Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against cash app ( Block, inc. ) due to inadequate customer service unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take 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.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally complain about Zelle 's handling of disputes, especially with regard to the recent CFPB lawsuit that pointed out serious problems with the platform. My bank and Zelle failed to do their research on my claims after numerous uses of Zelle and reporting mistakes. They told me that lost money couldnt be replaced, and transactions could not be tracked. The CFPB report shows Zelle not only failed to shield consumers from scammers, but it has also enabled repeat offender fraud to gain access to the system leaving users open to scams. This is not accountable and transparent at all and poses a grave threat to consumer safety.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: AE

Complaint narrative:
I am contacting to officially submit a complaint about several overdraft fees charged to my account. These charges were applied even though there were adequate funds present when the transactions received authorization. 

Nevertheless, because of the late posting of charges and credits, I was wrongly assessed overdraft fees. 

This matter seems aligned with recent discoveries by the CFPB, which uncovered comparable actions by Navy Federal Credit Union, where transactions were completed with inadequate balances even though there were sufficient funds initially. I consider these practices to be misleading and unjust.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.

Complaint narrative:
For at least the full year of XXXX I have been sending in additional funds to Mr. Cooper Mortgage along with my monthly mortgage payment, assuming that anything over the required payment would be applied as Additional Principal. 
While reviewing my monthly billing statements for the past several months, I have been listed as being at least XXXX ( XXXX ) month ahead on my payments. 
I realize that this tactic has been financially advantageous to Mr. Cooper and detrimental towards my ultimate goal of finally achieving a completely satisfied home loan. 
I have never been late making any payments.

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity theft. I filed a police report and also filed an identity theft report with the FTC through their website. Experian keeps sending me a generic letter without actually checking my information. This has happened for several years with no recourse to them so they continue to do the same thing. There are several accounts that are a product of identity theft. They have continuously ignored my police report and FTC affidavit regarding this matter. Nothing has ever been researched or contacted the company. I would like this account ending in XXXX removed from my credit report as it has hindered me in getting a home loan for several years

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for failing to meet its legal obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report. Despite providing sufficient evidence to support my disputes, Experian has failed to correct or remove inaccurate or unverifiable accounts, leaving these issues unresolved and continuing to harm my credit standing. 
My experience aligns with the allegations recently highlighted in the CFPBs lawsuit against Experian, which details systemic issues including : Failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, Accepting unreliable responses from data furnishers, and Failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. 
These failures are evident in my case, as Experian has neither addressed my concerns nor provided any indication that a thorough reinvestigation was conducted. This lack of action violates my rights as a consumer under federal law and undermines trust in the credit reporting system. 
I respectfully request that the CFPB take action to ensure Experian complies with the FCRA and promptly removes or amends the disputed accounts as required. Experians ongoing noncompliance has caused significant and unnecessary harm, and I urge swift corrective measures to prevent further consumer harm. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and any updates on steps being taken to address these issues.

To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the collection account reported on my Equifax credit report by XXXX XXXX. According to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), this company is not licensed to collect debts in the state of California. As such, this accounts reporting is inaccurate and should be permanently removed from my credit report. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 USC 1681e ( b ), Equifax is required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Reporting a collection account from an entity not authorized to operate in California constitutes a violation of this standard. Furthermore, under 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), I am entitled to dispute inaccurate information, and Equifax is obligated to investigate and correct or delete unverifiable data. 

Actions Requested Proof of Licensing : Provide verifiable proof that XXXX XXXX is licensed to collect debts in California. 

Remove the Inaccurate Entry : If such proof can not be provided, permanently delete this collection account from my credit report. 

Provide Written Confirmation : Send me written confirmation of the accounts removal and an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the correction. 

Enclosed are the following documents for your reference : A copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed XXXX XXXX account. 
Documentation from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX showing that XXXX XXXX is not licensed to collect in California. 

I request that you complete your investigation and provide a response within the XXXX timeframe required under the FCRA. Should you fail to address this matter appropriately, I will escalate my concerns by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the California Attorney Generals office. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I identified several inaccuracies on my credit report maintained by Equifax, and I formally demanded an investigation and correction of these errors in accordance with XXXX laws. Here 's a summary of the issues I raised : Account Status Discrepancies : XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. 1666c ) : This account is inaccurately reported as having late payments. I requested it to be updated to " Never Late '' under the statute ensuring prompt and fair crediting of payments. 
XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. 1666c ) : Similarly, I demanded this account to be updated to reflect " Never Late. '' Inaccurate Account Reporting : XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) : This account remains on my report despite the original creditor agreeing to delete it once it was paid. I requested its deletion, citing negligent noncompliance. 
XXXX ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ) : This debt lacks proper validation. I demanded its immediate removal per the debt validation requirements. 
Incorrect Personal Information : Two addresses listed on my credit XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX incorrect. I requested their removal under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate and complete information. 
I reminded Equifax of their obligations under federal law to conduct a thorough investigation within 30 days and to correct or delete any information found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. I also referenced case law, including XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, emphasizing their duty to conduct a diligent and reasonable investigation. 

Failure to address these issues could result in liability for willful or negligent noncompliance under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o. I also requested a detailed explanation of the procedures used during their investigation and an updated copy of my corrected credit report. 

This letter reflects my commitment to ensuring that my credit report accurately represents my financial history and complies with federal law.
