Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other service problem — 
Company: Block, Inc.
State: FL

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.

Complaint narrative:
Attempted to make payment on my account back in XXXX. Despite having the balance in my bank account, the payment was returned. I attempted to make the payment again and was unable to due to some system error. I called and attempted to make the payment over the phone and they got the same error and said to wait and try again. I did that and it still didnt work. I tried to use a different payment method and had the same result. A week later I tried again and it worked. They reported my payment as missed. I attempted to correct this with them and they told me I could have made a payment in other ways, such as in person. There is no physical location within hundreds of miles of my home, and was not made aware of any other method of payment prior to this point, or at that point, my only given option being try again later. I spoke to someone higher up to try and resolve this and they requested bank statements from me, which I provided, and emailed later to ask if they had received it and never got any response back. I assume at this point they are trying to just ignore my claim that I was unable to pay due to factors beyond my control and are just moving along

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
l am submitting this complaint regarding an unfair debt collection attempt by Aldous & Associates related to a gym membership at XXXX XXXX. I initially signed up out of curiosity but was never truly interested in the membership. I never visited the gym or used any services, and I forgot to cancel it. 

Recently, Aldous & Associates contacted me, demanding full payment for the membership. I just spoke with them on the phone, and they are refusing to cancel it or offer any resolution. They are insisting that I pay the full amount, even though I do not work and my only source of income is SSXXXX.

I attempted to explain my situation to Aldous & Associates, but they responded dismissively, saying, Im sorry you dont work, but we wont cancel it, so you still have to pay. I made it clear that I refuse to pay for something I never used and informed them that I would be filing a complaint. After that, I ended the call. 

After researching Aldous & Associates, I discovered numerous complaints against them on the Better Business Bureau website, which raises further concerns about their collection practices. 

I believe it is unfair to be forced to pay for a service I never used. This collection attempt is causing me financial distress, and I am requesting CFPBs assistance in disputing this charge and preventing further collection attempts.
