Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting my 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 CFPBS findings show 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:
In XX/XX/year>XXXX  I submitted a verification request on a XXXX XXXX XXXX I did not recognize. Report number XXXX was generated with no information. 
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 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 such as in my case. Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items causing ongoing harm to my credit. I am requesting corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Complaint narrative:
Ive been using Zelle since XXXX, and over the early years Ive had to send money to various friends, family, vendors, etc. While putting in a persons number Ive accidentally sent out money to the wrong people a few times. There was no warning screen to allow me to double check the number and XXXX basically told me I was screwed and the only way to get the money back is if I called the person and begged for it back. The lack of accountability and safety regulations is unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to address an issue with a {$350.00} charge that was taken from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I believe this charge was made in error, and Id like to explain the situation and request a resolution. I signed up for a membership in XX/XX/XXXX and only used the gym for about a month. In XX/XX/XXXX, I told someone at the front desk that I wanted to cancel my membership. I assumed it was canceled because I wasnt charged for the next six months. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a {$350.00} charge on my account. I went to the XXXX location to speak with the manager, but she told me the charge was irreversible and couldnt explain why it happened. She said she would follow up with her supervisor but never got back to me. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX, and spoke to the same manager. Once again, she couldnt give me a clear reason for the charge or provide a resolution. To make matters worse, I contacted my bank to dispute the charge, and they declined my dispute twice, stating they found no error. I find this extremely frustrating because no reasonable explanation has been provided for the charge, and it clearly feels unauthorized.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles dispute resolution process, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit that has brought to light significant shortcomings within the platform. Despite being a frequent user of Zelle and reporting multiple discrepancies, I have encountered inadequate investigations by both my financial institution and Zelle. I was informed that recovering lost funds and tracking these transactions were not feasible. The CFPBs findings further underscore Zelles failure to adequately protect consumers, enabling repeat offenders to exploit the platform and leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is deeply troubling and raises serious concerns about the safety and integrity of the system.

I want it deleted from my XXXX report since it shows no validation that it belongs to me. The company sent a letter about the debt, but it doesn't show any proof that it is mine.

Writing in regard to how Zelle handles disputes. There have been times where funds have been delayed well past the anticipated clearing date with no valid reasoning. There have also been times where funds have been unauthorized. Seems very easy to exploit and run fraud through Zelle and nothing changes. As someone that used to work at a bank, countless of people are been a victim to fraud through Zelle.
