Issue: Other service problem — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On Sunday XX/XX/XXXX morning I recieved an email from Venmo that my account has been frozen and that I need to verify my identity. I called venmo customer service to find out why was my account closed. I didn't do anything wrong. They were not able to tell me anything except to send a copy of my ID to verify myself. Well I did just that on XXXX  and recieved an email back stating that they were going to permanently close my account and keep my money for up to 180 days. I'm a single mother of 4 and ALL my money is on that card. I can't pay rent, car insurance or anything now. I called Venmo again and this time asked to speak to a supervisor. Speaking to him he was not much hel. He couldn't tell me anything except that the analyst specialist is the ones who do and work with the closing accounts and stuff. I nicely asked for a phone number so I can speak with someone there then. To which I was told they do not have a phone number that I would have to reply to the email and they will respond. I did just that and asked for them to explain to me why they closed my account. Then I was told that they could not tell me that do to privacy etc. But it's MY account. MY money. I've never had this problem with XXXX  like I do with venmo. And for them to keep MY money for up to 6 months is ridiculous.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have been wanting to make targeted payments toward my student loans, and my goal is to target payments toward loans with higher interest. However, that information is not available because there is not currently interest accumulating due to the COVID forbearance. I contacted FedLoan to obtain this information. The customer service provider could only provide this information verbally. She did indicate that a breakdown could be generated and uploaded to my portal. This has not happened, and instead, I was provided letters of update regarding PSLF, which doesnt apply to me. Further, one can not obtain a historical breakdown of payments or accumulated interest over time. 

Being that I was provided interest information verbally, I felt I had adequate information to make a payment. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment through the Fedloan online portal. I targeted two different loans and paid the entire loan amount listed. 

I paid one loan in the amount of XXXX and another for XXXX. My payment breakdown states : XXXX went to principle and XXXX toward interest on loan 1 ; and XXXX toward principle and XXXX toward interest on loan 2. 

Currently, FedLoan is stating these two loans are not actually paid in full, as there is outstanding interest that is not factored into targeted payments. Considering there has not been any interest accumulation in two years, this is intentionally misleading. I also have a loan verification letter from XXXX of XXXX with the same amounts listed, that apparently, do not include interest. This letter was utilized so I could obtain a mortgage. 

Further, there is no messaging when making payments to FedLoan stating that information listed is not inclusive of interest. 

This process, the website, and the ability to understand amounts due is intentionally misleading and difficult. Attempting to pay back and manage student loan information continues to cause an amount of anxiety that is unnecessary. The amount of time, energy, and resources that I have put in to obtaining the correct information is beyond infuriating and is utterly nonsensical unless the goal is further burden those with debt. 

I have had 3 mortgages in my adult life, and several car loans. The information regarding repayment and interest is both clear and available. I can obtain a breakdown through the duration of the loan amount, interest amount, and how my payments are applied. How come student loans CONTINUE to be intentionally misleading and difficult??

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

Complaint narrative:
I hope this message finds you well. A couple of months I reviewed my credit profile and seen inaccurate information regarding an alleged collection ( collection name ). I find that strange since I don't recognize this account neither am I liable for it at all. Prior to submitting this complaint, I have sent over 3 letters to the Bureau to have them send the proper verification of this alleged collection. I have also sent out debt validation letters to the CREDITOR to VALIDATE this alleged account. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. NOT a refusal to pay but in accordance with my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act I am disputing this account and requesting a validation of debt. ( 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) ) I begged the creditors to Please provide me with the following information : 1. State what the money you say I owe is for 2. How did you come to determine that amount 3. Provide copies of agreements bearing my signature stating that I agreed to pay what you say I owe 4. Show me the proof that you are licensed to collect in my state ; provide your license number 5. Provide me with proof that the statute of limitations have not expired 6. A valid, legible copy of the agreement stating the debt and interest charges However, this unvalidated negative account is still impacting me

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2022 searched on XXXX gave a fraudulent website which I believe PayPal provides their customers. Only confirmation was PayPal email which seems official and was valid with my bank when I immediately disputed it because the PayPal customer service phone number is a menu that doesnt allow for any interaction with customers non-delivery of paid product and there was an email which was not PayPal customer service and was fraudulent. I am staying from PayPal because it is the largest scam in the United States and internationally where they fare better since most of their customers take a loss. Not only was there no confirmation that was valid with an ETA of the product and where it was coming from but there is zero communication for months and then two months later I receive a system generated email saying we can not help you with your issue of this charge due to your bank dispute which again was over seven weeks later with zero response from PayPal. This is incredibly dis concerning that a company with PayPals assets and operations is an out and out fraud. I already knew not to use it but this particular item there was no option to use your Credit card only so it went through PayPal
