Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out 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 frequently reporting transaction discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle did not conduct a proper investigation. I was told that recovering lost funds was not an option and that tracking these transaction was not feasible. The CFPB 's finding demonstrate that Zelle has failed to safeguard consumers and has allowed repeat offender to take advantage of the system, leaving users vulnerable to fraud. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finished
Company: Tesla, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
After finishing a 3 year lease and paying my final balance. There was a tax bill in my account for the full year instead of reflecting a return date of XX/XX/XXXX. Without any validation or communication, Tesla paid the amount of {$810.00} and billed me for reimbursement. I had contacted XXXX XXXX and they have requested a lease termination statement documenting that I had actually returned the vehicle. I have asked Tesla for this numerous times. I've received a confirmation asking if I needed the document, but they have never sent it. The first time I had contacted the payment resolution center explaining the situation, an agent with the signature line of XXXX XXXX, replied in a condescending manner, proceeding to " explain '' to me how the lease process worked while egregiously telling me I was only billed for the time my lease was active. an amount that couldn't have possibly been calculated as they did not process any transfer paperwork with the county or XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX, 2024. probably a time that was convenient for them to transfer the title to a new owner while disregarding the impact this has on my accounts. I have submitted this e-mail for reference as well as the other responses that seem very unprofessional in nature by various people that promise resolution, yet never follow through. I have also submitted the final tax bill showing 12 months assessment as well as correspondance from the tax office reflecting the information he has in his system with an anaccurate sold date, at least as far as my account should be concerned. 

While I am trying to get this resolved, I am receiving text messages, e-mails and Tesla XXXX XXXX notifications on an almost daily basis to the point of harassment trying to collect on an amount that I have submitted enough documentation to prove is inaccurate. This has caused me much mental anguish and frustration as I feel like this institution has not taken any concern of mine serriously and will continue to harass.
