Complaint narrative:
I am writing 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 users vulnerable to scams. lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

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

Company: Block, Inc.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Block, Inc. ( XXXX : SQ ) is a publicly traded corporation whose principal executive offices are in XXXX, California. Block offers multiple digital payments products for businesses and consumers, including the point-of-sale payment system Square and the consumer payment service Cash App. Cash App is one of the largest peer-to-peer payment platforms in the United States, with more than XXXX XXXX accounts. It allows consumers to send and receive electronic money transfers ; accept direct deposits ; and use a prepaid card, Cash Card, to make purchases and ATM withdrawals. Block made approximately {$7.00} XXXX in gross profit in XXXX, approximately {$4.00} XXXX of which was generated by Cash App. 

Cash App attempted to avoid many of its investigative obligations through tricking consumers with its Terms of Service. For example, many Cash App users link their bank account to the app. When a transaction occurs, the money is pulled from the users bank account and sent to the transaction recipient. In Cash Apps Terms of Service, consumers are led to believe that disputes are the responsibility of their linked bank. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act generally requires that peer-to-peer platforms, including Cash App, investigate disputes of unauthorized transactions, and a company can not simply use fine print to escape these legal requirements. When it did conduct investigations, Block used intentionally shoddy investigation practices to close reports of unauthorized transactions in the companys favor.

Block also deprived Cash App users of meaningful and effective customer service and left the network vulnerable to criminals defrauding users. While Block included a telephone number on the back of its Cash Card and in its Cash App Terms of Service, for many years this telephone number did not connect consumers to customer support of any type. Instead, it led to a pre-recorded message directing consumers to contact customer support through the app. Consumers could only contact Block through the app or through U.S. mail and were often met with delayed, inadequate, confusing, or inaccurate responses. Consumers looking for an alternate route to Cash App customer service through web searches were targeted by fraudsters posing as Cash App representatives, who tricked them into giving up their passwords and other personal information. Block knew that its customers were being targeted by fraudsters in this way but failed to take timely action to address the issue.

Complaint narrative:
I received a report in my mailbox from a company called Innovis. The Case id on this letter is XXXX. This company stated I placed a security freeze on the report through them so they were writing me to let me know they added information. The problem is they have added a social security number to my file that doesnt belong to me. My identity has been stolen! I keep trying to get all of this information that is fraudulent taken off my reports and blocked but instead the information keeps being verified even though it is fraudulent. These individuals have gotten apartments and cars in my name they have gotten credit cards and checking accounts in my name and these reporting agencies keep ruining my credit by allowing the fraudulent information. Instead of helping I get messages that state that the information is accurate and nothing is being done. Im adding XXXX and XXXX to this complaint because XXXX is always saying the information in accurate and its literally fraudulent. XXXX doesnt even have a working number to get an agent to help because their online doesnt even allow me to get a copy of my report without paying. I know at this point I sound like a broken record but if this was happening to you what would you do.
