Consumer complaint received 2024-07-12 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: Block, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have had a square account for a number of years. Its my main card for my XXXX subscriptions. I deposited a check for {$100.00} on Wednesday the XXXX. The company accepted the check and apparently cleared it. When I called I was told that my account had been closed but there wasnt any reasons listed. I talked to three different people and none of them helped the problem! My business is very small and every dollar counts!! Then someone transferred me to another department so they could cancel the check and I could receive a new one. However, once transferred the new person said it couldnt be done because the check was already processed. Any other time I put the same check in from the same account and its always ready in 1-2 days. Now they said I have to wait until the XXXX for the check to clear and then I will have to wait 90 days to be able to access my {$100.00}. I was on the phone for hours with no resolve and absolutely no empathy. Further more, I didnt even know they closed the account until I checked my email, which is also not ok considering that email and a physical address is completely different. One is for business and one is for play. They also told me that the co-owner of my business couldnt sit in on the phone calls because he wasnt an authorized person, if the account holder is right here verifying and saying talk freely, it works for doctors but not banks. Absolutely not, I refuse to accept any of that. The money is rightfully mine and I shouldnt have to wait until XXXX to do so unless someone else is going to cover this months expenses. Ive never felt more unheard as a consumer and more taken advantage of. The company chooses to do nothing and is hope its not the same with you.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
This is my refilling and requesting for the reinvestigation to EXPERIAN was the aftereffect of their rebelliousness to my solicitation and for their refusal of getting the things, recorded underneath, to be taken out from my credit reports. They did not remove my request, which I thought was against the rules of the Federal Credit Reporting Act, nor did they respond to it. As a result, I am writing this complaint to ask for help blocking or deleting the items in question because they found to be illegal and incorrect. I have also attached the FTC report to support this complaint with the FTC number XXXX.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am experiencing a significant and extended financial hardship as I am not able to work full time anymore due to a medical condition that has rendered me unable to work full time. I now have had a significant reduction in income because of this and I can not make ends meet with my current credit card obligations. I have called XXXX XXXX on 4 different occasions, asking them to please help me lower my payment and put me in a long term financial hardship plan. Every month I can not pay this bill, I call them and ask for help. Every single month, for four months now, they decline to help me. I don't know why, and the representative can not explain why. They just simply say " the system says you don't qualify '' - which is very frustrating. The " system '' is in charge of my life now? Please help me. I don't want to let this account go into collections and I want to pay my debt.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2024 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX I am formally lodging a complaint against EQUIFAX for the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit report, which constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Below, I detail the relevant statutes and stipulate the necessary corrective actions : 1. Inaccurate Bankruptcy Reporting : EQUIFAX has erroneously listed a bankruptcy on my credit report, which is patently inaccurate and baseless. This misrepresentation critically impacts my financial standing and violates my rights under FCRA provisions.

2. Violation of Privacy Rights Under FCRA : Per 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( 4 ), it is stipulated that as a consumer, I have an unequivocal right to privacy concerning my credit information. By disseminating incorrect bankruptcy information, EQUIFAX is in blatant breach of this statutory protection. 

3. Lack of Permissible Purpose as Mandated by FCRA : As defined under 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), any consumer reporting agency is mandated to have a legitimate permissible purpose to disclose consumer credit information. The unlawful inclusion of inaccurate bankruptcy information without due diligence and accurate verification flouts compliance with this regulatory requirement.

4. Insufficient Reinvestigation Process : Despite my previous disputes regarding this incorrect information, EQUIFAX has defended its erroneous reporting without conducting a thorough and meaningful reinvestigation as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ). The failure to correct this inaccuracy reflects a systemic disregard for compliance with FCRA mandates.

The inaccurate and unfounded reporting of bankruptcy by EQUIFAX is not merely an administrative oversight but a significant violation of the FCRA. The continuation of such discrepancies undermines my right to accurate and fair credit reporting, I implore the CFPB to prioritise this complaint, enforce compliance with FCRA standards, and ensure the swift rectification of my credit report.

Thank you for your prompt attention and action regarding this grave matter. I eagerly await your response and resolution. 

SINCERELY, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
