Complaint:
I contacted cashapp support with an issue that I needed help resolving due to not having reached a solution when trying to resolve the way that they had directed me to after having contacted them via chat. They asked me what the issue was and I had responded by letting them know that I had sent money to the wrong person in the amount of {$200.00} and they asked me to select the transaction that I needed assistance with. I did just that and they went on to respond with a list of information they needed from me ( full legal name of the person I meant to send the funds to originally, their cash tag, and their phone number and/or email ) which I quickly replied with the information requested just for them to answer back refusing to further assist me and gave me some tips on how to prevent the issue from happened again in the future. They had said they are unable to reverse the transaction or refund it and that the only step I can take to reach a proper solution is to send a refund request to the person I had accidentally sent the funds to. Well, I did just that and of course, that person declined my refund request for {$200.00}. Says a lot about that person 's character. Anyway, I proceeded to call cash app support by phone and I was asked the same questions and given the same responses which ended with me being denied having the funds reversed or refunded since its a completed payment. I know that it is not impossible for them to get my money back and to pull it from the persons account that it was accidentally sent to. So I asked to speak to a supervisor to further assist me and they kept me on hold for abojt XXXX minutes and told me there is no manager available and that I could have them forward me by email to a manager and they would contact me at their earliest convenience. Whatever that means... I then asked them why they couldn't reverse the funds and she told me she has provided me with all of the information there is to provide and that there is nothing else there is to tell me that could answer my question and then hung up on me. I went to the chat page for customer support and asked to have a manager contact me and was basically told that they have addressed the current issue and there is nothing else they can do. {$200.00} is a lot of money to just give away to someone that it's not meant for. That was all I had and I just have to accept that someone else received it and I'm out of pocket. That is not okay at all. I don't know how else to get the help k need so that I can get my funds back that I am entitled to. So this is my next attempt. I hope this will be my final attempt and be the answer I need to finally resolve this matter. Thank you for listening to my complaint.

This is against the FDCPA, as debt collectors are required to identify themselves when they attempt to collect a debt as well as note that any information you give them will be used to collect the debt.

Complaint:
My checking account was closed with citibank due to fraudulent on their end. But not sure how they came up with that. It was a honest mistake that I deposit an unemployment check that was previously deposited and it was returned. Not sure why they closed my account when I had all my direct deposit from my employer coming in. My account could have been in good standing just that they closed for no reason and put on hold all my available funds. Doesnt make sense

Complaint:
In XXXX XXXX received a notice form Barclay Bank of Delaware that my credit card was approved. I never applied for their credit card. I called their customer serivce and was told that there was no record of my account with them.

I disputed it with all XXXX credit bureaus, twice. I filed a police report for idently theft, which I sent to the credit bureaus and their fraud team. My credit report dropped significantly after being excellent for many years. They continued to send letters saying that they received the dispute but they had determined that it was my charge. One of the credit bureuas alerted me that a judgement had been filled against me by Barclay. I tried calling multiple court to get the details. I finally hired an attorney who sent them a letter in XXXX telilng them that it was idently theft. On XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter from them again stating that they had received the disputed but that they were correct and had placed a notice on my credit report. 
I am XXXX years and have always paid the bill which I actual owe on time. I have dealt with this for XXXX  months. I want this harassment to stop now!
