Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
Experience has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Report 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 Experian, 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 Experian 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 Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes particularly in light of recent CFPB lawsuit, highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting Discrepancies my financial institution and Zelle have failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost was impossible and that tracking these findings was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect customers, but has also allowed to repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users, vulnerable to scams. 
The lack of accountability transparency is unacceptable And raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Halsted Financial Services, LLC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a debt that a third-party collection agency is attempting to collect. The debt amount is inaccurate, and the collection agency has not provided the necessary documentation to verify the debt, such as the original creditor information or an account number. 

Details : The collection agency has contacted me regarding a debt I do not recognize. 
The amount they claim I owe is incorrect, and they have failed to provide detailed information to substantiate their claim. 

The agency 's failure to validate the debt has caused stress and has impacted my financial well-being, as they are threatening to report or have already reported the debt to credit bureaus.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Repossession — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I entered a loan agreement with American Financial for a XXXX XXXX. They later went out of business and another Loan company purchased all the loan agreements, by the time I was notified of this situation the vehicle was up for repossession. I would try to sign into my online account where I make payments and was unsuccessful. Then there was an issue with the vehicle out of my control and I called to inquire about any recalls on that particular vehicle they told me no, so I had to pay out of pocket expenses for that. Then maybe a month later there was a recall on that vehicle, but I was never refunded the money I paid out of pocket. 
I never had a contract with WESTLAKE FINANCIAL and when they finally reached out to me I was presented with the options of starting the loan agreement over from the beginning with the same bi-weekly payments of {$250.00} after paying that same amount for a year already. My Loan agreement is not with WESTLAKE FINANCIAL.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
