I had contested my student loan debt multiple times in the year XXXX. In XXXX, XXXX  I recieved a judgment 100 % discharging my student loans thru bankruptcy. Each time I disputed, none of the agencies,,, XXXXNelnet XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX did their duty to investigate my claim... .it turned out that I became aware in XX/XX/year> that the Dept. Of Education neglected to notify Nelnet that I had won this judgment and that it was discharged. So I had been challenging over and over only to be told the amount reported was correct when it clearly was not correct and had any of these companies had done their duty to investigate I could have had this resolved and removed months ago. I would like someone to contact me to see what my options are regarding holding these bureaus accountable for neglecting and overlooking their duty to investigate ... .this is currently in litigation again... I am asking the Court to hold Dept. Of Ed in contempt for neglecting to report the XXXX balance to Nelnet once I won judgment.

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint regarding an inaccuracy on my credit report and to request further documentation related to a charged-off account with Bridgecrest, furnisher, alleged creditor. 

During my conversation with Bridgecrest on XX/XX/year>, it was disclosed to me that the account in question has been charged off. However, my credit report does not reflect this information, indicating an inaccuracy in reporting. 

Additionally, I requested a copy of the XXXX form associated with this charged-off debt, but Bridgecrest refused to provide it or doesnt need to provide it. Instead, I was directed to review the IRS website to understand the definition and requirements for issuing a XXXX. According to the IRS, the following statement applies : " Form XXXX must be filed regardless of whether the debtor is required to report the debt as income. The debtor may be an individual, corporation, partnership, trust, estate, association, or company. Do not combine multiple cancellations of a debt to determine whether you meet the {$600.00} reporting requirement unless the separate cancellations are under a plan to evade the Form XXXX requirements. '' Given this information, I am formally requesting the CFPB 's assistance in obtaining a copy or record of the XXXX form from Bridgecrest to verify the accuracy of the account 's reporting and resolution. 

The failure to reflect maximum accuracy in credit reporting and the refusal to provide the requested documentation is a violation of FCRA. I kindly ask for your support in resolving this matter promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response and a resolution to my concerns.

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.
