Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Block, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Cash App to dispute a transaction. They told me I had to take it up with my bank. Even though my bank had nothing to do with it, it was Cash Apps fault. I sent {$200.00} to a friend on Cash App and I had it on Cash app. They took it from my bank and Cash app at the same time. I contacted my bank and they refunded me my money. I was satisfied with that. I figured they would figure it out. Then a couple months later Cash app puts me in the XXXX. My bank account ended up getting closed bacause of this and I know it was only XXXX but it came at the worst time possible and caused a snowball effect. I don't know they can get away with that. Not only got away with it but every time i called customer service they hung up on me. I never cussed or was even remotely rude. Please help.
