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:
I am writing to formally dispute the collection account listed on my credit report under the following details : Creditor Name : Midland Credit Management Account Number : XXXX & XXXX This account is being reported inaccurately, and its presence on my credit file is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 states that I have the right to privacy regarding my consumer information.

15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

15 U.S.C. 1666b outlines proper billing procedures, which I believe were not followed in this case.

This inaccurate reporting has negatively affected my credit score, and I am requesting that you remove this account from my credit file immediately. I have also filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding this matter, as the government is currently taking legal action against XXXX for similar violations. 

If this account is not removed, I will have no choice but to pursue further action to protect my rights under federal law. Please provide written confirmation that you have deleted this account from my credit report. 

I expect a response within 15 days from the date of this letter. If you require additional information, please contact me immediately.

State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I had money for my electric bill in my account. I had opened the account this past month. I have nothing connected to where anything will come out. I had over {$100.00} when i went to sleep and when I woke up I had {$45.00}. I had a pending charge for {$98.00} and when it finally went thru it was a check with my name on it but spelled wrong. I dont have any checks. I have never ordered or used checks ever let alone with this new account. Ive filed a dispute and I ask the help messages when I can get the money back into my account and it ignores the question. I keep getting kicked off of the help messaging. I have to keep logging in each time. I had my electric turned off in the cold because they took this money from my account without my authorization. The name is spelled wrong on the check that took the {$98.00} from me. 
I think its insane that they can take whatever they feel like out of an account and then not even begin to help resolve the situation. I will be closing my account after j get my money back, there is no excuse to why the bank would take money from the account.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax 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 unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX, 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 XXXX has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer. XXXX
