Complaint narrative:
Subject : Second Request for Credit Information Correction - Non-Compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b and Other FCRA Provisions I am writing to follow up on my previous letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, in which I requested the correction of inaccurate information on my credit report regarding incorrectly reported late payments on myXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - XXXX - This is paid as agreed and should not be reporting negatively on my report.To date, I have not received confirmation of the correction nor observed any changes in my credit report. 

As stated in my previous correspondence, according to 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements, including all information required by section 1637 ( b ), at least 21 days before the payment due date. This requirement ensures that consumers have sufficient time to receive, review, and make necessary payments without being unfairly penalized for late payments.

Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 15 U.S. Code 1681i and 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, mandates that credit reporting agencies and information furnishers correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in credit reports and ensure the maximum accuracy of information contained in consumer files. 

Moreover, I would like to refer to the Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ), which establishes that creditors must ensure timely delivery of statements to avoid unfair penalties to consumers. 

Furthermore, under the FCRA, articles 616 and 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ) outline the civil liability for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively. These provisions provide for damages, including actual damages, attorneys fees, and possible punitive damages, for failure to comply with the Act 's requirements.

The non-compliance with these regulations has resulted in the appearance of late payments on my credit report, which has adversely affected my credit score. This situation is a violation of my rights under the FCRA.

I formally request a reinvestigation of my dispute and correction of any inaccurate information related to these late payments on my credit report. Below are the details of the affected payments : Date of reported late payment : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Twice I have submitted disputes to this bank about merchandise that I was charged for and I did not receive. Therefore I filed a dispute the first one was with the store XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year>. The customer service agent put in the system that I was over charged and requested additional information. I called into the bank and talked to another customer service agent and was told that person put in the incorrect information because I explained there was a power outage and I was charged 3 times for merchandise I NEVER received. She said okay I will update the dispute. The total amount for those transaction : {$340.00}. What do I submit as evidence an empty coat hanger with nothin on it? To date I have seen no information about that. 

I then made an online purchase in XX/XX/year> ; to this date I have not received the merchandise from XXXX XXXX  I was accused of having the product when the tracking number stated it was not delivered to me. There was no apology from that merchant and again the bank paid the merchant when there was proof submitted that I did NOT receive that merchandise either. I was told by the merchant the merchandise would be sent the same day I packed the order. Two months later and I still do not have the merchandise. The total was {$750.00}. I have never received that merchandise so how can I pay for something I do not have? I am not sure what else to do besides to serious close my account because this bank is full of unprofessionals that have no idea what they are doing. This is starting to become a habit with this same bank and I am so tired of them.

I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Despite this, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX still can not access my credit report, preventing me from proceeding with my loan application.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violates the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, CashApp 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.
