Complaint narrative:
I am writing to torma apress 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. XXXX 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 am submitting this follow-up regarding my complaint against Concora Credit Inc . 

Under Regulation Z, 12 CFR 1026.21, a creditor must issue a refund of a credit balance within 7 business days of receiving a written or oral request. I requested a refund of my credit balance on XX/XX/year>, but Concora did not finalize the refund until XX/XX/year>, a delay of two weeks.

This is a clear violation of Regulation Z requirements. I respectfully request the CFPBs assistance in ensuring Concora provides an explanation for their failure to comply with federal law and takes corrective action to prevent recurrence. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
I am a servicemember in the XXXX getting XXXX overseas for around XXXX months. I am protected under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act ( 50 U.S.C. 3937 ). I contacted Affirm several times requesting my loan interest rate be reduced to 6 % as required by law.

Before I was able to send written notice, I was hung up on multiple times, ignored in chat, and even told that the only way to get my interest rate lowered was to borrow more moneysomething completely false under the SCRA. Representatives also acted like they couldnt hear me during calls. 

Today, I formally noticed Affirm with my XXXX XXXX orders. Instead of honoring the SCRA, they requested unnecessary documents, including a Department of Defense Short Form and a letter from a commanding officer, which are not required under the law.

Their refusal and delays have caused significant stress and possible financial hardship because I am currently serving on XXXX XXXX during a government shutdown and am not being paid. Im requesting that Affirm immediately apply the 6 % interest rate retroactive to my activation date, refund any excess interest, and be investigated for violating the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
