Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have to submit this complaint because i have tried to contact you multiple times via the telephone and by the mail regarding this but I never was able to get my issue resolved. You never responded to my pleas. My credit report obtained recently shows a derragatory report posted by Wells Fargo bank as XXXX, as derogatory with the words charge off next to it. During this period I was dealing with the the deaths of both of my parents. I was forced to assume responsibility for their medical and other end of life needs. I only missed one credit cardpayment. I called multiple times and multiple times a Wells Fargo phone customer service rep assured me that Wells Fargo will remove it all. The customer service reps were graciously understanding and indicated that the late payments from this tumultuous time would not affect my credit. I am attaching the 2 death certificates of my parents as proof. 

Note, I was never told that by paying the balance in full I would be subject to a derogatory report on my credit. If I had known I would have done something else.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I opened an account with PayPal.com so a customer that owed me money should be able to pay me with his CC, on the same day, PayPal approved the account and the customer received the invoice and paid. 
Originally PayPal said that they will keep the money for 7 days, since it's a new account, on XX/XX/XXXX the day that they were supposed to release the money I got an email saying that they don't want to do business with me. which is ( not ) okay, but they said they're holding the money for 180 days, I tried calling, and there is no one to talk to. 
I asked them to refund the customer, they said they'll still charge the fee, besides, it's not possible to do that either. 
So at this time, no option to refund the customer, they're not allowing me to withdraw the money.
