Company: Block, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Today XX/XX/2023 I communicated with a self owned company about doing the decor and organizing my sons birthday party this weekend. She advised of the total cost for the service and provided me the phone number to send her the money. I used cash app to send the money {$140.00} and once completed I sent her a screenshot of the payment showing completed. She advised me she had not received the money. I looked in to my cash app and realized the number was on digit off and had sent to the wrong person and immeditely requested a refund through the app and reached out to support via chat. The support rep advised that the only solution was for me to request a refund from the person. I had already done that. I used the number that the money was sent to in error and did a search on XXXX with the number and it was linked to a woman so I messaged her and explained that the payment was sent in error. She advised she tried to refund the money but it was not allowing her to. She sent me a screenshot that she had reached out to cash app support to request assistance with providing me a refund and asked me to call cash app which i did. The rep on the phone told me that there was nothing they could do. I advised the rep that the person that mistakenly received the money had reached out to cash app for assistance with the refund and that in itself should be enough for them to issue a refund or reverse the payment. She told me she could not. The other person even advised that no bank account is linked to her cash app so the funds have not been taken out of her cash app account and should be able to be refunded. I am now out {$140.00} and have no way to pay for services for my XXXX XXXX XXXX party. I will never use cash app for this reason ever again. Because the transaction has not posted i would think it should be easy or that something can be done on their end to refund the money especially since the other person reached out and requested assitance in refunding me the money. I made cash app aware of this issue within 5 minutes of it happening.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This dealership XXXX XXXX ( located in XXXX, Fl ) is completely dishonest. They will do anything to make a sale or profit. Even if they have to lie to you. Prior to making the purchase on XX/XX/2023, my husband and sat down with their finance guy XXXX and had a chat with him prior to signing anything and prior to making the purchase. I specifically told XXXX that i'm okay with making the purchase in cash but him and the sales guy XXXX continued to convince me to apply for credit with them telling me I need to build credit and so on. I specifically asked him how my credit would be affected if I decided to go ahead with credit. I told XXXX and XXXX that I will not authorize or give my signature for a credit check if it results in more than 2 hard inquiries on my credit report. XXXX then promised me and assured me that it is only going to be 2 inquiries from XXXX XXXX XXXX and it will NEVER be more than 2 inquiries and I have nothing to worry about and that I should go ahead and sign to authorize him to do the credit check. He assured me of this over and over. I then went ahead and signed. I got home and saw 7 inquiries on my credit report. He knowingly lied and mislead me for my signature. I gave him a call and he denied it at first claiming that it's only two inquiries and I then told him that I can very CLEARLY see 7 inquiries on my credit ( from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Santander, XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and only then did he finally admit it, claiming that he made a " mistake ''. A few days later, his manager XXXX explained to me how the credit check process works and it was pretty clear that he knew what he was doing and it wasn't a mistake. He just wanted to do whatever it took for me to get a loan with them so they could profit. After that, their sales manager XXXX claimed he was going to make this right and he was going to help me get the inquiries removed. A month later I told him that the bureaus just want a letter from the dealership detailing the mistake and asking to remove the inquiries and that would be the end of this entire situation. But for some reason, at that point he began to deny their mistake and began refusing to assist with the letter to remove the inquiries, and he was claiming that he thinks i'm recording him. Which is ridiculous. I don't understand why they're so worried about fixing this mistake. Why they're paranoid about being recorded even though I was not recording them. Something very shady is going on with that business. That is clear.
