Complaint narrative:
I took my son who is XXXX on a cruise for his birthday. I made a purchase on Monday XX/XX/XXXX aboard XXXX XXXX which worked fine. Then all of a sudden the next day I tried to use an atm to get money and it was declined. Cash app completely shut down my account even after I explained to them that I was on a cruise with no other way to access money. I am on day XXXX of waiting to have my account unlocked and my son and I are stuck with no money. Even when I explained my situation I was told well youre going to have to just sit and wait. It could be 10 days it could be XXXX. I trusted cash app with all of my money because the last cruise I took it was the only card to work. So now my sons birthday has been ruined and we will potentially be stuck with no way home as of Saturday when we debark the ship because cash app refuses to unlock my funds long enough for me to transfer them to my bank account on file. I have been a cash app customer for years. But after this. People need to be cautious about them.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have found several payment errors. I've made payments on the app, on the website and over the phone. Their system is flawed. I pay the mortgage ahead of schedule since I'm self employed. I've nade XXXX payments this year, several of those payments were not disbursed correctly. I have not once added additional funds to principal. Upon reviewing my payment history, my XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments went directly to principal. Only XXXX of those payments were reversed and distributed correctly. The last payment I made over the phone and posted on XX/XX/XXXX. The entire payment went to principal. By my calculations my next payment should be due XXXX, however the app shows i owe XXXX payment. This is such an inconvenience to continue to ask for corrections. I am self employed and pay my mortgage ahead of schedule to account for slower months. This shouldn't be this difficult to do. I have made XXXX payments total this year alone, Ive made complaints and sent emails, but not all the errors were corrected. This is unacceptable, especially since my payment went up in the summer. I dont have additional {$6800.00} to pay down the principalbalance. I should be able to payment ahead, not only does it help my financial situation, but I avoid paying so much interest.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
My credit report has certain accounts that I'm not familiar with. Since I never gave them permission, they could be the product of identity theft. Having previously discussed this with you, I'm writing to request that these accounts be promptly deleted from my report in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit bureaus rectify erroneous information on consumer credit reports. These accounts have caused me stress because they are on my report. It's been difficult to deal with the impact because they don't represent my financial responsibility or credit history. I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and find a solution under the FCRA if we can't work this out. The inaccurate items that appear on my credit report have been a big obstacle for me. They're getting in the way of my important financial goals, like buying a house and taking care of my family. I hope we can resolve this issue quickly.

Complaint narrative:
These entries are inaccurate and do not accurately represent my payment history. I have made multiple requests for an investigation and correction of these discrepancies, yet no meaningful action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up repeatedly, these errors remain unresolved. This ongoing inaccuracy has caused significant financial hardship and emotional distress. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that is fair, accurate, and complete. This includes the prompt correction or deletion of any information found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. I am therefore requesting that you immediately investigate and update or remove these erroneous late payment entries. Continued failure to correct these inaccuracies constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law. I expect your prompt attention and a written confirmation of resolution as soon as possible.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
