Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light if CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately.They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was feasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of a XXXX fraud while banking with JP Morgan Chase back in 2022. I was selling a piece of furniture and was told by the then scammer they would like to pay and send someone to pick up the piece. Not unusual for furniture sales. I was not prepared for what happened next. I received an email from XXXX XXXX Support stating that I had a pending transaction and needed to upgrade my account to a business account, that I had reached my limit for personal transactions. At the same time I was being harassed by this scammer to complete the transaction. I was instructed to have my buyer/scammer send me {$400.00} to expand the limit of my XXXX account and that I would be credited for the {$400.00} plus the price of my sale. Now at this point the buyer/scammer is acting well and nervous so XXXX thinking this is a real person, that this is something XXXX rolled out to catch up to small business or sellers using this to avoid tax. Seeing as I wasnt a business but just someone trying to sell off furniture for a move I was gullible and uninformed. After confirming with my buyer/scammer that I would send them their {$400.00} back to complete this sale we went through with this transaction. Now I had not received any money into my account but had seen proof from my buyer/scammer that they had sent the money and they preyed on my good/honest nature to get me to send them their {$400.00} back even though I had never received and wouldnt receive anything. Then I received another email from XXXX XXXX XXXX that my account had in fact not been upgraded and I needed to repeat the process with my buyer/scammer for {$600.00}. At this point I had wised up and realized I had been scammed, I immediately ceased contact with the buyer/scammer and called my bank JP Morgan Chase to report the incident and get my money back. Of course I was told my money was gone and I couldnt get it back which I argued was odd since we can report credit fraud or direct account fraud and get money back but their XXXX service isnt covered? Here I now was out {$400.00} and XXXX there was no security in using XXXX even though it was through my bank!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within XXXX hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. 
This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. These are the accounts I marked inaccurate XXXX XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
This letter is to inform CFPB that Experian are not following the proper procedure for consumer dispute.CFPB is currently being sued for unlawfully failing to properly investigate consumer disputes. The CFPB alleges that Experian does not take sufficient steps to intake, process, investigate, and notify consumers about consumer disputes, resulting in the inclusion of incorrect information on credit reports. Inaccurate or false information on consumer reports can threaten consumers access to credit, employment, and housing. CFPB is notorious for telling consumers that you will not investigate accounts if you have previously investigated and now we see that you all never really investigated anything for consumers. I am demanding that CFPB investigate/ reinvestigate all previous disputes filed through Experian and the outcome be removed today.

Company: JUSTICE FINANCE COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair Credit Reporting Act to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where XXXX has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence. I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as XXXX 's inaction violates federal law, and my rights as a consumer.
