Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
Venmo closed my account with them with no reason given when all my transactions were legitimate. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email stating that I need to upload my identification to maintain my account status due to suspicious activity. I did not see this email, and my account was permanently closed. I contacted the Venmo support team on XX/XX/XXXX, and they provided no information besides reminding me that my account was permanently closed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I uploaded my identification to their website in order to attempt to get my account reopened but they did not provide any resolution. Further attempts to contact Venmo on XX/XX/XXXX resulted in the same message saying my account was closed. In addition, my Venmo account was linked to an organization account with {$2000.00} in it for a club at my school of which I am the XXXX of and every time I contacted Venmo support, they did not understand what an organization account was because it is a discontinued but still supported feature from years ago. I was repeatedly asked to provide phone number or email verification that I own the account, but those are not linked to the organization account since it works on a different system of assigning ownership to a personal Venmo account - i.e., not linked to a phone number or email. By closing my personal Venmo account, I am no longer able to access my organization account since they use the same login for both accounts.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I experienced a significant loss of {$4500.00} due to an issue with XXXX ( squareup.com ). Over the summer, I collaborated with a non-citizen in the U.S. to develop a portable high-performance server. My role involved assembling the server and creating the operating software suite XXXX After completing the project, I processed payments through Square.

However, after the payment was made, Square held the funds and requested documentation regarding the transaction. I provided all the necessary information, but Square later informed me that they would not process the payment, citing concerns that the credit card used was stolen. They insisted I issue a refund to the customer, or they would freeze my account.

When I asked for evidence of the alleged fraud, Square could not provide any specifics, only stating that the card was flagged. The customer then reached out to their bank, which confirmed that there were no such reports from the issuing bank and that there had been no communication with Square regarding this matter. It became clear that Square 's claim about the card being flagged was unfounded, seemingly to shift responsibility onto my business and the customer, benefiting from the processing fees while denying me access to my funds.

As a result, I had no choice but to issue a refund to protect my brand 's reputation, incurring substantial financial and emotional losses. This incident has also led to customers hesitating to do business with me, citing concerns about my ability to handle payments properly, which has caused significant inconvenience for everyone involved.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year>. 
It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off.

The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score.

Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this
