Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filling 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 inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Everything was fine until, XX/XX/XXXX almost 2 months later. I received a call from my bank ( XXXX federal ) saying the guy is disputing the transaction as fraud. I explained to them it wasnt fraud, she said nothing will happen on my end, XXXX figure out with his institution but reach out to him if you can. Days later, my bank took {$1000.00} out of my account without notice. I called them immediately talked to XXXX rep, they told me send XXXX message within my navy federal app and upload the evidence of conversation showing it was not fraud. I did that on XXXX, XXXX  comes and they determined I guess I have to reach out to him directly nothing I can do. I tried to tell them this dispute is fraud, I have evidence of the entire conversation showing he sent the money and knew who he was sending it to through my friend because I dont know this guy personally, so he typed my information in and sent the money. It was not fraud. I tried to dispute with my bank they said they dont dispute money sent from cash app XXXX XXXX which makes sense but hes able to and it was never fraud. XXXX of my phone conversations with the XXXX rep, he actually filed a complaint because he was shocked this took place in this manner

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ). 
Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
