Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Hello. I rarely use international transfers, I used XXXX and XXXX XXXX without any problems. On XX/XX/21 I made a {$3600.00} transaction in XXXX to my son from my bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX via XXXX XXXX. In XXXX, because of the covid protocol, there were restrictions in the work of the XXXX XXXX, then they did not have a sufficient amount (! ), then they said that there were some problems with the transaction. I called XXXX XXXX to confirm the transaction onXX/XX/21, but they just transferred the money back to me. Okay, I went to XXXX XXXX located at XXXX store in XXXX TX. There I was told that they did not have the entire amount (! ) And I had to go to the other store. I tried to convince them that I do not need money and I want to send the entire amount to XXXX again. I said that they shouldn't give me the money, they would just forward the transaction. But they refused and said that it looks like a scam!!! A few days later, about two weeks ago, in XXXX XXXX located in XXXX XXXX TX, I asked to resend money to my son again. The employee tried several times but without result. Then she returned the entire amount of {$3600.00} + sending fee to me and tried to do the whole process from the beginning. She didn't succeed ... She advised to try again in a few days. But I got the idea! I have an account in Venmo, but the custom service told me they do not make international transactions and advised PayPal. Oh PayPal! A huge company! They can help me! I opened an account, confirmed my identification and the identification of my bank. My son in XXXX did the same. XX/XX/21 I tried to make a transaction : {$3600.00}, {$1800.00}, {$360.00}, {$180.00} but only {$18.00} succeeded. I thought because I'm a new client, my account has restrictions or a limit. But PayPal custom service reported that my account is transparent/clear and does not have any restrictions or limitation. But they see that my transactions do not go through the XXXX XXXX XXXX. What is the reason for this they do not know and advise me to try it in 48 hours and my son should make a payment request. We did it. My son made a request and I waited 62 hours. As you already understood, I could not make a transaction today... This is money for my son for a wedding and this is the my first gift for this. This is a transaction from a legal person to a legal person, from a legal bank to a legal bank, from legal money received from legal work! My son and I do not have any criminal or financial problems and I hope this is some kind of mistake and can be easily fixed! 
Sorry for the long post, but I tried to make a complete picture. 
Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX, I contacted Ally Financial so I can voluntarily surrender my vehicle and my wife 's vehicle because I was on XXXX XXXX orders and I was also the only one working. In addition, I explained that we have XXXX kids, but that my wife and I took into our home an additional XXXX children from family members because they were basically homeless and were not attending school. The surrender of the vehicles immediately added more than {$1100.00} per month ( from car payments, insurance, fuel, and maintenance ) back into the budget and helped ease the burden of the increase in family. My wife used to work from home as a customer service rep, but was let go by the company because customers started complaining about all the noise in the background ( this was before COVID-19, so kids bickering in the background was not as acceptable as it is today ). 

My complaint is that Ally Financial took the two cars back, and just like most auto finance companies, most likely sold them at auction, used one of their " sister '' agencies to buy the car back ( for pennies on the dollar ) to put it back on the market for reselling, and wrote off the remaining balance when they did their taxes. And for the last three years, Ally has been reporting to the credit bureaus an outstanding balance that WE ALL KNOW was satisfied back in XXXX when they wrote it off in their taxes. 

So, my question is this : 1. Is the SCRA really protecting Servicemembers when credit companies can easily bypass the SCRA and go after Servicemembers to collect a debt they have already got compensated for, either directly ( through a tax write-off ) or indirectly by using a third-party " sister '' agency to buy back repossessed property for pennies on the dollar, selling it for more profit, and then trying to DOUBLE DIP by reporting to the credit bureaus an arbitrary balance that no longer exists, in an attempt to intimidate Servicemembers to pay for a balance that was written-off and the property resold for a bigger profit?

2. How many Servicemembers ( and consumers ) are being screwed this way?

3. Are there any lawyers out there that would be interested in starting an inquiry to see how many credit companies are practicing these tactics, and whether there are grounds for a class-action lawsuit?

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report, To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. II feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

I do not believe XXXX dollars for XXXX and XXXX for Chase Bank is unreasonable, I have lost a lot more than that, I now have had to start paying back the loan that I took out for employment and move. This is so disgusting ; it is horrible how insured banks can destroy a person 's livelihood overnight.
