Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as delineated in 15 USC 1681 section 602 ( a ), it is emphasized that consumer reporting agencies must execute their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a profound respect for the consumer 's privacy rights. XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and Experian, being consumer reporting agencies, hold this obligation. As a federally protected consumer, I have the right to safeguard my private information, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which underscores the Congressional policy of ensuring financial institutions respect customer privacy and safeguard nonpublic personal information.

Furthermore, entities providing information to credit agencies, categorized as financial institutions under this statute, are bound by 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), requiring consumer reporting agencies to furnish consumer reports solely in accordance with the written instructions of the concerned consumer. XXXX, Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the financial institution furnishing information to credit agencies lack my consent to furnish this information, let alone my written consent and violate their own terms and conditions by sharing information with nonaffiliate. Consequently, any and all consent, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, or implied, to XXXX, Experian, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the aforementioned financial institution is hereby revoked. 

Moreover, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) mandates that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is informed of their right to exercise the nondisclosure option. Regrettably, I have not been informed of this right by the financial institution furnishing information to credit agencies. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in consumer reports without authorization. Despite this, the account in question is being reported without my permission, contravening the law.

Further, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) dictates that no person shall furnish inaccurate information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Experian, therefore, are failing to maintain reasonable procedures to avoid violations of this statute, as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

Finally, pursuant to 12 CFR 1016.7, I am exercising my right to opt out of your reporting services effective immediately.

Complaint narrative:
The information reflected in my credit reports is currently marred by inaccuracies that have had a detrimental impact on my ability to secure new credit. As I submit credit applications to potential lenders, the discrepancies present in the reported data have led to confusion and contradictions, ultimately misrepresenting my creditworthiness. 

Given the gravity of these inaccuracies and their adverse effects on my financial reputation, I am formally requesting the correction of these errors and the subsequent removal of the incorrect items from my credit reports. It is imperative that my credit file accurately reflects my financial standing and history to ensure fair and informed assessments by creditors.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2024 - I attempted to link my bank account to my CashApp in order to transfer {$970.00} from CashApp to my traditional bank account. 
When linking my account, I received a rejection alert that it could not link because my " account has been linked to activity that violates the terms of use. '' I bank with XXXX XXXX, and my account has never been involved or even suspected to be involved with any illegal or unusual activity, so I was very confused. I called customer service and there was no explanation as to why the account was flagged and unable to be used, only that it could not be used. The resolution was basically a sales pitch to order a CashApp debit card in order to withdraw my money from an ATM, which consequently would net CashApp {$3.00} per ATM withdraw. I declined and requested my case be escalated- a process by which is done via e-mail only. 
XX/XX/2024 - I received an email from the CashApp " customer service manager '' who advised me that my zip code may be incorrect- this was not even the nature of my issue, my debit card has been linked for approximately 2 years and been used without issue, only now when I wanted to link my actual bank account to route my money OUT of CashApp did I have trouble. I counter e-mailed stating that this was not my problem and asked for resolution to my actual problem. The response email stated that they had provided all the information they could and would not provide any other information and my complaint would be closed. I contested and asked for further escalation and was told again that they had provided information to resolve me issue and my complaint would be closed.
