Consumer complaint received 2025-01-20 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Electronic communications — Frequent or repeated messages
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX and Affirm , Inc. regarding their failure to validate the alleged debt they are attempting to collect, and for Affirms improper reporting of this debt to credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ). These actions violate federal laws, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regulations. 

Issues with XXXX XXXX : Despite multiple requests, XXXX XXXX has failed to provide sufficient validation of the alleged debt or evidence of their authority to collect it. Instead, they have provided generic letters that do not meet the legal standards for debt validation. Specifically : XXXX. Failure to Validate the Debt : Under 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) and 12 C.F.R. 1006.34 ( a ) ( 1 ), XXXX XXXX is required to provide documentation that substantiates the debt and proves their authority to collect. The documents they provided lack : - A clear assignment of the debt from XXXX XXXX, the original creditor. 
- A signed agreement demonstrating my acknowledgment or liability for the debt. 
2. Non-Compliant Communications : The verification letter provided fails to explain the chain of custody of the debt or substantiate its validity, in violation of federal guidelines. 
XXXX. Unlawful Collection Practices : The debt was marked as charged off by XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/year>, as stated in Affirms verification letter. This raises significant questions about XXXX XXXX right to collect on the debt, given the lack of proof of assignment or ownership. 

Issues with Affirm , Inc. : Affirms continued reporting of this account to CRAs is improper and harmful to my credit profile, in violation of the FCRA. Specifically : 1. Inaccurate and Incomplete Reporting : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ), Affirm is obligated to provide accurate information to CRAs. Reporting a charged-off account without reflecting its current status or its transfer to a third-party collector is misleading.

2. Failure to Investigate and Update : Per 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), Affirm must investigate and correct disputed information promptly. The fact that this account was charged off and forwarded to a debt collector months ago indicates that its continued reporting is inaccurate and detrimental. 

Impact of These Actions : The improper reporting of this account by Affirm has caused harm to my credit profile, including a lowered credit score, which affects my ability to secure financial opportunities. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX repeated failure to validate the debt has caused undue stress and wasted time, as I am left questioning the legitimacy of their claims.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
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:
This address is not correct. I'm not sure why they can't get it right but it's wrong. I've tried calling them before regarding this and their " excuse '' was that someone sent it to them that way. No one would have done that as the creditors I deal with got the address correctly directly from me, as well as I update it on line myself so there's no chance of someone else getting it wrong.

At its peak, XXXX enrolled nearly 70,000 students across campuses in 26 states and through an online program accessible nationwide. The scale of this deception has left countless students burdened with unmanageable debt and limited opportunities, as documented in the Department of Educations Borrower Defense Executive Summary and Statements of Facts.
