Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Block, Inc.
State: WA

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

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts resolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
" I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concern and dissatisfaction with the recent investigation conducted by your bureau regarding a disputed late payment on my account with XXXXXXXX XXXX account number ending in XXXX on XX/XX/year> I submitted a request for investigation, clearly stating that I have never been late on any payments for this account. I provided you with the necessary details, including my expectation that your agency would conduct a thorough investigation and provide either proof of the alleged late payment or update the record to reflect that all payments were made on time. 
To my dismay, I was informed that your investigation concluded the late payment was " verified '' without any proof or supporting documentation provided to me. This response is both unsatisfactory and concerning, as it suggests a lack of due diligence in your investigation process. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are obligated to ensure that all information reported is accurate and to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes the information. The failure to provide proof of the late payment or to correct the error is a clear violation of these responsibilities. 
I demand that this matter be re-investigated with proper attention to detail, including : 1. Providing documented proof of the alleged late payment, such as account statements or communication from the creditor.

2. Correcting the inaccurate information on my credit report if proof can not be provided, reflecting that all payments were made on time.

3. Providing a detailed explanation of the investigation process that was followed and the specific steps taken to verify the information.

Please consider this letter a formal complaint. I expect a response within 15 days, as stipulated under the FCRA. If the matter is not resolved to my satisfaction, I will have no choice but to escalate this issue to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and consider further legal action. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your swift and accurate resolution of this issue.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Problem with your payment plan
Company: MOHELA
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I have made numerous attempts to enter into IBR repayment plan towards PSLF. My loan service was switched to Mohela in XXXX of XXXX and I was placed on the " SAVE '' repayment plan. Due to pending litigation, MOHELA placed my in forbearance. Since then, I have tried to enroll back into an IBR repayment plan. I submitted Income Based Repayment Plan Request in XX/XX/XXXX. Mohela did not process. I submitted two applications in XX/XX/XXXX and Mohela did not process. I received a letter from Mohela 30 days later that confirmed my IDR request was recieved, but when I check back to studentaid.gov it states that my application is closed. I submitted another application XX/XX/XXXX and it shows under review. 

For the past few months, I have not been credited towards PSLF forgiveness because I am in forbearance. Additionally, I have been denied an important home loan/mortgage, because I can not verify my payment plan for my bank because Mohela will not process my IBR repayment plan request. 

I have called Mohela daily for weeks regarding this issue. No matter the time or the day, it is impossible to reach an agent. I call first thing in the morning and get in line for a return phone call. IF I get return phone call it is anywhere from 3-6 hours later. Then I talk to an agent who merely confirms my personal and account information and tells me I need to speak to an " advance agent. '' I am then transferred to another automated line with wait times for the same time frame or longer. Sometimes, the automated line gives me the option to press 1 for a return call. Sometimes it does not. When it does not give me the option to press 1 for return call, I wait on hold for 1-2 hours as long as I can without disrupting my job duties. But, often I have to end the call because I can not spend hours on hold. When I do have option 1 for return call, I several more hours for return call. Most of the time I do not get a return call. I have received one return call with over weeks of trying. The advanced agent I spoke to essentially told me that their processing times are delayed with no further insight or resolution. 

I just want to resume payment under IBR repayment plan so that I can : ( 1 ) remain on track towards PSLF forgiveness and ( 2 ) have written documentation of my payment plan for loan purposes. 

This has been a nightmare with no end in sight.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Please review the attached docs. 

My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 
15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
