Complaint narrative:
XXXX has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX and XXXX, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer. XXXX has issued conflicting and misleading dispute results, violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). 

Discrepancies in Dispute Results I have filed the following disputes regarding this account : 1. Confirmation number XXXX was submitted on XXXX XXXX XXXX, and was marked as completed on XX/XX/year>. 
2. Confirmation number XXXX was submitted on XX/XX/year>, and was marked as completed on XX/XX/year>. 
3. Confirmation number XXXX was submitted on XX/XX/year>, and was marked as completed on XX/XX/year>. 
4. Confirmation number XXXX was submitted on XX/XX/year>, and was marked as completed on XX/XX/year>. 
5. Confirmation number XXXX was submitted on XX/XX/year>, and was marked as completed on XX/XX/year>. 

These accounts has never been removed and continues to negatively affect my credit report, making XXXX response both inaccurate, misleading and causing me ongoing distress. Misrepresentation in Dispute Results : Reporting that the disputed items were completed, taking mere days to complete while it remains on my credit report violates the XXXX prohibition on unfair and deceptive practices. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure XXXX, XXXX and Transunion complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

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 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 to these issues

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax Information Services LLC for multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the CFPB Consent Order ( XXXX ). My concerns include the improper reinsertion of a deleted account, discrepancies in reporting across credit bureaus, and XXXX failure to notify me or verify the accuracy of the reinserted information. 

The account in question, COMENITYCAPITAL/PIER ( partially identified as XXXX ), was deleted from my credit report on XX/XX/year>, and reinserted on XX/XX/year>, without proper notification or certification as required under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). Furthermore, Equifax falsely claimed the reinserted information was 100 % accurate despite significant discrepancies across XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax reports. 

Violations and Supporting Evidence Improper Reinsertion Without Notification : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) requires that consumers be notified in writing within five business days of a reinsertion, including the name, address, and contact details of the furnisher. Equifax failed to notify me. 
No certification from the furnisher was provided to confirm the accuracy and completeness of the reinserted information. 
Discrepancies Across Credit Bureaus : Equifax : Reported the account as closed, with a balance owed of {$1100.00}, marked as Pays as Agreed. 
XXXX : Listed the account as active with no indication of closed status and different last verification dates. 
XXXX : Did not list the account at all. 
Misrepresentation of Accuracy : Equifax claimed in its response to my dispute that the account was 100 % accurate. However, the discrepancies in reporting and lack of certification contradict this assertion. 
Failure to Comply with the CFPB Consent Order : The CFPB Consent Order ( XXXX ) highlights Equifaxs systemic failures to implement procedures ensuring compliance with FCRA. This includes their inability to notify consumers of reinsertion or verify the accuracy of disputed information. 
History of Disputes First Dispute : I disputed this reinsertion directly with Equifax. Despite my request, no documentation or verification was provided, and no notification of reinsertion was sent. 
Second Dispute via CFPB : I escalated the matter by filing a complaint with the CFPB under Case Number : XXXX, submitted on XX/XX/year>. Equifax responded by claiming the account was verified without providing any evidence or compliance with FCRA requirements.
