I am writing to dispute certain accounts and inquiries listed on my credit report, as referenced below, which resulted from a data breach or fraud, as well as any unauthorized inquiries. I also request verifiable proof, including my signature or electronic signature, for these entries. This letter is being sent on my behalf, not by a third party, so please review it carefully. I did not authorize these actions, and this constitutes a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 605B, which mandates the blocking of information arising from data breaches or fraud [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ], and Section 604, regarding permissible purposes for consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ]. I have contacted the relevant companies and confirmed that these actions were initiated without proper validation or original proof from the reporting entities. These accounts and inquiries are inaccurate, as I never authorized them, and therefore are the result of a data breach or the unlawful reporting of my information by creditors or third-party data furnishers.

Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request. Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding an unauthorized transaction on my Cash App account, which was charged without my consent and remains unresolved despite my immediate efforts to address the issue. My request for cancellation and a refund has been ignored, and I suspect fraudulent activity or scammers exploiting your platform, which raises serious concerns about your security measures and consumer protections. This mishandling appears to violate the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ), which mandates prompt investigation and resolution of unauthorized transactions, as well as the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) guidelines, both of which protect consumers from unauthorized charges and scams. Your failure to adequately safeguard users and resolve disputes may also violate state consumer protection laws, which prohibit deceptive practices and financial harm. I demand an immediate investigation into the unauthorized transaction, a full refund, and evidence of improved security measures to prevent future fraud. If this issue is not resolved within XXXX business days, I will escalate my complaint to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), and my State Attorney Generals Office for further legal and regulatory action. I expect a prompt and satisfactory resolution to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams.This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.
