Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I paid {$100.00} with my Wells Fargo debit card at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The service was performed poorly and caused injury/discomfort ( my nails were cut too deeply ). I asked the merchant for a refund, but they refused and even threatened small claims court instead of resolving the matter. 



I then filed a dispute with Wells Fargo. Despite explaining the situation and offering proof, Wells Fargo denied my claim. I also requested documentation of the merchants response and the reason for the denial, but I did not receive clear information. 



This is a disputed debit card transaction that has not been resolved fairly. I am requesting a proper review of my claim, documentation of the merchants response, and reimbursement of the {$100.00} charge.

Complaint narrative:
I joined their payment program in XXXX, received a confirmation text as well : You're all set!

Please reach out at XXXX. Our Account Managers are available Monday through Saturday from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and Sunday from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I entered my bank information for their auto debit which began with the XX/XX/2025 payment. Barclays has taken {$190.00}. from that account for XXXX & XX/XX/2025 yet they continue to send me statements saying XXXX late with payments & charging a {$40.00}. late fees plus interest. Their agents have refunded those charges when I called in to complain yet each month they do it again. 
On XXXX XXXX I received an email from XXXX  saying my credit report has a new entry of late payment to Barclays. It reduced my XXXX XXXX significantly. This is absolutely false information and my statements show my bank was debited on the XXXX of XXXX, XXXX & XXXX for my bill that was due on the XXXX. Even after discussing these problems with their managers in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, Barclays continues to ignore my payment plan & report things incorrectly. 
I demand a prompt retraction from Barclays on my credit report to correct the false information. I also demand an update on my account to show my current payments of {$190.00}. are correct and not late at all along with a refund of late charges & interest.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to XXXX XXXX. XXXX, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to XXXX XXXX. XXXX, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX  XXXX Pursuant to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of XXXX year, after which I XXXX request an extension. During this time, no information XXXX be reported. 
I have contacted EQUIFAX multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than XXXX  days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.

Company: Sezzle Inc.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Sezzle , Inc. for deceptive and unfair practices regarding their Sezzle Spend program, offered through the Sezzle XXXX in their mobile app. 

Sezzle markets and integrates Sezzle Spend as part of their app experience. Consumers earn rewards through this feature, but payouts are managed by a third-party partner, adjoe. When payouts are not honored, Sezzle refuses to assist, stating that they are not responsible, even though the feature is integrated directly into their branded app. 

This is misleading because : 1. Consumers reasonably believe they are earning and redeeming rewards directly through Sezzle, since Sezzle XXXX and Sezzle Spend are presented as Sezzles features. 
2. Sezzle disclaims responsibility only after issues arise, leaving consumers without recourse. 
3. XXXX, the third-party Sezzle relies on, is unresponsive to customer inquiries. 

I personally earned Sezzle Spend rewards but have not received the payout. Sezzle has repeatedly refused to escalate or resolve the matter, instead deflecting responsibility. 

This practice constitutes unfair and deceptive conduct in violation of consumer protection standards. Since Sezzle is a financial services provider, I request that the CFPB investigate this program and require Sezzle to either : Provide payouts directly to affected consumers, or Stop marketing Sezzle XXXX as a Sezzle feature without clearly disclosing that Sezzle will not support or guarantee rewards.
