Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to report that I have experienced issues with Equifaxs dispute process that align with the concerns highlighted by the CFPBs recent action against Equifax. Specifically : Lack of Proper Investigation : I submitted disputes regarding inaccuracies on my credit report, and in some cases, the disputes were marked as verified within a matter of minutes. This quick turnaround time strongly suggests that the supporting documentation I provided was not fully reviewed or investigated. 

Disregard of Consumer-Provided Evidence : The CFPBs findings indicate that Equifax failed to review consumer-provided documents. My own experience mirrors this issue, as no meaningful consideration was given to the evidence I submitted regarding errors on my credit report. 

Recurrence of Errors : Similar to the allegations that Equifax allowed previously flagged inaccuracies to return to consumers credit files, some items I challenged reappeared on my credit report despite being acknowledged as inaccurate in prior disputes. 

Impact on Me as a Consumer : These unresolved inaccuracies are negatively affecting my credit score, limiting my ability to qualify for favorable credit terms and opportunities. I believe Equifaxs flawed investigation practices have directly impacted my financial well-being. 

Given the CFPBs settlement with Equifax and the agencys confirmation that subpar investigations have occurred, I strongly believe I am among the consumers harmed by Equifaxs inadequate dispute resolution process. I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in ensuring Equifax properly investigates my disputes and corrects any remaining inaccuracies on my credit report.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit.

Medical XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Re : Account Number XXXX, XXXX : XXXX Dear Medical XXXX XXXX, I am writing to request that you immediately under 15 us code 1692c cease and desist all communications, collection activities and reporting to my consumer report regarding the alleged debt referenced above. This includes, but is not limited to communicating with credit agencies, phone calls, letters, and emails. 

I dispute the validity of this debt and assert that I have been improperly contacted by your agency. I request that you provide validation of the debt, including documentation showing the amount of the debt, the original creditor, and any transfer of the debt to your agency, as well as the 1. Chain of Assignments or Chain of Title 2. Date of first Delinquency 3. Date of last payment 4. Amount of last payment Furthermore, I instruct you to remove my name and account information from your database and to notify any credit reporting agencies that the debt is disputed and should not be reported. 

Please confirm in writing that you have received this request and will comply with my demands. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Below, I have cited and remind you of the instructed not only by the FTC but CFPB as well. 
FCRA & Medical Debt Reporting Changes ( Recent Developments ) The No Surprises Act ( Effective XX/XX/XXXX ) : The No Surprises Act limits the ability of providers to send certain medical debts to collections if the debts arise from surprise medical bills ( e.g., out-of-network services ). 
This indirectly affects what collection agencies can report under FCRA compliance since unauthorized debts can not be collected or reported. 
XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX Policy Changes ( Effective XX/XX/XXXX ) : The three major credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ) implemented significant changes to how medical debts are reported : Paid Medical Debt : Paid medical debts are no longer reported on credit reports. 
Debt Reporting Grace Period : Unpaid medical debts must now wait 12 months ( previously six months ) before being reported to credit bureaus, allowing consumers more time to resolve issues with healthcare providers and insurance companies. 
Small Medical Debts : Medical debts under {$500.00} will no longer be reported on credit reports starting XXXX. 
FTC and CFPB Enforcement : The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) have warned collection agencies against reporting debts in violation of these new rules. 
Reporting of invalid or disputed debts can lead to lawsuits and penalties under the FCRA.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a compliant against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours starting the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. The 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 administative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provide consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a formal complaint against Cash App, operated by Block , Inc., on the grounds of inadequate customer service and unfair business practices in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to implement timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraudulent activity on its platform, thereby compromising the security and protection of my account.

Additionally, the companys dispute resolution process was both unfair and deceptive, failing to adhere to the error resolution requirements mandated under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: WI

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. Dispite 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 wasn't possible 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.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, 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 Experian 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 the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
