Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
From XXXX XXXX XXXX  to XXXX XXXX XXXX  I have been having issues with my Venmo account being frozen. My account is working properly until there is a transfer that is about to be initiated and then Venmo freezes the account. It's not frozen on the initial day when the transaction is about to take place but on day XXXX when the money is finally supposed to move. This happened 2 times. My account is still frozen because they want additional information about outside accounts which I do not want to provide for my own privacy. They have obtained my personal identification 3 times in this process over the last week. I had multiple transactions that were similar or larger in the month of XXXX with minor issues but was able to perform them. For some reason, the transactions are now flagged and I can not get access to my funds. I am not going to keep providing them with confidential information even if they say I can redact certain parts. They are now threatening to keep my funds for at least XXXX days. The only way to communicate to the people in this process is through " account specialists '' who are only available through email or messages and can have a lag of up to XXXX business days. There is no specific person to speak to. This is a scam to keep money in your Venmo account. I looked up their past history and the FTC caught them on this same issue some time ago and they have not changed. I have also requested arbitration information multiple times either with the consumer phone number or email but I have not received it.

I've attached a copy of my credit report from XX/XX/XXXX from experians website HIGHLIGHTING ALL THE INACCURACIES.
