XXXX  is reporting " Paid account/was 30 days past due '' with a " 30-day delinquent '' status. TransUnion is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for all accounts. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( CRA ), particularly Section XXXX, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter. Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
My verified Cash App account has been frozen since XX/XX/year>, with a balance of {$190.00} locked and inaccessible. 

I have fully completed identity verification within the app ( government-issued ID submitted and approved ). Despite this, Cash App has refused to restore my account access or release my funds. 

Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have contacted Cash App support repeatedly. I have been issued multiple case numbers ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) and received responses from various managers ( including XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. However, every response has been identical : Your account is under review, we will notify you. No explanation, no resolution, and no timeline have ever been provided. 

Cash App is continuing to accept incoming funds into my account balance, but is blocking all outgoing transfers or withdrawals, effectively holding my verified funds hostage. This practice has caused financial hardship and is unfair and unreasonable. 

Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( Regulation E ), providers must investigate and resolve consumer disputes in a timely manner. Cash App has failed to comply with these obligations by indefinitely restricting access to my funds without cause or resolution. 

Requested Resolution : Immediate restoration of my Cash App account, OR Immediate release/return of the {$190.00} balance to the originating senders. 

I am attaching supporting documentation, including screenshots of my verified ID status and repeated stall responses from Cash App support.
