Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: During week of XX/XX/XXXX I contacted my bank, Synchrony, about the process to do a wire transfer. They said my account was " diamond '' level and I get 3 free wire transfers a month. They also said i needed to get specific wire instructions from the receiving bank, address and phone number, etc. I contacted the individual I was going to be wiring funds for a truck I wanted to purchase. He gave me the info. I called the bank, they then told me i needed entirely different info. I got that info then on XX/XX/XXXX I contacted my bank that has my savings account to do a wire transfer for a truck i want to buy and they told me i didnt need any of the info the previous two people told me i did and that I just needed the name and address of the individual I was wiring funds. I gave them the info and had them wire XXXX to their account for the truck. I don't hear anything from the bank and followed up with the individual to see if the wire went through, he said it didn't. I logged into my account to see if it had any info there and I was greeted with the message that ALL my accounts were restricted. I call the bank to find out XXXX is going on. They say my accounts are " in review '' then try to say they think its fraud but there have been no attempts to access my account from outside the country or anything that can be misconstrued as fraud other than apparently me wanting to use my money. They say it could take up to 60 days!!!!! to review my account. I am beyond livid at this point. I tell them to cancel the wire and that I'm going to close ALL my accounts. They say i can't do XXXX and have to wait for their " review '' to complete. I have them escalate. I call back the next week. They give me the same XXXX excuse they are investigating, i have them " escalate '' again which is clearly a XXXX process that doesn't exist, they say it should be a few more days, called again Wed XXXX and Friday XXXX, same XXXX. They have totally XXXX me. I had autopayments setup that are now failing, I have a bunch of late fees due to this and I can't even use my credit card now as they have locked it because the payment didn't go through. They have basically stolen ~ {$80000.00} from me with no explanation and apparently no accountability. I don't know if they are about to go XXXX up like that bank in california but it looks like im going to have to find an over seas bank to work with as US banks are so poorly regulated with XXXX regard for consumers.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I'm having issues with Paypal Credit and Synchrony Bank, processing my payments past the deadline date, two times in a row in XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. And it looks like they're going to post it late again for XX/XX/2023. I've called in both previous instances and they reported each time that I filed a claim that the payment was received on time. And it's a delay on their end for processing payments. And try to blame the post office and says that it's not the same since covid. Covid has nothing to do with their failure of processing. And I have a track record of making timely payments with PayPal. However, I sent the payment in XXXX for a payment this month in XXXX. And it isn't showing as payment received yet. I'm done with filing claims and ask for CFPB assistance to figure out what's going on?

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2023 I purchased an XXXX XXXX XXXX receiver from XXXX for {$270.00} and paid for the item on my PayPal Credit account and received the item on Friday XX/XX/2023. I setup the receiver and begin the installation process. Almost immediately I encountered a installation software problem which caused the software to go into a software loop. I was able to find a work around this issue. I contacted the seller and informed them of this issue. I was able to continue the installation process which continued over into the weekend and ran into other non-functional operational issues which displayed Coming Soon. On Sunday XX/XX/2023 I decided to return the item for a refund due to the number of non-operational issues. I drafted a note Exhibit 1 regarding the return. I called and left a voicemail for the XXXX support people regarding the return and informed them I had contacted PayPal and filed a dispute. **Regarding this dispute from PayPal , part of the process was to select a category that identified the problem with the item being returned. There was only ONE selection available that came CLOSE to identifying the issues with the item, that was Product Not As Described. Not exactly the truth however, the closest. The item did perform minimally. On XX/XX/2023 I received a RMA USPS sticker for the return item and I affixed it and immediately took the package to the Post Office and waited for delivery to the seller USPS receipt and Tracking report attached Exhibit 2. The item was received by the seller at their office on XX/XX/2023 at XXXX. The seller convinced me that my decision to go the PayPal dispute route was a mistake, also adding 60-75 days to the process, coupled with the fact that they immediately sent out the RMA sticker for return convinced me to close the PayPal dispute , which I did. The seller got his money from XXXX/PayPal. After that when I contacted PayPal or the seller all I heard was {$15.00} charge deducted, or XXXX or PayPal wont release monies because I had to file a 2nd dispute to get money back. Summary : The seller received the item back on XX/XX/2023 in perfect condition. The seller has the {$270.00} I paid for the item. PayPal or XXXX, Im told wont release my money. I have tons of documentation to validate all my claims. If you need anything documentation wise, please let me know. Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX
