Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Unexpected Permanent Limitation Imposed on PayPal Account I am writing to file a complaint regarding a recent unexpected issue with my PayPal account, which I have used dutifully and in adherence to all stated guidelines for a significant period of time. This issue surfaced on XX/XX/2023, when my account was abruptly flagged and consequently limited without an explicit justification. 

My usage of PayPal has predominantly been for online shopping purposes and for enabling monetary transactions between acquaintances. Throughout my experience with PayPal, I have maintained an utmost commitment to ensuring that all transactions conducted through my account are entirely legitimate, and to the best of my knowledge, do not violate the Acceptable Use Policy as laid out by PayPal. 

Despite my consistent compliance with all requirements and guidelines, I was taken aback to receive a notification informing me of a revocation of my account privileges. The notification, unfortunately, did not provide any specific information or details about the reason behind such a significant action taken against my account. Consequently, the grounds on which my account has been limited are still unclear to me, leading to substantial inconvenience and concern. 

Given my historical usage and adherence to PayPal 's policies, I am led to believe that this could potentially be a result of an unintentional error. I trust that this issue will be addressed promptly and my account will be reinstated at the earliest convenience, considering the severe implications it holds for my routine financial transactions. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly anticipate a resolution that reinstates my access to PayPal 's services.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Earlier this month, I received a letter from Linebarger Gotham Blair and Sampson LLP saying that I owed {$91.00} for a single unpaid toll. The original toll amount was {$4.00} and was supposedly for a violation that took place in the state of Delaware on XX/XX/2022. 


The Linebarger firm has a history of fraudulently attempting to collect nonexistent debts in violation of various state laws, as alleged in multiple class action lawsuits and complaints submitted to the XXXX. I believe the letter sent to me was part of this pattern of deceptive business practices and that I am being billed for a sum I do not owe. 


I have paid every toll notice I have received from the state of Delaware.Crucially, responding to such notices is the only method for non-residents like myself to pay tolls amassed in Delaware since toll booths in the state are generally unmanned and both the portals for paying tolls, Delaware XXXX and DelDOT.gov, require a notice number to process payment. 


The letter from the Linebarger firm includes a notice number for the supposedly unpaid toll. However, when I attempted to look up the violation on the above websites, I received a message saying the notice number was not valid. Why would a firm attempting to collect a legitimate debt do so using bogus account information? 


I would attempt to contact the Linebarger firm directly, but it has a documented history of fraudulent behavior. And neither the letter the firm sent me nor the company 's website include a physical or email address where I can send written correspondence. Only a phone number is provided. Without a written record of our exchange, I have no way of proving what was said or wasn't said. That puts the consumer at an incredible disadvantage.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I received a text from Citibank credit cards stating that it was from their fraud department and they needed to speak to me about my account and shared a phone number to call. After calling their fraud department, they are somehow unable to verify my account using my phone number or email registered on the account and have to resort to sending me a letter through snail mail to validate I'm the owner of the account. I tried talking to a supervisor and calling back again but no one was able to help me verify my account through any other methods besides the snail mail letter. The letter can take up to 10 business days to arrive and in the meantime my credit card is locked and I can't use it to pay for important purchases.
