i got a call while at work regarding an account being opened out of state. 

the woman was very kind and helpful. she made the proccess very pleasant. stopped the account from ever being opened. and told me to just dispute it to get the inquiry removed. 

later after the report showed up as an inquiry, i reported it as fraud. the manon the second call stated that i did not need to call the police. said " its okay not to call for a report, ill get this taken care of '' dispite me saying i can go file a report immediately and call back.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against CashApp regarding their negligent handling of my fraud claim. Despite my repeated attempts to address the unauthorized activity on my CashApp card, I have been met with unprofessionalism and a lack of response. 

On XX/XX/2023, my debit card number was stolen and used to make an unauthorized order through XXXX at XXXX XXXX 's in XXXX, AL. I immediately reported this incident to CashApp, suspecting a security breach at XXXX XXXX 's mobile system. Multiple customers, including myself, have reported unauthorized charges from XXXX XXXX 's, as confirmed by the store managers. 

Despite providing CashApp with evidence, such as the receipt and delivery location, they have failed to provide a clear explanation or resolve my claim. My attempts to contact their customer support team have resulted in empty promises and unfulfilled assurances. This prolonged lack of response has left me feeling ignored and helpless. 

I kindly request your assistance in addressing this matter and ensuring that CashApp takes appropriate action to investigate and resolve my fraud claim. I believe that their handling of this incident has been negligent and unprofessional, and as a loyal customer, I expected better treatment and a prompt resolution. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I checked my Equifax consumer report and noticed that an item is being reported without my expressed consent written or otherwise. Their is a bankruptcy reporting that is being furnished after I have disputed its inaccuracy and made Equifax aware of its error in reporting this. It violates my right to privacy and goes against The Consumer Privacy At of1974. It states that " 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 [ subject to 12 exceptions ]. 5 U.S.C. 552a ( b ). Equifax has been made aware through clear and conspicuous communication that the furnishing of this information is against my will and without my consent. Every time Equifax disseminates my consumer report, it is violating my privacy and laws set up by the FTC to mitigate identity theft.

Companies are supposed to adopt procedures that would aid in defense of such egregious misuse of my consumer report and protect the privacy of the consumers. Equifax failed to do that and according to 16 CFR 681.1 is liable for not following legal procedure and remaining compliant with Federal law.
