Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
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 This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding multiple overdraft fees that were applied to my account. These fees were assessed despite having sufficient funds available at the time the transactions were authorized. 
However, due to delayed posting of charges and credits, I was unfairly charged overdraft fees. 
This issue appears consistent with recent findings by the CFPB, which identified similar practices by Navy Federal Credit Union, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially having adequate funds. I believe these practices are deceptive and unfair.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account on my credit report. This letter serves as a follow-up to the complaint I submitted to the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX, regarding the inaccuracies in the reporting of this account.As of XX/XX/XXXX, your company hasn't responded through the CFPB portal without any explanation. While you stated that you contacted the data furnisher and conducted a re-investigation, I believe that Experian failed to properly investigate my dispute in a lawful and timely manner, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Issues with Experians Handling of My Dispute : Failure to Conduct a Proper Re-Investigation : Experians dispute intake procedures are faulty, as they fail to convey all relevant consumer-submitted documentation to the original furnisher. Uncritical Deference to Furnisher Responses : Your response indicates that you rely heavily on the data furnisher 's response, even when such responses are improbable, illogical, or lack adequate verification. Failure to Utilize Consumer-Provided Evidence : Experian ignored documentation I provided to substantiate my claim that the account is being inaccurately reported. Violation of Timely Investigation Requirements : Per FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), the reinvestigation period must be completed within 30 days ( or 45 days if additional information is provided during the investigation ). Experian unlawfully extended this period and failed to complete a timely, thorough review. Request for XXXX : To rectify this matter, I am requesting that Experian : Provide a detailed summary of the specific steps taken during your reinvestigation process, including how consumer-submitted evidence was reviewed and shared with the data furnisher. Supply the verification documentation received from XXXX XXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT that substantiates the reporting of the disputed account. Immediately remove the disputed XXXX XXXX account from my credit report if verification can not be properly documented. Confirm compliance with FCRA and document how you intend to improve your reinvestigation processes to prevent further violations of consumer rights. I expect Experian to comply with its obligations under federal law by conducting a comprehensive reinvestigation of this matter and ensuring that the information reported on my credit file is accurate and verifiable. Failure to address these concerns may result in further action, including filing additional complaints with the FTC and consulting legal counsel to protect my rights. Please respond to this dispute in writing within XXXX days of receipt of this letter

Company: Lendmark Financial Services
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
In 2019 I went to a car lot called XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX got me approved for a truck through XXXX party financing company called Lendmark XXXX XXXX. I purchased insurance through Lendmark such as Gap and other insurance for car maintenance. I only had the car for around a yr. I regularly serviced the car through XXXX and XXXX. The engine blew. I asked that I use service that I have with them to fix the car or that we come to an agreement. They didnt want to help. I returned the car to them to let them figure out what happens next. I found out they sold my truck to someone. They still wanted me to provide the full payment for the new truck owner. I told them get my truck back and return it to me since Im still responsible for full payment. I havent gotten my truck back from Lendmark nor from whoever they gave it to. Til this day they are still harassing me through my credit. They are still wanting full payments, they are still reporting that Im not paying them. Sometimes they pretend Ive made payment to keep the account going. This account has been closed since XXXX I want my truck back or I want the money they are collecting off of it. I deserve it for the harassment, false claims, for them ruining my credit, pretending to be me and making the account active several times, selling my information and caused me to lose out on purchases or life opportunities. I feel like they should reward me the money they say I owe or clear me of the debt they know I dont owe.
