Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I come here to file 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 fraud and to 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. I come seeking appropriate redress for these violations.

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I was contacted via cellular text message from an unknown number claiming to be " Credence Resource Management , LLC, '' a debt collector. The supposed debt collector included a suspicious link indicating that it was an important notice for " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' Additionally, they provided a phone number to call. I am a cautious consumer and do not click on suspicious links that are received via text. I avoid anything that appears as though it could be a scam or phishing attempt. Further, my cellular provider warned me that this could be " smishing or phishing. '' NONE of the following REQUIRED information was provided in the initial communication ( the text message ) : 1. Your name and mailing information, along with the name and mailing information of the debt collector 2. The account number associated with the debt ( if any ) 3. An itemization of the current amount of the debt that reflects interest, fees, payments, and credits since a particular date 4. The current amount of the debt when the notice is provided 5. An end date for a 30-day period when you can dispute the debt Upon calling the number provided to inquire about the text message, I was informed that the debt collector is, in fact, " Credence Resource Management , LLC, '' and was additionally informed of the amount of the debt and the creditor. The mailing information for Credence Resource Management was not provided, nor was any associated account number, nor any avenue for how the debt could be properly disputed. Upon my requesting that I receive the letter of debt validation and all associated information related to the supposed debt, I was informed that the letter would be mailed within 7-10 business days. This is beyond the 5-day maximum mandated by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. When I informed the collection agency of their blatant disregard for the law and requested that the information be emailed immediately, they again stated that I would have a 5-business day wait to receive the letter via email. The representative later indicated that I may have to wait up to 30 days to receive all associated information regarding the debt. I again gave the representative an opportunity to abide by the law and reiterated that this information must be provided to the consumer within 5 days of initial contact ( by XX/XX/year> ). I requested that the information be sent via email and as of writing this on XX/XX/year>, have not received the debt validation letter or any additional associated information via email or postal service.

Im writing to express my concerns regarding Zelle handling of disputes, in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBS findings indicate that Zelle hasnt only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams.This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Dispute of Charged-Off Account and Missing 1099-C Form Dear Discover Bank, I am writing to dispute the information reported regarding my account, the " charged off '' status that has been indicated. According to IRS guidelines, when a debt is charged off, the creditor is required to issue a Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt. 
As of today, I have not received the 1099-C form for this account, and I believe this constitutes a failure on your part to meet IRS reporting requirements. I am requesting that you either : 1. Provide me with the 1099-C form for the canceled debt, or 2. Remove the charged-off status from my account entirely if no 1099-C is issued. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to contact the IRS and report this as potential fraud and noncompliance with federal tax laws. I expect to hear from you within 30 days to confirm either the issuance of the 1099-C or the removal of the charged-off notation. 
Please treat this matter with the urgency it deserves. 

Sincerely,
