Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Dear Equifax Dispute Department, I am writing to formally dispute the following unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report. After reviewing my Equifax credit report, I noticed inquiries that I did not authorize. I request that these inquiries be removed from my credit file immediately. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), unauthorized hard inquiries should not be reported on my credit file. I did not apply for credit with these entities, nor did I give permission for them to access my credit report. Please conduct an investigation and provide documentation proving that I authorized these inquiries. If no such documentation exists, I request that they be removed immediately.

To assist in your investigation, I have attached copies of my identification and a copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed inquiries.

Please provide a written response confirming the results of your investigation. If these inquiries are not removed, I request a detailed explanation along with proof of my authorization. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681b ( f ), a company may only access my credit report if I have given explicit, verifiable permission or if they have a permissible purpose as defined by law. Since I did not authorize these inquiries, they constitute a violation of my consumer rights under federal law.

Additionally, FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires credit reporting agencies to investigate and correct any inaccurate information within 30 days. If Equifax can not provide proof of my written authorization for these inquiries, they must be immediately deleted from my credit file.

Failure to comply with these legal obligations may result in legal action, including but not limited to : Filing a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Pursuing legal remedies for willful noncompliance under FCRA 1681n, which allows for statutory damages, attorney fees, and possible punitive damages. I demand that Equifax immediately remove these unauthorized inquiries or provide documented proof that I expressly permitted them. If you fail to do so within the legally required 30-day period, I will take further action to enforce my rights.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Bread Financial which offers the Bread Cashback Card through XXXX XXXX has a payment system that does not accurately inform the consumer when automatic payments will process. 

When enrolling for automatic payments, it takes between XXXX and two billing cycles for the system to start taking payments as configured by the consumer.

Communication from Breads team and website say that you ( consumer ) should make a manual payment for each of these months unless the pending payments page states that a payment is scheduled.

Unfortunately, the pending payments page has never been accurate for automatic payments, not displaying anything until after the fact. This week, when I process a manually initiate a payment for the balance due, there was no pending payments outlined for auto pay. This has resulted in an overdraft of my checking account to which Bread says they are not willing to help assist to remedy.

I feel this is poor business practice because their technology does not offer the proper information to accurately manage an account.

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.
