Consumer complaint received 2025-01-18 00:00:00
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputed transactions, particularly given the ongoing scrutiny and recent findings about the platforms accountability. Despite multiple attempts to resolve discrepancies through my financial institution and Zelle, my claims were inadequately investigated. I was informed that recovering lost funds was not possible and that transaction tracking was unfeasible. 

The findings from consumer advocacy organizations suggest that Zelle has failed to implement effective consumer protection measures, leaving users exposed to fraud and repeat exploitation. This lack of security and accountability has undermined trust in the system. 

I consent to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau publishing this statement on its public database ( consumerfinance.gov ) so that others may benefit from my experience. I understand that steps will be taken to anonymize my personal details, though I acknowledge there may still be a risk of identification.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: AL

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

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

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with customer service
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX, I discovered a balance of {$9900.00} on my XXXX Credit Card account and almost {$3000.00} in interest charges, which came as a complete shock. The XXXX app consistently failed to display my credit card balance, and the screen appeared frozen or incomplete whenever I checked. I relied on the app to monitor my account, but this bug misled me into believing everything was fine. Additionally, I never received any paper statements for my credit card, further preventing me from being aware of this balance. 

Initially, I contacted XXXX customer support and spoke with multiple representatives. They dismissed my concerns and told me there was no resolution available. During my research, I found numerous complaints about XXXX customer service, which echoed similar frustrations. 

I submitted my first complaint regarding this issue, but instead of a response from XXXX, I received a response from XXXX Bank. While XXXX stated the charges were accurate, they failed to address the app bug or the lack of communication, which are clearly the responsibility of XXXXPayPal. This complaint was closed without proper resolution. 

I then submitted a second complaint, this time addressing PayPal. Someone from PayPals executive customer service team called me and left a voicemail. In the message, they said I would receive an email requesting additional information to help their developers debug the app. However, I never received the promised email. Months later, PayPal closed the complaint, claiming they needed more information, even though they failed to follow up as promised. 

As a loyal XXXX user, I have always relied on the app and trusted it to display accurate information. I have never paid interest on any of my credit cards before, as I always pay my balances in full and on time. This situation is entirely the result of XXXXPayPals failure to display my balance properly, compounded by poor customer service and a lack of follow-through. I am requesting a refund of the interest charges, an investigation into the app bug, and an acknowledgment of the mishandling of this issue.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
XXXX 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 XXXX, 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 XXXX 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 XXXX 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
