Company: Block, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, the Bureau issued an order against Block, Inc. ( Block ), a nonbank headquartered in XXXXXXXX XXXX which operates Cash App, a mobile payments application through which consumers can send and receive money through peer-to-peer transfers. The Bureau found that for years after the inception of Cash App, Block failed to provide effective customer service for Cash App, including by failing to provide live telephone agents, which prevented consumers from being able to have their financial issues addressed in a proper and timely fashion and resulted in fake customer service lines through which consumers ' information would be stolen, in a manner that was unfair in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 ( CFPA ). The Bureau also found that Block failed to take timely, appropriate, and effective measures to prevent, detect, limit, and address fraud on the Cash App platform in a manner that was unfair in violation of the CFPA. The Bureau further found that Block used the card network chargeback process as a substitute for fulfilling its obligations under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E to investigate and resolve disputes about unauthorized transactions in a timely manner in violation of the CFPA 's prohibition on unfair practices. In addition, the Bureau found that Block engaged in deception by misrepresenting that it protected consumers from unauthorized transfers and had a telephone line to report such unauthorized transfers. The Bureau also found that Block failed to comply in multiple ways with the requirements of EFTA and Regulation E, including regarding error resolution. The order requires Block to change its practices to comply with the law, pay at least {$75.00} XXXX in redress to consumers, up to {$120.00} XXXX. The order further requires Block to pay {$55.00} XXXX in civil money penalties. I am filing a lawsuit 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 and 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.

Complaint narrative:
This is not a refusal to pay but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, disputing your claim and requesting validation of the alleged debt. Be advised, this request is not simply for verification of the debt or for proof of my mailing address ; it is a demand for full validation of the debt, requiring complete and competent evidence of your authority to collect on it. This includes, but is not limited to, the following : 1. Copies of all contracts, agreements, or assignments bearing my signature and evidencing my obligation to pay this debt. 2. Documented evidence of your legal assignment to collect this debt and any proof of the chain of custody if the debt was sold, transferred, or otherwise assigned. 3. Proof that the debt remains within the statute of limitations, as I am requesting confirmation that any collection actions on this debt are legally permissible. 4. Complete account payment history, including any fees or interest, to justify the balance you claim is owed. The court case XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX underscores that debt collection agencies must prove the legitimacy of the debt and their right to collect it. Please ensure you provide all necessary evidence substantiating your claim in line with this precedent. Please be aware : if your office has reported any unvalidated information about this alleged debt to the credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX ), such action may be considered fraud under Federal and State law. Any negative mark associated with this debt, if found on my credit reports, may result in legal action against you and your client for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the FDCPA, and defamation of character. If the requested documentation is provided, I will require a minimum of 30 days to review and investigate this information thoroughly. All collection activities must cease during this period, and I request that no actions detrimental to my credit be taken. Reporting any unverified debt to a credit repository may lead me to pursue legal counsel for action against inaccurate or misleading information. Notice of Non-Response Requirement : If your office fails to provide the requested validation within 30 days of receipt of this letter, you are required to cease collection activities and remove all references to this account from my credit file. Please confirm the deletion of this account with documentation sent to my address above. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Capital One Venture One credit card on XX/XX/year>, based on a promotional offer that promised XXXX reward points upon spending {$500.00} within the first three months of opening the account. I fulfilled all the stated conditions of this promotion by spending over {$500.00} within the required time frame. However, Capital One has failed to provide the promised XXXX points. 

When I contacted Capital One about this issue, they claimed that no such promotional condition existed at the time I opened the account. I find this response unacceptable, as the promotional offer was a key reason I chose this credit card. I believe I have been misled and unfairly denied the benefits promised to me as part of this promotion.
