Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I wish to express my deep disappointment regarding the reporting provided by your organization, as documented in the enclosed document. It is regrettable to note that the aforementioned reporting falls significantly short of being comprehensive and fails to meet the standards I deem essential. As mandated by the law, it is crucial for both your esteemed entity and the data furnishers involved to undertake the certification of all facets pertaining to the obligatory Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Metro 2 compliance. This certification must be executed with utmost integrity, accuracy, thoroughness, and timeliness, so as to avoid any inadvertent violation or infringement upon my consumer and civil rights

Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to submit a formal complaint against Aldous & Associates for failing to provide validation of a debt that they claim I owe. I requested verification of this debt, but despite my request, I have not received the necessary documentation to substantiate the debt.

Here are the details of the dispute : Debt Collector Information : Agency Name : Aldous & Associates Contact Information : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, UT XXXX Debt Information : Debt Amount : {$910.00} Original Creditor : Aldous & Associates Account Number : XXXX My Request for Debt Validation : I sent a debt validation request to Aldous & Associates, asking for proof of the debt, including the original contract or agreement, a statement of the amount owed, and evidence that the agency is authorized to collect on behalf of the creditor. However, I have not received a response within the time frame required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Violation of Rights : This failure to provide validation violates my rights under the FDCPA, specifically my right to request proof of the debt. Additionally, I believe that Aldous & Associates has continued collection efforts without verifying that I owe the debt or that they are authorized to collect on it.

Actions Taken : I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with Aldous & Associates, but their failure to respond appropriately has left me with no choice but to escalate the issue.

I respectfully request that the CFPB intervene in this matter to ensure that Aldous & Associates complies with the FDCPA by providing the requested debt validation. If they can not provide proper validation, I ask that they cease all collection activity related to this debt.

I am willing to provide any additional information or documentation needed to assist with your investigation. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Transunion 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 Transunion, 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 Transunion 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 Transunion inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling 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 infeasible. 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 raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

I am the author of this complaint. 

15 US Code 1681e states that every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. I am not satisfied with my previous dispute because I have reason to believe that this company did not follow reasonable procedures when investigating the items that I disputed on my credit report, I believe that the company 's investigation was done by an automated eOscar system which is why the investigation yielded inaccurate and false information 15 US Code 1681i ( Section 5 paragraph A ) states that Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) PROMPTLY DELETE that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer. From my understanding this company could be held liable for willful noncompliance under 15 US Code 1681n especially due to the statutory and actual damages i've suffered.

The furnisher of the information is also liable under the FCRA under 15 USC 1681s-b ( 2 ) because they were notified of inaccurate and incomplete information on my report, and a proper reinvestigation was not done because the information is still inaccurate The fraudulent and incorrect accounts are listed below :

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention that my personal information was exposed in a national data breach, compromising my sensitive data. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I identified accounts that I do not recognize or recall opening. I submitted a request to the Consumer Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) for validation of these accounts ; however, the required documentation has not been provided as mandated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). This failure to validate the information and the presence of unverified accounts on my credit report raises significant concerns about the accuracy and security of the data being reported. To address this matter, I have filed an FTC complaint regarding the breach and the unrecognized accounts and attached supporting evidence, including my government-issued ID, a copy of the FTC complaint , the National Data Breach Notification report, and a prior Validation of Debt letter.
