Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Removal of 30-Day Late Payment from Credit Report, Account ending XXXX I am writing to you today to request your assistance in rectifying a recent discrepancy on my credit report. 

This card had a fraudulent charge on it from XX/XX/XXXX for a single transaction of {$2000.00} to XXXX XXXX. I was unaware there was a balance on the account until it reported past due. At which time I contacted Citi through the online chat to dispute the charge. I was told the dispute was submitted but the charge never came off my card and the late charge never removed. I reached out again through online chat and they said they never saw the original dispute and it was now too late to dispute the amount. I made a request to view the transcripts on the chat with the previous representative, but they were unable to provide that. 

The dispute has concluded in my favor and a new account has been issued. The 30-Day Late Payment from XX/XX/XXXX has been removed from my XXXX and XXXX Report but is still reporting on my XXXX Report.

On XXXX XXXX I submitted a dispute using Experian and requested them to send me the documentation used to verify my debt and on XX/XX/year> they closed my dispute with only saying it was verified and accurate without providing me with that documentation. I resubmitted that dispute with the exact same comment of requesting the documentation and got the same message XXXX XXXX, 2025. Recent findings by the CFPB have brought to light significant concerns regarding Experians failure to conduct proper investigations & I believe this is XXXX of those cases. As per 15 U.S.C. XXXXi ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ), Experian is required to conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation of disputed items within XXXX days. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. XXXXi ( a ) ( XXXX ), any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable must be promptly deleted or corrected. Failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of federal law.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

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.
