Complaint narrative:
I have a vehicle loan on my account I took out XX/XX/XXXX. The account has never been transferred, refinanced or changed in any way during the time I had the vehicle. I traded this same vehicle in XX/XX/XXXX and the account was paid and closed. Currently, this same account is reporting 3 times on my credit reports with slightly different open dates along with with payment history which is inaccurate. I have disputed this online and in writing to each of the credit bureaus over the years. I have reached out to the creditor for them to fix the error as well to no avail. I have done everything I know, however, the account continues to report erroneously on all three.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am 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 user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information on Credit Report - Reference to CFPB Lawsuit Dear Experian Disputes Department, I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report. I have previously submitted disputes to you regarding these inaccuracies, but they continue to persist on my report. This ongoing issue of reporting errors has prompted me to formally escalate this matter. 
It has come to my attention that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) recently filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to appropriately handle credit reporting disputes and for inaccurately reporting consumer data. This legal action highlights concerns that are directly relevant to my experience with your company, where repeated disputes have not resulted in the accurate reflection of my credit history. 
Specifically, the following information remains inaccurate on my credit report : [ XXXX. XXXX XXXX- ( XXXX ) from XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) from XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and Charged off from XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX of XXXX and Closed XX/XX/XXXX. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX of XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX of XXXX and charged off from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX of XXXX and XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX of XXXX ] I request that you review and correct these discrepancies in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As part of your investigation, I ask that you provide me with the results and any supporting documentation, including how the inaccurate information was verified or updated. 
Given the nature of the CFPBs legal action against Experian, I expect that you will handle this dispute promptly and with the appropriate due diligence. Please inform me of the outcome of your investigation within the 30-day period outlined by law. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely resolution of these issues. Should you require any additional information to process my dispute, please do not hesitate to contact me. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
The 3 credit bureaus data were breached. XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX have continued to report false information on my credit report. 

The latest to have my information corrected was to no avail. They continue to report student loans that have been discharged, and hard inquiries that I didn't apply for. Credit cards I didn't spent. 

The whole thing is a mess. Why do I have multiple addresses on my credit report?

Complaint narrative:
Complaint : Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting and Request for Validation Failure to Issue 1099-C Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting and Request for Validation Failure to Issue 1099-C Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) , I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of a collection account associated with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion on my credit report. I believe the reporting of this debt is inaccurate and does not comply with applicable federal regulations. These items were purchased by a third-party debt collector, but the information on my credit report does not reflect the correct status, amount, or details of this account.

Inaccurate Reporting : The reported debt shows an incorrect balance, and it reflects amounts that do not align with the agreement made with the third-party debt collector. This debt was settled for less than the amount owed, but the credit reports from Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion do not reflect this. As a result, the information reported is not accurate and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires complete and accurate reporting.

Failure to Issue 1099-C : The collection agency failed to issue a 1099-C for the debt that was settled for less than the owed amount. I am unaware of the exact amount the collection company paid for this item, and my credit report does not reflect such amounts. The failure to issue the 1099-C or report accurate information about the settled amount is a clear violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my credit reports with the discrepancies highlighted for your reference.
