Consumer complaint received 2024-06-08 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Confusing or misleading advertising or marketing
Company: AC AutoPay LLC, Denver, CO Branch
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Autopay advertises through XXXX XXXX, which targets advertisements based on my credit profile. I have super prime level credit profile. They advertise multiple rates and terms, and tell you your likelihood of success. 

I chose to apply for their XXXX % loan at a XXXX  month term, which they said I had very good approval chances. 

I was subsequently informed I was approved for the loan, only to discover later that the rate was not as advertised XXXX XXXX % on a XXXX  month term. When I asked about the XXXX  % I applied for, the rep, on a recorded line, informed me I cant control what marketing does as if they know they are advertising these low rates but dont have them. So I asked for clarification- did I not qualify for that rate, or does it not exist? She confirmed, they dont have rates that low. The lowest rate they have to offer is the XXXX % for the XXXX  month term. 

She confirmed this in writing via text message. 

So, my chances for approval for the XXXX % on a XXXX  month term was not very good- it was instead non-existent. 

They are STILL marketing the XXXX  % rate on credit karma to me. 

This is extremely deceptive. I want either the rate offered, or the inquiry removed from my credit report as the authorization was obtained under false pretenses. 

How does this get past compliance?!

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against PayPal for permanently banning my account without providing a valid reason. My account was limited on XX/XX/year>, despite the fact that I have not violated any terms of the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). 

PayPal has restricted my account with no explanation or evidence of any wrongdoing on my part. I have reviewed the XXXX  thoroughly and am confident that I have not engaged in any prohibited activities. PayPal has failed to communicate the specific reasons for the account limitation, and does not provide a pathway to receive anything other than generic responses. 

I use PayPal for completely legitimate purposes, primarily receiving money from online freelance and survey platforms like Prolific and DScout. It is a necessary intermediary for me to be able to earn and transfer to my bank account, and this account closure is causing my personal hardship. PayPal is also unrightfully holding funds that are present in the account for what it says will be XXXX days. 

I request that PayPal immediately lift the limitations on my account and release my funds. Furthermore, I seek a detailed explanation for the actions taken against my account, along with a review of the decision to ensure it complies with PayPals policies and regulations. I request systematic action taken on PayPal 's side to reduce what appears to be an epidemic of unjustified bans.
