Consumer complaint received 2022-05-31 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Capital One has closed the account claiming : We are closing this account because activity on this or another account is not consistent with our expectations for account usage and violates the Capital One Customer Agreement. ( see letter attached ) The activity on the account is not in violation, and payment history is perfect on the account as reflected by Capital one on all of my credit reports. Self creating a reason to close this account that is current and in good standing and in no way in violation of their own terms is discriminatory and has had a adverse effect on my credit and my co-users credit. This is a unfair practice by capital one who originally offered this card to me as a way to rebuild credit. After denying me a Car loan after providing me a pre-approval, after accepting another car loan from a different source, all of a sudden, now Capital one has closed my Credit Card account. I believe this is retaliation. I request that Capital one disclose the exact reason for closing this account and actually spell out the violation, or re-open this account, as I said I have made no violations of our agreement, Captial one is the party in violation.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I had an adjusted balance due on my Amex Gold card of {$2000.00} due on XX/XX/2022. I payed {$2000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I forgot to pay the remaining {$24.00} till XX/XX/XXXX, but paid it as soon as a remembered. I was charged a late fee of {$29.00} posted XX/XX/XXXX, but it did not show up in my account to me till XX/XX/XXXX. I asked for a refund based on my past payment history and because it was only one day late, but was denied through the Amex Chat. Since the {$24.00} was not going to be pulled from my bank account till XX/XX/XXXX anyway because of the XXXX XXXX holiday, charging a late fee, especially one that is larger than the remaining balance, for this payment seems unnecessary. Additionally, when I asked if this would be reported to credit agencies, I was told I would have to call a separate group, that it could not be answered in the customer service chat.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Unexpected or other fees — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/31 I received a payment via Venmo from XXXX XXXX. He mistakenly selected the purchase a product transaction type which is shown very prominently by Venmo in their app payment process. 

As a result, instead of receiving the full amount I received a lower amount as fees were deducted automatically under the assumption that the payment was for a business purchase. 

I would expect that to be able to correct this error I would be able to issue a full refund of the amount paid ( including the fee ) to the person making the payment. However, after contacting Venmo they were not able to offer this option. There is no way for me to refund the full amount including fee so the sender of the money can easily correct this very simple mistake. So Venmo is keeping the fee, even if this transaction was clearly in error and I as the RECEIVER of the money would like to reverse the transaction. 

The prominence and color of the send payment for purchase button in this process is misleading in that it strongly encourages users to choose it - even when the payment is not for a business. Even when a payment is made ( in error ) there is no easy way for the parties to correct this mistake.
