Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Trouble accessing funds in your mobile or digital wallet — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Venmo froze my account on XX/XX/XXXX, requiring me to submit a valid drivers license to unfreeze it. Unfortunately, my drivers license is expired, and I am currently unable to renew it due to lack of funds for the XXXX fees. Venmo will not accept an expired license, so my account remains frozen. While I understand and accept that Venmo can freeze or even permanently close the account, I believe they do not have the right to withhold the funds within it. These funds belong to me, and I am concerned that Venmo is essentially confiscating them without justification. 

Since my drivers license renewal isnt possible at this time, I am requesting that Venmo release my funds through an alternative method. I am not seeking to continue using the Venmo account ; I simply need access to my money. However, despite my numerous attempts to work with Venmo on this matter, I have encountered constant roadblocks. 

Here is a summary of the actions I've taken and the issues I've encountered : 1. Bank Account Linking : Venmo requires an external bank account to transfer funds out, and I only have a PayPal account, which has a valid routing and account number. However, every attempt to add my PayPal account as an external account results in an error. Ive provided Venmo with my PayPal account details, yet the system still prevents me from linking it.

2- Debit Card Linking : I attempted to link a debit card as an alternative way to withdraw funds, but Venmo also blocked this option.

3- Alternative Requests : Ive asked Venmo multiple times, via over XXXX emails, to either mail me a check or send a prepaid card with my funds. I received no response to these requests, leaving me without any viable way to access my money.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I received a promotional cash bonus for {$320.00} mailing from Wells Fargo Bank. This cash bonus will be automatically credited to my checking account should I make arrangement for a direct deposit of at least {$1000.00} into my checking account within 90 days from the account open date. On XX/XX/year> I came to Wells Fargo local branch situated on XXXX, XXXX, TX. and presented the mailing {$320.00} coupon to XXXX XXXX XXXX, the banker who opened my account and made direct deposit arrangement on my behalf. In my presence XXXX XXXX confirmed with Wells Fargo marketing department that I would be eligible for the cash bonus of {$320.00} after the 90-days qualification period has elapsed. However, this did not happen. I met with the banker on XX/XX/year>, on this issue. He escalated the issue to his management channel. On XX/XX/year>, I received Wells Fargo letter stating that I did not qualify for the cash bonus because banker did not open the checking account through a required link for online offer webpage. Obviously, this decision is erroneous because it was opened and confirmed by Wells Fargo 's banker. The matter continued to escalate through Wells Fargo Management offices. Several emails correspondences back and forth without a justified resolution. On XX/XX/year>, and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX respectively I wrote Wells Fargo warning them that I would file a complaint with CFPB against them for their deception towards the consumer and their failure to honor a written marketing promise should they not credited me with {$320.00} cash bonus I had earned. Thus, this complaint follows and filed now.
