Complaint narrative:
Tried disputing a credit line that I did NOT open. I also have not ever had a history of using credit cards and someone managed to open a credit card and max it out completely in my name. 

My credit score completely bombed and it is now at the lowest its ever been. 

Upon trying to dispute and rectify this issue, the investigation only took a measly 2 days before results came back, suggesting they didn't investigate it as thoroughly as they should.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to Venmo on XX/XX/XXXX to dispute a charge. My account was frozen and has been since then. I received my disputed funds back to the account on XX/XX/XXXX, which is the same day that instructions were messaged to me about unfreezing my account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I uploaded the necessary documents and completed the requested password change. Since then, my account has been frozen despite me reaching out on three occasions to unfreeze the account. I am simply told that the specialist is behind, and today XX/XX/XXXX, I was actually told that it would be up to 10 days for the specialist to unfreeze my account. This is unacceptable, as Venmo ought to have enough staff to fulfill their statement of a turnaround of 2-3 business days. 

Today I was told that a note was put on my account to try and expedite the unfreezing process, but I was told that if I do not receive a notice about my account being unfrozen by XX/XX/XXXX, then to reach out to Venmo again. I don't think this is appropriate, as it is day 9 of the 10 day turnaround, and there is still no guarantee my account will be unfrozen by then.
