Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX Paypal Credit took without my authorization or consent {$170.00} out of my bank account. They then refused to return this money. They gave me the run around, refused to let me speak to a human being, and refused to return the money they had illegally and without my permission and consent stolen from my bank account. They have now removed this payment from my credit debit while also not returning it to me. When i called they claim it was a " glich '' and that it is not in any way illegeal for Paypal Credit to take money from my account without my permission or consent. That they can and will take money without my permission when ever they want to. I asked to see where i agreed to this and they hung up on me. Will you help me understand why it would be legal for a company to steal money from my bank account without consequences? Can you help me get my {$170.00} dollars back. Can you tell me what government agency enforces the laws preventing unauthorized access to personal bank accounts by credit card companies? Why would a corporation be given license to steal?

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed this company and asked that they send the consumer a LEGAL BINDING CONTRACT that has both legible signatures ( from myself and the company entity stating that there is a contractual agreement between both parties. What the consumer received was anything but. The consumer specifically asks for the entity to produce legalities that the alleged account indeed belongs to the consumer. Yet they have chosen over and over again to send the consumer what they feel is needed, which is UNACCEPTABLE. This game that the company is playing should be pointed out that if they are unable to produce the legality of the alleged account then the account should be REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. THE COMPANY IS CONSISTENTLY VIOLATING LAWS. I will upload the latest letter that was sent to the consumer about the matter.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Team, I recently fell a bad victim of a really bad crypto scam. I lost $ XXXX in this scam and Im really devastated. I couldnt spot the red flags because the website seemed really legitimate and I thought the person is really helping me with the real profit. It was a Ponzo scheme. Here is the link to the fake website : XXXX XXXX XXXX  My funds sent to XXXX were part of a cryptocurrency scam.I found out I was scammed 5 days ago when I was unable to withdraw my funds. After several days of investigation, I found evidence indicating the platform is a scam, along with other victims who had similar experiences. I tracked the downstream wallet, which was reported multiple times for fraud. XXXX ignored the fraud reports and did not do anything to investigate and/or freeze the fraud wallet. I have reached out to XXXX for assistance but they did not claim any responsibility. I did not receive the service or protection that was promised or described by them in fact they have a big loophole that enables scam platforms to launder money and steal funds from customers. They are complicit in fraudulent practices and did not have any safety precautions in place to protect myself and others from similar scams. 
My funds sent to them from my account should be investigated and refunded from them. I need assistance at this difficult time. My police case is in progress as well. Thanks

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, {$460.00} was fraudulently transferred out of my checking account by Venmo. The unauthorized transfer was to a vendor I hadn't used in over a year. After reporting the incident to Venmo, they froze my account, which prevented the vendor from sending the funds back to me. Although Venmo recovered the funds from the vendor, they have kept my account in a suspended/frozen status, and they will not permit me to transfer the funds back to my checking account. I've contacted them several times by e-mail and phone. They are insisting I send a photo of a Govt ID and a " selfie ''. I have told them I will not provide them with additional personally identifying information as their platform is obviously not secure. This type of information can facilitate additional fraudulent activity. I want them to unfreeze my account so that I can transfer my funds back to my checking account and permanently close this Venmo account.
