Company: Block, Inc.

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

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Problem related to refinancing
Company: AC AutoPay LLC, Denver, CO Branch
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I selected an auto refinance loan offer from XXXX XXXX that reduces my current interest rate by 2 %. The brokering company was AutoPay. The loan documents were signed electronically and couldnt be accessed and reviewed without an access code. I signed them over the phone with the loan specialist I worked with. He provided the access code and walked me through where to sign, but didnt review any of the terms of the loan. The documents were not sent to me for my records following this session. I didnt find out what terms I apparently agreed to until I logged into the app for the new lien holder and found that the loan amount was {$6000.00} more than the payoff from the previous loan and the interest rate was only 0.01 % less than the original loan. 
I have requested the loan documents and an explanation from the new lien holder ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), the AutoPay loan specialist who facilitated the loan, and AutoPay as a general information request. I received nothing from AutoPay and XXXX simply told me that I would need to take it up with AutoPay, which is proving to be quite difficult.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year>, Mohela submitted 5 delinquent/duplicate files to Experian, all in different amounts that lowered my credit score over XXXX pts in one day.

The individual amounts they submitted for one month are : {$4000.00} {$1000.00} {$2400.00} {$1900.00} {$3700.00} XX/XX/year> XXXX delinquent files were submitted with no amounts due, to XXXX XXXX I did file a dispute with Experian and their response was as follows.

Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Nelnet due to severe and unjustified negative credit reporting that has significantly impacted my financial standing. My credit report was recently updated to reflect late payment entries from Nelnet student loan, which has caused my credit score to drop by over XXXX points. This action was taken without any prior notice, warning, or correspondenceI did not receive any emails, letters, or alerts informing me of this drastic change before it was reported to the credit bureaus. 

Additionally, I have become aware of an ongoing data breach involving student loan accounts, which raises serious concerns regarding unauthorized access to my personal and financial information raising concerns over a FERPA violation. Given this security lapse, I have reason to believe that my account records may have been compromised or altered without my consent. 

I am in the process of purchasing a home and this has caused my loan to be halted until this is remedied. This has caused extreme financial distress and this error in reporting needs to be remedied immediately. I did not authorize any changes to my account status, and I no longer feel comfortable having my student loans serviced and reported to the credit bureaus under these conditions. 

Violations and Consumer Protection Rights 1. Failure to Provide Notice of Negative Credit Reporting - Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), loan servicers are required to provide accurate and fair reporting. I was not notified in advance that these accounts would be marked late, which denied me the opportunity to address any potential issues before they were reported.

2. Possible Unauthorized Reporting and Account Compromise Due to Data Breach - The reported data breach involving Nelnet raises serious questions about the integrity of my loan accounts. If my data was exposed or manipulated, Nelnet may have
incorrectly or fraudulently reported late payments that I did not actually incur.

3. Failure to Properly Investigate and Verify Account Status - Given the security risks and errors in reporting, I request full verification and documentation proving the legitimacy of the late payments, including a detailed account history showing how and when they were marked late.
