Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I reported Venmo in an earlier complaint. This company did NOT provide the requested info in the 15 allotted days.

This company is retaliating against me because they mishandled my IMMEDIATE report of fraud and my account being hacked into. They are claiming a false timeline of events. They did not reach out to the merchant upon my immediate report of my account being hacked into. They failed to assist me, and have treated me like the criminal and not the victim. 

I have requested a full data log on my account multiple times. I requested all actions they took to reach out to the merchant of the fraudulent charges. They have provided no such detail, only a false timeline of events which I have proven to them multiple times now that MY timeline is correct and time stamped. 

This company failed to jump on this criminal act and attempt ANYTHING to get my money back from the vendor. They have failed to give me any record of the phone call I made to them on the date that my account was hacked. 

They failed to provide me with the info I requested in my prior complaint to CFPB. I want this on public record that Venmo did nothing to protect me, and did not respond appropriately when I filed yet ANOTHER request for a thorough data log and proof of their attempt to reach the merchant the fraudulent charges were made to. 

This is an attempt to resolve this issue with Venmo before involving charges against them, as well as news media attention.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have been a Bank of America customer since 2021, and I havent been using my bank card frequently because I have been utilizing the wallet on my phone. Somehow, I was unaware that someone had hacked my account with a large fake check. I did not initiate this transaction, and I promptly contacted the bank to report the fraud. However, they informed me that they would be closing my account for five years. I emphasized that the fraudulent activity was not my doing, but I feel that the bank was unhelpful in resolving my issue. As a result, I am now facing a five-year restriction from opening a new bank account, despite my insistence that I was not responsible for the fraudulent activity.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I woke up to a negative balance of {$2400.00}. I called capital one bank to report the error and have them make a correction. They refused and they informed me that they had paid a check twice and I informed them that action is fraudulent and some type of embezzlement is being committed. The bank stated they paid the same check twice and they made this adjustment months later of the check being cashed back in XX/XX/XXXX. They said XXXX XXXX had the check and I informed them if they checked the back of the check it states it was already deposited to XXXX XXXX XXXX account and it was signed. No teller would accept a check already signed and stating it was deposited to a mobile account. They refused to listen said they would investigate and it takes 30 days. I informed them of the check 21 act and I also requested a special expedited re-credit while they investigate the issue as stated by federal regulations for banking. They did not want to assist me any further. I believe XXXX XXXX is responsible for any losses from a double presentment and my bank is refusing to assist to help another banking institution in a matter I had no involvement.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this as a follow up correspondence to Citi Bank regarding my Citibank accounts. I have attached documents showing that I have been charged interest since last year even though I reported fraudulent transactions on both of my accounts. While some of these transactions have been refunded, there are still many that haven't and as a result, I am continuously being charged interest and fees on my account. I have patiently been waiting for these refunds and now I am requesting for my account to be discharged and reset. I have already paid thousands of dollars in interest and it has been difficult to keep track of what I have lost in payments. Therefore, I am kindly asking for the account to be reset to a XXXX balance. Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased fishing tackle from XXXX and soon after XXXX sent me a bill for the import duties/tariff. I paid the bill in full but then was sent to collections. XXXX and the collections company said I did not pay. I sent them proof of the payment with the deposited check, electronic proof of the deposited check, but they keep saying I'm not providing proof in a special format through XXXX. I don't know how to use XXXX and have asked for their assistance, but they give none. They keep telling me I have to send it in this special format but I refuse since I don't know how. They give no instructions and I don't think I have to follow their arbitrary rules. I showed proof the payment had already been made and that should be sufficient.
