Company: Block, Inc. (OH)

- CashApp is the name of the service.

- They offer " Boosts '' which are basically deals on their account that take a percentage off a certain merchant.

- The Boost/deal I applied to my account says in the terms ( see attachment ) that it can be used every day. 
- The deal mentions XXXX 's XXXX online purchases using the Cash App card get 10 % off up to {$20.00} off and the deal can be done for multiple days, every day. 
- I did this deal on Monday and it went through okay and cash app credited me back 10 % of my purchase. 
- On Tuesday, I went to do this deal again because it says it can be done every day. 
- Before I did the deal again on Tuesday, I messaged their chat support PRIOR to doing the deal to ask if " Every day '' is considered 1 time per calendar day -or- once every 24 hours. 
- The chat agent told me to " just read the terms '' and nothing else. So I read the terms and they said, " Every day. '' - I tried to use the deal for the 10 % off on XXXX. I spent {$200.00} and expected to get {$20.00} back ( 10 % off ), but I was denied that 10 % off, yet the transaction went through at full price. I messaged the CashApp customer service through their chat feature, but they told me they would not honor the 10 % off or credit my account. 
- If a doctor tells me to take a pill every day, I will take a pill every day. If a doctor tells me to take a pill every 12 hours, I will take it every 12 hours. So how does Cash App believe their terms are true?

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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OH)

Tried to get XXXX and Equifax credit reports through XXXX. The reports appeared but the session expired before I could print them, and when I tried to see them again ( within a couple of hours ) the system said I had to get them by mail, and could only get them if I provided a pay stub, a copy of my social security card, and a XXXX form. This does n't make sense since I did not have to provide those to see the report online. However, it said I would be able to access the reports for 30 days online, and I ca n't. So now I have used up my XXXX free annual report request with them but I do not have access to the reports.

This debt collector has engaged in practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have reported an account that I did not consent to, and there is no signed agreement from me authorizing it. A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.

Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (VA)

My issue is with American Express and their illegal practices on an account that originally opened in XXXX as a Basic Green Charge Card with no limit. I maintained the account with excellent repayment history. Thus, excelling to both Gold and Platinum status subject to paying yearly fees as a Member. 

In XXXX, when the market crashed. American Express reached out to me and asked me to summit Earnings, Profit and Loss Statement on a recorded line. I refused to do so and shortly thereafter out of retaliation they suspended my account and forfeited my XXXX points equal to {$1.00} spent. So {$150000.00} spent to earn this point status. American Express breached the agreement as there was nothing in the agreement that said that I needed to submit a Earnings Profit and Loss statement to maintain my account and if I failed to do so my account would be cancelled and the points would be forfeited. 

The account was in excellent standing with no late payments. And they constantly changed the rates because a carried a balance on the credit side of the card. So I was subject to outrageous fees. I continued to pay them but missed the benefits of using my card and most importantly using the points that I rightfully earned. 

In XXXX, I started being told by American Express that I was no longer financial responsible for paying the account due to a law suit. I continued to pay upto XXXX and noticed that they had deleted my account from my credit report. It was at that point I stopped paying and realized that whatever happened int he lawsuit I was no longer responsible. In XXXX I applied for a XXXX XXXX and was approved. Shortly, after I received the card. Oddly American Express started reporting the deleted account back on my credit report as CHARGE OFF! damaging then my XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I am more than disappointed with American Express as I feel very discriminated against and a target for their loss with the market crashed on XXXX. They had a wonderful paying customer who paid on time. They stole my points from me in which I was entitled to. And then at XXXX balance they told me I did not need to pay any longer. I would have rather them give me my card status back and make the balance XXXX in exchange for the wrongful forfeiture of my hard earned points and the outrageous money they made off me from their high interest rates, and member fees far exceeded their so called {$15000.00} charge off which is fraudulent. I am very certain your company is aware of similar matters with American Express. I simply want justice before engaging an attorney.
