Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

I am writting to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous of times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate the claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am following up on my original complaint filed on XX/XX/year>, against Aldous & Associates PLLC. The company responded on XX/XX/year>, stating that they would mail me documentation verifying the alleged debt in question. 

As of today, I have not received any documents, breakdown, or verification of the debt that Aldous & Associates PLLC claims I owe. It has now been over two weeks since their response, and they have failed to provide any form of proof or communication regarding this matter. 

This failure to provide validation is a direct violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which require that a consumer be provided proper verification upon request. 

I therefore dispute this alleged debt in its entirety and respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take additional action to ensure the company complies with the law. Specifically, I ask that the CFPB require Aldous & Associates PLLC to either : Provide full documentation proving the validity and ownership of the alleged debt including an itemized statement, the name of the original creditor, and a complete chain of assignment ; or Cease any reporting or collection activity and remove this item from my credit report due to failure to validate. 

I have acted in good faith to resolve this matter, but the companys nonresponse has prevented a fair resolution. 

Thank you for your attention and assistance in helping to protect my consumer rights. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, IN XXXX Date : XX/XX/year> XXXX
