Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I was traveling in XXXX XXXX, XXXX and stopped at a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX to get gas. I handed my card to the clerk to pay for gas. He turned towards the pump to ring me up, which caused his back to be to me, to charge the transaction. He acted like the card wasnt reading. After he turned back towards me I noticed he had the card reader in one hand and his cell phone in the other which I thought was strange. He returned the card to me, I left the gas station and immediately pulled over to lock my card as I had a feeling something shady had just occurred. It was too late as the charge for gas was on my account as well as another charge for {$1300.00}. I immediately called Barclays to report the fraud. I also attempted to find a police station while on the phone with Barclays to report the theft. If they have the phone recording of our call, you can hear me clearly very distressed. I waved down a policeman and attempted to ask where the police station was. I also tried to tell him that my credit card had been stolen by the gas station attendant. Unfortunately, Neither of us understood the other. Due to the language barrier and XXXX maps providing incorrect information, I never found the police station after over an hour of searching. I did the only thing I could think of to hopefully help other travelers avoid this situation/gas station and posted my experience on a XXXX travel forum on XXXX. 

Barclays initially removed the charge. Then, on XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Barclays dated XX/XX/XXXX stating they determined the card had been in my possession and the charge was valid. The card was absolutely not in my possession, it was in the possession of the gas station attendant who ran a fraudulent charge and illegally stole my information. 

I called Barclays who informed me I needed to fax a signed statement as to what occurred. I submitted this statement on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter from Barclays dated XX/XX/XXXX saying that they determined I was responsible for the charge as I failed to maintain security of the card. I am dumbfounded by this finding. I had to pay for gas so I had to hand my card to the attendant. I did not know he was running an illegal, unauthorized, fraudulent charge on my card until after I left the gas station and checked my account. 

I am shocked at Barclays handling of this situation. I have had an account with Barclays for several years. I have never missed or been late on a payment and have never had a fraudulent charge before this.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made an attempt to make a purchase and the sale was declined 5 times, due to the time restraint and the fear of my card being locked, the purchase wasn't made. When I arrived back in the country, I became sick and was placed in XXXX. My wife assisted me with calling Wells Fargo because I kept getting message about a low balance to my account. At the time of the call after reviewing the account online, we noticed the 7 declined transaction was posted to the account which prompted us to do a claim. The claim went thru and I was told they would investigate it and let me know. After a few days, I was told the charge is valid and the I would have to go into a branch and show them receipt of the failed transactions. I did that on XX/XX/XXXX and was told there was nothing Wells Fargo can do. I called the vendor and they said the bank would have to reverse the charges. I have been a bank holder with Wells Fargo when they were XXXX. I trust my money should be protected when I add funds to the account which seems like its not. I would like to file this complaint because I've don't all the I can do as a consumer.

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

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I noticed potential fraudulent activity on my PayPal Account # XXXX. I believe the initial red flag was seeing a payment dispute that came in. I had not used the account in a while so it was odd to see a dispute. 

I notified PayPal immediately by chat and by calling them. I followed the steps given. Change my password and update security information. However, PayPal had already transferred money from my account. 

I then noticed an unauthorized withdrawal on XX/XX/XXXX to an unknown bank account. Information below. 

Funding Type : Bank Account Funding Source : {$330.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX Funding Type : PayPal balance Funding Source : - {$330.00} USD - PayPal Account I reported the transaction to the community federal savings bank and requested they return the funds. I have not received those funds as of today XX/XX/XXXX. 

After this initial report to PayPal I continued to receive disputes and requests for refunds. PayPal began to charge me {$15.00} per dispute. I spoke with a representative on the phone that saw the communication history from me to PayPal. The representative then waived the dispute fees. However, the disputes and fees continued to come in. I reported again to PayPal and requested several times that my account be frozen or deleted to avoid any future issues. I was told the account could not be closed as there was an existing negative balance due to the ongoing {$15.00} per dispute being filed. Again, the disputes were due to a hacked account that I had notified PayPal of maybe a dozen times if not more. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice of collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is a debt collector Reference # XXXX RE : PayPal Account XXXX attempting to collect the amount of {$400.00}. 

While compiling information for this report, I discovered an email on XX/XX/XXXX in my email account that was associated with PayPal at the time. The email says a trusted device was added to my PayPal account. This was not me or any authorized activity. Following after are a few emails requesting to verify small deposits made to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX. I assume this was the unauthorized user gaining approval to link the bank account. What's odd, is these emails came in after the {$330.00} was already sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The email for amount verification came in on XX/XX/XXXX and then a reminder on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I'm hoping to catch the collections before it hits my credit report and regain lost funds.

Company response to consumer: Closed with monetary relief
