Complaint narrative:
Received an email about a new collection added to my credit report I find out Enhanced Recovery Collections for s trying to collect on a false and fraudulent debt. I had previously told the prior debt collector listed in my account the same thing that this is not my debt. They sold it to ERC. I have been in contact with the original debtor listed T-Mobile and they could not find any records on this debt. Plus the debt is well past the federal statute of time limitations. They expect {$390.00} out of me but, will get {$0.00} for a fraudulent debt.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to notify you regarding a problem I am experiencing with cash app. the recent transactions made on your platform from my account. The deal was presented to me as a chance to invest {$500.00} and receive a return of {$5000.00}, which sounded too good to be true. However, as I proceeded with the investment, I discovered that the entire scheme was a scam. 
The individuals behind the deal constantly requested me to send money to other people, claiming it was a fee or taxes. They also promised that I would receive more money, but there was always another payment required before I could receive my funds. To make matters worse, there were two different girls involved in the scam, which only added to my confusion.As a trusted and reputable financial platform, I expect Cash App to take responsibility for the fraudulent activity that has occurred through your platform and to assist in resolving this matter. I believe that it is imperative for Cash App to implement stronger security measures to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. 
My attempts to make the payment to receive my money backfired, and I ended up being scammed even further. This situation put me behind financially in a major way, and I have been struggling to recover ever since. 
I have made complaints to Cash App and attempted to ask for refunds from the individuals to whom I was instructed to send money. Unfortunately, all my attempts have been declined, leaving me feeling helpless and at a loss for what to do next. 
I believe that Cash App failed to perform due diligence and anti-money laundering ( AML ) procedures, which allowed fraudsters to steal my funds. As a cryptocurrency exchange operating in the United States, Cash App is subject to various regulations and guidelines aimed at protecting consumers and preventing illicit activity. 
The US government requires cryptocurrency exchanges to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act ( BSA ) and its implementing regulations, including the Anti-Money Laundering ( AML ) program and Customer Identification Program ( CIP ) rules. These regulations require cryptocurrency exchanges to implement strict know-your-customer ( KYC ) procedures, report suspicious activity, and maintain records of all transactions. 
Additionally, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ( FinCEN ) has issued guidance stating that cryptocurrency exchanges are considered money services businesses ( MSBs ) and must comply with BSA requirements. FinCEN also requires cryptocurrency exchanges to register as MSBs and implement AML programs to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.

I would appreciate a prompt resolution of this matter.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 XXXX, I received the notification about an unrecognized transaction in the amount of {$1300.00} by Apple Store online and will be pick up in the store. At XXXX, I reached out to the Goldman Sachs Apple card support team and told them about this. The specialist put on dispute for me and replaced my card. That's all they did. Few days later, the purchased item, which was an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX deep purple XXXX was picked up by someone ( using my identity ). 

After two months ( XX/XX/2023 ), I received an email saying that the disputed transaction was rebilled and sent me a report saying that the purchase information was by me ( my name, address, and billing address ). The person used guest checkout, and I didn't even realize what item was purchased until I saw the report. Of course it would show MY INFORMATION because this person stole my personal information and impersonated me. I tried to dispute again and hoping that they would do further investigation on it to prove that I didn't make the purchase, but they didn't and the bill came again after two months ( XX/XX/2023 ). They could of checked the store surveillance camera to see who really picked up the item or even see who is using that phone, which can definitely prove that it WAS NOT ME. Now they are saying that " it's been awhile and there's nothing much we can do. ", which is basically telling me that " we can't do anything, you have to take the responsibility on your own, and we don't care about you paying for something that YOU DID NOT PURCHASED. '' No other banks do that. 

If the Goldman Sachs support team did something to put " on hold '' to that transaction or notify the Apple employees about the transaction when I first reported that unrecognized purchase, so that they could be more cautious about checking IDs before giving the items out, nothing like this would of happened. I know that they just don't want to do the job. They just give you a solution by the report they see and gives all the stress to you. It's very unfair to me, and it's very disappointing for a loyal Apple user who has been using Apple products for over 10 years. I've NEVER had such hard time and difficulty on disputing before ....
