Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Block, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) for violating the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and its implementing regulation, Regulation E 12 CFR 1005.11.

I submitted a timely dispute through Cash Apps internal process regarding a fraudulent/unauthorized transaction. Despite following their instructions, Cash App failed to provide a provisional credit and denied my dispute without giving any explanation or documentary support justifying the denial. This is a clear violation of my consumer protection rights under federal law.

Under 12 CFR 1005.11 ( c ) ( 2 ) ( i ), Cash App was required to provisionally credit my account for the disputed amount if they could not complete their investigation within 10 business days. There is no evidence that this standard was met. Furthermore, 12 CFR 1005.11 ( d ) requires that a financial institution provide written explanation of their findings, including documentation relied upon. Cash App gave neither. 

Their response simply stated the case was closed and that no further action would be taken no facts, no analysis, no compliance with the law. I was left financially burdened and without recourse.

Their conduct shows blatant disregard for legal obligations under EFTA and Regulation E, and I respectfully request regulatory enforcement if appropriate.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: Ascent Holding Co
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, XXXX ( formerly XXXX XXXX ) notified me that the balance of my private student loan would be cleared due to a violation of the terms of our agreement. This was acknowledged internally by XXXX, and my account reflected a balance reduction months before but as reflected in my XX/XX/XXXX bill. My Slack account and platform access were then terminated where I had temporarily screen shot the proof. I deleted months later as I saw my balance was dropped. They are now ignoring my emails and there is no where I can call to get this proof again. 

Later on, without any new agreement, notification, or consent from me, the loan balance was reinstated XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX claimed this was due to an " error '' when communicating with the lender, but I was never notified of this change, nor was a new contract presented or signed. 

The reinstated loan was subsequently passed to collections without warning. I was not contacted about the status change and I had previously filed many complaints. As of XX/XX/XXXX on the phone with Ascent funding, whom I provided these complaints too multiple times ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) I asked what did you do regarding these complaints? He said they reached out to the school, could not state how they reached out, or what the school in turn said. He can't see any outcome from any of the complaints, and yet they passed my debt to a debt collector anyway. 

I have since attempted to regain access to my account to retrieve documentation of the original balance removal, but XXXX has not responded. I submitted previous complaints ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) and received no follow-up, nor was I notified of any resolution. XXXX changed the recorded balance to {$920.00} at XXXX point, then reinstated it again the current debt totals over {$16000.00}. With no new contract, unresolved complaints, poor communication, and handing it off to a debt collector who has no idea of these complaints or change to the billing- whom I called today XX/XX/XXXX. 

This conduct appears deceptive and potentially unlawful. Reinstating a private student loan without notification or a signed agreement, and then sending it to collections, violates basic consumer protections. I am requesting that my account be restored, documentation be provided, and this matter be investigated for legal violations.

XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Experian, I am formally dispute and request the removal of inaccurate and incomplete credit information from my credit profile. It has come to my attention that the information listed below is inaccurate, and I am deeply concerned about the lack of accuracy and diligence in your operations to ensure the accuracy of the credit reports you publish. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ), it is mandated by federal law that credit bureaus verify the accuracy of any and all accounts they report by physically verifying the original signed consumer contract. Failure to adhere to this requirement leaves room for the inclusion of fraudulent accounts, which could have serious repercussions for individuals such as myself. I hereby demand to see verifiable proof, in the form of an original consumer contract bearing my signature, for the accounts detailed below. Without such evidence, it is imperative that the account be promptly removed from my credit report. Accounts in question : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account - XXXX
