Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/23 I sent {$130.00} to a bird breeder that turned out to be fraudulent. On XX/XX/23 I sent {$50.00} for 'trackable shipping ' which was fraudulent. On XX/XX/23 I sent {$150.00} for a XXXX  visit that was fraudulent. When I attempted to resolve the issue, the breeder verbally abused me and blocked me. I opened three separate disputes, each had a ~10-page report detailing every action taken by the fraudulent breeder and myself. 

PNC declined all three of my disputes. I called to request what information they had used in making this decision and was told that my emails with my reports had been received. 

PNC does not believe I was defrauded because I gave the fake breeder my real information. I asked if I bought a shirt from a website, and then that website disappeared and my shirt never arrived. Would PNC help me in that instance? I was told no, they would not. 

As a member of PNC before PNC was known as PNC, I am rethinking my decades-old membership with them. I do not trust them with my money. I was also encouraged by a PNC agent to open the disputes and told that I would 'probably win '. 

If PNC can not support a customer of XXXX years on {$340.00} I certainly would not trust them with a loan or any other service. I will be changing banks. 

I have requested that I want the CFPB to publish this description of my experience with PNC on consumerfinance.gov so that others can learn from my experience.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I attempted to send a {$500.00} payment to a merchant on Venmo using my XXXX XXXX XXXXard. The transaction failed with a try again later message. I attempted to send the {$500.00} payment again and it went through. Later that day, I checked my XXXX XXXX statement and noticed that I had two transactions pending for {$500.00} to the merchant I was paying. I assumed one of the transactions would fall off since Venmo gave me the error message stating that the transaction failed and couldnt be processed. Days went by and the second transaction never fell off, XXXXXXXX XXXX had approved both {$500.00} transactions and sent the money to Venmo twice. Ive been in touch with the merchant as they are a close friend of mine and they have said they only received my payment once and in fact, my Venmo transaction history only shows one outgoing payment to the merchant for {$500.00}. I have filed multiple claims with XXXX XXXX stating that I did not authorize the payment to go through twice and have been declined the credit back to my account each time because XXXX states that the transaction was authorized and that Venmo received the money twice. I have also filed claims with Venmo multiple times stating to them that XXXX XXXX states that they sent Venmo and Venmo has received two separate transactions for {$500.00} each but Venmo has denied each of my claims stating that only one transaction was processed, the other failed to process and that they only received one payment for {$500.00}. I have bank statements proving that Venmo received two separate transactions with two separate serial numbers from my XXXX XXXX.
