Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I used Square ( XXXX ) to process a single payment from a guitar repair customer through my small business. After attempting to transfer the funds to my debit card ( first my personal card, as I had it on hand ), I received an unexpected email stating that my account was being deactivated and that Square would be holding my funds for 90 dayswithout any explanation provided. 

I called customer service and was told by the first representative that he didnt know why the account was deactivated, but that he would escalate the issue and call me back within 20 minutes. I never received a callback. When I called again two hours later, the second representative refused to check for any notes, refused to give any reason for the deactivation, and told me she would not transfer me to a manager. When I informed her I was recording the call for documentation purposes, she stated I was not allowed to do so ( even though Square records calls themselves ) and abruptly hung up on me.

Now, when I call Square, I only receive automated messages with no option to speak to a person. I have not been given any reason for the deactivation, I have no access to my account, and Square is still holding funds that were never transferred. 

This has caused unnecessary financial hardship and a complete lack of transparency from Square. I am requesting the immediate release of my funds and a full explanation for the account closure.

Company: MARINER FINANCE, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX regarding the misapplication of loan payments on my account, XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

Over the course of my loan, I made several payments in advance and in excess of the required minimum amount. However, after reviewing my account history and statements, I discovered that these overpayments were not applied toward reducing the principal balance. Instead, they were applied toward future scheduled payments or interest, without my knowledge or consent. 

At no point was I advised that I needed to specifically designate payments as " principal only '' in order for them to be allocated accordingly. I was also not informed of any company policy requiring such designation. This lack of transparency directly impacted the interest I was charged and has undermined my ability to reduce my debt efficiently. 

I attempted to contact XXXX XXXX through the email address listed on their website ( XXXX ), but the address is invalid. I have since contacted other addresses on file but have not received a meaningful response or resolution. 

I am requesting that CFPB investigate this issue and assist in ensuring that XXXX XXXX reviews my past overpayments, reallocates any qualifying amounts toward principal, and provides written clarification of their policies regarding advance payments. 

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on any next steps or additional documentation needed.
