Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a tax form related to an account that was opened fraudulently using my information. Block, Inc. sent me a 1099-K listing my former address and the last four digits of my SSN. The form incorrectly states that I received {$23000.00} in income through CashApp from XXXX transactions in XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. However, this is not my account, as CashApp only allows one account per phone number and my only account has 3 transactions over the past two years. The CashApp app gave me a pop-up when I logged in last night that they closed my account because of " gambling or other activity that goes against their Terms of Service. '' I have never used CashApp for any such purpose. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted CashApp Support, and they were unable to provide me any information regarding the account as it is associated with a phone number other than my own. Support said that they only provide 1099-K forms for business accounts ( which I have never had ). 

My personal data was leaked a couple years ago during the DC XXXX XXXX and/or XXXX XXXX breaches XXXX I placed a fraud alert with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX after my credit report reflected an attempt to open a credit card in my name. Additionally, I received a debit card in the mail from CashApp listing an account that I had never heard of. When I attempted to obtain information regarding this account, CashApp was unable to grant my request. CashApp Support stated in a follow-up email to me that " Cash App will cooperate with any active investigation and provide any supporting documentation that may assist with their investigation in the matter. '' CashApp 's representatives repeatedly stated that CashApp does not provide tax advice and that I should using the FTC 's Identity Theft program and local law enforcement to report the identity theft. I have done so on both accounts. However, this does NOT address the tax repercussions that have arisen from this fraud. Every time I called and requested more information on the account or for them to close the account and submit corrections to the IRS, they refused to do so.

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Applying for or obtaining a modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or deed-in-lieu
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
At the end of XXXX and the beginning of XXXX, Florida was affected by two hurricanes, resulting in significant emotional and material costs in many regions of the state. My area, as well as my workplace, was affected. It was necessary to incur extra expenses such as daycare, repair materials, and other costs due to the atmospheric events. 

I was informed by my mortgage company that assistance was available for these types of events, so I applied for a forbearance plan. It took 5 minutes to fill out the form and 20 minutes for approval. However, after being in the program for three months, I made numerous calls to the mortgage company, as they continued to send letters claiming that I was in delinquent status. Customer support told me it was an automatic system issue, but the calls continued.

Later, during one of my calls, I was informed that I needed to apply for mortgage assistance. I submitted the application on XX/XX/XXXX. After their review, they sent me an offer that essentially locked my house. The terms of my contract changed drastically, extending my loan term from 380 months to 480 months. Additionally, at the end of this period, there would still be a remaining balance of over {$41000.00} to be paid. 

After receiving that offer, we decided to gather the money and pay off the debtin other words, we took on another debt, but for a smaller amount. The company was notified of our dissatisfaction, as what was supposed to be assistance turned into a highly beneficial business for the mortgage company. They transformed an {$11000.00} debt into something exceeding {$100000.00} by the end of the terma rather aggressive tactic for someone going through financial hardship.
