Company: Block, Inc.
State: LA

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 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:
TransUnion has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has recently filed a lawsuit against TransUnion, alleging systematic issues such as failing to forward consumer- provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses and failing to adequately notify consumers of disputed outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where TransUnion has neither corrected or removed disputed items despite the evidence that I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action, as TransUnion 's, inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.
