Credit card· Problem with a purchase shown on your statementMO

" I am reporting a formal billing dispute against XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, XXXX cancelled Order # XXXX ( {$390.00} ) and confirmed the funds would reverse by Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX. As of today, Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX is still maintaining an illegal authorization hold, which has dropped my available credit to {$290.00}. This is blocking me from purchasing a critical tool for my business. XXXX is in violation of the CFPBs recent ruling that BNPL providers must follow credit card dispute and 'Regulation Z ' billing error rules. ''

On XX/XX/XXXX, I used XXXX to finance a purchase from XXXX. The order was never delivered. I contacted XXXXXXXX multiple times to resolve this issue : on XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ; and again on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX of XXXX, as well as several times through their contact page ( exact dates unknown ). XXXX gave me the runaround for months, claiming warehouse delays and promising shipment. Their website appears to have shut down, suggesting they may be out of business. I also contacted XXXX multiple times to report the item not received issue. XXXX refused to assist, citing that the order was older than 120 days, even though this was a non-delivery situation, not a return. It is not my fault that this timeline fell outside XXXX policy. I am extremely disappointed in how XXXX handled this situation. I am requesting that XXXX investigate and refund the payments for merchandise I never received.

So Ill have it in the photo. But I borrowed from Cash App, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX so money pops on all the time. The first time I saw the debt got paid because they took it, but yet I still owed. I messaged them and didnt think much of it. Then a month later. They took that same amount when someone paid me, but yet it said I still owed. And then a third time it had me pay {$55.00}. Ive tried, they kept avoiding responsibility, I gave up and came back to it. They still are too lazy and want me to do all the work. Ridiculous. The dates and amounts are on the pic. You can also see I stopped having people pay me on Cash App because I dont owe this amount they keep penalizing me for and trying to beg for. The amount right now they say I owe is {$56.00}. And the amounts I paid were both {$52.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and then {$55.00} was XX/XX/XXXX XXXX

Complaint Against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) On XX/XX/year>, Cash App 's automated security system erroneously flagged my account for a " Terms of Service '' violation and locked me out of my funds. Fearing the permanent loss of my capital due to their system error, I was forced into executing an immediate emergency withdrawal of {$2700.00} to my linked bank account. Cash App charged me a {$54.00} instant withdrawal fee for this transaction. Crucially, they charged this premium fee while simultaneously experiencing an officially documented, platform-wide outage impacting instant withdrawals for Android users. Furthermore, upon my appeal, Cash App reviewed my ID and instantly reactivated my account, acknowledging their initial lockout was a false positive. I attempted to resolve this through Cash App support, requesting a manual credit of the {$54.00} fee, as I was forced into this transaction purely to rescue my funds from their erroneous system failure.

My dispute was strictly for goods not received and goods not delivered as described. Cash App denied my dispute using a reason that does not apply to my situation. They stated they can not investigate disputes involving cryptocurrency or NFTs. These transactions did not involve cryptocurrency, NFTs, or any nonfiat digital assets.
