On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed an account reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX in the file you maintain under my Social Security Number. 

I was informed on XX/XX/XXXX, that the account was deleted from my credit report. ( Document with proof of this deletion included ). 

Now I have discovered that the item has been reinserted on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute TransUnions failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of my previously submitted dispute, as required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). Despite my request for verification of inaccurate information on my credit report, your response was inadequate and did not comply with federal law. 

According to the FCRA, when a consumer disputes the accuracy of an item on their credit report, the credit reporting agency is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. However, based on the outcome of my dispute, it is clear that TransUnion failed to meet this standard. Specifically : Lack of Proper Verification The disputed information was allegedly " verified, '' yet TransUnion did not provide any substantive documentation or explanation as to how this determination was made. 
Failure to Consider Supporting Evidence I submitted supporting documentation proving that the disputed item is inaccurate, but TransUnion disregarded this evidence without valid justification. 
Continued Reporting of Inaccurate Information Despite my dispute, the inaccurate information remains on my credit report, causing ongoing harm to my creditworthiness.

In light of these violations, I demand that TransUnion immediately : Conduct a proper and reasonable reinvestigation of the disputed item ( s ) in compliance with 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

Provide a detailed explanation of how the disputed information was verified, including the sources and methods used. 
Delete or correct the inaccurate information if it can not be fully substantiated. 
Provide me with an updated copy of my credit report reflecting any corrections. 
Failure to comply with these obligations constitutes willful noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and negligent noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681o. If this matter is not properly resolved, I will explore all legal remedies available to me, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursuing legal action.

Please respond in writing within the 30-day period required by law.

I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violates 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.
