Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
An IRS check that I mailed on XX/XX/year> gets stolen. The thief does a whiteout of IRS as receiver, and put their name on it and deposit it electronically with Chase, where I also bank on XXXX XXXX. Same thief, makes another whiteout ( by this time the whiteout marks are showing in the prints ) of the same check and deposits it electronically the same way 4 days later. Chase bank accepts both deposits and withdraw the funds from my account twice immediately at the date depositted. In fact both of the two checks had the same check number so it was an obvious mistake of the bank ( bank officer could not believe the bank was unable to detect that the same check number was deposited two times. to withdraw twice on the same check. After meeting at the branch office to present the case, the bank returned one of the two funds back to me. Since then ( XX/XX/XXXX meeting at XXXX, CA branch of Chase ), they have been stone walling me. First they said that they will resolve it without any action from me. After several days when I inquired about their action, I was told I need to fill a fraud report. This was in conflict with their instruction of no need for any action from me. They said that they will mail it to me. The form never came in the mail. After several inquiry, they asked that I meet at the branch because oddly their POLICIES does not allow them to email the form. Long story short, I met at the bank today to fill the form. The stonewalling to use my funds is one concern, the other is that they can show higher deposits if they do this practice aggressively. They may even hide some of their cash requirement shortfall with your agency. The other concern I have is that even though this seems to be a big fraud ( stealing from post office, tampering with IRS as the receiver, and counterfitting checks ), the bank may be looking the other way as the practice puts more money in their pockets while shortchanging their customers. That seems to be in conflict of interest with their feudatory responsibility as a bank. It would seem to me that the bank should have a policy with regards to how long before they return a customer 's money in an obvious fraud case such as this. May be the agency can inquire on this as well. 
I am not sure when I will get my money back but you would think after meeting them in their brach for 3 times, they would try to make things good. It is a substantial amount of {$8500.00} that I was paying to IRS. I am very concerned though if they try not to report these events to the federal authorities that oversee such terrible crimes Thanks for your attention in the matter.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a claim against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed tu take timely and effective measures 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, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I went to the dealership to view the vehicle and found that the car was not what was advertised on the dealership 's website. The dealership 's website was very misleading and fraudulent I had a very brief discussion with the owner explaining that the car that was advertised was not the same car I looked at in person. 

After numerous conversations, the dealership explained he was not giving me my deposit back and I finally went and started a dispute with Capital One Bank to recoup the funds. 
I was issued a temporary credit, but the bank felt that I was wrong because all conversations were in person and I had no evidence that the claim was invalid. 
This issue has caused serious issues on my finances and my account I was never rendered the services and should not be held accountable for a bad car dealership.
