Company: Pendrick Capital Partners Holding, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Several weeks ago, I received a call from Affiliate Asset Solutions. They claimed to be collecting on a XXXX bill from a XXXX emergency room. They told me the emergency room sold my debt to their client, Pendrick Capital Partners. I asked for something in writing providing info about the debt and documentation showing that Pendrick actually purchased the debt from the hospital. I received an account statement in the mail, but I still was not provided with documentation proving that Pendrick owned the debt. I can't be expected to pay someone if they can't prove the validity if what they are  claiming. Today, I received a call from a very hostile woman at Affiliate. When I explained that I still didn't have anything showing that Pendrick was the rightful owner of the debt, she yelled at me and told me if I needed to know who Pendrick was I should call them. I told her I was disputing the debt because I didn't know who the alleged owner of the account is and hadn't been notified that an account ( which I still don't know what it's for ) of mine had been sold. I told her that I knew she has a obligation to help resolve disputes on debts they are trying to collect. She yelled that I had an obligation to pay my bill and then hung up on me. I called back and asked for a manager to try to resolve the matter. The manager yelled at me as well and was not willing to provide proof of who the current creditor is for the alleged account. I ended the call because the manager wouldn't stop yelling and wouldn't help resolve the problem. 

I immediately sent an email to Affiliate Asset Solutions ( at the only email address I could find on their website : info@affiliateas.com ) requesting that they cease and desist all communication with me. I should not have to deal with degrading hostility when I was just trying to get proof of the validity of the debt.

He did and 30 days later they were back on my credit report, I spoke to him again and he stated yes, I have all your documentation and we will go ahead and remove the information again. It has now been over 60 days and I'm still fighting with Transunion to remove the items as they not correct.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is against CashApp. My non-profit organization has an account that we were attempting to access after a sponsor transferred money into our account. CashApp requested new verification using a front/back scan of a driver 's license which do not work. 

After multiple failed attempts to scan the back of the license, we sent an email to CashApp Support on XX/XX/XXXX. They provided instructions for us to follow to reverify the account which we followed. However, we later received an email stating that we were being transferred to another department who could help further. 

We have followed up again on multiple occasions ( XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) via email and XXXX. 

NO ONE has called me yet from customer service! 

I now think that there is fraud involved as we can not access the account to cashout the {$1000.00} that is in the account.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Advertising — Confusing or misleading advertising about the card
Company: Netspend Corporation
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Today, XXXX/XXXX/19, I arrived home and found a letter in my mail from Netspend, a company I have never heard of before today. It was a first class letter ( which usually indicates something you have asked for specifically, not an advertisement ). In the letter was an ACTUAL debit/credit card, with my name embossed and a sticker on it asking me to call the number to activate it. I never applied for this card, as I said I had never heard of the company. 

This caused several moments of alarm, followed by several more of confusion. Now, I'm angry. This kind of business practice is deceptive, at best. I am smart, and in the prime of my life and even still this MIGHT have fooled me if I didn't take my time with it and do some research. What if a kid gets this ( as they have, according to other anecdotal information I have been able to discover with one quick internet search ), or an elderly person, or someone with a mild developmental XXXX, and they are confused and think it is something they asked for? Also available with a quick internet search is anecdotal information about a litany of crimes and malfeasant practices by this company. 

I ask that someone over there looks into this company 's business practices and try to prevent the OBVIOUS unethical and potentially dangerous situation this company 's form of " advertising '' is bound to result in. People have a right to not be victimized by these kinds of duplicitous and deceptive tactics employed by disreputable businesses trying to procure " customers ''. This is barely one step away from fraud. IF that far.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2019, my son, sister, brother-in-law, ex-husband and myself were all contacted by XXXX XXXX from AARS. Messages were left for all of us that he was contacting us regarding paperwork that had come across his desk and a lean was going to be put on property my sister owns. He gave the address and said to return his call to try to prevent this from happening. My sister has another message she kept, left by XXXX XXXX from the same company on XX/XX/XXXX, telling her he had my address and was coming to my home that day to deliver papers. If I wanted to keep him from doing that, I needed to call him back. 
I called back today and spoke with XXXX to clarify the issue, and he is trying to collect for a pay day loan, but insisted his company is a liaison between the attorney and he original debtor. He confirmed there has been no lawsuit filed, so I explained to him that he shouldn't be telling lies. He of course insisted it wasn't a lie. There have been other calls to my family, but we normally just ignore them.
