Someone opened up 24 different credit lines in my name through Affirm.com. Since XX/XX/XXXX they have opened these accounts, paid on them until XX/XX/XXXX.

I froze my credit and experian.com disputed all of these accounts and message me back 24 hours later and said that they are all remaining on my credit report. This is crazy.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a formal demand for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding the handling of my credit report. I have requested these accounts listed below to removed from my credit report due to identity theft. This is my several attempt to resolve this matter. The previous letters have come with XXXX compliance. Your failure to provide verifiable proof and your reliance on generic, non-substantive responses violate federal law and my consumer rights. I will not tolerate these deliberate evasions. 

Despite my repeated disputes, your agency has failed to provide legally required documentation proving the validity of the reported information. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), upon receiving a dispute, you are legally required to conduct a meaningful investigation and provide substantive evidence verifying the accuracy of the disputed accounts. Your boilerplate responses do not meet this legal standard, and your continued negligence constitutes a blatant violation of federal law. 

Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer credit reports. Your continued reporting of unverified and inaccurate information, despite my multiple disputes, demonstrates reckless disregard for the law and my rights.

You have 30 days from the date of this letter to provide the following : 1.Actual verification of the disputed accounts, including original documentation from the data furnisher proving the validity of the debtnot generic statements from the creditor or data furnisher. 
2.A detailed explanation of the investigation conducted, including the specific steps taken to verify the accuracy of the information.

3.The names, contact information, and job titles of the individuals who handled my dispute.

4.A statement confirming removal of any information that can not be fully verified as per 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ).

Failure to comply will result in immediate legal action. I am fully prepared to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General. Additionally, I will explore all legal avenues, including but not limited to, filing a lawsuit for willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which entitles me to statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and costs. 

These accounts do not belong to me, as they are fraudulent. The banks have agreed to remove these accounts from my records. Im confused why you still feel theyre reporting accurately. Please see these accounts are fully investigated and VERIFIABLE PROOF IS FORWARED TO ME.

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Customer only had the means of paying via Cash App, I was reluctant because it hasnt been very good service up till then. But it was a really good haul, so took the chance. Everything was going great till upon delivery, customer attempted to pay. I always have the customer do a test payment first, make sure things go through, So i advised the customer to send a XXXX dollar payment to me. It was blocked by Cash App, " For My Protection '' I then contacted support via Chat. Once the automated system flags it at unusual, it can not be undone, and the customer can try to send again, but will automatically be blocked. So now i have no way to receive payment, from a customer for the 3rd time, because Cash App feels like it should have more control over where my money comes and goes. None of their concern. Either provide the services offered or stick to just transfers. If this is the way they conduct business, I will never accept that as a means of payment, and will spread it to all my other partners as well.

Experian violates my rights as a consumer, as well as federal laws.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because a consumer reporting agency has failed to comply with its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). After disputing inaccurate information on my credit report, I submitted a formal requestpursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) and 1681e ( b ) seeking a clear and detailed explanation of the reinvestigation process. Specifically, I requested information outlining the steps taken to verify the disputed data, the name, address, and telephone number of the data furnisher, and any documentation relied upon to support the continued reporting of the item. 

To date, the agency has not provided any of the requested information. This failure to disclose required details violates the FCRAs standards for transparency and accountability and raises serious concerns about the accuracy and integrity of the reinvestigation process. The agencys noncompliance may constitute willful or negligent violations under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o and could result in civil liability.
