Complaint narrative:
I ordered a replacement Cash Card from Cash App due to my current Cash Card being damaged. When I received my new Cash Card, I activated it and was able to add it to XXXX XXXX, but every attempted transaction I made with XXXX XXXX was declined. I contacted Cash App about this and they said to contact XXXX, who said that the Cash Card was not working due to Cash App not having activated the replacement Cash Card. I had activated the replacement XXXX XXXX when I received it, but apparently it was not showing as activated on Cash Apps end. So I contacted Cash App once again so that they could activate my Cash Card correctly, and they declined to do so and said that they were unable to allow my Cash Card to be used with XXXX XXXX  for security reasons. So I ordered a new replacement Cash Card hoping that this would resolve the issue, but now I can not use my Cash Card at all due to the new replacement Cash Card also being declined at every instance. My Cash Card is my only method of payment, meaning that I am unable to pay for any basic necessities because of an error by Cash App.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
am writing to dispute the reporting on my credit file regarding a closed charged-off account associated with Loan Account It has come to my attention that there are inaccuracies in the information being reported, which is in direct violation of established credit reporting regulations.

The discrepancies are as follows : 1. Reporting a Closed Charged-Off Account as Past Due : The account is inaccurately listed as past due, even though it has been closed and charged off. This misrepresentation is negatively impacting my credit profile and is not reflective of the accounts current status.

2. Discrepancies in Balances : The written-off amount is documented as {$3900.00}, whereas the reported past due amount stands at {$7800.00}. This inconsistency raises concerns about the accuracy of the information provided and is in violation of credit reporting standards. 

These discrepancies are affecting my creditworthiness and financial standing. I kindly request that you promptly investigate and rectify these inaccuracies to bring the reporting in line with the actual status of the account. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to accurate and up-to-date information on my credit report. Failure to address and correct these discrepancies within the required timeframe may compel me to take legal action to protect my rights.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that you provide written confirmation of the resolution and the updated information submitted to the credit bureaus. 

Thank you for your cooperation in resolving this matter promptly.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a debt collection for the company named : Radius Global Solutions LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX on the date XX/XX/2023. 

I wrote back a debt validation letter with certified mail on XX/XX/2023, asking for them to verify that the debt belonged to me. It has now been 66 business days, as it is now XX/XX/2023 and I have yet to receive one piece of validation letter from the company. Which leads me to believe they are either scammers or they are attempting to illegally collect debt. By scaring me into paying a large amount of money without providing me any evidence that it even belongs to me. 

I waited patiently for a potential validation letter ; instead, I received an offer letter to pay a percentage of the " debt '' without providing any of the documents I requested to verify the debt. They sent the offer letter around XX/XX/2023, but have yet to validate the debt for over 30 days. 

I did my part and sent them a validation letter within the allotted 30-day time frame. Below, I have attached the debt validation letter with proof of the receipt from certified mail that the company has received it, copies of the collection letters.
