Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

XXXX XXXX I am to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles 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 CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.

Complaint narrative:
I made an XXXX transfer to XXXX XXXXn XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXn the amount of {$220.00} which has not been applied to my account. I confirmed through the website 's chat that the payment was received and processed on XXXX XXXX XXXX but was not applied to my account. Even though they have confirmed receipt of the payment they are requiring ME to provide to them proof I made the payment. This is a stall tactic which will end up with an incorrect report to the credit bureaus and potentially interest and late charges due to their negligence and refusal to remedy the error which they have admitted has been made.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: CreditNinja Lending, LLC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Via Electronic Delivery Only via CFPB Portal XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CreditNinja XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  : CFPB Complaint XXXX CreditNinja Loan No. XXXX Dear Credit Ninja, In response to your letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, you are correct that on XX/XX/XXXX, I obtained an unsecured installment loan of {$2200.00} from your institution. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I have paid a total of {$3400.00}, which is 51.8 % more than the original loan amount. However, according to your website, my remaining payoff is listed as {$1700.00}. Understandably, this amount seems excessively high. I do understand that Utah is unregulated as there is no cap, but in researching this topic brought on through recent litigation with XXXX XXXX XXXX as published in the State of Indiana, Rates of interest in the state of Indiana are governed by laws prescribed in Title 24, Article 4.5, Chapter 3 ( Loans ) of Indiana Code. Section 24-4.5-3-201 of this Chapter provides that the maximum rate of interest for consumer loans, not including supervised loans, should not exceed 21 percent per annum on the unpaid balances of the principal. Under Section 24-4.5-3-501, the rate of interest on supervised consumer loans can exceed the 21 percent per annum limit. Various rates of interest on supervised loans are prescribed in Section 24-4.5-3-508. Except as provided in subsections ( 6 ) and ( 8 ), with respect to a consumer loan other than a supervised loan ( IC 24-4.5-3-501 ), a lender may contract for a loan finance charge, calculated according to the actuarial method, not exceeding twenty-one percent ( 21 % ) per year on the unpaid balances of the principal.

While this topic may be open to debate and has many grey areas, as evidenced by ongoing litigation involving XXXX XXXX XXXX and other online predatory lenders, I acknowledge your position. That said, you have already profited significantly from this transaction. Therefore, I am respectfully requesting your consideration in forgiving the remaining balance on this account and closing it entirely. Alternatively, if you must still collect something, I can also propose a goodwill settlement of {$100.00} by me to conclude this loan transaction. I understand that this is an extraordinary request and want to make it clear that agreeing to this settlement would not imply any wrongdoing on your part as a lender. Instead, it would be a gesture of good faith to resolve this matter amicably. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
