Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

Specifically, cash app failed to take timely and effective measures 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 caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I opened a credit card with Discover Financial Services on XX/XX/XXXX, when I was a XXXX In XX/XX/XXXX, I called to pay the outstanding debt on the account, which had already been marked as a charge off. However, after several disputes with Discover, the company informed me that a new account had been opened to manage the debt, claiming that since I was of legal age in XXXX, the original contract was valid. 

The new account was never explicitly communicated to me, and I did not authorize its opening. Furthermore, the new account is directly related to the original account, which was opened when I was a minor. Since I do not recognize this new account as valid and believe it is linked to the original account that was opened illegally, I request that the new account be removed from my credit report. 

Additionally, I have attached a photo of the account as it appears on my credit report, which is different from the information provided by Discover. This discrepancy further supports my claim that the new account is invalid and should be removed. 

I consider accounts XXXX and XXXX to be one and the same, as they both originate from the same source and are directly related to each other. The new account opened by Discover appears to be linked to the original account, and I believe they should be treated as a single account.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverified accounts unresolved. Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) filed a lawsuit against Experian, citing systemic issues, including the failure to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and not adequately notifying consumers of dispute outcomes. These issues align with my experience, where Experian neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, resulting in continued harm to my credit standing. I request immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction constitutes a violation of federal law and my rights as a consumer.
