Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/24 XXXX was transferred into my paypal account. I reported it as an unauthorized transaction which opened a case on XX/XX/24. Since then the funds have been held and can not be moved anywhere. The website said I needed to respond to this dispute yet there was no place to respond or upload documents like the email stated i should do. They said I had until XX/XX/24 to respond to the dispute which i never did because there was no way to. I called 2 times on XX/XX/24 and their answering service hung up on me twice. I tried messaging the company through their website but anytime you do that it says they have no one online to talk to, so customer assistance is lacking. I spoke to someone today. I was on the phone for 45 minutes, on hold for at least 35 of those minutes and each time i was told they would look into it further only to tell me that the funds will still be held until the XXXX of XXXX. At which time i will receive an email notifying me of their dispute decision. At which time they will tell me that they feel the transaction was authorized and if I want to return the funds myself they are going to charge me almost XXXX  dollars to send the money back. They did not need to hold this money for 3 weeks to tell me this. I am still unable to do anything with this money and neither is the other party involved.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX. On XX/XX/2023 a {$20000.00} payment was deposited to my Chase bank account. 
XXXX. A month or so afterwards when I tried to use {$20000.00} by transferring them onwards- through the bank transfer mechanism. 
XXXX. The transaction was declined and I was instructed to make it again 4. This happened 4 times and each time they said something different why the transaction did not go through. 
XXXX. Finally they explained that the payment was done to a different name than the account owner XXXX. I explained that it is my husband 's name, and they requested to speak to him to make sure that he allows me to use this money. 
XXXX. Currently my husband lives abroad and doesn't have an American phone number and Chase refused to call him on an intranational phone number. 
XXXX. I asked why they didn't refuse the payment if it was not with the correct name, and they said that the other information was correct. I asked them to refuse the transaction, so the money will be returned to the payer, and they said it is too late for that. 
XXXX. They informed me that the payment is suspended, and that I can't use it. 
XXXX. Then they closed my account, and sent me a check, with my balance minus the {$20000.00}. 
XXXX. Because we had no other option my husband acquired a new XXXX phone. 
XXXX. I called Chase and gave them my husband 's number so they can talk to him and now their answer was that this number doesn't go through their anti-fraud system, and they can't call him on this number. 
I asked them to put XXXX on the line to understand what is the problem with this phone number, but they refused. 
XXXX. All I want is my {$20000.00}. And if they won't let we use it, at least return it to the sender, and they will transfer it to a different account. 

Thanks in advance
