Issue: Other transaction 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 affective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected. Furthermore, their resolution dispute process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the electric funds transfer act ( EFTA ) and regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss and I see appropriate redress for these violations.

Your actions appear to be in violation of federal laws, specifically the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692c ( c ), I hereby revoke any and all permissions to contact me regarding this matter. Any further communication, other than as explicitly permitted by law ( such as providing written notice of termination of collection efforts or intent to pursue legal remedies ), will be considered a violation of federal law and subject to legal action. 

Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1692e, debt collectors are prohibited from using false, deceptive, or misleading representations in connection with the collection of a debt.

If you believe this debt is valid, you are required under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) to provide me with proper validation, including the original creditors information, a breakdown of the alleged amount owed, and evidence that you have the legal right to collect this debt. Failure to do so will be taken as an acknowledgment that no such debt is legally enforceable. 

If you fail to comply with this cease and desist request, I will have no choice but to pursue all legal remedies available to me, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney Generals office.
