Company: Block, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This concerns Cash App which is from Block , Inc. formerly known as Square. 

Summary of issue is as follows : Cash App had a promotion of getting a {$5.00} Cash Bonus for linking a bank account or debit card and sending {$5.00} within 14 days of using the promotion code. 

XXXX ) On XX/XX/2022 - XXXX downloaded Cash App and entered the promotion code of XXXX which is from my friend XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX ) On XX/XX/2022 - XXXX linked both a Bank Account and XXXX XXXX within 14 days of using the promotion code which was due XX/XX/2022.

Cash App the company in the transactions did send {$5.00} but it never made it to the account as the system rejected and returned the {$5.00} back to Cash App the company. 

All inquiries to Cash App had responses but they would not disclose the reason for not paying the {$5.00} as promised. I am a new Cash App user and this would be false and misleading advertising if they do not provide the cash bonus offer as they had promised.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
When using the Special Financing purchase option through PayPal, I purchased an item and interest began to accrue, however, if it was paid off in time then the charge is supposed to be labeled as " paid off ''. On multiple items that I purchased using the Special Financing purchase option, I later returned those items. Instead of Paypal erasing the special financing charges, they simply credited my account balance and left the charges on the special financing purchases list to continue accruing interest! So there are multiple charges on there for items that have been returned that aren't being erased and that are continuing to accrue interest which goes straight in to the pockets of Paypal. I spoke with a representative and they told me this was an error and doesn't happen often. However, it's definitely not an isolated incident and the only reason I caught was because I physically went through my statements. So there are probably thousands of people who are being charged interest for things they thought were returned and paid off!

Complaint narrative:
I received student loan forgiveness through a borrowers defense application being approved. The student loan servicer only put a small portion of the forgiveness on my loan and applied it to the interest only. After applying this my amount that is owed didn't change, I still owe the exact same amount and before the government payment pause even ended they have added more to my account that I now owe. I'm trying to figure out if I received the loan forgiveness how do I still owe the same amount and even more after this was supposed to be applied. I would like my loan amount to reflect the forgiveness.
