Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021, I received {$50.00} for a lamp that a woman purchased from me. Her son picked it up the same day without issues. After a week she started complaining that the lamp took out her entire apartments fuses and that it is faulty. I claimed that the lamp had been working fine and literally plugged out and gave it to her son. I told her, I can take back the lamp and replace it with another that I also had ( I was selling both, she just needed one ). She started claiming that me and my wife are scary people and she wouldnt want to deal with us and is scared to meet us. I told her, she doesnt have to meet us, she can drop the lamp off with my buildings front desk and we will reverse the transaction. She kept insisting meeting at the police station which I didnt want to have to deal with ( she could throw a tantrum and wed have no way to defend ourselves and it didnt seem worth for {$50.00} ). So we said if she cant return it the way she picked it up, we cant reverse the money to her. 

She has paid me through Venmo on XX/XX/2021. On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that XXXX dollar had been deducted from my account by Venmo. I tried to reach them in any which way possible to see how they could conduct a transaction on my behalf without my consent. After reviewing the case they told me that Venmo is meant for friends and family who trust each other to transfer money between. This should also apply to the woman who made this claim and based on her account of events, Venmo shouldnt also have the right to reverse this transaction without my consent. 

I have raised 2 dispute cases with Venmo and each time they told me I was in the wrong.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went into a Bank of America branch to deposit my State of California Tax refund check of {$27000.00}. The teller provided a confirmation slip that said {$22000.00} would be held until XX/XX/XXXX. On Friday XX/XX/XXXX I received a notice that the entire amount was placed on hold with the reason being A hold was placed on your check ( s ) because check specific information indicates item may be returned. I called customer service and they were not able to provide a reason for the hold and they were not able to provide an availability date. I later learned that the availability date was also pushed out 2 days from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. At no time have I been provided a specific reason for the hold. At any rate the whole process is dubious given that the check is from the State of California, it says Tax Refund on the check.

Complaint narrative:
In early XX/XX/2022 I made a {$500.00} payment to a credit account ( XXXX XXXX ) to bring my debt ratio down below the 30 % mark. On XX/XX/2022, both TransUnion and XXXX registered the payment and DROPPED my score by XXXX POINTS! I have filed a complaint with XXXX ( who collect my scores ) and they directed me to file a dispute with the credit companies. I did as advised, both companies have acknowledged that it was correct to report that I made the {$500.00} payment, but they refuse to adjust my credit score. 

I do not think the credit reporting system in this country is designed to penalize people for reducing credit. The credit reporting companies give the public clear guidelines about how to manage a " good '' credit score. I have followed those guidelines and had gotten my score up into the " very good '' range. A XXXX point drop buts me on the border between " fair '' and " good ''. This is a travesty that I believe keeps Americans from lifting themselves up in society. Please address this. Thank you.
