Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law. ''

i am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and zelle failed to investigated my claims adequately. they informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams.

Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I leased a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for my wife at Mercedes-Benz XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with Mercedes Benz Financial Services . I was receiving a monthly invoice in the mail and they were all paid. All of a sudden in XX/XX/XXXX, we stopped receiving the invoices in the mail. We realized that we had not received an invoice sometime late XXXX ( because we were so used to receiving them regularly ). My wife called Mercedes Benz Financial Services late XXXX and they told her we were switched to electronic invoices. My wife 's e-mail was on the account, but she never received an invoice. She called back in XXXX after not receiving an invoice and asked to be changed back to mail form since she was not receiving the invoices. They told her that I would have to call to do that since I was paying for the vehicle. I finally had a chance to call today ( since they are closed on the weekends and only have hours from XXXX ). They told me that I had been put in collections since the account was past XXXX  days. This is totally not fair since we have been calling them to pay the invoices all this time. Furthermore, the Mercedes Financial Services woman helped me log onto their website and it says that I am still receiving paper invoices through the mail on their site. This is really horrible customer service!

When I contacted Zelle about the problem they stated that it I had to go to personal claim court.
