I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent.

The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry.

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. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: Regional Management Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Credit Reporting and Demand for Immediate Resolution Violation of Federal and Texas Laws Dear REGIONAL FIN, I am writing to formally address a clear violation regarding the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Sections 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ), 1681s-2 ( a ), and the XXXX XXXX XXXX under Sections XXXX and XXXX, as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which pertains to identity fraud. 

It has come to my attention that REGIONAL FIN has engaged in the unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report without my explicit consent. As mandated by federal law under FCRA Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer consent is a legal prerequisite for such activities. 

Furthermore, XXXX law under Section XXXX of the XXXX XXXX XXXX prohibits the reporting of consumer credit information without proper consent. Additionally, Section XXXX provides specific regulations to ensure fair and accurate credit reporting practices. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which addresses identity fraud, further highlights the serious legal consequences of unauthorized access and use of personal information. 

I have not provided consent for REGIONAL FIN to report any information to my credit report. This lack of explicit permission constitutes a violation of my rights under both federal and state law, potentially causing harm to my credit and reflecting a blatant disregard for the legal protections afforded to consumers. 

I hereby demand that REGIONAL FIN immediately cease all unauthorized reporting of information to my credit report, as required by FCRA Section 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) and the relevant provisions of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXX ). If this issue is not resolved within 30 days, it will be considered a willful violation of the law, subject to penalties, including those outlined under XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for identity fraud. 

Obtaining consumer consent is not optional ; it is a legal obligation. I expect immediate action to rectify this situation and bring REGIONAL FIN into compliance with both federal and Texas state laws, which protect consumers from unauthorized and damaging credit reporting practices. 

This notice is given in good faith with the expectation that REGIONAL FIN will swiftly correct these violations and respect my rights under the law.
