Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union and the multiple overdraft fees Ive incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when charges were authorized, I was charged several times for lates fee after Navy Federal took their sweet time to post my payments. I have also received negative remarks on certain credit card payments I was trying to make in a timely manner but Navy Federal would take days to post my payment and cause confusion.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute to TransUnion regarding an inaccurate XXXX XXXX XXXX account on my credit report. TransUnion responded on XX/XX/year>, stating that the account had been updated but did not provide specific details on what was updated. 

I have provided evidence that this account should not be reported, yet TransUnion has refused to remove it. This failure to properly investigate and correct the inaccuracy violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 15 USC 1681 ( i ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation. 
15 USC 1681 ( o ) Negligent noncompliance with FCRA requirements. 

According to the FCRA, TransUnion must ensure the maximum possible accuracy of credit reports and conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when a consumer disputes an account. However, instead of removing the inaccurate information, TransUnion only updated the account, without clarifying what was changed or providing proper documentation.

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 investigate 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.
