Consumer complaint received 2025-01-17 00:00:00
Product: Debt or credit management — Debt settlement
Issue: Didn't provide services promised — 
Company: Consumer Financial Services Solutions, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX who informed me, on a recorded line, that included in this program is full legal protection in case of legal action against me for a debt enrolled with this program. This was the reason I decided to enroll. 

One of my debts was settled ( for far less of a reduction than they advertised ) in XXXX. I had questions about the legal protection and wanted more details, so I followed up on XX/XX/XXXX. On that day, I found out legal protection had never been applied to my account. 

I demanded that the original call be reviewed. On that call, I requested that full legal coverage be added to my account, as initially agreed upon, with no additional charges as I was informed this coverage was included. The representative indicated the issue would be escalated and Id hear back. 

I heard nothing so I followed up again on XX/XX/XXXX. The representative told me that according to internal notes, the full coverage option was not legally allowed in the state of Colorado where I reside. Instead, a lesser coverage option had been attached to my account without any communication with me. After hearing this, I escalated to management to get a refund of the fees I have paid for this service ( According to a representative named XXXX amounted to {$750.00} ), and all money of mine they currently held due to the breach of contract. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX indicated, that after internal review, the fees paid could not be refunded. It was expressed to me that this was a misstep by " one of their affiliates. '' When I attempt to contact the " affiliate, '' which goes by " XXXX XXXX XXXX, '' all phone numbers lead to Beyond Finance. 

This company blatantly falsely advertised to me, breached our contract, and attempted to hide this from me while they profited off of deceiving me. 

Furthermore, the " debt reduction '' is a complete smokescreen. They promise a reduction in the enrolled debt, at the total on the day you enroll in the program. For one debt, we will call it XXXX XXXX, this was around XXXX when enrolled, and their app suggested that I would be able to settle this debt for around XXXX. However, when the debts skyrocket due to nonpayment ( XXXX XXXX went up to XXXX ), that is where they negotiate the settlement. They negotiated the XXXX debt down to about ... surprise ... XXXX. Which was the total amount that I enrolled. Afterward, they will take 25 % of the reduction of your debt as fees. It is in their best interest to allow your debts to grow so they can take the maximum cut, and furthermore appears to be their strategy. 

I am worse off by using this program.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
It has come to my attention that my personal information was exposed in a national data breach, compromising my sensitive data. Upon reviewing my credit reports, I identified accounts that I do not recognize or recall opening. I submitted a request to the Consumer Reporting Agencies ( CRAs ) for validation of these accounts ; however, the required documentation has not been provided as mandated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). This failure to validate the information and the presence of unverified accounts on my credit report raises significant concerns about the accuracy and security of the data being reported. To address this matter, I have filed an FTC complaint regarding the breach and the unrecognized accounts and attached supporting evidence, including my government-issued ID, a copy of the FTC complaint , the National Data Breach Notification report , and a prior Validation of Debt letter.

XXXX XXXX I am to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles 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 CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.
