Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in the 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 CFPBs findings indicate the 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.

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: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding multiple overdraft fees applied to my account. These fees were assessed despite having sufficient funds available at the time the transactions were authorized. However, due to delayed posting of charges and credits, I was unfairly charged overdraft fees. 
This issue appears consistent with recent findings by the CFPB, which identified similar practices by Navy Federal Credit Union, where transactions were settled with insufficient balances despite initially having adequate funds. I believe these practices are deceptive and unfair.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to property investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/, Account : XXXX XXXX  : Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information on my credit report leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) recently filed a lawsuit against Experiena, 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 name the disputed accounts, as Experian inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has falsely fabricated a credit score for me reducing my score from XXXX to XXXX. This is not a logarithmic outcome. The decision to lower my credit score was taken by an Equifax middle manager alarmed that I might be climbing out of the wormhole Equifax created for me. Heres how it works : for years Equifax has been pushing false data into the system for more than a century. An Equifax client, say XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX make a false claim ; Equifax publishes it without any verification at all. The consumer works diligently to remove it or after seven years it expires. However, the consumer still cant get a credit card because according to Equifax there is no credit history which the banks love since they dont really like lending. If the consumer manages to get a credit card Equifax steps in and says : no, no, no, your credit cards are too recent, therefore you get a drop of your credit worthiness to under XXXX, making it impossible to even rent an apartment. The responses Equifax gives to consumer complaints is to demand data they already have in the hopes of wearing the consumer down and confusing the matter. In the end the CFPB accomplishes nothing. I make this promise to Equifax : I am going to file as many lawsuits as possible and call on XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX to haul XXXX XXXX to congressional hearings in Washington. Equifax is a corrupt bad actor, a social Ill and a company that should be heavily fined if not dissolved. So, Equifax send me a free copy of my credit report and score now. Oddly enough my father worked for Equifax for more than thirty years and he hated his colleagues at your monstrous company.
