Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App XXXX Block Inc ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violates the Costumer 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.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing the accuracy and completeness of the credit reporting associated with my closed account from Comenity Bank/Children 's Place ( CCB/CHLDPLCE ) The account is currently listed as a charge-off with a {$0.00} balance, marked as closed in XX/XX/year>, and showing purchased by another lender. However, there are multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including : Derogatory and late payment reporting continues well after the account was closed, which is inconsistent with industry standards. 

The status remains charge-off despite a {$0.00} balance and the account being closed, with no clarification or correction regarding resolution. 

The reporting history shows inconsistent use of derogatory and late markers for months after the last activity and closing date. 

The account is marked as purchased by another lender yet still appears active under CCB/CHLDPLCE with negative impact. 


Under FCRA, all information furnished to the credit bureaus must be accurate, verifiable, and current. Based on the errors listed above, this account appears to be incomplete and unverifiable. 

I am requesting the permanent deletion of this account from all credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  ). Any failure to do so will be treated as willful noncompliance under FCRA and may be subject to further escalation.

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.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America has failed to conduct a proper investigation. They have violated 15 usc 1681s-2b A-E and they have not even considered all relevant information regarding the dispute because the inaccuracies are all the same still. This account was also not even marked as disputed on my credit reports so this is a clear indication that these disputes were not processed correctly. This is a violation of 1681n and 1681o for being negligent and willfully non compliant. These debts are also been securitized in a trust so Bank of America does not even own the debt anymore. Which is another inaccuracy for putting on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Investigation and Removal of Inaccurate Credit Reporting Under FCRA Due to Potential Data Breach To the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau : I am writing to formally request your assistance in investigating inaccurate and potentially fraudulent information currently reported on my credit files by one or more of the major credit reporting agencies ( Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion ). 

I have reason to believe that a recent data breach affecting the major credit bureaus may have resulted in the compromise of my personal credit information. As a result, I am seeing incorrect and damaging entries on my credit reports, including : Inaccurate addresses Incorrect phone numbers Negative account entries that do not belong to me Potential mixed file issues Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681, consumers are guaranteed the right to accurate and fair credit reporting. Specifically, 1681e ( b ) requires that consumer reporting agencies follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 

Given these inaccuracies and the likelihood of a data breach being the root cause, I respectfully request that the CFPB initiate a formal investigation and compel the credit reporting agencies to : Remove all inaccurate or unverifiable negative information from my credit files ; Conduct a full reinvestigation of any disputed entries, as required under 1681i ; Provide written verification of any items they claim to have verified as accurate ; Correct all personal identifying information to ensure my credit file is not being mixed with others or fraudulently accessed. 

I have disputed this information with the credit bureaus, and either received inadequate responses or no resolution. Therefore, I am requesting the CFPB 's assistance in ensuring compliance with federal law and protecting my consumer rights. 

Please advise if further documentation or identity verification is needed to proceed. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Presently, my loan balance stands at $ XXXX figure that has remained virtually unchanged for over XXXX months, despite having received a consolidation loan from XXXX specifically intended to pay off my prior consolidation loan with Navy Federal . I knew I would be about {$15000.00} short, and that was fineI anticipated this and planned accordingly. My strategy was straightforward : make consistent payments and accelerate my payoff timeline by applying additional funds to the principal. As of today, I can pay it off at XXXX but they keep charging me more although I am ahead of my payment schedule. 

However, Ive now discovered that despite making extra payments, none of them are reducing the principal. When I contacted Navy Federal for clarity, their explanation was as absurd as it was revealing : they are forcibly allocating my additional payments to interest even though I am already ahead on scheduled payments. In effect, they are weaponizing interest against borrowers who act in good faith.

This is a betrayal not only of me, but of every Veteran who trusted these institutions to operate with integrity. Ive seen this behavior increasingly from both Navy Federal and now XXXX, institutions that claim to " serve those who serve. '' When did it become acceptable banking policy to punish XXXX for trying to get out of debt faster? When did honoring your financial obligations ahead of schedule become a liability rather than a virtue? 

This is not just my problemits a systemic threat to every Veteran who thinks theyre doing the right thing by paying ahead. These deceptive practices are cloaked in fine print and only reveal their damage once its too late. I demand to know exactly where in the loan agreement these policies are buried, because I intend to make this public. Veterans across the nation deserve to know the truth before theyre caught in the same trap. 

To date, Ive paid over {$9100.00} in interestmoney extracted under the guise of service, yet emblematic of predatory greed. How much more do you plan to siphon from the very people who put on the uniform and honored their oath? When will this financial abuse end? 

This is more than a grievanceits a call to action. I will not stand by while fellow XXXX  are manipulated and held XXXX by institutions that claim to support them. Enough is enough.
