Company: Block, Inc.
State: GA

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

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with the interest rate
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The sale price was around {$24000.00}. I put down a {$3000.00} cash payment at the time of purchase and have since paid over {$14000.00} through monthly payments of {$790.00}. Despite this, I still owe {$26000.00}, and the car is currently only worth about {$24000.00} based on market valuation sites. 

At the time of purchase, I was enrolled in trade school and had no verifiable income. Despite that, I was approved for the loan. I was never clearly informed of the interest rate, and after reviewing the loan performance, it appears the majority of my payments have gone toward interest and fees, not reducing the principal. I now believe this loan may be predatory in nature. 

I have asked the lender and dealership for a breakdown of how my payments are being applied, the interest rate, and whether there were any additional fees or products included without my knowledge. I have not received clear or helpful answers. 

I am requesting a full investigation into whether unfair, deceptive, or predatory lending practices were involved, including failure to verify my ability to repay, lack of proper disclosure, and inclusion of excessive interest or hidden charges. This situation has caused serious financial harm and I am seeking relief.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
This COMPLAINT serves as a formal follow-up to my previous complaint submitted last month regarding inaccurate and damaging information being reported on my credit file. I am requesting your immediate assistance in launching a formal investigation into the reporting of a late payment that I categorically deny. 
I have never been late on the account ( s ) in question. I have always made my payments on time and have maintained a responsible credit history. The inclusion of any late payment ( s ) on my credit report is inaccurate and a clear reporting error, either by your agency or the original creditor. 

This inaccurate information is causing me significant distress and has already resulted in a wrongful denial of credit, which was not only financially damaging but personally embarrassing. As you are no doubt aware, credit bureaus are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy of consumer data under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

ACCOUNT : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/year>. 

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) : ( 1 ) The banking system depends on accurate and fair credit reporting. Errors disrupt system efficiency and damage consumer trust.

( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have a critical duty to properly assemble and evaluate information on consumers.

Given that the reported late payment is erroneous, I am formally requesting that : A full reinvestigation of this item be conducted in accordance with the FCRA.

The inaccurate late payment entry be permanently removed from my credit report. 
My credit file be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. 
Please consider this a formal dispute under the FCRA. I respectfully request that you provide written confirmation once this error has been investigatedandremoved.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the continued presence of inaccurate information on my credit report, despite multiple previous attempts to rectify these errors. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are obligated to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you report. These inaccuracies have adversely affected my creditworthiness and have caused undue stress and financial hardship. 

I would like to draw your attention to recent enforcement actions that underscore the importance of accurate credit reporting : The CFPB sued XXXX  for failing to properly investigate consumer disputes, resulting in the inclusion of incorrect information on credit reports. 
XXXX Bank was fined nearly {$28.00} XXXX for providing inaccurate, negative information about its customers to credit reporting agencies and for delays in correcting errors. 
TransUnion faced a {$23.00} XXXX fine for failures related to tenant screening and security freezes, which included not ensuring the accuracy of rental background checks. 

These cases highlight the serious consequences of non-compliance with the FCRA. 
I am requesting that you : 1. Conduct a thorough and impartial reinvestigation of the disputed items.

2. Delete or correct all inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I submitted formal identity theft disputes under FCRA XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ) to all three credit bureaus. I included a signed FTC Identity Theft Report, my ID, and a written request to block fraudulent accounts, inquiries, and personal information. This was a complete and valid 605B submission.

By law, the bureaus are required to block the disputed items within 4 business days unless they determine the report to be fraudulent. I have solid documentation from XXXX XXXX of them notifying me of the different times my card information was compromised as well as evidence of my information being included in multiple data breaches. I never received any such determination, and yet none of the disputed items have been removed. Instead, I was told that the bureaus are " waiting on the creditor to verify the account. '' This is not how 605B works. Under this statute, consumers are not required to wait for creditor verification ; the bureau must block upon proper documentation. 

Even worse, I am now receiving a wave of stall letters from furnishers, requesting the same FTC Identity Theft Reports and documentation I already submitted to the credit bureaus. These companies are simply buying time while the damage to my credit continues. The result is a frustrating, circular process where no one takes responsibility, and no one complies with the law. 

I took the legal steps required of me. I followed the exact 605B protocol, sent the correct documents, and asked the bureaus to do what federal law requires : block fraudulent information and notify the furnishers. Instead, Im being bounced back and forth between creditors and bureaus, while my credit reports remain unchanged and my rights are ignored. 

This has led to ongoing financial harm, emotional distress, and lost time. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to enforce FCRA 605B immediately. I want the tradelines and inquiries permanently blocked, the furnishers properly notified, and written confirmation that my identity theft report was received and acted on. 

Consumers shouldnt be forced to relive their identity theft trauma over and over, just because the system is built to delay, deflect, and ignore. I did my part. Its time the bureaus do theirs.
