I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block Inc ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violates 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.

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted to contact Equifax, Experian and XXXX for my credit score. Signing on to the credit bureaus is a constant struggle each of them are offering you a product to improve your credit score. Basically to sign up for their program and or affiliates. It makes navigating the web page difficult and makes me feel as though I need to purchase something to receive my credit report and credit score. Furthermore I file bankruptcy about 6 years ago, I am aware it stays on my report for 7 years, however, I have since purchased a home and demonstrated good credit and my score is on a constant decline. My credit reflects on time payments and even accounts paid off. When I ask how is this possible I am not given a straight answer. How can the companies in charge of my publishing my credit report be fair if they are constantly trying to sell me their products? With the economy the way that it is a low credit can be devastating! There has to be a better way for consumers.
