Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I had just returned a payment from a sender. Instead of reversing the transaction from the sender, Paypal initiated a withdrawal from my bank account. There was inadequate balance and a fee was assessed. I added funds to my bank account to cover fees, etc. 
Because Paypal has such an inadequate process, I then accepted the funds from the sender. However, even after I had accepted the payment they tried the same deduction again for the same payment, and this time it went through. 
I have asked them multiple times - 'Why do you keep initiating withdrawals from my bank account? No transfer should go through from my bank account. ' No response. 
I also called them today and a lady likely from an XXXX country came on the line. I mentioned the issue multiple times, but it went above her head. I asked to be connected to a supervisor and after another long hold, the line got disconnected. 

How messed up is their lousy system?

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Called Ally Bank to receive my payoff amount to make final payments.

These were purposely added after getting my payoff amount just so I couldn't pay account off. Ally bank refuses to waive these erroneous late and misc. fees even after I've be loyal customer for years! I told them to remove the payments I made from the fees and apply towards my principle, but I was told that is not something they can do by the manager that came on the phone? I've been lied to and cheated by Ally Bank multiple times and something needs to be done!
