Consumer complaint received 2025-03-03 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX someone went in a Bank of America location off of XXXX XXXX in XXXX, TX and had five separate withdrawals totaling {$4700.00} in a short period of time. This branch is an hour from where I live. I have my debit card and driver license so the bank employee authorized the withdrawals without doing a proper authentication. Here is the amounts and transaction id 's : 1 ) {$980.00} ( transaction # XXXX ) 2 ) {$910.00} ( transaction # XXXX ) 3 ) {$990.00} ( transaction # XXXX ) 4 ) {$900.00} ( transaction # XXXX ) 5 ) {$980.00} ( transaction # XXXX ) Since all these transactions are just under {$1000.00} each and happened in a short period of time based off the transaction ID, the Bank of America employee should have identified this a fraud and notified a manager to do a full authentication. 

However, that did not happen. The worst part is that I attempted to make my XXXX mortgage payment in the amount of {$3800.00} on the XXXX as well. On Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX I logged into the bank account to see if it was processed yet and noticed the fraudulent activities so I went to the local branch in XXXX TX. I was conferenced in with the fraud department and filed a claim. They said it would take 90 days to get my {$4700.00} back. This does not seem reasonable to me since they have cameras and can easily verify the person that committed fraud was not me. I was concerned about credit reporting my mortgage late so I transferred money to cover the mortgage and was instructed to come in Monday, XX/XX/XXXX to place a hold on the account and prevent further fraud. 

Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I went into the branch and was told they will decline my mortgage payment even though there is funds to cover it since there was not enough in the account at XXXX Friday. I am upset that BofA is holding my money XXXX and declined my mortgage payment causing a late on my credit report and they are the ones that did not operate the right way. Somehow, their employee gave {$4700.00} of my money to someone without proper authentication but I have to suffer all the consequences. How am I supposed to get gas and buy food? {$4700.00} is a lot of money to me especially because my wife just lost her job last month.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
am so disappointed because I have dealt with PayPal for years now and have always felt that I would not be subjected to being scammed until now. On XX/XX/year> I placed an order with the seller XXXX for 3 wigs and used the PayPal pay in 4 option to complete the purchase in the amount of {$540.00}. I received the order on XX/XX/year> and reviewed them on XX/XX/XXXX and immediately emailed the seller about 1 of the wigs that was unsatisfactory. They emailed back and offered a {$20.00} refund, in which I declined. Thereafter they refused to respond further. I called PayPal and had a complaint placed & later escalated the matter because all I want is them to be held accountable for their online policy of 30 day return but since PayPal states I do not fall under the Buyer 's protection I am left to keep a wig I can not wear that is damaged & thinned out. It is unfair and I have done 2 additional appeals exclaiming I only want them to accept their product back but PayPal has left me to fend for myself with no recourse for the seller because the item is similiar to what they offered. It is disheartening and wrong that I have to keep a. Item that I so not like and lose my {$190.00} return amount. I thought I would be helped with this matter but I will never recommend using PayPal to anyone I know. It's just not right.

I requested that my PayPal account be closed and that my checking account and credit card information be deleted immediately. PayPal refused to do so. 

I have unauthorized PayPal charges that I disputed with my Bank, which caused PayPal to restrict my account. PayPal wants me to jump through hoops to " work on the restrictions '' and unblock my account before I close it. 

I refuse to upload my private information such as ID and bank and credit card statements. I simply want PayPal to close my account and delete all my personal information effective immediately.
