Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

Under the guidelines of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is stipulated in 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ) that consumer reporting agencies must carry out their duties with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumer privacy. XXXX XXXX is recognized as consumer reporting agencies, and I, as the consumer, have the fundamental right to safeguard my private information, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which mandates financial institutions to uphold customer privacy and safeguard their nonpublic personal information. Bank of America and XXXX XXXX XXXX being financial institutions, falls under this mandate. As per 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies can only furnish a consumer report with explicit written instructions from the consumer concerned. Neither Bank of America, XXXX XXXX XXXX nor the consumer reporting agency XXXX XXXX have my consent or written authorization to share this information. Any prior consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, or implied, is hereby revoked. Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) requires financial institutions to inform consumers of their right to opt out of information disclosures to third parties. Bank of America and XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to inform me of this right, violating the law. Moreover, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including certain adverse information in consumer reports without proper authorization, which they have done without my permission. Furthermore, according to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681e, it is unlawful to furnish inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies, and these agencies must maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations. As per 12 CFR 1016.7, consumers have the right to opt out of reporting services at any time, and I am choosing to exercise that right and opt out of the reporting services provided by these agencies. 

Lastly, per the Privacy Act of 1974 ) the term record means any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual that is maintained by an agency, including, but not limited to, his education, financial transactions, medical history, and criminal or employment history and that contains his name, or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual, such as a finger or voice print or a photograph ; this includes cosumer reports. No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains.

Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble getting information about the card
Company: Block, Inc. (NV)

On multiple occasions, I have had a hotel place a deposit hold on my account, but even after they finalize the transaction, Cash App continues to hold the funds and demands a letter detailing the transaction, on company letterhead. The falsely insist the merchant is the one holding the funds, when the merchant has blatantly finalized the transaction. In the instance of a merchant legally changing name ( or the XXXX XXXX in XXXX, NV became the XXXX XXXX - very publicly ) Cash App will not accept the letter due to the name difference. 

This is blatantly using excessive holds and misinformation so that Cash App can capitalize on the misheld funds to earn interest from the money it should have released. The expectation that consumers and merchants need to take hours out of their day to kowtow to Cash App 's requirements of a letter that states what has already happened with the transaction, all while lying to customers about who has those funds on hold, is absurd. 

My most recent transaction began XX/XX/ and Cash App is stating that the merchant has not finalized the transaction ( though they have completed the transaction ) and that the funds will be held until XXXX or later. In order to get the funds released at that point, I will again need to initiate a.suolort request and once.more.beg to be given access to my money. If I do not do so, they will hold it indefinitely. 

This is theft of income, as they are keeping the interest they earn from my money in their account, while deflecting the blame onto a merchant that has nothing to do with the hold on my money.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (FL)

I was displaced during Hurricane Ian and reached out to Discover for help as I lost my home, phone and computer so they shut off my automatic payments that I had in for 20 years straight and allowed me to skip two payments and when the next payment was due it was missed as the automatic payments were turned off ( by Discover ) and I was living in temporary housing so I did not get any mail to alert me that my payment was late and when I got back to into my home I was able to log into my account to see that another payment was missed which they never contacted me about and I immediately went back online to set up automatic payments and they refuse to remove the negative late payments off my account when I was living in a declared disaster area and didnt have normal access to manage my accounts and called them looking for help and now my credit score has dropped XXXX points by just being late on 2 payments but I was never late for over 20 years straight!

Account XXXX XXXX, XXXX, is inaccurately reporting on the credit reports associated with my social security number and violates my consumer rights as evidenced by the following information : There are several inconsistencies in this account on the credit report. Firstly, Equifax has not specified the account type in detail, unlike XXXX and XXXX. Secondly, the high credit reported by XXXX and XXXX is {$3700.00}, while Equifax reports it as {$3000.00}. Thirdly, the credit limit reported by XXXX and XXXX is {$3000.00}, but Equifax reports it as {$0.00}. 

These inconsistencies violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically the section that requires credit reporting agencies to provide accurate and complete information in credit reports. Under FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), credit reporting agencies are required to " follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information '' in a consumer 's credit report. The inconsistencies in this account information suggest that the credit reporting agencies did not follow reasonable procedures to ensure accuracy.

Additionally, FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) requires credit reporting agencies to promptly correct any inaccuracies in a consumer 's credit report. Since the high credit and credit limit reported by Equifax are different from those reported by XXXX and XXXX, Equifax should have corrected the inaccuracy in its report promptly. 

In summary, the inconsistencies in the account information reported by the three credit reporting agencies violate FCRA Sections 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) and 623 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) regarding accuracy and prompt correction of credit report information. In addition, the account does not belong to me.
