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 proce was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding Equifaxs failure to properly investigate and remove fraudulent accounts and inquiries from my credit report after I was a victim of identity theft. Despite following the necessary procedures to dispute these errors, Equifax has ignored my requests and failed to take corrective action, negatively impacting my credit profile.

Steps Taken to Address Identity Theft and Dispute Errors XXXX. Filed an Identity Theft Report Upon discovering unauthorized accounts and inquiries on my credit report, I promptly filed an identity theft report with Federal Trade Commission on XX/XX/year>. A copy of this report was included in my dispute submission to Equifax. 
XXXX. Placed a Fraud Alert and Credit Freeze I requested and successfully placed a fraud alert on my credit file through all three major credit bureaus ( Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX ) and initiated a credit freeze to prevent further fraudulent activity. 
XXXX. Submitted Dispute to Equifax On XX/XX/year>, I formally submitted a dispute to Equifax, providing detailed information about the fraudulent accounts, including : A copy of my government-issued ID Proof of residence A police report/FTC Identity Theft Report Copies of statements showing fraudulent transactions A written statement explaining the disputed items XXXX. Followed Up on Dispute After not receiving a response within the legally required timeframe under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I contacted Equifax multiple times on XX/XX/year>, XXXX via certified mail to check the status of my dispute. 
XXXX. Received No Resolution from Equifax Despite providing all necessary documentation, Equifax has failed to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit file. They have either ignored my dispute, provided generic responses without investigation, or reinserted the fraudulent accounts without proper notification. 

Requested Action Due to Equifaxs noncompliance with FCRA regulations, I am requesting the CFPBs intervention to ensure that : Equifax fully investigates my dispute and permanently removes all fraudulent accounts and inquiries.

Equifax provides me with a written statement detailing the results of their investigation.

I receive a corrected credit report reflecting the removal of all fraudulent information.

Equifaxs failure to address my dispute has caused financial harm, including lowered credit scores, denied credit opportunities, and undue stress. I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax complies with federal regulations and properly corrects my credit report.

Thank you for your time and assistance in resolving this matter. Please feel free to contact me if further information is required. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Recent reports from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) indicate that Equifax has failed to properly investigate consumer disputes. A lawsuit has even been filed against Equifax for violating consumer protection laws by not complying with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Under federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), Equifax is required to thoroughly reinvestigate disputed items within 30 days and remove any information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Ignoring this obligation is a direct violation of my rights.

I am disputing the following negative items, which I strongly believe may be linked to a data breach : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$5700.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$13000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$29000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$15000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$4200.00} I have already provided supporting documentation multiple times, yet these errors persist. The lack of corrective action has caused me financial harm and unnecessary distress. 

I have a legal right to an accurate credit report, and I expect these items to be properly investigated and removed immediately.

The specific statutes that have been violated include : 15 U.S. Code 1681b Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports : Restricts access to credit reports without explicit consumer authorization or a legitimate purpose.

15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) Accuracy of Credit Reports : Requires consumer reporting agencies to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in credit reports.

15 U.S. Code 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) Exclusion of Certain Transactions from Consumer Reports : Specifies the types of information that should not appear on a credit report.

15 U.S. Code 6802 Obligations Regarding Disclosure of Personal Information : Mandates that financial institutions obtain a consumers consent before sharing personal financial information with third parties.

15 U.S. Code 6803 Disclosure of Privacy Policies : Institutions must provide clear and accurate disclosures of their privacy policies regarding how consumer data is shared.

18 U.S. Code 1028A Aggravated Identity Theft : Unauthorized use of personal identifying information may constitute identity theft, which carries serious legal consequences.

The inquiry I am disputing was made without my knowledge or written consent. This unauthorized inquiry is both inaccurate and a violation of my rights under the aforementioned statutes.

Given the legal implications, I respectfully request that you : Immediately remove the unauthorized inquiry from my credit report.

Ensure that your procedures for verifying inquiries comply with the above federal statutes.

Send me an updated copy of my credit report reflecting this correction.

I have attached copies of my identification and proof of my current address for verification purposes.
