Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Notice of Dispute and Request for Updated Status Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally update the late payment entries on my credit report for the account referenced below. According to the ( FCRA ), I believe that these late payments have been reported in violation of my rights under the following provisions. In ordnance with 15 U.S.C. 1681a information reported on a credit report must be accurate, complete, and fair. I believe that the late payment entries reported on my credit file are inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading and should be corrected. Also Violation of FCRA 1666b ( Timely Notice of Billing Error ) : This section requires creditors to provide timely and proper notice to consumers regarding any billing errors, including late payment charges. If a billing error is disputed, the creditor is obligated to address it within a reasonable timeframe. I believe the creditor failed to provide the required notice of billing errors and did not give me an adequate opportunity to dispute or correct any alleged late payment charges. As a result, these late payments were reported incorrectly.

Violation of FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( Permissible Purpose ) : Under this section, information may only be disclosed to third parties ( e.g., credit reporting agencies or other creditors ) if the reporting entity has a permissible purpose under the law. This includes cases where information is reported to ensure the accuracy of credit reporting, or where the consumer has explicitly agreed to the reporting.I believe the creditor did not have a permissible purpose to report late payments under these circumstances, particularly if the late payments were inaccurately reported or if no valid underlying issue existed.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

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. I use zelle on most of my transactions and Ive only had one issues, and it was never resolved. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received a text from Citi regarding my XXXX XXXX about a potential fraudulent charge to my card. The number in the text sent me to a system that said This system is currently unavailable now. So I called the general customer service line, and was put on hold with a message of estimated wait time of greater than thirty minutes. While I was on hold, I went online to verity the charges myself, and theyre all mine, and my card is in my possession. Using the chat function, the customer service rep was ( understandably ) unable to help me resolve the issue himself, but sent me a number to call. I hung up and called that number and got the same message. After an hour and a half I finally started getting a message that the wait was less than thirty minutes, and eventually it said I had a wait time of less than two minutes, at which point the call dropped. Until I can verify the charges formally, I am unable to use the card, which I had planned on using to put a purchase for something that would resolve a major safety issue at my house. I do not have the time to call and wait another 90+ minutes to maybe get in touch with someone, or perhaps wait 90+ minutes to have my call dropped again. There is no option to automatically do it ( like Ive had with other credit cards ) or to get a call back ( like Ive had with other credit cards, or other times I have a potentially lengthy hold time such as with my XXXX  office ) when my place in line came up. This is the worst experience Ive had with overall customer service since having a credit card in my name for the past XXXX XXXX years ( much less a Citi card ). It reflects very poorly on Citi.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles dispute resolution process, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit that has highlighted critical issues with the platform. I have personally experienced repeated challenges with Zelle, and despite reporting these issues, neither my financial institution nor Zelle conducted a thorough investigation of my claims. I was informed that recovering lost funds was not possible and that transactions could not be tracked. The findings from the CFPB indicate that Zelle has failed to adequately protect its users, allowing repeat offenders to exploit the system and leaving individuals like myself vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is deeply troubling and raises significant concerns about customer safety and trust.

I requested the firm to send me validation not verification of the debt. I asked for the purchase and sale agreement. As per the vendor 's response, they are not obligated to respond to the consumer 's request for a copy of a purchase and sale agreement and they decline to do so. 

How am I supposed to verify that they in fact own the debt if they can't or won't produce the purchase and sale agreement? How can anyone confirm that the amount they claim Is owed on the debt is what they paid for the debt without the purchase and sale agreement?

Complaint narrative:
I was involved in a car accident in 2019 and received a call from a lawyer for a chiropractic clinic. The clinic was XXXX XXXX. I was told that they charged XXXX XXXX  a visit. The adjuster from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the person at fault carrier, reached out and said to have them forward all bills to her and she would pay them. 
Once I received my settlement XXXX XXXX XXXX asked me how I wanted to settle the costs. I asked why I was being contacted because he was advised where to send the bill. He told me that since I fired the lawyer who contacted me that sent me to him, he could no longer speak to the adjuster. So I asked if he could send a detailed bill and he refused to send a bill unless I told him the amount of my settlement. Later, I was contacted by a bill collector, Tek Collect and we worked out payment arrangements so they would not go on my credit. They took one payment and still appeared on my credit report. I was in the process of buying a home so thankfully it appeared after my purchase. I have been disputing this since it happened but no results to my satisfaction. I feel like the charges are fraudulent because I never received a bill and it was my understanding that it was being sent to the adjuster.

There is also the problem with XXXX they will not remove the derogatory marks and this account is in good standing.
