Company: Zip Co US Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my son purchased textbooks from XXXX and XXXX XXXX  and elected to use my Zip payment account to pay for them. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX notified us that the total cost of the ordered books had increased ( from approximately {$650.00} to approximately {$930.00} ) and asked us to reverify the payment method, and we reconfirmed Zip. Zip placed two charges, one on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$680.00} ( there is a zip fee added to the book total ) and one in the amount of {$940.00} on XX/XX/XXXX on my account for a single purchase in the amount of {$930.00} or so. I have tried contacting both XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and Zip about this issue. Both admit there should only be one charge. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX says that on XX/XX/XXXX, all they did was a pre-authorization, and they only submitted one charge to Zip, on XX/XX/XXXX, and that the first amount should have fallen off, as it was only a pre-authorization. Zip says XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX has to refund me for the original charge for them to reverse it. XXXX XXXX XXXX  says they can't reverse a charge they never made. The documentation from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX suggests they are telling the truth and that Zip has simply double-billed me and refuses to correct this. Zip has admitted there should only be XXXX charge, but they refuse to address this issue. In additon to this action, I have urged XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to stop accepting Zip.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter in the mail stating I owe emergency room bills which I have XXXX and I was seen through an emergency room which I called and was alound to use my insurance and be billed to them because of the emergency room visits. Certain bills was taking off and they sent some to the collection agency which were supposed to get billed to my insurance company. I call my company and they never received bills to pay so how can they pay something they didn't know about. The collection agency told me it's to late for the hospital to charge my insurance company so I'm held to pay now. That's not correct.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY, XXXX XX/XX/year> Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Dear Equifax Dispute Department, I am writing to express my frustration and concern regarding the Portfolio Recovery A account that remains listed on my credit report. Both XXXX and XXXX have removed this account after my disputes, yet Equifax continues to report it. I am formally requesting that you remove this account from my credit report within the next 15 days. 

I have repeatedly disputed this account with your agency, only to see it come back updated and verified without any proof or documentation of its verification. I am exhausted from the ongoing disputes and lack of clear evidence supporting its continued reporting. 

Additionally, I am fully aware of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) lawsuit against Equifax for inaccuracies and failure to properly investigate disputes. Your failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by continuing to report this inaccurate information puts you in a precarious legal position. 

Should this account not be removed from my credit report within 15 days from the date of this letter, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my consumer rights. I sincerely hope to resolve this matter amicably without escalation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

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 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 disputed 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 account, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
