Company: TransferWise Ltd

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I attempted a transfer from my US bank account to my XXXX one via Wise ( formerly Transferwise ) for an amount of {$680.00}. The transfer was not successful, and the platform does not have a customer service phone number, so I contacted my US bank to report the charge as unsuccessful. My US bank reclaimed the charge and I stopped using the platform. 

In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I received an email from the platform that I owed these funds because the transaction had gone through, and I owed them this money. I then went through the process of trying to send the money through XXXX ( another transfer app ). I tried this multiple times with no success, and maintained contact with Wise personnel, showing them this. They said I must transfer from a US banking app, however, my bank does not have an electronic transfer option, and I live abroad in the XXXX. 

I maintained contact with Wise until XX/XX/XXXX, sending the payment they asked for. Each time I was informed they had not received it, and when I asked for further details on the address of their company for the transfer, or another option of payment, they responded with the same information. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, they emailed me saying they had closed my account. Without an open account, it is impossible to contact the customer service, so I no longer had the option to communicate with personnel. 

Throughout XXXX I emailed the company trying to fix this payment issue, and I received a response saying they would respond in a few days. I would never get a response except to file a claim, which I also attempted to do. However nothing was possible, it would revert me back to the start page of the website or I needed to have an active account to receive assistance. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from Wise saying that their debt collection agency will be in touch in the next few days to claim this " overdue debt. '' I am writing to express my frustration to the way this was handled by the company, particularly if this debt collection agency charges high fees on the overdue payment. I will include screenshots of the emails, dates, and attempted payments for clarification.
