Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: AZ

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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I was directly impacted by the Equifax data breach, which compromised my sensitive personal information, including Social Security number and credit card information. Despite Equifaxs assurances of safeguarding consumer data, their failure to implement adequate security measures led to this significant breach.

Following the breach, I contacted Equifax to request : Information about the extent of the breach and how my data was affected.

Details on the steps they were taking to resolve the situation and protect my data. 
Information on remedies or compensation for affected individuals. 

Unfortunately, Equifax did not provide adequate responses or transparency. This breach has caused significant financial and emotional stress, as I have incurred costs for credit monitoring and identity theft protection to mitigate potential risks. 

I am requesting that Equifax address their failure to safeguard consumer data, provide appropriate compensation for the financial and emotional damages I have experienced, and implement stronger security measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation pf 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 or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had an online banking account with Wells Fargo which consisted of my checking account ( XXXX ), a credit card account, and a stock account. 
The credit card was hacked but the bank caught it and I did not lose any money nor the bank either. They immediately froze my account. This all happened on XXXX, I have been very XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without being able to use the phone. I have contacted them with a letter and have addressed this many times over by feedback via my email account. All the hoops they suggested I make because all this time they say they could not be sure of my identity. 
I had a friend contact them by phone and all they did was say to him, we do not know who you are ( this was done as their suggestion ) and they hung up on him. 
I do not know why they are doing this but my health has certainly been a rock block because I can not get up and go to their office. This account has all the money that i have so it is very important they unfreeze my account. 
I have had trouble with trying to open an account with another bank and I wondered what had happened to my credit rating so I contacted the Credit Rating company and they refused to send me my credit ratings because I do not have a mobile phone. Sound crazy but this has been going on for over 2 years now, as you can see. I got your venue from the XXXX.
