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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my credit reports I noticed that Equifax is alleging that the following accounts are negative without furnishing any proof of verification of these debt or that they followed all laws and regulations to report. As you know it is against the law to report any information not proven accurate. I demand that you provide me with concrete evidence of my obligation to said accounts. Please be aware that all negative remarks found on my credit report is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA when you can not furnish the validity of the remark ( s ). The FCRA also has recently banned medical bills on credit reports yet its are still reporting on my report.

I have sent numerous letter to the follow debt collectors requesting proof that I am indeed the party they are asking to pay this debt, contractual obligation which is binding on me to pay these debts. I have yet to receive proof. Equifax can no longer report If they are unable to provide the full reports of how they validated, verified, and how they are in compliance then these accounts needs to be removed IMMEDIATELY via FCRA section 609.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer provided evidence to furnishes, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed accounts as Experian inaction violated federal law and my right as a consumer.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's 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 CFPB 's finding indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have tried on several occasions via CFPB, phone calls and direct disputes through Equifax to send me documentation on how they were verifying the XXXXXXXX XXXX account reported on my credit report. I specifically ask them to give me the names, phone number and person or persons theyve spoken with that verified the account. They continuously tell me that they do not have to furnish that information. This company was recently sued by CFPB for not properly investigating accounts. I am writing again to formally dispute information on my credit report. This dispute is submitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), U.S.C. 1681, which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed items. Recent finds by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) have brought to light significant concerns regarding Equifax failure to conduct proper investigations. Specifically, in a lawsuit filed against Equifax, the CFPB alleges that the company engaged in sham investigations, violating consumer protection laws by failing to meet its obligations under FCRA. As per 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Equifax is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of disputed items within 30 days. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ), and information found to be inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable must be properly deleted or corrected. Failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of federal law.
