Consumer complaint received 2025-03-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have tried repeatedly to have automatic payments set up on two of my personal Bank of America CC 's and one of my business checking BoA credit cards. While the customer service folks have tried their best to help me ( with their limited resources ), I am still not able to select an easy, seamless option to pay my credit cards. This is true for both the mobile app and accessing my accounts from my laptop. I am unclear why in XXXX  when I can set up an automatic payment on virtually any credit card, I am unable to do so with an international bank. I feel that BoA intentionally makes this process difficult for members and convoluted for their employees so that ultimately automatic payments become too time consuming. I am a XXXX XXXX  as well as working a full time job and have now missed several deadlines for payments -- though I always pay my credit cards after getting a late fee notice. I am asking for Bank of America to have more transparent and especially, a more ACCESSIBLE option for customers to set up automatic payments for their credit cards.

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Block, Inc.
State: FL

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 inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

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.

Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am being contacted about a debt that does not legally exist. 

I was a former tenant at XXXX XXXX Apartments managed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. They filed an eviction and debt claim against me and my family, which was dismissed with prejudice in XX/XX/year>. That means the matter was closed permanently by the court. 

Even after the dismissal XXXX XXXX XXXX referred the invalid debt to Columbia Debt Recovery LLC also known as XXXX for collection. We were contacted by email and phone and asked to pay a balance that had already been dismissed in court. 

These actions caused ongoing emotional and financial distress to my family. When we challenged the collection efforts, XXXX XXXX responded with a so-called walk-away release while also threatening a counterclaim for rent. This threat was retaliatory, unfounded, and intended to intimidate. 

We are requesting that the CFPB investigate XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Apartments, and Columbia Debt Recovery LLC for unlawful debt collection activity and harassment.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I selected Chase offer for XXXX XXXX purchase whicg I accepted XX/XX/XXXX to be completed by XX/XX/XXXX. The offer states : ... ... ... ... ... ...... 
Earn {$20.00} on your XXXX purchase, when you spend {$39.00} or more PLUS, get instant XXXX savings of 10 % at checkout* simply purchase from this_ special site just for Chase_card customers! 
... ... ... ... ... ... ...... 

PLUS means additionally, not instead of. Chase applied the 10 % off immediately which brought the total from {$39.00} to {$35.00}. I attempted to close the XXXX XXXX ( chase ) window ande go through the standard link so that I could bring my balance back up to {$39.00}, but there was no option to remove the chase 10 % discount. I wanted the {$20.00} statement credit offered not just the {$3.00} discount. An XXXX  submitted a request which was declined in writing. I and received the decline letter today, XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with a supervisor today who explained that the 10 % applied first, so they would not honor the {$20.00} statement credit. 

Assuming the XXXX  is correct, this was very misleading and feels very much like a bait and switch. There should have been an option to opt out of the 10 % discount if it meant forfeiting the more substantial {$20.00} statement credit.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
" 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 each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. ''
