Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Experian 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 Experian has neither corrected nor removed

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out to formally raise concerns about Zelles dispute resolution process, especially following the recent CFPB lawsuit that highlighted major flaws in the platform. Over time, Ive used Zelle frequently and reported several transaction issues, but my financial institution and Zelle did not take adequate steps to investigate my claims. Instead, I was told that it wasnt possible to recover the lost funds or to trace the transactions. The CFPBs findings suggest that Zelle has failed to safeguard users and has enabled repeat offenders to continue scamming people without consequences. 

This lack of oversight and transparency is highly concerning and leaves users like myself vulnerable, raising serious doubts about the platforms commitment to consumer protection.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Reporting on Account XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint against TransUnion for failing to correct inaccurate information regarding late payments reported on my credit report for account XXXX. Despite multiple requests for correction ( letters dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ), my requests have been ignored, violating both the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ). 
Account Information ( Key Issues ) : Account Number : XXXX High Balance : {$1000.00} Payment Status : Late 60 Days ( incorrect ) Date of Late Payment : XX/XX/XXXX FCRA Violations : 15 U.S. Code 1681i : Credit reporting agencies are required to ensure the accuracy of information in consumer files. TransUnion has failed to correct the inaccurate late payment for XX/XX/XXXX despite multiple requests. 
15 U.S. Code 1666b : Creditors must send periodic statements at least 21 days before the payment due date. The inaccurate late payment suggests non-compliance with this requirement.

TILA Violations : The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) emphasizes the necessity for accurate and timely disclosures to consumers. The inaccurate reporting of late payments has caused undue harm to my creditworthiness, violating TILA 's fundamental principles. Protection Against Non-Payment of O
bligations Act ( PAANL ) : This act reinforces the responsibility of creditors to provide timely statements, preventing unfair penalties to consumers. The late payment entry is a direct violation of this principle.

Desired Resolution : Immediate removal of the late payment notation from my credit report for XX/XX/XXXX. 
Written confirmation of the correction within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 
If this issue is not resolved promptly, I will escalate my complaint further, including filing additional complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursuing legal remedies. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX Enclosures : Copies of previous dispute letters, supporting documents, and relevant sections of the FCRA and TILA.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I currently have checking account and savings account with Capital One Bank, and I just recently discovered that someone is using my SSN illegally with a credit card account with Capital One. The account has my information with a fake person 's name on it and my dead wife 's birthday is the birthday on the account. So I called them and ask them about it and they told me that they would not give me any information on it because I was not the main person on the account and that's the reason why I'm getting in touch with the cfpb so I can get to the bottom of this. I also tried to get them to close the account down they would not do that either.

Company: NCB Management Services Inc.
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
NCB Management Services Breach of Arbitration Clause : Based on information from my credit report, I identified the alleged original creditor. While I am unfamiliar with this account, I discovered through the CFPB database that the creditors agreement includes a binding arbitration clause. 


I am 100 % certain that I have not participated in any arbitration arrangements or mediations regarding this account. 


The debt collector refuses to provide the original contract containing the arbitration clause and has acted in bad faith by initiating collection and reporting activities in violation of the agreement.

2.

Failure to Validate Debt ( FDCPA 1692g ( b ) ) : No valid documentation has been provided to establish the debt collectors legal right to collect. Validation requires : The original signed agreement identifying me as the debtor.

A chain of title proving ownership transfer of the debt.

Billing statements alone do not constitute lawful validation of a debt. Courts have consistently ruled that debt validation requires contractual evidence showing liability. ( See XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which holds that a billing statement is insufficient validation as anyone could generate such a document without proving a legal obligation. ) 3.

Lack of Debt Validation Notice ( FDCPA 1692g ( a ) ) : The debt collector failed to issue a validation notice within five days of initial communication, depriving me of my right to dispute the debt.

4.

Improper Credit Reporting ( FDCPA 1692g ( b ) & FCRA 1681s-2 ( b ) ) : The debt was reported to credit agencies without proper validation, violating FDCPA and FCRA requirements to ensure accuracy before reporting. 5.

Failure to Respond ( Estoppel by Silence ) : The debt collectors failure to respond to lawful requests for validation bars further collection efforts.

Billing statements are not valid debt validation. Proper validation requires the original signed agreement and proof of assignment, as billing statements can be fabricated using personal information. Without these documents, the debt collector can not prove their legal right to collect. Furthermore, the arbitration clause in the creditors agreement invalidates collection or reporting activities unless arbitration is pursued, which has not occurred, making these actions unlawful.

Resolution Sought : I request the CFPB to take immediate action to compel the debt collector to provide the required documentation and ensure compliance with all applicable laws.
