Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
OnXX/XX/XXXX I received an email alert from Wells Fargo that my checking account balance had fallen below XXXX  and was now XXXX, previous balance had been XXXX. This represented a XXXX dollar transaction! I immediately went online and found that a withdrawal of XXXX was posted to my account as a " XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. I do not have any bad debts with Wells Fargo and there is no indication as to where this money went - or to whom.

I immediately called Wells to report the transaction as fraudulent and was told to call back later. I called again and was told Wells would investigate and follow up with me in a couple of days.

I did not authorize this transaction and have no way to tell where this money went. Given the past well-documented problems Wells has had in the recent past with this sort of problem, I am not confidant I will ever see this money again. 

Please contact Wells Fargo Fraud division and help me get satisfaction.

Complaint narrative:
I opened an American Express credit card in XX/XX/XXXX, I made the payments monthly sometimes twice a month. In XX/XX/XXXX my mother XXXX, I was unemployed, I contacted the company and made every effort to pay but could n't. During this time, the company assured me that I had insurance for the card and that this insurance could cover the payments until I was able to find a job. Subsequently, the account went into charge off status and to this day, even though the card was in this status American Express continues to put on my credit report monthly that my account is late, even though the account is closed and in charge off status. This has also prevented me from refinancing my student loans which has extremely high monthly payments.

Company: Netspend Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Netspend ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) sent me an UNSOLICITED prepaid debit card. Since I have had problems with someone attempting identity theft before this greatly concerned me. 

When I called the company they requested either the full card number or my social security number ( which I would NEVER give over the phone ). I was afraid to give them the full card number because I was afraid they would activate it. 

In very small print ( 5point or less ) they state that this was not requested by anyone but was sent because " you indicated interest in receiving offers similar to this one ''. 

Sending unsolicited credit cards is against the law. Apparently, since debit cards and prepaid debit cards were not available when the law was passed this allows companies to skirt the law. I believe this is unethical and irresponsible in the age of identity theft!

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I could not find the actually problem I am having on the list of problems. I am having a problem with their automated dialer dialing me sometimes up to 8 times a day. One or 2 calls a day with a voicemail would be suffice to let me know I missed my payment. In this case it was an accident, I forgot to log on and make the payment and although I am glad they reached out to me to let me know I owed them still, I am very unhappy that I recieved 8 phone calls withing a 24 hour period and when I did get home from work and was able to answer the XXXX phone call they hung up without an explanation. I consider this harassment. Edit : While typing this out I went to log back into my account. They had removed my phone number from the system. So now I can not log into my online account without adding my phone number back onto the account. This in turns gives them permission to call me. I am sure they removed the number after I complained about the number of phone calls I had received. Seeing that I have paperless billing with them and can only pay my bill online I now feel like I am being forced to accept them calling me every 3 hours in order to be able to use the card, or to pay it.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My customer filed a claim with his credit card for item not delivered a few hours before the item arrived then promptly retracted it when the product showed up later that day. The buyer and his credit card company have been open and honest in their attempts to resolve the situation and complete payment. They require a phone call from paypal that paypal still has n't done. Paypal opened a case, levied fees against my seller account, and put the money from the transaction on hold " while they investigated ''. Later, I started getting collections emails from paypal regarding this case. They threatened to send the entire amount to collections against me, the seller, if I did not provide money for them to hold " while they investigated ''. Their agents on the phone reiterated that they could not solve the problem in any other way than for me to pay to cover the full amount on hold. I have obtained copies of the buyer 's credit card statements showing where he was initially charged for the item ( {$6600.00} ), then was refunded, then charged again on XX/XX/XXXX. I have spoken with XXXX XXXX on the phone and they confirm that they have both charged my customer and rendered payment to paypal over a month ago on XX/XX/XXXX. It has been 45 days since paypal was paid by XXXX XXXX and two weeks since I put {$6600.00} on my credit card to avoid having a bill in collections despite the fact that the case was still, somehow, undecided, despite the buyer agreeing that he received his items. As near as I can tell, paypal is holding both my {$6600.00} and my customer 's {$6600.00}, and has been holding it for weeks while failing to answer my questions on the phone or give any real indications that the case is moving anywhere. They have threatened me with collections and reporting this to credit bureaus to pressure me into paying a bill that they have already been paid for. This callous double billing and holding of funds is consistent with the worst practices of reprehensible companies. I 've attached copies of the customer 's credit card statement to prove that he has paid and that his CC company has rendered payment to paypal.

Company: Netspend Corporation

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX XXXX XXXX son received a NetSpend prepaid debit card. I 'm not certain how this ended up being mailed to him. He is not able to enter into a contract and should not have been issued a card. 

I contacted Netspend on X/XX/2017. The automated voice system does not give the consumer an option to speak with a live representative. If you select cancel the card as your phone option, you are placed on what seems to be an unending hold. 

I want this card removed from their system. I do not want my XXXX XXXX XXXX son 's information sold to other companies any purpose. The company should not be contacting minors in an effort to solicit their business and get them hooked on prepaid cards. This never should have happened without my direct authorization. 

Sending a card to a minor is egregious behavior. 

Netspend. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TXXXXX This should not be permitted to happen to my child nor anyone else 's child. 

Netspend should stop marketing to and soliciting of minors.

Company: Pinnacle Credit Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a collection item by Pinnacle Credit Services, receive a email from XXXX and XXXX that they verified the debt. So I asked them to provide me with a copy of the information they used or that they had on file to validate this collection to this day they have not provided this information or removed this item from my credit report. Pinnacle on the other hand sent me a copy of an account summary report ( this is not what I asked them for ) I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original contract that I signed with them proving that I owed them the {$290.00} debt they have as a collection item on my credit report. I still have not received that information from them. 

As I understand the law once the original creditor receives a charge-off they forfeit all rights to collect that debt and no third party can assume the role of the original creditor.
