Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received a message from XXXX XXXX and XXXX stating my credit score dropped. Both sites gave a link to see the reason why. Both sites indicated I opened a new credit card account with Fortiva Bank. I did not apply for a credit card with Fortiva, or any other financial institution. I contacted Fortiva and spoke to a female customer service representative who had a thick XXXX XXXX. It was so thick I could not understand her without asking her to repeat herself multiple times. Her claim was that I purchased an item from XXXX a few years ago and when I elected to finance my purchase through XXXX The financing went through Fortiva Bank, and therefore they are able to send me a credit card I never applied for. I have never been an intentional customer of theirs. My purchase through XXXX was done on XXXX website at time of purchase. I paid that debt off immediately, and it was XXXX  when I made that purchase. Fortiva commits fraudulent acts by initiating credit cards to consumers without the consumers knowledge or authorization, and places the consumer in a bad situation when it comes to credit and the potential for identity theft.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted several times to close my cash app account. Several times my account has been hacked and cash app refuse to refund my money after I disputed charges. When I try to close my account cash app says that the information I'm giving them to close my account doesn't match their records. I have given them all the correct information and yet they still refuse to close my cash app account. There is a XXXX cent balance which one of their requirements is to waive that XXXX cents and allow them to close the account by waiving the XXXX cents account balance. I have waived the account balance which means they can keep the XXXX cents. I just want my account closed and they still refuse to close my account. This has been going on since XXXX of 2023. I just want them to close my account I do not use the card. As a consumer when someone has hacked my card and taking money from me they've refused to protect me as a customer from hackers and give me back the money that was stolen. So I will no longer ever use their service again. I just want my account closed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I opened a credit card with a lender ( XXXX  XXXX XXXX ) who pulled a XXXX score from XXXX. 
XXXX  on XXXX shows a score of XXXX. The lender sent a credit score letter with the same date and XXXX  agency lower score of XXXX indicating I am higher risk. Unfortunately, that in turn unfairly impacted my scores on other agencies ( Equifax ). 

Lender inaccurately used XXXX and approved my credit card with minimum line. The lower line resulted in increasing my Utilization. 

The further implication is that when I purchased an AUTO on XX/XX/23 my score that was unfairly lowered, resulted in a higher pricing, thus impacting me significantly financially. 

I disputed this with XXXX, and they appear to have corrected the score. Unfortunately, it should be retrospective and reflect XXXX on XXXX. But the score was updated inaccurately and untimely. 

As a safe measure, I proactively paid off most of the balances immediately reducing my utilization from 37 % to 26 % well before XX/XX/23. However again due to unfair timing my score continued to report below XXXX. 

I have 24 years of credit, paid on time in FULL an average $ XXXX for 24 years, Never delinquent, never revolved, no negatives to damage my score this significantly.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I received and internal secured message from I.C. Systems so I followed their instructions, thinking that they were responding to my complaint that I had just filed with theCFPB on an alleged debt and their collection practices. I opened the secured message and saw that they were returning an alleged account back to XXXX and that no further collections will be attempted. If I had any questions I could call the number listed. 
So I called the number just to ask the question about the removal of the damaged collection account that had been placed on my credit reports. The I.C. Systems representative tried to transfer me to another section that the pop-up on her screen told her to but no answer. I call back later and went through the same steps and finally reached someone in that specific section. I asked how they planned to remove the collection account from my credit report, per the account information and reference information that I provided to them. They responded eventually with the fact that they dont report for XXXX but for XXXX and I asked what XXXX account, because I hadnt received any type of communication via mail or phone calls concerning an alleged debt owed to XXXX. So I ended the call. 
Upon my further research I did see that I.C. Systems had placed a collection account on my credit report for an alleged debt that I had no knowledge of or had received any type of communication concerning it. I reviewed XXXX  3 bureaus reports for XX/XX/XXXX  ; XX/XX/XXXX  where there werent any collections accounts but it appeared on XXXX  report dated XX/XX/.
