Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Im 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 user vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.

I am filing a complaint against Cas App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have substantial reason to believe that Experian has consistently failed to conduct an appropriate level of investigation into disputed items I have submitted over the years. Despite numerous attempts to address inaccuracies on my consumer report, Experian has not complied with its legal obligations to resolve these disputes through proper investigation. 

I have sent multiple written disputes to Experian regarding unverified information on my consumer report, dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and earlier. While I have noticed that some items were initially deleted, they inexplicably reappeared on my report after being removed. 

I have repeatedly demanded that Experian delete these items due to their inability to verify the information. Despite my efforts, Experian has neither verified the disputed items nor permanently removed them from my report, which violates their obligations under the law.

Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was on the REPAY plan. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a consolidation request because I believed it would mean more of my XXXX payments would count. So far only XXXX have counted despite me working for non-profits since XXXX ( 8 years ). 
I also re-applied for an income-driven repayment plan- SAVE - ( see previous complaint against MOHELA ). 
The application, they said, never made it to them. 
I applied again. At this time, I was on an interest-accruing forbearance even though it was their administrative forbearance. 
I made a payment in XX/XX/XXXX by accident. I called them to request they put me back on a forbearance. The person transferred me to an an " advanced representative '' which led to over an hour on hold and a very rude representative on the other line who said MOHELA was putting everyone on a forbearance who qualified, and she didn't tell me if I did or not. 
Now I have over {$400.00} due because I'm suddenly past due. 
This company should not exist. It is an outrage.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''
