looked at as an immediate liar but the cameras will show me there depositing my money. Times are rough. I have a family to take care of and I dont know what else to do. Thank you for your time!

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
Good morning. 

I am experiencing ongoing difficulties with sending and receiving payments on my PayPal account. Despite completing the verification process two months ago, I continue to encounter blocks on sending and receiving funds. 

Recently, upon issuing an invoice to a client, I was immediately notified of a new block. Attempts to contact support informed me that reactivation of functions would not be possible due to security concerns. This situation is particularly frustrating given that it is a commercial account, and such blocks affect all transactions, including the sending and receiving of payment orders. 

I have reviewed PayPals acceptable use policies and, after consulting for clarifications regarding my companys business model and segment, I was assured that I am in compliance with PayPals internal regulations. Given this, I can not understand the reason for the blocks. 

It is of utmost urgency that access to my account be restored. I am counting on the PayPal teams support to resolve this issue and eagerly await a response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding the inaccurate late payment reporting and unfair payment practices by Torrid Credit Card ( Comenity Bank ), which have unlawfully impacted my credit score and consumer rights. 
I have attempted to make my payments on time for my Torrid Credit Card account ( XXXX ) via online payments, as I have done for years, ensuring compliance with traditional secure payment methods. However, Torrid has changed their Bill Payment Term and Conditions so that in order to access your account online, you have to agree to only receive statements and all communications electronically or pay a fee to receive a paper statement. I currently receive paper statements and wish do continue to do so, but I refuse to pay a fee to receive what should be free to consumers. 
When I contacted Torrid on several occasions to inquire about making my payments, they tried coercing me into unsafe payment routes ( phone payment to overseas call centers ). I do not feel comfortable doing this because I worry about identity theft and the security of my information, since the customer service department is located in a foreign country. 
As a result of their refusal to process my payments through traditional secure means, my account is being inaccurately reported as late on my credit report. 

Violations : Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ), 15 U.S.C. 1666 : This act entitles me to dispute billing errors, which includes unjust actions arising from the refusal of mailed payments, resulting in inaccurate late fees and negative credit reporting. 
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 : Protects against unfair practices in debt collection. The insistence on online or telephonic payments, compromising my information security, breaches these protections. 
Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 : Ensures accuracy and fairness in credit reporting. Comenity Bank/Torrid Credit Card has inaccurately reported late payments despite my attempts to pay on time via acceptable methods. 

I have sent dispute letters to Comenity Bank/Torrid Credit Card , requesting the removal of any inaccurate late payment information from my credit report. 
I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the company, but they continue to insist that I pay through unsafe methods.
