Company: Block, Inc.
State: GA
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Confusing or missing disclosures

Complaint:
This platform allowed me to spent my whole wallet balance on purchasing XXXX, in a few clicks, very simple. 

After I bought it, I attempted to withdraw it, that's when it got complicated ( of course ). An ID verification window prompted. It said that for safety reasons I had to verify my identity. Good, I'm ok with that. Then, a second screen comes with a set of options for ID, all with XXXX thing in common : any type of government ID must be an XXXX ID. I'm not in possession of any XXXX ID, so I tried with the ones I have, passport and driver 's license from a different country. It didn't work. 

I reached out to their support and they keep telling me that I have to use an XXXX ID, and I keep explaining that I don't have one. 

XXXX of them suggested me to just sell the XXXX there, so I'd get my USD in the wallet, which I can use freely without ID verification, as I've been doing for the last XXXX or 3 years. However, it means that I'd have to pay them again their fee and commission, which I did earlier when buying, and now forced to do it when selling. This is the most unfair solution they could provide me with. 

I was not warned about these strict policies before buying the XXXX. Why would they be so strict about moving the XXXX but so friendly when purchasing it? To take advantage of clients? 
There were no policies nor Terms for me to accept when I first entered the XXXX interface of this platform. Nothing prompted out when I was buying telling me about ID verification process, much less that they will only consider valid an ID issue by the US government.

Please delete all complaints associated with this email and personal information below. You and the credit bureaus do nothing to help the normal citizens of this country. It is nothing but a waste of time, no one checks anything, follows up on anything because you dont care. Im sure if I was in this country illegally you would handle immediately and offer even more credit, insurance, phone, place to stay, etc. Im an American citizen and nothing has been done to help me. I will take a different approach and I promise you all will be exposed of how you do nothing but forward complaints back and forth and no one checks anything. Please erase me from your system. You guys are absolutely worthless!
