Complaint narrative:
When utilizing our HELOC we had an initial promotional draw at 0.99 % ( $ XXXX around XX/XX/2022 ) and then a subsequent draw at the terms ( currently 9.82 % ) for $ XXXX ( around XX/XX/2022 ). 

While trying to make a payment towards the higher interest payment the statement references " For accounts with Promotional Balances outstanding, principal payments above the minimum payment will be applied to balances with lower APRs before balances with higher APRs, until the balances with lower APRs are paid off ''. I do not recall this being disclosed up front and when talking to customer service on XX/XX/XXXX they confirmed there is no way to apply payments directly to the higher interest rate balance ( $ XXXX ). If I had known this in the beginning I would have leveraged a larger draw up front.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Freeze was removed from account by a bad actor who apparently changed the login information for Experian. They provided me with access to the account when I was notified by a creditor of an attempt to get credit in my name. I changed the information back and updated the password. The issue I have is that we could not turn on Multi factor authentication. Then overnight the information again was changed by a bad actor. When I called back, they could not get me back into the account and only offered an escalation with a call back sometime in the future. I am concerned with the weak security posture of Experian and the ability of someone to change information in their system without any confirmation or notice to the existing email or an MFA notification. 

For an organization that I have no choice to engage with, to have such a poor security posture is a disservice to everyone who needs to use the credit system.

You have no rights to report this bankruptcy in my credit report! There are different date file/reported and even the closing dates. This is also a XXXX bankruptcy which means fresh start but this is the reason why I can't get a fresh start because of you reporting this bankruptcy! This is absurd!

Company: Block, Inc.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 at about XXXX or XXXXXXXX XXXX. I tried transferring {$1.00}, XXXX from my cash app account to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  account. I was unaware at the time that XXXX  only allows transfers up to {$1000.00} So my transfer was rejected by XXXX. On cash apps end though it shows as being completed. No after reaching out to both companies over a XXXX period being told by both banks that I am to contact the other bank. After about day XXXX XXXX cash app employees decided to just plain hang up on me telling me there's no other information they can provide me. Both banks just keep pointing the finger at each other giving me no resolution to the problem. My money should have gone from Cash app to XXXX, But the transfer was rejected with XXXX  telling me that the money should have been sent back to cash app but cash app and their employees just keep telling me that the transfer was completed and now over {$1000.00} of my money is just sitting in limbo with no one offering an actual solution or to resolve this issue. As you'll be able to see in the attached screenshots the money says completed on cash apps end but then you'll see in another screenshot from my XXXX  account that that money never arrived.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I received a phone call saying I owed {$4200.00} to the national credit system. I told them the debt was not mine and they said through phone call that I would be receiving mail including more detail. That was the extent of the help. I did not know I can dispute it until I looked online. I filed police report, filed identity theft report with the FTC, called the original creditor, and the original creditor said it was not my social or birthday used, the person only had the same name. I think there was a mistake made on the part of the collection agency.
