Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Pentagon Federal Credit Union ( PenFed ) regarding multiple issues I have experienced with their services, which I believe were unfair and not properly explained. 

Denial of Credit Card Application : I applied for a credit card with PenFed, but my application was denied. I was not given a clear explanation for this decision, and I believe the denial was made without appropriate transparency or consideration of my creditworthiness. 

Closure of Checking Account Without Explanation : At some point, PenFed closed my checking account without providing any clear reason for the closure. I was not notified in advance or given any opportunity to address any concerns that may have led to the account 's closure. 

Denial of Account Reopening : After my account was closed, I attempted to reopen it, but PenFed denied my request without offering an explanation or giving me an opportunity to resolve whatever issues led to the closure. 

These actions have caused significant inconvenience, and I am seeking clarification on why these decisions were made. I believe that PenFed has not adhered to proper customer service standards and has failed to provide adequate communication regarding these issues. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter to ensure that PenFed is held accountable for its actions and that my concerns are properly addressed

Company: Block, Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I am filling a complaint against cashapp ( Block, Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally complaint regarding multiple overdraft fees apply to my account. These fees were assessed despite having sufficient funds available at the time the transactions were authorized. However, due to the delayed posting of charges and credits, I was unfairly charged overdraft fees. 
This issue appears to be 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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equitax 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 ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 
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. This is the account that I have marked as inaccurate XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am very concerned about the handling of claims using zelle. Particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting serious issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle many times and filing disputes for transactions that were unauthorized my financial institution failed to investigate my claims adequately. I was informed that recovering lost funds through the zelle platform is impossible and tracking these transactions is unfeasible. The CFPB has identified that not only has zelle not protected its consumers but continued to allow repeat offenders to exploit the system which is unacceptable.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
