Company: TransferWise Ltd

Complaint narrative:
My account with Wise was closed abruptly on or before XX/XX/2023. In doing so they are preventing me from helping and supporting friends and family abroad. They did not give me a valid reason nor the opportunity to defend the use of my account. This is unprofessional and done without concern or care for me as the customer. It is not a crime to help and support individuals that are less fortunate. 

I am very disappointed and dissatisfied with the decision. I would like to have my account teopened. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

We refused the order and asked that the grill be delivered assembled as initially requested. The representative said he would speak to his manager and see if we could receive the grill the next day or day after. He called back and said the grill should be delivered in a few days. We had an event planned for XX/XX/XXXX and wasnt able to facilitate is since we had nothing to prepare food on. Finally on XX/XX/XXXX they called and said they would be delivering an assembled grill.

A bill without any form of verification does not validate the debt and anybody can send a bill and say its mines. According to the FCRA ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) has completely violated my rights as a consumer and I'm requesting legal action to remove this account expeditiously.
