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: AZ

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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred.Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my growing frustration and disappointment with your bureau 's ongoing failure to address my concerns regarding the unauthorized inquiries on my credit report. This is now the multiple time I have reached out to you about this matter, and yet the inquiries remain unresolved, which reflects poorly on Equifax 's commitment to accuracy and consumer protection.Despite providing all necessary documentation to support my disputes, your lack of action is both disheartening and unacceptable. 
These inquiries were not authorized by me and should never have been allowed on my credit report in the first place. By failing to address this issue, Equifax is perpetuating harm to my creditworthiness and undermining my trust in your ability to manage sensitive consumer data. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit bureaus to conduct thorough investigations into disputed items and ensure the accuracy of the information they report. However, your repeated inaction suggests a disregard for these obligations and for my rights as a consumer. 
I am demanding the following actions be taken immediately : XXXX. Removal of Unauthorized Inquiries : All inquiries I have previously disputed as unauthorized must be promptly removed from my credit file. 
XXXX. Written Explanation : Provide a detailed explanation of why these inquiries have not been addressed despite my repeated attempts to resolve the matter. 
XXXX. Implementation of Preventative Measures : Assure me that steps will be taken to prevent unauthorized inquiries from being reported on my credit file in the future. 
This prolonged and unresolved issue has caused me unnecessary stress and frustration.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes. This is 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 not possible 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. This left users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unsuccessful Recovery of Mistakenly Sent Funds via Zelle I attempted to send funds to a recipient via the Zelle peer-to-peer payment platform. While I correctly entered the recipient 's name from my phone contacts, the transaction was inexplicably routed to a different phone number associated with that name. 
Despite immediate notification of the error to Zelle customer support, recovery efforts were unsuccessful. I was informed that Zelle operates as a facilitator of peer-to-peer transactions and does not have the authority to reverse or reclaim funds once they have been successfully delivered to the intended recipient 's account. 
This experience highlights a potential vulnerability in the Zelle system, where discrepancies between contact names and associated phone numbers can lead to unintended transfers.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
When I was purchasing a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, American Express offered to pay for the ticket with a statement credit. I chose to have the ticket paid for by the promotional credit. Upon applying for the offered credit, the webpage loaded the credit information. Then the screen went blank with no option to retrieve the XXXX reservation and no option to retrieve the XXXX XXXX account information. 

It's a bait-and-switch tactic. 

The offer was for purchasing the ticket for a flight in XXXX days with the promotional credit. The offer was rescinded by slight-of-hand. 

I contacted XXXX XXXX at XXXX and spoke to XXXX XXXX to get the promotion and have been denied the offered promotion as shown. I requested access to my account, and was denied access to my credit information. I was told to wait until the card arrives in a week to get the offer. The flight will have flown before the credit card arrives. American Express offers virtual credit card numbers. The representative denied me a virtual card number which would have resolved the issue.
