Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have filed a few disputes with transunion and with equifax. I have 2 accounts showing. 1 is ollo which was bought by XXXX XXXX  so XXXX XXXX  is also reporting this account. They both are reporting as if they both own the account. This is a charge off account so by both companies reporting this debt and not 1 showing as sold or transferred this is causing extreme hardship on my credit. The disputes I did I detailed what was wrong and they came back as information verified which cant be because both companies ollo and ally cant own the same account and they both could not have charged off the same account. Im also not able to remove old address from my experian report or old names that are not even used by any accounts. Im trying very hard to fix things.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Over the past year, on at least three separate occasions, unauthorized individuals were able to add themselves as authorized users to my Discover account without my consent. Each time I reported this to Discover, their only response was to issue me a new credit card, but the problem continued to occur. 

In addition, despite me freezing my account and repeatedly changing my password, someone was still able to log into my account multiple times. I received repeated email notifications that my account information ( email, phone number, mailing address ) had been changed without my authorization. 

Because this kept happening, I stopped using the account entirely out of concern for my security. Eventually, Discover closed my account for inactivity. While I understand accounts can be closed after non-use, the reason I stopped using the card was because Discover failed to address the repeated fraud and security breaches. 

I am requesting : 1. A full investigation into how unauthorized users were repeatedly able to gain access to my account despite my efforts to secure it. 
2. Assurance that my personal information and identity are not compromised through Discovers systems. 
3. Confirmation that this account closure will not negatively affect my credit report, as I was forced to stop using the account due to Discovers lack of adequate security protections.

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 there 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. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed Experian, Equifax and Transunion regarding multiple accounts that are inaccurate. As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.

Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Harris & Harris illegally contacted and disclosed my private financial information including a supposed toll debt to my XXXX  ex-husband whom I have had a protective order against. And have been divorced from for YEARS. 

I have been removed from my ex for over 3 years and my current vehicle has never had any association with him in any way. They illegally contacted him and sent him written financial information with MY name on it. 

I called to resolve this, saying they illegally contacted him, and they said they have the right to do it ( they dont, its illegal ), they told me I am LEGALLY required to have a toll tag and that I could have avoided this situation by buying a toll tag ( also untrue because it should be billed by mail according to the license plate information-which has only ever had only my information associated with it ), and they threatened me with citation and legal action for a supposed debt of {$43.00} dollars.

Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Block, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, unauthorized withdrawals totaling {$6000.00} were made from my Cash App account and used to purchase XXXX. I did not authorize or approve these transfers, nor did I benefit from them. These fraudulent transactions wiped out money I had set aside for rent and school, leaving me in severe financial and personal hardship. 

I immediately reported the fraud to both Cash App and my linked bank. When I finally regained access to my Cash App account, I discovered that only {$930.00} remained. Cash App has never explained why the rest of my {$6000.00} is still missing, nor have they issued me a refund or provisional credit. 

I made it clear to Cash App that these were unauthorized electronic fund transfers and requested an investigation, reimbursement, and account security measures. Instead, they dismissed my case with a generic response that XXXX transactions are irreversible. This is misleading and does not address the actual issue : the unauthorized withdrawal of funds from my Cash App balance, which is protected under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( Regulation E ). 

Cash App is a regulated financial services provider and is required by law to investigate unauthorized transfers, provide written findings, and issue a provisional credit within 10 business days if more time is needed. They have failed to do so. To date, I have not received any refund or valid explanation, aside from the {$930.00} that remained in my account when I regained access. 

I am urgently requesting that the CFPB require Cash App to fully investigate this fraud and refund the stolen {$6000.00} immediately. Without reimbursement, I can not cover my rent and education expenses.
