State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Hello I've already gotten with a landlord-tenant attorney. He said my best course of action would be to file the collection claim with the credit bureaus XXXX has already removed this iff my credit report do the the videos and photos I provided of them saying I left the apartment in damaged conditions due to pets. In those videos and photos you see the apartment having a huge leak in several places of the apartment ruining my belongings. They claimed i owed them for the carpets and cleaning but never offered to replace carpets or clean them when I lived there. Mold grew all along the walls and floors where it leaked. I do have enough to take them court and even seek reimbursement for personal belongings damaged however I work way too much to have time to do so. XXXX has been reviewing my dispute for over 60 days which I now come to you for requesting the immediate removal of that remark if able. XXXX XXXX XXXX was the original dispute but they since pushed my balance to national credit systems. This apartment complex is known for praying on people in a tight financial situation and trying to do this to prior clients that don't renew. I told the landlord at the time that it was completely inappropriate to try and blame me for the damages and need for cleaning and she cussed at me and laughed at me. During my time there and of the flooding they put a workstation fan on the carpet to " dry up the water '' but they only had one and it was about the size of a desk fan. They then proceeded to leave it plugged in with other tools laying in my apartment and barged in to collect them in the morning when I was in bed with my girlfriend at the time with no warning. They ran this place like a mob boss. Except very poorly and with somehow less class. Reports with XXXX  and XXXX active still

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.
