Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has failed to comply with its legal obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information upon a consumers request. I formally requested this information, including the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the individual the agency communicated with, and the documentation relied upon to verify the accuracy of the disputed account. However, the agency failed to respond within the 15-day period required by law. This failure to provide the requested details constitutes a violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
Hi I am writing to express concerns regarding Zelles 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 CFPBs 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 needs action behind it

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion continues to report inaccurate and unverifiable information related to XXXX XXXX on my credit report. Despite documentation supporting identity theft and proof of factual inconsistencies, this tradeline remains incorrect and misleading. 

The reporting for XXXX XXXX is contradictory across all three credit bureaus : TransUnion lists the account as Open Pays as Agreed, while Experian reports it as Closed Legally Paid in Full for Less Than Full Balance, and Equifax lists it as Closed Pays as Agreed. 

The Date of Last Payment differs across bureaus, and the account status coding conflicts with the payment history. 

Most critically, TransUnion reports a perfect on-time payment history with no late payments, yet the account is simultaneously coded as a derogatory tradeline, which is factually impossible. 

These inconsistencies violate FCRA 1681e ( b ) ( maximum possible accuracy ) and 1681i ( a ) ( reasonable reinvestigation ). The improper payment application and derogatory coding also violate TILA 1666 ( b ) ( Billing Error Law ) by mischaracterizing how payments were applied. TransUnion has not provided the required method of verification under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) and appears to have relied on an automated verification process instead of an independent investigation.

Company: Blockchain.com, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Was supposed to receive {$70.00} reward for each person I referred, but only received {$20.00} for XXXX of my referrals, therefore, Blockchain.com still owed me {$50.00}. Customer support was slow to respond, and despite providing screenshot evidence, many of the initial replies were very generic, and contradicted my claims. They eventually responded, seemingly admitting their mistake, and informing me they would be crediting the remaining {$50.00} in my account. I responded to ask when I could expect to see the remaining {$50.00} I was owed, but I didn't receive a response.... I have tried to contact them about it every single day since then, but have had no correspondence on that ticket after XX/XX/XXXX. I have created new tickets, informing them of the lack of response to my opened ticket. I received responses to every single new ticket I opened, but they all basically told me to keep waiting and to communicate with them within that ticket to avoid confusion..... I obviously have tried, but haven't gotten any response.... 

Original ticket XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX last response received- XX/XX/XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
