Complaint narrative:
Dear SECU I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring a serious matter to your attention regarding an incident I experienced With one of the workers outside the branch which I believe requires immediate attention at a higher level. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I reported a staff member at your [ XXXX location ) for making threats against me & harassing me over a guy we currently have a open court case open as well ( cross warrants ) I tried to reach out to you guys but the same guy seems to put me on hold well today my friend called to file a complaint as well similar to the situation at how ugly she is to my friend when she comes into the bank well I get a screenshot from a tremendous amount of people who are friends with the defendant on social media ( photos will be attached ) the post stated that only a XXXX XXXXXXXX would call my job like its not recorded or traced XXXX well its funny because she called private & my name was never mentioned and the defendants name wasnt mentioned neither so it sounds to me like you guys are accusing me of false accusations according to your worker! And it Also sounds like to me that this is XXXX XXXX against the law im actually more then sure that it is and if it is not handled correctly court will be my next step with all parties involved that is very unprofessional and it has started something back up that caused your co worker to put it on social media and talk about me more on social media platforms that should have been kept confidential because again no names where never said even the defendants name seems fishy to me ( pics and videos will be attached of your coworker! ) The issue was urgent and I trusted that my complaint would be handled in a confidential manner. However, I was deeply concerned when the branch manager contacted the aggressor and disclosed my personal information, despite my request for anonymity. This breach of confidentiality has left me feeling vulnerable and betrayed, especially given the serious nature of the initial complaint. 
I kindly ask that this matter be escalated to the appropriate authorities within Secu Bank. I would appreciate a thorough investigation into the actions of both the employee in question and the manager, who may have mishandled the situation. The safety and privacy of your customers should be a top priority, and I trust that Secu Bank will take the necessary steps to address this breach and ensure that this situation does not happen again. 
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your response and to hearing how you plan to rectify the situation. 
Sincerely, ( XXXX XXXX ) ( XXXX )

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:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and 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 reported to be removed/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. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 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!
