Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever the38668re is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I issued a XXXX XXXX via physical check to be mailed to the receiving party in the amount of {$4900.00} on XX/XX/year>. By XX/XX/XXXX, the receiving party confirmed that they had not yet received payment, so I had to make the payment directly. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Citibank to confirm the check had not been cashed and to have them stop the payment so that I could pay the receiving party directly. The woman I spoke with informed me that the funds would be returned to my account in no more than XXXX business days. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a confirmation email from Citibank stating that " We completed your stop payment request ''. 

On XX/XX/year>, the funds still had not been returned to me. I called Citibank to inquire as to where my {$4900.00} was and when I could expect it. They confirmed over the phone that the stop payment was " not processed '' and that they would " request to have the check stopped but there was no guarantees I would receive my funds as the check might have been cashed ''. I was also told that it would take a minimum of an additional XXXX business days to process. I stated to the Citibank representative that I should not be held accountable for this payment if it was cashed as I instructed Citibank to stop the payment and Citibank failed to do so, to which the representative responded " there's nothing we can do ''. I asked to be escalated to her XXXX, who then stated " too bad, I can't help you, you just have to wait '' and hung up on me when I requested her name for my records. 

XXXX days after I processed this payment, the money is still floating in the ether. Over a week after I was promised the money would be back in my account in XXXX business days, I am now faced with another XXXX business day wait without any guarantees that I will receive my money back. This is unacceptable, unprofessional, and extremely disappointing as we head into the holidays.

Company: Remitly, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am a long-term, high-volume customer of Remitly. On XXXX XX/XX/year>, I attempted a {$40000.00} transfer from my verified XXXX XXXX to a recipient in XXXX. Remitly cancelled the transaction and permanently suspended my account without specific cause. 

This action ignores my established history of successful, high-value transfers ( {$30000.00} in XX/XX/year> and {$40000.00} in XX/XX/year> ) using the exact same source and recipient. Furthermore, Remitly appears to be penalizing me for a technical account reconciliation issue from XX/XX/year> that was already disclosed, resolved, and waived by their staff at that time. 

By citing a vague " breach of terms '' without providing evidence or an appeal process, Remitly is acting in a punitive manner and failing to provide the transparent error resolution required of remittance providers under federal law.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I attempted to purchase gas using my Cash App card at a gas station. I did not receive any gas at the pump. The pump instructed me to go inside to complete the transaction. 

When I went inside to the cashier, I was told I could not purchase gas because Cash App had already placed an {$80.00} hold on my account. As a result, the transaction could not be completed. 

This left me completely without moneyno gas, no food, and no water. I immediately contacted Cash App and asked for my funds to be released since no gas was dispensed. I was told that the merchant was holding the funds and that the money would not be returned for XXXX to XXXX business days, and that there was nothing Cash App could do. 

I do not understand how my money can be held when no product or service was provided. 

This practice is devastating and harmful, especially to people living paycheck to paycheck. There should be clear and visible disclosures at every gas pump warning consumers that using a Cash App card XXXX result in a large temporary holdsometimes far exceeding the actual purchase amountfor several days. 

Because of this hold, I was left penniless during the XXXX holiday, sick at home, with no food, no water, and no transportation. This was all the money I had. 

I believe this practice should be investigated. Holding consumers funds for several days without proper disclosureespecially when no transaction is completedcauses real harm. Many people likely experience this and have no recourse. 

There must be transparency and consumer protections in place. At minimum, clear disclaimers should be required so people are not caught off guard and financially stranded. 

Cash App should not be allowed to hold funds under these circumstances without immediate reversal when no purchase occurs. This practice must be stopped, or consumers must be clearly warned before their money is seized.
