I agreed to make a donation ( thinking {$10.00} ). I oered cash, but he said he only would accept XXXX or XXXX. I asked for his XXXX username, but he asked for my phone to type it in. I handed him my phone, and in the next few seconds sent himself money from my account then gave the phone back to me as if he had simply searched the username and was allowing me to put in my own amount. Then he left. I had a suspicion of what he'd done, so I checked my account history before sending him any more money. Of course, then I found he'd sent himself {$100.00} with a memo for " rent. '' I immediately chatted to XXXX  support and reported the issue. They mentioned they would escalate to the Account Specialists team and might reach out to local law enforcement, but would not be able to provide me any updates if I reached out again and could not refund my money since it was made instantly available to the receiver. 

I have filed a police report with the XXXX Police Department.

This deliberate obscurity and lack of transparency violated consumer + trust and resulted in significant financial losses for many, breaching the Consumer Financial Protection Act and the Truth in Savings Act. I seek redress for the misleading practices and failure to fulfill their advertised promises.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation.

This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
There were 4 chargers on my account that were not authorized. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> for {$550.00} XXXX. XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> for {$830.00} XXXX. XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> for {$530.00} XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> for {$710.00} Total {$2600.00} I reported the fraud and unauthorized charges to Chime and provided hard evidence of not authorizing these charges from text message alerts to evidence showing that the company that took my money has been closed for years. My claim was then denied four times. I was told that these claims were denied because the merchant provided evidence that ruled in favor of them. I asked for these supporting documents. Chime could not provide any evidence or supporting documents for the merchant. In fact the only support documents and evidence that were provided to me was the documents I provided. I called every time after receiving these documents and told many agents and supervisors that I did not receive documentation of the merchants evidence such as a receipt or even a tracking number for whatever service or good was provided. I was told by supervisors that this was a mistake and they would request the documents again for me. Once again the documents were the exact same ( the evidence I provided and no evidence or documents from the merchant ). I then filed a report on the CFPB and my claim number was XXXX. After filling the response that was given back to me was that a XXXX charge back has been initiated on XX/XX/year>. The merchant has a deadline of 30 days to respond with compelling evidence. Today, XX/XX/year> marks the XXXX day since the XXXX charge back was initiated. I called the Chime Dispute Team and was told by agents that the merchants did not respond and that they were still waiting to hear back from the merchants. I told them that I was under the impression that the 30 days was a hard deadline. I then asked if I would be issued a temporary credit. I was told yes since they did not respond back to the XXXX XXXX Back and that I would acquire a temporary credit today in a few hours along with an email. I have since waited and have not received either. I called again and asked what the hold up was. I was told again that the merchant has not responded and was told the same thing that a temporary credit would be issued today, I then proceeded to ask why a temporary credit was not issued before. The response I received was that the agent did not know why I haven't. My main concern is that the hard deadline of 30 days is not being honored and I am not being given the temporary credit. This is leading me feel that I am being mislead and not told the truth ever since my disputes were denied four times and was lied to about evidence from the merchant in the past about this fraud claim.

Complaint narrative:
I am 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 users vulnerable to scams.This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I reviewed my credit report and discovered several discrepancies that I believe resulted from identity theft. Unauthorized credit inquiries were made, and accounts were opened in my name without my consent. These fraudulent accounts were opened on XX/XX/year>, with charges totaling {$1200.00} across multiple retailers. Given that these actions were clearly the result of someone gaining access to my personal information, I believe this constitutes identity theft. Upon noticing the unauthorized activity, I immediately contacted the credit reporting agencies to place a fraud alert on my file and requested that they freeze my credit to prevent further fraudulent actions. Additionally, I disputed the fraudulent entries with the companies involved, providing supporting documentation to initiate their investigations. Despite my prompt actions, the fraudulent accounts remain on my credit report, and the issue has yet to be fully resolved. I request that the companies involved conduct a thorough investigation into this identity theft and remove the inaccurate information from my credit file as quickly as possible.
