Complaint narrative:
" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I made a fairly large airfare purchase from XXXX XXXX on my Citi XXXX XXXX XXXX. For whatever reason, XXXX XXXX is saying the original charge did not go through but the charge is pending on my Citi Credit Card. XXXX XXXX is stating Citi needs to release the pending transaction so I can submit the purchase again. 

When contacting Citi, they are refusing to remove the pending charge, even after 5 business days. They are saying it will take up to 30 days, which impacts the airfare rate at XXXX XXXX. 

I asked for a supervisor and asked for an exception to delete the pending charge or to dispute it, they refused both.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
This issue has been raised and not resolved thus I have made the effort to escalate the problem myself. 

I placed an order XXXX and the order was missing a pair of leggings ( {$11.00} ) The item missing is High-Waisted XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX | XXXX  XXXX and I used the claim link that customer service requires. My claim was denied citing there was no damage but that is not what I selected as the issue. 

The leggings were not in my package and I have never filed a claim like this before. Customer service refused to reopen the claim, so I filed a XXXX XXXX XXXX claim ( claim id : XXXX ) and they also cited they can do absolutely nothing. 

This has been an extremely difficult process for a simple {$11.00} pair of leggings that were not shipped to me. What does a customer have to do to get in touch with the right people to get a refund, or the leggings reshipped? 

I have tried to discuss Afterpay and they refused to step in and forced me to keep paying on an order that was not fulfilled properly, they just kept emailing me the same robot AI responses citing they only help me pay they do not create claims.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I had this problem with cash app I started off with the balance of XXXX cents. I received a cash app of {$10.00} which brought my balance up to {$10.00}. made to purchases at a vending machine with my cash app card one for {$2.00} another for {$2.00}. Am I balance on cash app end up only being XXXX cents after these two transactions I contacted cash app through the chat on the cash app app spoke to someone and they told me I made a purchase of {$1.00} twice and they told me my balance was {$7.00} and when I went to go look into the app of my balance it was {$7.00} later that evening I went to the corner store and I made a purchase of {$7.00} the corner store charged me XXXX cents to use my card. Today it was a different story The person that I spoke to at cash app altered my transactions and my account. The way cash app handle the situation they said that the vending machine charge the tip to bring the amount back up to where it was supposed to be now my account has a negative balance. It's a very small negative a balance It's around XXXX cents just under a XXXX  but the thing is I made a complaint about the situation and told them that the purchase that I spoke to yesterday altered my account and I'm out that I had in my account first of all how can I end up only with XXXX cent balance when I made a purchase under {$5.00} with my account balance originally was what's {$10.00} and XXXX cents and then how could my transaction get altered to only come to {$3.00} of purchase claiming that the transactions were {$1.00} each of two transactions I know this is a very small amount of money but just imagine if this was a large amount of money this would be unacceptable. And the top it all off I couldn't even get a straight answer on what happened about the situation and then it took me three different advocates to get this one simple answer I was trying to cover the negative balance of XXXX some cents my question was if I deposited money with that covered the balance nobody could answer the question they kept on reading from some sheet saying we can not answer your question on further on this matter. Other option was to dispute it and it would take 10 to 45 days I didn't want to make a dispute about XXXX cents just under a dollar and wait that long. I'm kind of iffy on using this app anymore because someone on a cash outside can alter your your transactions and alter your balance I heard other horror stories from other people that involved a lot more money and I never had a problem of cash app like this until yesterday I dig this place needs to be investigated It's probably some shady characters working there skimming money from people 's account. I took screenshots almost at a conversation I didn't send them all but if you need to see more of the conversation I have more. Or you can get it through cash app unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sirs, On XXXX XXXX I purchased a Macys gift card in the amount of $ XXXX.The clerk activated the card for use .It was sent as a gift. When the card went to be used ; there were no funds available. This card was purchased at a XXXX store on XXXX XXXX in XXXX NY. I went to XXXX to inquire and I was told this happens frequently. There was nothing they could do. I went to contact Macys directly .After much haggling, I was told to go to any store and my card would be replaced. However, this was not the case, and the store refused to give me a new gift card. My last try was to my bank, Citibank, to open an investigation .I have since had two letters from them, stating there was nothing they could do .I was hoping you might be able to assist me in this matter. Apparently, two behemoths of retail, could not take some kind of responsibility for this outcome .I, the consumer, am left holding the bag.
