Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 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 unfeasibly. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle have 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 consumers safety.

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as my final and definitive communication to your noncompliant organization before I initiate legal proceedings against all responsible parties. Let me remind you that threatening legal action without intent to follow through constitutes a serious offense. Rest assured, I fully intend to protect my rights as a consumer and will proceed accordingly if this matter is not resolved promptly.

I have repeatedly contacted your company, submitting numerous formal requests for an investigation into a series of inquiries that I firmly believe have been reported erroneously. Your continued failure to respond or take action constitutes a blatant violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This negligence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

However, in the interest of resolving this matter without escalating to litigation, I am providing one final opportunity to address my concerns. Below, I have listed the inquiries in question, which require immediate and thorough investigation in accordance with the provisions of the FCRA : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX & XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I have made several attempts to directly contact the companies responsible for these inquiries using the contact information listed on my credit report. However, my efforts have been met with the following obstacles : A significant number of the listed phone numbers are incorrect or invalid. 
For the companies I was able to reach, none have any record of my existence within their systems. If these entities lack records of me, it raises a critical question : What permissible business purpose could they possibly have to access my credit file?
