Company: Block, Inc.
State: IL

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.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the validity and reporting of the alleged debt referenced in my credit report. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1692 ] and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681 ], I have identified serious discrepancies and potential violations of federal law regarding the handling of this debt.

According to my credit report, your company has marked this debt as " written off, '' yet you continue to attempt collection and re-report the debt. If this debt has indeed been written off, then it is no longer collectible, and under IRS regulations ( 26 U.S. Code 6050P ), your company is required to issue a 1099-C Cancellation of Debt form for tax purposes. To date, I have not received this form, indicating either an improper classification of the debt or an attempt to unlawfully collect on a previously discharged obligation.

Under FTC regulations, continuing collection efforts on a debt that has been written off without issuing a 1099-C constitutes deceptive and unfair practices, which may be considered fraud. Additionally, re-aging or re-reporting the debt in an attempt to extend the statute of limitations is a violation of the FCRA and the FDCPA. If this practice continues, I will have no choice but to file complaints with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), my State Attorney General, and the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) for potential tax fraud and consumer rights violations. 

I demand that you : XXXX. Cease all collection efforts immediately. 
XXXX. Confirm in writing whether this debt has been written off and, if so, issue a 1099-C was required by IRS law . Which you failed to provide in a timely manner.

3. Remove any inaccurate or re-aged reporting from all credit bureaus immediately.

Failure to comply with this request within 05 days will result in formal complaints being filed with the FTC, CFPB, IRS, and my State Attorney Generals office. 
Please respond in writing to the address provided above.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Experian 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 Experian, 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 Experian 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 Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Today is XX/XX/XXXX so 16 days after and they still did not remove this account that contain errors on my credit report. You can clearly see that they are not investigating anything because on XX/XX/XXXX they send me a notification that they completed the investigation but nothing changed. They are not doing anything and they are not investigating and verifying information, all they do is to close the investigation. Even though I send them several identity thefts reports they are not doing their job.
