Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Iowa XXXX Subject : Complaint Against PayPal for Unfair Practices and Withholding of Funds Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against PayPal, the online payment platform, for engaging in what I believe to be unfair practices resulting in the deliberate withholding of my funds. This situation has caused considerable distress and appears to be a systematic effort by PayPal to retain funds and impose unwarranted charges. 

Here are the details of my complaint : Account Freeze and Fraud Claim : After adding a new card to my PayPal account to reflect updated information, consistent with my account details, PayPal froze my account, alleging fraudulent activity. I provided extensive documentation, including my passport, driver 's license, a copy of the added card, and a current bill, all of which were refused by PayPal. 

Unjustified Delay : Despite my compliance with their request for additional information, PayPal insisted on a 72-hour waiting period, which concluded yesterday. However, I have yet to regain access to my funds, and they are now proposing charges for the release of my own money. 

Financial Imposition : PayPal is demanding fees for releasing my funds, compounding the situation with an additional charge for the transfer. This imposition is not only unjustified but adds insult to injury, as I am being penalized for attempting to access my own funds. 

Deceptive Practices : I would like to highlight that I do not typically use PayPal due to their reputation for deceptive practices. Unfortunately, in this instance, I had no alternative payment option due to a transcription service that exclusively accepts PayPal payments. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigates this matter thoroughly to determine if PayPal is engaging in deceptive practices and withholding funds from consumers in an unjust manner. 

Enclosed are the relevant documents, including my correspondence with PayPal and proof of identity, to facilitate your investigation. I am willing to provide any additional information necessary for a comprehensive assessment. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take prompt and effective action to rectify this situation and ensure PayPal 's adherence to fair and transparent financial practices. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a favorable resolution.

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
When I received my first email to begin paying Aid Advantage I tried to access my account. I dont have any login information from them, so I tried entering my SSN and birth date. The automated system told me this was incorrect. Ive tried many times calling Aid Advantage in an effort to access my account and have things fixed. I have sat on hold many times waiting to take to a representative. I am unable to get through to anyone and they dont give you an email address just a phone number for customer service issues such as this. It is impossible to reach anyone on the phone and I cant login to my account to begin payments. Now I am incurring a ridiculous amount of late fees even though I am unable to access my account due to their system errors with my SSN and birth date.

Company: DailyPay, Inc
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
The company I work for uses DailyPay to process employee pay. My pay is direct deposited to my bank account. This is a vital service DailyPay is contracted to perform for companies. Yet for several months, DailyPay has had notices on their website and app that processing is taking longer than usual and deposits could be late. I have experienced later than usual direct deposits on a few occasions, usually a few hours later than usual. However, my pay for this period is now more than XXXX hours late and I still have not received it. I called DailyPay and told them I need my pay to pay bills today, including a bill for {$1700.00}, and all they could offer was an apology and an offer to " escalate '' the problem, as if it is not well known to them. These delays are becoming more frequent and more serious. They have profound, real-world impacts on people. Yet DailyPay doesn't seem to be overly concerned. DailyPay needs to fix this problem or get out of this business so a more competent company can get this done.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Ive filed several disputes for XXXX XXXX XXXX with Equifax. Ive provided proof that XXXX XXXX is my original lender and not XXXX. I provided proof that the terms and amount listed is incorrect. I requested via certified mail that equifax provide the documents used to verify this account or remove the account if no docs exist and equifax refused. They only responded by saying the account will be removed in 7 years and my personal information was confirmed. I spoke with a agent and she said that they do not have any documents to provide and that XXXX verbally confirm the account belongs to me. I expressed several time that the debt belongs to XXXX XXXX  and XXXX should not be listed as a original creditor on my report nor should they be listed as an auto because i have never had an auto loan with them. Equifax told me that do not have the capability to remove an account and I would need to speak to the creditor to get them to remove it. Although I have my original creditor for that loan on my report as a closed account which is XXXX XXXX sales and proof of my contract with them which is proof that I dont have a auto loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX is providing inaccurate information being the original creditor, 151 months for the term on a auto loan. XXXX XXXX is the original lender and they have went bankrupt and I expressed that the debt was included in a bankruptcy but once again Equifax is failing to investigate properly. XXXX is reporting inaccurately to the credit bureaus and Equifax is failing to investigate properly and protect me as a consumer which has now ruined my credit. If there are no documents verifying that XXXX is my original creditor ( a contract or agreement ) then there is no reason Equifax should be refusing to remove the account and telling me to contact the creditor.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
From XXXX I made various attempts to change my last name with Ally Financial. I was directed to call the XXXX customer service line because I need to, and quote " speak to another department ''. After making these attempts, when payments would try to clear my account they were getting rejected because the name did not match. XXXX XXXX sent me a letter stating if anymore ACH transactions tried to clear under the name " XXXX XXXX '', my account would be frozen due to fraud security which in fact did happen. After making several attempts to pay balance in good faith ( with available funds ), Ally Financial denied taking payment via over the phone with debit card. Once a few payments were made with Ally Financial via XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, the fee charged through those entities were requested to be posted to the balance owed on the loan. Ally Financial refused to post the amount to the loan. And in the contract between myself and Ally Financial does not state that I have to pay XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX using debit is also a way of receiving secure funds, and Ally Financial denied payment of the loan using this method. Also, no communication via letter, required by PA state law was sent certified by mail in regards to repossession of the XXXX XXXX XXXX, not to the garaged address nor my husband 's former address where they attempted to pick up the automobile.. Then the company attempted to repossess the automobile twice without notice, after refusing to take payment via debit card by phone method or via Ally Financial App. After hiring an attorney, Ally Financial stated they could not speak with me, and would need to speak with my attorney. And after providing my attorney 's information, they stated they did not have it. I had to provide her information several times before any attempts to contact her was made. After one call to my attorney 's office, a call from my attorney was returned to no avail. 1 call to my attorney was made after several months of attempting to make payments using my new legal name and giving Ally Financial my attorney 's information. My attorney even wrote to Ally Financial via using their customer service emailing method and again no return email of phone call. After giving the company avid time to respond to my attorney, and stated that if the company did not respond in the allotted amount of time they would forfeit any amount owed. No response to me or my attorney was received AT ALL.
