Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing in response to your recent communication regarding the items on my credit report. Let me be absolutely clear : I never claimed that these accounts do not belong to me. What I have consistently disputed is that the information being reported is inaccurate, not that the accounts are mine. The inaccurate reporting of these accounts is causing significant damage to my credit score, and I demand immediate action to have this information corrected.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, you are legally obligated to conduct a reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report within 30 days. Furthermore, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) clearly states that if any information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete, it must be deleted from the reportnot merely updated. Updating inaccurate information is a violation of federal law, as it does not correct the underlying issue, and it continues to damage my credit score. 

In your communication, you indicate that certain information has been " updated. '' I want to emphasize that updating inaccurate information does not meet the legal requirement for correcting errors. If the information in question can not be fully verified as accurate and complete, it must be removed entirely from my credit report. 

I demand the immediate deletion of the following items that are inaccurately reported XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Any Inquiries that do not meet accuracy standards I have included the following documentation to assist you in your reinvestigation : A copy of my drivers license and copy of my social security card This documentation proves my identity and further substantiates the need for immediate correction.

Failure to fully remove the inaccurate information within the required 30-day period will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB ) and pursue legal action. You must be fully aware that the FCRA affords me the right to accurate information on my credit report, and I will take whatever steps are necessary to enforce my rights. 

I expect this matter to be resolved promptly, with all inaccurate information completely deleted from my credit file. If I do not receive confirmation of the deletions within the statutory time frame, I will seek further legal remedies. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I keep an overdraft line of credit on my checking account and in early XXXX I overdrafted by {$22.00}. I paid that balance 6 days later in the amount that was shown on my account, {$22.00}. There was no option through PenFed 's online system to " pay in full '' or " pay balance '' it was just a form field to type in the exact amount shown on the screen or any other typed in amount I choose. In XXXX I received a {$5.00} late payment fee. My balance on this account showed as XXXX in their system. I even tried to pay the {$5.00} and it said I had a XXXX balance and I was unable to complete the transaction. The only information on the screen was that the " minimum payment due : {$5.00} '' or " estimated payoff amount : {$5.00} '' but I had no idea which I should pay, nor would the system let me pay it anyway. Then I got a letter saying that my account was overdue, my loan balance was XXXX and that the " total past due amount '' is {$15.00}. 

First, I have no idea why I was charged a {$5.00} late fee on a XXXX balance. Second, I have no idea what amount I'm supposed to pay for the system to correct itself. Third, I have no idea how to pay this amount as the online system won't accept a payment on a XXXX balance. 

I've attached screenshots of these notices and the online payment systems messages.

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 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.
