Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX sent me a Venmo in the amount of XXXX. I tried to instant transfer it to my bank in order to pay rent. Instant transfer was declined for some reason but standard transfer was available with a date of XX/XX/2023 given as the date to transfer to my bank by 2 different agents. Neither agent could tell me why the amount was on hold. I called on Monday and was told the same thing. I called today and was advised an additional 5 days may be needed before the funds would be released. This was never disclosed previously. Transcripts of all conversations were provided to me. XXXX XXXX Venmos me all the time as she is my rep payee for my XXXX funds. These are federal funds. Theyve never been held before and no reason was given as to why now. This is adverse action against me as a Medicare recipient. Additionally, Im incurring XXXX in late fees for being late with rent because of Venmo. I was told I could not escalate and no one knew who regulated Venmo. Id like the policy to be clearer, reasons for holding xfer past the 3 day window to be provided and any fees to transfer these funds be waived. The escalation policy should also be reviewed. My bank is XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is XXXX XXXX and my name is on that account as well. Im being adversely affected. Funds couldve easily been verified. Please respond asap. Id also like a letter be sent to my rental company regarding this issue and for Venmo to refund any fees I incur for being late on rent. Thank you.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On approx. XX/XX/23, I was notified by my XXXX XXXX  company that someone had opened a credit card in my name at CITI bank. I contacted Citi and was told that they had stopped the issue of the card. I then contacted XXXX XXXX and they proceeded to take a report and have the new credit card canceled and my credit report updated as well. In the interim, I received a call from XXXX XXXX asking if I had recently tried to open a new account there. I told them no and they said they would take care the problem. I then had XXXX XXXX have the credit bureaus put a fraud flag on my account which would prevent anyone other than me from opening new accounts in my name. In addition, the same week the credit card issue happened, my bank account was hacked, and the bank stopped the requested transaction, and I was required to open a new account.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a checking account with Citibank as part of a promotion on XX/XX/XXXX. The promotion offered a {$1000.00} bonus if I maintained a min {$75000.00} balance for 60 days. I funded my account on XX/XX/XXXX and became eligible for the bonus on XX/XX/XXXX. Payment of the bonus was to occur within 30 days of meeting the eligibility requirements on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I called Citibank on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about the status of the bonus. I was told that I had met the eligibility requirements but that I still needed to submit a W-9 form. This requirement was not included in the terms and conditions of the promotion and was never communicated to me verbally or in writing. I would never have even known about the requirement if I hadn't called to inquire about the status of my bonus. 

I sent my W-9 form on XX/XX/XXXX and called two weeks later to check on the status of my bonus. I was told that it had not been received and that I should send another W-9 form. I requested a fax number, secure email, or physical address so that I could be sure that my W-9 form would be received and processed in a timely manner. I was instead provided with the same po box address to which I had sent my first form. 

I sent my W-9 form again on XX/XX/XXXX and followed up again on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about the status of the bonus. I was told again that the W-9 form had not been received. I asked again for a secure method by which I could send my W-9 form and was told to send it to the same po box address. Rather than have them lose my documents again, I decided to file this complaint. 

I am of the opinion that the bank is seeking one of two outcomes ; ( 1 ) that new customers forget about the bonus or give up trying to receive it, or ( 2 ) the bank delays the payment of the bonus to such an extent such that they earn enough interest on the min deposit to offset the bonus payment. Either strategy is shameful, disingenuous, misleading, deceptive, and quite possibly illegal. 

I would be glad to provide additional details as need to hold this institution accountable and prevent them form committing the fraud on other unsuspecting consumers.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
