Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: ND

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding multiple overdraft fees applied to my account. These fees were assessed despite having sufficient funds available at the time the transactions were authorized. However, due to delayed posting of charges and credits, I was unfairly charged overdraft fees. 

The issue appears consistent with the recent findings by the CFPB, which identified similar practices by Navy Federal Credit Union, where transactions were settled with insufficient balances despite initially having adequate funds. I believe these practices were deceptive and unfair.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally expressed 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 the 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.
