Consumer complaint received 2025-01-23 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly 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 or FCRA15 USC. Subsection, 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the consumer financial protection act ( cfpa ), 12 USC SS 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: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
Well originally I sent correspondence to Experian after the debt validation process done on my alleged account at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. They were not able to validate any debt or state their claim of Interest. Therefore I took the whole package and sent it to Experian to show that the account at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX should not be reported on anymore because it was not a valid debt. After this they did not do a proper investigation nor did they give me the details and it came back verified. Then again I disputed that account as well as an XXXX XXXX XXXX account as well that was not valid on my Consumer Report nor did I give either of these companies permission to report my information nor did I give Experian Authority or permission to report my private information. After I disputed this online through the means that they provide on their website once again it came back verified with no details of the investigation nor a proper investigation done. I made it clear that they did not have the authority to report this information because I did not give it. I also told them to remove any names that were not mine or any addresses that was not my current one. On XX/XX/XXXX they responded by saying everything was verified and they did not remove the names that were not associated with me nor did they remove the addresses. I found that they violated 15 USC 1681 section 2 because they were reporting the exact thing that was supposed to be excluded from My Consumer Report which contained information solely as to the transactions or experiences between the consumer me and the person making the report. I also found that they were in violation of section 2 ( e ) when they do not do a proper investigation by the means explicitly and clearly explained in the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I also found that they were in violation of section 2 ( i ) by furnishing improper and invalid information as to corrupt my identity and reputation. They were also in violation of section k ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) ( i ) for reporting false and misleading information that affected my ability to get a loan because of a stain on my creditworthiness. During this time I attempted to get a loan for a new truck as well and I was denied based upon the false and misleading information they were reporting in My ConsumeXXXX Report that was not valid.

Complaint narrative:
This debt has been classified as a charge-off ; however, it should actually be considered income, as I should have received a Form 1099-C to properly account for it. This is not a charge-off, and I am requesting its removal from my credit report, as it does not represent an outstanding debt. Since it is classified as income, it should not appear on my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
After submitting a complaint through the cfpb I had I got a response saying the credit report was updated but when I check there has been no update or any changes I called the company to see what was updated and was told nothing has been changed by the agent at Equifax so I am submitting this again please make sure they do something about this issue I provided images with proof that the information reported is inconsistent and in accurate. 

( my original complaint ) - I checked my consumer report recently and noticed that it shows late payments on an account I have always paid on time. It is a consumer report agencies job to report accurate information and its important that my report is correct. This has a great impact on my life I have never missed a payment on the following account : XXXX XXXX, account number-XXXX. Please investigate this mistake and provide proof, such as statements, showing that I was late on any payments. If you dont have proof, please fix my report to show that all payments were made on time as that would be the accurate reflection of my payments that I have made and upheld on time.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting platform. Despite using Zelle numerous of 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 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.

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 settled with insufficient balances despite initially having adequate funds. I believe these practices are deceptive and unfair.
