In XXXX of XXXX my wallet and cellphone were stolen. In XXXX of XXXX I called cash app support to try gaining access to my account. I provided them with all the information I had. They pulled up my account and gave me the balance. I did everything they asked of me including verifying my identity and while they tried to get me in my acct I was hung up on after a 45 minute call. The next day I called again. I went through the process again and then was told they couldnt grant me access to the account. I asked if they had a supervisor I could speak with and the person hung up on me. After about a week I tried to call again. I asked them to unlock my card. The woman says it is unlocked. I tried to transfer the money to my XXXX because I have my cash app card connected to that already. It did not work. She said I would be granted a one time balance transfer. She also told me the balance was XXXX. After being on hold for about 10 minutes she said it was denied for security reasons. I dont understand how because every question she asked I was able to answer. The only information I can not provide are the card numbers because my card was stolen. I cant get in my account because my phone was stolen and I cant gain access to my email without a 2 step verification process. When she told me it was denied I asked what I needed to do to get my money. She said she couldnt help me any further. I asked who I needed to talk to then to which she replied the same response that she could not help me. I asked who her supervisor was and I was yet again hung up on.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX According to my credit report, XXXX XXXX XXXX has filed a charge-off in the amount of {$5200.00}. In light of this, I am writing to express my concern about the lack of proper documentation associated with this charge-off and to bring to your attention a potential violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

As per my understanding of IRS regulations, when a creditor charges off an amount owed by a customer, it is required to issue a Form 1099-C to the debtor. This form is crucial for accurate reporting of income and compliance with tax regulations. To date, I have not received any such form from XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I am concerned about the potential repercussions of not having the necessary documentation for tax purposes. 

Moreover, I believe that the lack of documentation from XXXX XXXX XXXX may constitute a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The FCRA mandates that accurate and complete information be reported by creditors, and failure to provide essential documentation may result in inaccurate reporting on my credit file. 

In light of the above, I kindly request that you investigate the matter and ensure that XXXX XXXX XXXX provides the necessary documentation, including a Form 1099-C, related to the charge-off on my credit report. I am seeking clarity on the validity of this charge-off and require the proper documentation to fulfill my tax obligations. 

Please provide me with updates on the status of your investigation and any steps taken to rectify this matter. Your prompt attention to this request is greatly appreciated, and I trust that you will take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the FCRA.
