Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

On or about XXXX Wells Fargo Bank accused me of suspicion of check kiting and froze my checking account. A few years later I discovered the contents of my safe deposit box was sent to California 's unclaimed property department and auctioned off. I received a check for about {$3.00} representing the balance of the auction proceeds after WFB deducted several hundred dollars for drilling the box and shipping it to XXXX. I went to the branch of WFB that had my box. They told me that they didn't know how to contact me and subsequently declared my box abandoned. On or about XX/XX/XXXX I received a check from WFB for {$160.00} and a letter explaining that WFB had made an error when they accused me of check kiting. Receiving a letter from WFB twenty years later proved that they did know how to notify me back in XXXX. 
The {$160.00} was the balance in my checking account when they froze my account over twenty years earlier. I called them and said that this was insufficient compensation. They consequently sent me another check for {$500.00}. I have not chased either check. I told them I want to be compensated for the loss of the contents of my safe deposit box. It contained my father 's WWII war mementos, my childhood coin collection and other valuables. Although the statute of limitations my have eliminated a cause of action concerning my safe deposit box, I only discovered WFB had kept the balance of my checking account and did not apply this toward my box rental fees of {$8.00} a year per contract with WFB when they sent me the letter with a check. Therefore, I believe I have a cause of action with WFB based on this recent discovery.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unl
ess the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Unexpected or other fees — 
Company: Block, Inc. (TX)

Over the weekend, a friend tried to send me {$300.00}. I was contacted by Cashapp that I would have to pay a {$100.00} XXXX  fee in order to receive the money. My contact is at this email address ( Cash App XXXX ). 

I paid the fee as instructed. However, then they came back and asked for an additional fee of {$77.00}. which was accepted and which I provided a receipt just as I did for the previous {$100.00} payment. even with a copy of the receipt, your folks said hey did not have it and demanded I repay this amount. which I did again. 

As soon as that fee was paid, they then said I owed another {$280.00} fee as a XXXX  fee. As you can see, I was now being asked to pay fees in excess of the amount that was being sent to me. Meanwhile, the app locked up on me and I could no longer load the app with money to pay this additional fee. 

Since the app was locked up I was then instructed to pay via XXXX. I first paid {$280.00} for this XXXX  fee through XXXX giving them a receipt. they denied receiving it. and demanded that I pay an additional {$250.00} through XXXX. I paid this as well providing a receipt. I was told the XXXX team could not find or handle this money. 

They did unlock Cashapp, I loaded cash into that last night and paid the additional XXXX  fee. They came back his morning and wanted another {$790.00} I refuse to pay any more. Supposedly they are working on it. However, it has been 3 days and I have seen no results. For clarity, this is the amount of fees I have paid thus far. 

Fees paid to Cashapp to receive {$300.00} sent to me by a friend. 

XXXX XXXX Fee : {$100.00} XXXX fee : {$77.00} XXXX ( 2nd ) : {$77.00} PVC Fee : {$280.00} From XXXX : PVC Fee : {$280.00} PVC Fee : {$250.00} Total : {$1000.00} So now I have spent in excess of XXXX times the amount being paid to me just to get the money being sent. 

I have talked to my attorney. This is fraud. You are my first step. I will also be notifying the company of my actions. 

I need this to be resolved. 

Thank you, XXXX I do have my email trail
