Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax, Transunion & Experian for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This 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 administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation. 
The accounts below are which I am referencing : XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Im 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.

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I purchased a XXXX bike on XX/XX/XXXX, using a XXXX no-interest promotional financing offer through Synchrony Bank. The promotion expires on XX/XX/XXXX, and as part of the deal, I was given a XXXX grace period to pay off the balance, which ended on XX/XX/XXXX. 

During this grace period, I made XXXX payments : {$200.00} on XX/XX/XXXX {$800.00} on XX/XX/XXXX Even though I made these payments within the grace period, Synchrony Bank hasnt applied them to my promotional balance. They told me I need to call back to ensure the payments are applied correctly. Ive asked why I need to take these extra steps when Im paying within the grace period, but I havent gotten a clear explanation. It feels wrong that I have to intervene when the system should be able to automatically apply the payments to the right promotion. 

I was also told that theyve submitted a request to get the charges waived, but its not guaranteed. This doesnt seem fair to me, especially since I went online and made the payments. I shouldnt have to call customer service to make sure my payment gets applied to the promotional balance, especially since Im following the rules and paying within the grace period. It feels like this defeats the purpose of making the payment online in the first place.
