Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally state that I previously requested updated and accurate information regarding the account in question, as well as full validation of the alleged debt. Specifically, I asked for a copy of the original signed contract bearing my signature as proof of my obligation to this debt. 

In response, the reporting company provided only an old billing statement, which does not constitute proper validation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). A billing statement alone does not establish the legitimacy of the debt or confirm that I am legally responsible for it.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Equifax I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of inaccurate and incomplete credit information from my credit profile. It has come to my attention that the information listed below is inaccurate, and I am deeply concerned about the lack of accuracy and diligence in your operations to ensure the accuracy of the credit reports you publish. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), it is mandated by federal law that credit bureaus verify the accuracy of any and all accounts they report by physically verifying the original signed consumer contract. Failure to adhere to this requirement leaves room for the inclusion of fraudulent accounts, which could have serious repercussions for individuals such as myself. I hereby demand to see verifiable proof, in the form of an original consumer contract bearing my signature, for the accounts detailed below. Without such evidence, it is imperative that the account be promptly removed from my credit report. Accounts in question : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account information inaccurate not associated with consumer, please remove.

I kindly request proof of the alleged items be provided, specifically the contract, or other instruments bearing my signature. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for failing to conduct a proper reinvestigation of inaccurate personal information on my credit report, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i.

I submitted a dispute requesting correction of incorrect name, account not mine, wrong balance, inaccurate late payment, inflated balances, etc. along with supporting documentation. The CRA responded to some claiming the information was " verified as accurate '' but failed to provide any reasonable evidence or explanation of the verification process. This appears to be a cursory or automated response, not a meaningful investigation. 

Additionally, I have experienced significant roadblocks trying to access my online credit report or file disputes. These include : Locked or inaccessible online portal, Error messages or re-routing when trying to initiate a dispute, No adequate response from customer service to correct access issues. These access barriers prevent me from exercising my federally protected rights to review and dispute inaccurate credit information. 

I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with the CRA, but the lack of transparency, failure to properly investigate, and technical/institutional barriers have left me with no choice but to escalate.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I sent {$410.00} through Cash App to an individual who offered digital content/services. After I sent payment, the person admitted to misleading me and asked for more money, without delivering what was originally promised. 

I contacted Cash App support and provided screenshots of this interaction. Despite having clear evidence of deceptive behavior, Cash App refused to reverse the payment and cited that they can not reverse completed payments. They documented my case under XXXX # XXXX but offered no further resolution. 

This was a clear case of fraud, and I am disappointed that Cash App provided no protection or accountability for their platform being used in this way. I am requesting a refund of the {$410.00} and a review of their dispute resolution practices for cases involving scams.

Complaint narrative:
PennyMac services a mortgage that I was a joint borrower with years ago. In a divorce settlement the property was awarded to the other party in a court of law. I am told by PennyMac that the only way to remove me from this obligation and its reporting is to have the other person refinance. Unfortunately, that is not in my control. I can and will provide the final divorce declaration if that is what is necessary. I need to know what information is required and where to send it. That is all. I need this debt obligation removed from my name. It is not mine. I do not possess it or have any rights of ownership to it.
