Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Specifically Cash app failed to take timely and effective measures to address and prevent fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing 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 multiple times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institutions and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was infeasible. The CFPBs 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.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem accessing account
Company: IDAHO CENTRAL CREDIT UNION
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding a serious issue with Idaho Central Credit Union ( ICCU ). On or a few weeks after XX/XX/XXXX, I visited an ICCU branch to request that my bank accounts be fully transferred under my sole ownership, removing my parents ' access as I had reached legal adulthood. The bank staff assured me that the accounts were successfully transitioned to my name only. 

However, I recently discoverednearly a year laterthat my parents still had access to my accounts without my knowledge or consent. They were able to view my financial transactions and have questioned me about my purchases. This unauthorized access constitutes a significant breach of my privacy and financial autonomy. 

I have made multiple attempts to contact the bank to address this issue, but I have been unable to get in touch with them for a resolution. Despite my efforts to reach out through phone calls and other means, I have not received any assistance or clarification regarding why my request was not properly fulfilled. 

I am seeking the following resolutions : Immediate confirmation in writing that my parents access has been fully revoked and no further unauthorized parties can access my accounts.

A full investigation into how and why my request was not properly executed.

Potential compensation for the distress and privacy violation caused by this oversight.

I request that the CFPB intervene to ensure ICCU complies with banking regulations regarding account privacy and customer requests.

Bank Information : Bank Name : Idaho Central Credit Union Branch Location : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Type ( XXXX ) : [ Savings, etc. ] Date of Issue : XX/XX/XXXX Personal Information : Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Contact Information : XXXX XXXX Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Complaint narrative:
To the Departments Overseeing School & Loan Server Compliance, We are writing as a collective group of defrauded students and alumni who attended XXXXaffiliated schools, urging immediate action to approve outstanding Borrower Defense applications and provide full relief for those impacted. 

Many of us attended the following institutions owned by or affiliated with XXXX, where misrepresentations and predatory practices have been well-documented : * XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX The Department of Education has already found significant evidence of misconduct by these schools. Specifically, XXXX University misrepresented job placement rates to prospective students between XXXX and XXXX, falsely claiming that 90 % of graduates secured jobs in their field of study within XXXX months of graduation. This claim, widely advertised in national campaigns and direct mailings, was later revealed to be grossly inaccurate. XXXX included old jobs held by mid-career students before enrolling and excluded graduates who found employment outside their field of study. 

At its peak, XXXX enrolled nearly XXXX students across campuses in XXXX 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 Ex

ecutive Summary and Statements of Facts. We are asking you to take immediate steps to : 1. Approve all outstanding Borrower Defense applications for students who attended these institutions
. 
XXXX. Discharge all loans associated with fraudulent practices, including consolidated loans. 
XXXX. Repair borrowers credit reports to reflect the removal of these fraudulent debts. 

Delaying action only prolongs the harm caused by these predatory institutions, leaving borrowers unable to move forward with their lives. Many of us pursued higher education to achieve the XXXX XXXX, but this dream was stolen by the very institutions we trusted to help us achieve it. 

We implore you to act decisively to ensure justice for all borrowers who were misled and exploited. The stakes are simply too high to risk further delays. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, Students & Graduates of XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

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

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX Bank account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
