Company: Payfare International Inc. (FL)

I submitted to my employer, direct deposit information provided to me by XXXX by Payfare Inc. As a XXXX  I expected ease of access while on the go, working two jobs and being homeless so that I may afford necessities such as housing. My employer sent my XXXX deposit to XXXX by Payfare Inc on Wednesday XX/XX/2023 in the amount of {$400.00} to be deposited into account XXXX routing number XXXX. I confirmed with my employer on Friday XX/XX/2023 that the deposit was accepted by XXXX by Payfare and has not been returned to them for me to receive a paper check. Several representatives assured me my deposit would reach me by Monday, XX/XX/2023. When it had not arrived, I reached back out to my employer to see if it was returned for any reason and they confirmed it was not. I then reached out to XXXX by Payfare support around XXXX EST to find out what happened. I was hung up on and blindly transferred by several employees. I reached XXXX or XXXX who identified himself as a 2 year veteran employee with XXXX by Payfare who explicitly stated the do not accept direct deposits from outside entities or financial institutions, which is the opposite of the information provided on the Direct Deposit form provided by the company, as well as the XXXX Cardholder Agreement. He insisted that the form they provide is strictly for alternative forms of payment in case Dashers are missing XXXX deposits. He stated he would transfer me to a Payfare supervisor that was familiar with my situation and would assist with resolving my issue where he then proceeded to provide me a false callback number for Payfare of XXXX that does not ring, it simply drops the call. He placed me on hold for over an hour and I still have no knowledge of where my funds are. I received an ACH direct deposit from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 in the amount of {$5.00} with the same information provided to my employer that paid me {$400.00} and it was received correctly. The XXXX XXXX states an ACH direct deposit should be paid to users within 2-3 business days, which has been exhausted, up to 5 business days if there is a reasonable delay communicated by XXXX. I have no idea if and when I will receive my funds which has caused me to lose my job with my primary employer, losses for my vehicle as well as housing expenses that Ive needed to rearrange for due to not receiving my funds. I have also had to borrow several hundreds of dollars from loved ones to help pay expenses that were supposed to be covered by that deposit.

By listing these accounts in this dispute, they have contravened my rights as protected by 15 USC 1681e ( b ). As a result of providing inconsistent information to each credit bureau, I experienced the negative consequences of a diminished credit score. In accordance with the rigorous liability standard of the FCRA, culpability against a CRA can only be established for a single violation. At present, I have no intention of initiating legal proceedings against your agency ; however, I would appreciate it if you could rectify the error that appears in my consumer report. If this erroneous information persists, I will be compelled to resolve the situation independently. Credit bureaus are required by law to report only 100 percent accurate credit information. It is imperative that every effort be made to ensure that the information being reported is entirely precise and true. Therefore, the following information requires further investigation.
