Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this claim to express my concerns regarding how Zelle handles its disputes. Specifically in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit that highlights many issues with the platform itself. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and zelle has failed to investigate my claims thoroughly. I was informed that recovering lost fund was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that zelle has not only neglected to protect customers like myself but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving customers like myself vulnerable to scams. This lack of professionalism is unacceptable and raises serious concern about consumer safety.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts.

Complaint narrative:
I always pay my bills on time, I know this for sure. I dont understand why this company says I paid late in some months. According to USC 1666b, any billing mistake should be fixed and marked as paid on time.

I demand the late payment reported to be updated.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any. 
information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX  ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Creditor Name : [ XXXX ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency.

FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information.

TILA SECTION 1666b IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period. 
Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.

I applied for the Indigo credit card twice. Was told I needed additional verifcation and was asked to upload or send my ID card and Social Security card. The first time I mailed it, and received NO communication on whether my application was denied or approved. This second time I recieved an email and I uploaded my documents THE SAME DAY, and again, was ghosted. I heard nothing from them. Not sure why I am getting asked for sensitive information and NOTHING is being done. Im already a victim of identity theft and fraud, and this has made me very uncomfortable sending in my information and geting nothing in return. I have attached 3 emails showing they requested information and never followed through with a denial or approval. The most recent email in XXXX is where I uploaded my documents online. The older emails are where I physically mailed the documents and they recieved them and I never got a response back.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My Equifax report contains an inaccurate entry for XXXX XXXX ( acct ending XXXX ). It is reported as Collection/Charge-off with a 90-day late mark, but it is closed and shows a {$0.00} balance. A closed account with a {$0.00} balance can not legally continue to show as a charge-off or delinquent under FCRA 607 ( b ) and 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 

Additionally, Equifax lists Consumer disputes after resolution, even though this remains inaccurate and unverifiable. There is no payment history supporting any late payment, and the account should be either corrected to Closed/Transferred {$0.00} balance not derogatory, or deleted entirely if verification can not be provided. 

I have attached screenshots of the inaccurate reporting for review.
