Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX was notified that an account in my name was opened as a result of identity theft. Even with the notice, they refused to remove the error. XXXX was provided with multiple police reports and XXXX report showing their account was a result of identity theft. XXXX, despite clear and adequate documentation, has refused to remove the error. I have placed multiple calls and enaged in multiple conversations with XXXX escalation department to resolve the matter. The only option I was given by XXXX, was to settle the dept even though it wasnt mine. The account was accumulating lates and damaging my credit and with no other options I agreed to settle the damagign account to my credit. I was told that the account would immediatly be removed from my credit by the next month if I agreed to this fraud settlement. Well even after settling this fraud charge to stop the bleeding on my credit, XXXX still did not remove the error and it has continued on my credit for several months due to XXXX 's lies and clear negligence! 

Experian credit reporting was also involved in this deception. Experian with legal obligations to protect the consumer did nothing to protect me as a consumer. I contacted Experian on multiple occasions regarding XXXX identity theft scandal and Experian did nothing to resolve the matter even after following the outlines of their policy. I was told to send a police report or FTC report of Identity theft and this would be used to block the fraudulant charges. Experian recieved the police report/FTC report and did nothing to remove the fraudulant account. Till today, Experian has continued to break the law and remain complicit in the Identity theft fraud they continue to report illegal with XXXX. They also continue to report another identity theft account from XXXX XXXX despite recieving clear documentation of fraud. 

XXXX XXXX has been directly notified of a seperate identity theft purchase by a likely family member and they have continued to report the inaccurate information along with Experian. Despite both organizations recieving legal notification from the federal trade commision that they are reporting incorrectly due to Identity theft. Both companies continue to break the law and the XXXX XXXX XXXX by actively being complicit in illegaly reporting a known error.

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:
I am filing a complaint against Cash 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.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the actions of XXXX and XXXX in light of the recent lawsuit filed against them by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). The allegations of unfair and abusive practices outlined in the news raise serious concerns regarding the integrity and reliability of our credit reporting system. 

As highlighted, XXXX and XXXX have failed to uphold their responsibilities in providing accurate credit reports. This negligence not only damages individual consumers but undermines trust in the entire credit reporting industry. The allegations of misleading debt collection practices and the lack of timely responses to consumer disputes are particularly alarming. It is unacceptable for consumers to navigate a system that, instead of protecting their rights, exploits their vulnerabilities. 

Moreover, the implications of inaccurate credit reporting on individuals ' lives are profound. Many consumers have already faced the dire consequences of wrongful credit evaluations, including denial of loans, higher interest rates, and public embarrassment. The XXXX XXXX actions are crucial in addressing these injustices and holding XXXX and XXXX accountable. 

I urge the CFPB to pursue this lawsuit vigorously and to ensure that these companies are held responsible for their actions. It is imperative that we create a more equitable credit reporting framework that prioritizes consumer rights over corporate profit. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
We withdrew our children from this school because they were not receiving an adequate education. At the time of withdrawal, we ensured all fees for the time they attended were fully paid. Despite this, the school is now attempting to collect additional fees for services that were not earned or provided. 

This is unfair and inaccurate, and we are requesting that these unjust charges be removed immediately. The continued attempts to collect this amount have caused unnecessary stress and damage to our credit report. 

We ask for the CFPB 's assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring the erroneous charges are removed.

I have been communicating with this company since XXXX of XXXX in an effort to correct vitally important private and personal information that they so carelessly continue to misrepresent on my behalf. In XXXX, I began telling this agency that THEY HAVE INACCURATE and flat out WRONG INFORMATION listed on my credit report. They have yet to correct the items that I requested to be corrected. It is imperative because there are other people who share the same or similar names and addresses as me and I do NOT want to have any of our information mixed up as it has been in the past. This agency has violated every consumer law out there that protects me, my information, and the accuracy in reporting it. I have suffered severe humiliation and financial hardship as a direct result of their negligence. In the LONG months that I have been begging them to do right by me, they have YET to even correct my NAME and ADDRESS?!?! This is a gross misuse of authority as a data furnisher and controlling entity. According to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, this bureau is required to ensure MAXIMUM POSSIBLE ACCURACY. The inaccurate accounts and information continually being reported violates these laws : 15 USC 1681i, 15 USC 1681s-2, 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), 15 USC 1681e ( b ). Each item in dispute must be deleted immediately.
