Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have been dealing with an ongoing issue regarding my account ( # XXXX ) for the past five years, with no clear resolution on who owns the debt. XXXX XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX, does not claim ownership of the account. However, the collection agency XXXX XXXX states they are only authorized to collect on behalf of XXXX, even though XXXX no longer owns the account. 

This situation has left me in a continuous loop, unable to determine who is actually responsible for the debt. Neither party is able to provide proper documentation verifying the true owner of the account, making it impossible for me to resolve this matter. 

I am requesting that XXXX provide a formal assessment of the debt, including confirmation of ownership and a detailed breakdown of the account history. This ongoing lack of clarity has caused unnecessary complications, and I need a resolution as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, someone charged my card for {$320.00} for XXXX. I do not use XXXX so I filed a dispute with them on XX/XX/XXXX ( late, I admit but I was reviewing all my transactions ) and stated that the transaction was not authorized. Despite this they very quickly denied my dispute although I am rightfully owed it. The chat support is unhelpful and the real customer service reps don't help either.

Company: Block, Inc.

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 redress for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
A FCRA violation refers to a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which is a federal law that regulates the collection, dissemination, and use of consumer credit information. Federal law requires that consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ) follow reasonable procedures to ensure 100 % accuracy of the information contained in their credit reports.If a consumer suffers damages as a result of a FCRA violation they may be entitled to bring a private lawsuit against the CRA and recover actual damages, statutory damages, and attorney 's fees. These accounts listed on my letter are not 100 % correct and I demand them to be investigated completely.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.
