Complaint narrative:
I got a call from a number, the associate on the phone stated that the Company attempting to collect the debt was XXXX XXXX. While they put me on a brief hold, I looked up the company 's number as I have NEVER conducted business with this company. I checked to see if it was possibly an affiliate number for someone I had conducted business in the past but instead found a plethura of complaints against them citing their abusive language their robocalls. I stayed on the line to let them know that I am on the Do Not Call List. ( est. 2005 ) They begin trying to verify my identity. This is a tactic they use to " verify '' the debt. I let them know that the name they gave was a former name I used and that I do not give out my personal information over the phone for faud and identity theft reasons as there are lots of scammers. I requested them to send me documentation with my signature that proves that I am liable for this debt as well as the master purchaser agreement. I also asked to send me any documentation via mail for me to review if they believed that I owed this debt. They hung on me. This was all on a recorded line as they stated at the beginning of the conversation.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report. 

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and 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 reported to be removed/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.

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!

re : acct # : XXXX. 
The XXXX  XXXX promotion was make {$1000.00} worth of purchases in 90 days and receive a {$200.00} bonus. I applied for, received and activated the promotional credit card shortly before our first purchase on XX/XX/year>. By XX/XX/year>, a few days later, I completed the {$1000.00} purchase requirement. I called Bread customer support several times before the 90 days was up and was told everything was on track to get the bonus. When I didn't receive the bonus by the end of XXXX, I called and was told I didn't qualify. Asked why, even though I had been told several times I did qualify, and was read what sounded like a canned, complicated reply. After getting that response, I said i didn't want to do business with a company that couldn't be trusted and closed the account. Even though the account is now closed, they still owe me that {$200.00} promotional amount. And, ironically, by closing the account, i lost the cashback rewards i had accumulated, approx. {$20.00}.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Square Capital LLC, requesting the bookkeeping entries associated with a loan allegedly " created '' by XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX FDIC, as well as the entry showing I made a payment on this loan. I followed up on XX/XX/year> and again on XX/XX/year> due to their failure to provide these records. 

Despite multiple requests, I have yet to receive clear documentation or an adequate explanation of how the loan was recorded and how payments were processed. This raises serious concerns about compliance with generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1601 ). Specifically, the discrepancies include : Voided and Pending Transactions : The loan transactions show voided and pending statuses, which should not be included in final financial records according to GAAP. Under the principles of accurate and fair reporting, only finalized ( captured ) transactions should be recorded.

Double-Entry Accounting : There is a lack of clarity regarding how the loan was booked within the double-entry accounting framework. GAAP mandates that each transaction impact at least two accounts, but I have not been shown how both sides of these transactions are recorded, if at all.

Multiple Adjustments Without Documentation : Several transactions reflect adjustments ( e.g., voided, pending, captured ) within a short time frame. Without proper documentation or explanation, this creates confusion about how the company records loan origination, disbursement, and repayments, which may indicate poor or misleading record-keeping practices.

Violation of U.S. Code : Square Capital LLCs failure to provide accurate loan documentation and explain the accounting entries in a clear, compliant manner may violate the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1635, which mandates transparency in credit transactions, and the Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1666 ), which allows consumers to dispute billing errors in credit transactions. Their actions also fall under the scope of unfair and deceptive practices as defined by the Dodd-Frank Act. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
