Company: Block, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected! Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconveniences and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for the continued reporting of inaccurate late payment entries, despite my dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX with late reported in XX/XX/year> to XX/XX/year>. These late payment notations are the direct result of the furnishers internal reporting errors. I never failed to make timely payments on these accounts. The furnisher misreported my payment history to Experian, yet Experian continues to publish this inaccurate information on my credit file. I previously disputed these inaccuracies with Experian under FCRA 1681i, which requires them to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and delete or correct any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Experian failed to conduct a proper investigation and continues to report these unverifiable late payments. Per FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), furnishers are prohibited from reporting information they knowor have reasonable cause to believeis inaccurate. Despite this, Experians reinvestigation process failed to identify or correct these reporting errors. These false late payment entries have caused significant damage to my creditworthiness, emotional distress, and financial harm, as they have negatively impacted my credit score and ability to obtain favorable credit terms.

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.
