Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I have received dozens of phone calls from Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC, XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Phone # XXXX over the last 12 months. The calls come from phone # 's in area codes all over the US and all list a toll free # to call back. The numbers on caller ID appear to be " spoofed " but the toll free # does call back to Portfolio Recovery. They always leave a message regarding some debt to be settled and always call my ( XXXX ) XXXX #. When I've contacted the company they often say that I have no account with Portfolio Recovery and they have never called me. Other times they say they will remove my number from the call list- however calls keep coming ( 2 last week ). I have blocked any call from Portfolio Recovery so my phone # will not answer but records it as a missed call. I think Portfolio Recovery has a bunch of individuals who are representing the company and at least some of them are engaged in attempts to illegally collect debt. I believe the company is aware of these efforts but hides behind these " associates '' to avoid being sued.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information reported on my credit file. Below, I provide details of the issue and request its removal from my credit report. 

Account Name : NORDSTROM/TD BANK USA Account Number : XXXX Inaccuracy Identified : The account reflects the status Account charged off. {$1400.00} written off. {$1400.00} past due as of XX/XX/XXXX, which is inconsistent with the provided payment history and account details : 1. Payment History : The 24-month payment history inaccurately marks all months from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX as delinquent ( shown in red ). However, this does not align with the last payment date of XX/XX/XXXX, and the status update of XX/XX/XXXX. The account should not reflect ongoing delinquencies after it was already charged off and closed. 
2. Past Due Amount : The account lists {$1400.00} as past due as of XX/XX/XXXX, despite being charged off and closed years earlier. Reporting this balance as past due is misleading and potentially incorrect, as a charged-off account should not have an actively past-due balance. 
3. Comments : The report includes a note stating that the Account previously in dispute investigation complete, reported by data furnisher. However, the ongoing inaccuracies indicate that the investigation may not have fully resolved the discrepancies. 

Requested Resolution : Remove the account entirely from my credit report, as the inconsistencies in reporting suggest it may not be accurate or verifiable under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I have attached copies of my credit report highlighting these inaccuracies for your reference. Please notify me in writing of the results of your investigation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your resolution within the time period allotted under the FCRA. 

Let me know if youd like further modifications.

Company: Block, Inc.

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.
