Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Early Warning Services, LLC (TX)

I was scammed by someone pretending to be XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. They had me verify my charges and the balances on my accounts. 
They told me that someone used my zelle account from an XXXX  XXXX out of XXXX and had access to my account and used my email address and phone number that I did not give them, they already knew. 

They then had me zelle the phone number XXXX and name XXXX XXXX two payments. One of XXXX and one for XXXX. They told me that the phone number was for a zelle technician and that is how it would give me my money back. I questioned them multiple times because I was sketched out about sending someone money and they told me it was to test my account. I searched the phone number I was receiving the call from after replying YES to a fraud text message, I was called immediately by the number XXXX which I googled to make sure it was legit when I got sketched out and it is the fraud phone number for XXXX so it eased my worries. I replied yes to XXXX text asking me if I had made the charges myself thinking the zelle payments were fraud because that is what they prompted me to do. 

They then told me there was fraud on my cash app account, which I do not have so they said there was also fraud on my apple pay and sent me a one time code. I had never heard of this so I was even more sketched out and asked them to transfer me to the Help Center they freaked out and hung up the phone. They have called me back 4 times now telling me the line has dropped and I needed to fix my account and I let them know that I have reported this as fraud. They preceded to tell me you must think I am the dumbest person alive if you think I am going to send this money back. Happy XXXX XXXX! The phone number is : XXXX. I am shaking and have blocked the phone number and changed my account password. 

I immediately called XXXX and reported a claim. I have now heard back from them that they can not credit my account but are talking to Zelle but most likely nothing is going to happen and could take 6 months to get an answer at all. I have screenshots of the texts I received and also screenshots of my phone calls and also the Zelle payments made. 

I have also filed a report with the FBI and I have also filed a report with the police where they told me only XXXX XXXX XXXX can help with this and there is nothing they can do either. 

I feel extremely stupid to fall for this but it seemed legit until they started with the XXXX situation. I have had fraud recently on my card and just got a new one so I believed it was happening again. 

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to receive my money back.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

My account with EXPERIAN was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

EXPERIAN Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Recently, I did an investigation on my credit report which caused severe XXXX upon me and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that XXXX, XXXX, & Equifax didn't make sure it was reporting 100 % correct.

I'm disappointed that XXXX, XXXX, & Equifax have not been able to provide me with any documented proof of compliance reporting standards and applicable consumer laws.
