Capital One Auto Finan XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Dispute of Late Payment Request for Correction Dear Capital One Auto Finan, I am writing to formally dispute a late payment reported on my account XXXX due to improper application of my payment, in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b of the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ).

I made a payment of {$680.00} on XX/XX/year>, which was processed under the guidelines set forth. However, despite timely submission, I was unfairly assessed a late fee and/or reported to credit bureaus for late payment. 
To resolve this matter, I respectfully request the following actions : 1. Immediate reversal of the late fee applied to my account.

2. Correction of any negative credit reporting related to this disputed late payment.

3. Written confirmation that my account is in good standing.

I expect your prompt investigation and response to this matter within the required 30-day period under the Fair Credit Billing Act. If this issue is not resolved appropriately, I may escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) or other regulatory authorities.

Please provide written confirmation of the resolution at your earliest convenience. You may contact me at ( XXXX ) XXXX or XXXX for any further information. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

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 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 that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.
