Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear TRANSUNION, I am writing to formally dispute the charge-off listed on my credit report. 
This dispute is based on several factors : 1. Data Breach Impact : My personal information was compromised during the UCV XXXX data breach. As a result, I believe this charge-off may be inaccurate or improperly handled due to unauthorized activity stemming from the breach. I request that you investigate this matter thoroughly.

2. Failure to Provide Form 1099-C : The creditor, Creditor Name, discharged my debt without notifying me or issuing a Form 1099-C as required under IRS guidelines for debts of {$600.00} or more. This omission violates reporting obligations and leaves the status of the debt unclear. 
3. Discharge Without Proper Notice : Under UCC 3-604, creditors must follow proper procedures when discharging debts, including providing written notice or documentation of cancellation. Creditor Name failed to adhere to these requirements, further invalidating the charge-off entry.

I request that you investigate this matter and remove the charge-off from my credit report if it is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. Enclosed are supporting documents, including evidence of the data breach and correspondence with the creditor regarding the missing Form 1099-C. 
Please notify me in writing of your findings within 30 days as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). If additional documentation is needed, feel free to contact me at ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is the third time you removed this debt and violated the my rights after this I have no choice to let my lawyer handle it! Follow the law!!!!!! 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Last four of social # XXXX

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Company : Affirm Product : Installment loan Issue : Charged for a service not received I used Affirm to finance a round-trip flight through XXXX. Due to a booking error, I accidentally selected the wrong departure date. I tried to correct it, but XXXX and XXXX XXXX refused to rebook or credit the flight, saying it was a bulk fare. I never boarded the flight and received no value from the ticket. I had to buy a new flight out-of-pocket. 

I filed a dispute with Affirm and provided documentation, including a replacement ticket and a call recording. Affirm denied the dispute, claimed the fare was non-refundable, and told me to contact XXXX though they had already closed the case. When I followed up, Affirm refused to provide any policy justification or proof from XXXX and continued to shift blame. 

I am now being charged monthly for a loan tied to a service I never received. I am also paying off a separate Affirm loan with no issue, but I do not believe I should be required to repay a charge for a flight that was never used and could not be corrected. I am requesting cancellation of this loan or a negotiated settlement. 

This has caused serious financial and emotional stress during a major relocation and life transition.

Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit Management ( MCM ) has called me a number of times recently asking me to settle a credit card debt with threats that they will take legal action and garnish my wages. 

I have advised MCM representatives that even though I am currently employed, I have a very tight budget, my family budget was in the negative after I made a budget recently and I have not been able to pay all of my credit card debt. 

My husband became ill and unable to work for over 2 years now and I pay rent and feed a family of 4.

I have advised MCM that I intend to file a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy as soon as possible, yet it has fallen on deaf ears and they keep contacting me multiple times throughout the week.

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 Regulations E. These actions has caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.
