Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Resolution Reference to Federal and XXXX XXXXXXXX Dear XXXX GA XXXX XXXX, I am writing to address a blatant violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as confirmed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), and 1681s-2 ( a ) ; the XXXX XXXX XXXX under Sections 392.301 and 392.305 ; and identity fraud laws, specifically Texas Penal Code Section 32.51 . It has unequivocally come to my attention that [ company name ] has engaged in unauthorized reporting to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent. Federal law, as outlined in the FCRA, explicitly mandates that the consent of the consumer is a non-negotiable requirement for such reporting activities under Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). In addition to federal law, Texas state law, specifically Section 392.301 of the XXXX XXXX XXXX, emphasizes the necessity of consumer consent for credit reporting. Furthermore, Section 392.305 of the XXXX XXXX XXXX establishes clear guidelines for the fair reporting of consumer credit information. Simultaneously, identity fraud laws, such as Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, underscore the severity of unauthorized access and misuse of personal information. I assert with unwavering certainty that I have not provided consent for [ company name ] to report any information to my credit report. This undeniable lack of explicit permission constitutes a blatant violation of my rights, resulting in potential damage to my creditworthiness and an unequivocal disregard for federal and state laws. I demand that [ company name ] immediately ceases any further reporting of information to my credit report without obtaining my explicit consent, as mandated by Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA and Sections 392.301 and 392.305 of the XXXX XXXX XXXX. Failure to comply within the stipulated XXXX timeframe will be viewed as willful noncompliance, subject to penalties under applicable laws, including identity fraud laws. I emphasize that obtaining consent is not a discretionary choice but a legal obligation under these specific sections of the FCRA, Texas state law, and identity fraud laws. This is not a negotiation ; it is a demand for compliance with both federal and state regulations, protecting consumers like myself from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting. I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and expect that [ company name ] will promptly rectify these egregious violations, respecting my rights under federal and state laws. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Block, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I was scammed multiple times on Cash App and the app refused to refund me. The first time I was scammed on XX/XX/XXXX, a friend of mine conned me into loaning him {$1000.00} across XXXX separate payments on cash app to help him with his rent and medical bills, saying hed pay me back, but then of course he never did. I requested a refund, but due to Cash Apps policy of allowing people to decline giving a refund, of course the scammer refused. Cash App took no responsibility. 

The next day, XX/XX/XXXX, I was on the phone with Cash App support. They said they would have a specialist contact me about the situation. Call disconnects, a moment later I get a callback from someone claiming to be Cash App support. Turns out, it was clever phishing scam. Somehow the scammer knew all the details I had shared with the support line so I had no reason to think anything was amiss, and I followed the guys every direction. XXXX hour later, this scumbag tricked me into sending close to {$700.00} to him in bitcoin, using the cash app, as a dummy transaction, where that transaction would be cancelled and that money, plus my original {$1000.00}, would be refunded. I shouldve known better, but I thought Theres no way Cash App would be so callous as to allow their phone lines to be bugged by a scam call center. I was dead wrong, son. 

Of course, Cash App still refuses to refund my money. I filed a police report and disputed the charges with my bank, so I got *some* money back, but theres no guarantee Im getting all of my money back. At this point Im down almost {$2000.00}, money I worked hard and saved up for, all because scammers took advantage of my naivety and Cash App simply does not care enough to prevent fraud or protect their customers.
