Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Cash App sent a debit card to my new home. Now this home is not registered for any mail for me, especially banking information. This card has my name and my address. I contacted Cash App support and they told me they could not release any info because I could not verify the account even though it was opened in my name and sent to my address. The account was created a week ago without my consent nor knowledge. They gave me so much grief over the phone, they kept transferring me and then stated if they find it is fraudulent they will close the account but if not it will remain open. The issue here is, my personal information is listed, they may have access to my actual bank accounts, my social security number, etc. Seeing that cash app requires your social to open it. The company is no help at all.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Team, I am submitting this additional complaint to address ongoing inaccuracies in the reporting of debt by National Credit Systems ( NCS ) on my credit report. 

Background : On XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that NCS was inaccurately reporting a debt of {$6500.00} as open and outstanding. The original creditor is listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This information is incorrect because this debt was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I provided NCS with a Paid in Full Letter as evidence of this settlement, which was attached to my original complaint submitted on XX/XX/XXXX. Despite this, NCS continues to report the debt as open. 
Companys Response : In their response to my complaint, NCS stated that the original creditor contends the debt is valid and provided supporting documentation. However, the documentation provided by NCS does not reflect the fact that the debt was fully settled in XX/XX/XXXX. NCS has failed to acknowledge the clear evidence I submitted and continues to inaccurately report this debt to credit reporting agencies.
