I am writing to formally address my concerns about Zelles handling of disputes, especially in light of the recent lawsuit filed by the CFPB, which highlights significant flaws in the platform. Despite having used Zelle on several occasions and reporting issues with transactions, neither my bank nor Zelle conducted a proper investigation into my claims. I was told that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was not feasible. The CFPBs findings reveal that Zelle has failed to protect consumers adequately, allowing repeat offenders to exploit the system and leaving users vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is deeply troubling and raises serious questions about consumer safety.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Experian regarding their failure to conduct proper investigations and remove inaccurate information from my credit report, despite multiple disputes and evidence submitted on my part. 

I have made several attempts to correct inaccuracies on my credit report through Experian, following the procedures outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite providing detailed documentation and requesting verification, Experian has repeatedly failed to conduct a thorough investigation and continues to report incorrect information. 

The inaccuracies in question are significantly impacting my creditworthiness, and I believe Experian is not fulfilling their legal obligation to ensure the accuracy of consumer credit reports. I request that your office investigate Experians handling of my disputes and enforce the necessary actions to correct these errors.

I am seeking the following resolutions : A comprehensive review and re-investigation of the disputed items on my credit report.

Immediate correction or removal of any information that can not be verified as accurate.

Assurance that Experian will adhere to their obligations under the FCRA in handling future disputes.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting for XXXX MTR Account Dear CFPB, I am filing this complaint regarding the inaccurate late payment reported on my credit file for the account listed below. Despite multiple requests for correction through disputes submitted on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, no changes have been made. This persistent inaccuracy constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Account Information : Account Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX Account Status : Closed/Paid High Balance : {$36000.00} Late Payment Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Errors and Discrepancies : 1. Late Payment Dates : A XXXX late payment is inaccurately reported for XX/XX/XXXX across XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. This discrepancy is false, as no payment was due or late for the stated period. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX : All months are marked " OK '' in the two-year history section, yet the reported XXXX late payment contradicts this accurate record. 
XXXX. Inconsistent Reporting : XXXX and Equifax fail to provide the date of the last verification, violating the FCRA requirement to ensure information accuracy.

4. Failure to Update Information : Despite multiple dispute submissions on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, the reported information remains unchanged. 
Legal Violations : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, credit bureaus are required to ensure accuracy in consumer files. This has not been upheld, as evidenced by the uncorrected inaccuracies in my report.

Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) : As stipulated in 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before payment due dates. The inaccurate late payment reporting implies non-compliance with this requirement.

Protection Against Non-Payment of Obligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act reinforces creditor responsibility to provide timely and accurate statements. The continued reporting of false late payments demonstrates a breach of these obligations.

Desired Resolution : 1. Immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment notation for XX/XX/XXXX from my credit file.

2. Written confirmation of the correction to ensure compliance with th

e FCRA and TILA. Failure to resolve this matter promptly will result in further actions, including additional complaints to the CFPB and possible legal recourse. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable investigation 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 systematic 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 accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I received an alert to my XXXX XXXX account informing me of a hard inquiry which adversely affected my XXXX credit score. The hard inquiry was from a company called Western Finance XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I immediately attempted to contact the company but to no avail after numerous attempts. I was sent to voicemail every time. I finally selected an alternative extension and was told they were no longer accepting complaints of this nature. I reached out to a local branch representative who informed me that they have been receiving a lot of these issues lately. I obtained free copies of my credit reports via XXXX for all three credit bureaus and found additional inquiries that were not permitted by me. In my attempt to re-establish good credit, I have not applied for a loan anywhere in approximately XXXX  years, so any inquiries from at least the year XXXX  forward were not permitted by me. I immediately created accounts with all three credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX and placed freezes on my accounts to hopefully prevent further compromise of my credit. I was advised to contact this agency for further advice.
