Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's dispute handling, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit that highlighted significant platform issues. Despite multiple uses of Zelle and reported discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle inadequately investigated my claims. I was told that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has neglected consumer protection and 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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WI

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. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. XXXX ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX 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 XXXX 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 XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

I have disputed inaccurate late payments on multiple occasions, including : CFPB Complaint # XXXX Mailed Disputes : XX/XX/XXXX ( Tracking # XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX ( Tracking # XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX ( Tracking # XXXX ) Despite providing supporting documentation, Experian repeatedly marked the disputes as " verified '' without actually reinvestigating the inaccuracies, violating FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). The accounts in dispute include : XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) late payments incorrectly reported for XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX late payment XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XX/XX/XXXX late payment XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX late payments Experian also failed to provide a valid XXXX  under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ), refusing to disclose : The name of the entity verifying the disputed items The contact details of the verifier A detailed explanation of how the verification was conducted This mirrors the CFPBs XX/XX/XXXX, lawsuit against Experian, which alleges the same failure to conduct reasonable reinvestigations and reliance on unverified third-party data. 

Due to these errors, I have suffered : Denied credit applications Higher interest rates Loan denials Financial harm and emotional distress I am requesting immediate correction, suppression of disputed items if verification can not be provided, and monetary relief for damages under FCRA 616.
