State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Recent reports from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) indicate that Equifax has failed to properly investigate consumer disputes. A lawsuit has even been filed against Equifax for violating consumer protection laws by not complying with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Under federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), Equifax is required to thoroughly reinvestigate disputed items within 30 days and remove any information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Ignoring this obligation is a direct violation of my rights.

I am disputing the following negative items, which I strongly believe may be linked to a data breach : XXXX XXXX XXXX  L - XX/XX/year> I have already provided supporting documentation multiple times, yet these errors persist. The lack of corrective action has caused me financial harm and unnecessary distress. 

I have a legal right to an accurate credit report, and I expect these items to be properly investigated and removed immediately.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Email : XXXX Phone : XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XX/XX/year> Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to dispute an inaccurate charge-off that appears on my credit report. According to 15 U.S.C. 1681i, as part of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is inaccurate, and the credit reporting agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to verify the accuracy of the disputed information.

Here is the relevant section of the law for your reference : 15 U.S.C. 1681i : This law mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate and correct inaccurate or incomplete information on a consumers credit report within 30 days of receiving a dispute.

In addition, the presence of this incorrect information also violates other consumer protection laws, including : 15 U.S. Code 6801 : Protection of personal information.

15 U.S. Code 6802 : Obligations regarding the disclosure of personal information.

15 U.S. Code 6803 : Disclosure of privacy policies.

15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) : Accuracy of credit reports.

15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) : Exclusion of certain transactions from credit reports.

18 U.S. Code 1028A : Aggravated identity theft.

This charge-off is inaccurate and is causing significant damage to my credit report and financial standing. Therefore, I kindly request that Equifax conduct an investigation and remove the charge-off from my credit report.

To support my request, I have attached copies of my identification and proof of address. Once the correction has been made, please send me a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the removal of the inaccurate information. 

Thank you for your prompt attention and assistance in resolving this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

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 volunerable and unprotected. Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under 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 dispute certain accounts and inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report, as referenced below. These entries are the result of a data breach or fraud, and I am requesting verifiable proof, including my signature or electronic signature, to substantiate their legitimacy.

This letter is submitted personally and not through a third party, so I urge you to review it carefully. I never authorized these actions, which constitutes a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 605B [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ], regarding the blocking of information resulting from fraud or a data breach, and Section 604 [ 15 U.S.C. 1681b ], concerning the permissible purposes of consumer reports.

I have already contacted the companies involved and found that these actions were taken without proper validation or original proof. Since I did not authorize these accounts or inquiries, they are inaccurate and must be removed as they stem from a data breach or the unauthorized reporting of my consumer information by creditors or third-party data furnishers.
