Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally document that my personal information was compromised as a result of a data breach, which has subsequently been used to open fraudulent accounts in my name without my authorization. This breach exposed sensitive data, including [ specify types of data, e.g., Social Security number, date of birth, address, etc. ], enabling identity thieves to commit financial fraud under my identity. 

I have not authorized or initiated any of the accounts in question, and I am a victim of identity theft stemming from this breach. The fraudulent accounts have caused significant harm to my personal credit and financial standing, and I am taking all necessary steps to address this issue, including disputing the inaccuracies with credit reporting agencies, filing an identity theft report, and requesting the immediate removal of all fraudulent accounts from my credit report. 

I request your cooperation in investigating and resolving this matter promptly and urge all entities involved to act in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and identity theft protections outlined under federal law.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdrafts fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

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.

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 reporting, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved.

These failures align with my experience, where experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items dispite 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

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.
