Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

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

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the inaccurate and misleading reporting of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account ( Account # : XXXX ) on my credit reports with Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Specifically, the payment history shows rolling 120 days past due each month for over two consecutive years, despite no activity since XX/XX/year>. This constitutes unlawful re-aging and misrepresentation in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation ), 1681e ( b ) ( failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy ), and 1681c ( obsolete information ).

These payment status updates artificially extend the delinquency period, damaging my credit standing and mischaracterizing the true age and nature of the account. There is no evidence of recurring delinquency or new payment activity to justify continued derogatory reporting. 

You were sent a Demand to Comply letter over 60 days ago. The letter which is dated and time stamped is attached for your reference. Additionally, the bureaus have failed to ensure consistency and data integrity. The comments and status descriptions differ significantly : TransUnion : Foreclosure initiated Experian : Foreclosure proceeding started Equifax : FORECLOSURE PROCESS STARTED FIXED RATE These inconsistencies further violate FCRA 1681e ( b ), demonstrating the data furnishers and CRAs are not upholding uniform and verifiable standards.

Given that my personal data was exposed in a prior data breach and that this account has never been properly verified with supporting documentation, I assert that its continued reporting without validation further violates 15 U.S. Code 1681a and 1681b, which prohibit the inclusion of unverifiable or unauthorized information.

I demand immediate deletion of this tradeline

Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed two late payments ( 30 and 60 days ) on XXXX XXXX XXXX that is inaccurate. I have maintained on-time payments since the inception of this account as it is on autopay and do not have documentation showing that this payment was legitimately 30 & 60 days late.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: TekCollect Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have been contacted multiple times by tekcollect.com, through phone, email, and mail, in regards to a debt I owe XXXX XXXX. I was actively paying this debt, to XXXX, for fuel delivered at the rate of {$50.00} every two weeks. I guess that wasn't good enough since they turned the remaining balance over to this collection agency. I found out when I went to make a XXXX payment to XXXX and tbey refused it unless I was willing to make the full payment, plus collection fee, of {$710.00}. This despite explaining each phone call that I ran into some financial trouble and the staff reassuring me that as long as I was paying something I would be fine. 

I have requested from TekCollect, with each call, to be provided a way to make these payments, preferably electronically. The first two ladies contacted me within a day of each other, they each said they would email me the details as there is no link on their website where I can make any payments. After a few weeks another lady called and I requested again explaining it would already be paid off if I were given the information I requested. She claimed she was going to send this request to her supervisor but then I heard nothing. 

Friday, XX/XX/year>, I used their website to send them a message again requesting a way to make payments but have heard no reply. 

My current theory is they are going to try to get even more money in litigation at a courthouse I have no ability to make myself present, which will grant their motion by default. 

I can't think of any other reason why TekCollect would choose to ignore me when I'm actively trying to pay off my debt which is affecting my credit. Again, I tried to pay XXXX directly but they refused my payment unless I could make a full payment of {$710.00} I don't know what else I can do.
