Money was in Venmo and a funds transfer was initiated XX/XX/2022. Estimated completion time was given as XX/XX/2022. The money is still pending as of XX/XX/2022. A ticket was submitted through Venmo, however no contact has been made and no other options are available. The chat bot does not have a resolution feature fit for this type of situation it seems. 
I understand funds can be delayed, however shouldnt they have to give a reason why or try to work with their customer.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX and this is not a Third Party Service!

The credit bureaus gave repeatedly and continuously abused me and my consumer rights! They have misled me, they have lied to me constantly, they have given me information that stalls and hinders the fraudulent information on my account. 

I have spoken to every representative from each of the bureaus and they have each told me different stories to attempt to hinder my FTC Report. I was told my XXXX to send in my FTC Report through fax with two forms of identification and a cover letter and after doing to was told my fax never came in. 

I was told by XXXX to send in my paperwork through the mail and they have told me that I needed to be more specific with information even after being as specific as I can be. 

Experian has blocked me from deleting fraudulent address that I have attached to my FTC Report stating that they wont delete it. 

These bureaus are following their own rules and not those laid out by the FCRA. I can not understand how the bureaus are continuing these misleading conversations and are ignoring the information provided and then stalling with sending letter saying that there are errors when there are none I am demanding that these fraudulent account be deleted XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX These accounts are fraudulent and damaging my life as I know it. The bureaus have taken advantage of me and are biding me by the credit bureaus that they serve. They are not for the consumer but instead are ran but the creditors and will display any information they want them to even if fraudulent as in my case.

Complaint narrative:
When I reviewed my credit report, I discovered that some of the information was erroneous. I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to update the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not update the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the Dispute Letter they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the Dispute Letter ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients.

Im submitting a complaint to you today to inform you I was the victim of identity theft. I was going through my credit file & noticed many files which do not belong to me.

I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the account.
