Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for its failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and its obligations under federal law. Specifically, Experian has violated the following provisions : 15 USC 1681e ( b ) : Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in my credit report.

15 USC 1681s-2 : Failure to properly investigate disputes and correct inaccurate or incomplete information provided by data furnishers.

15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) : Failure to delete or correct information after conducting reinvestigations, as well as improper reinsertion of inaccurate information.

15 USC 1681c ( c ) : Retaining obsolete information that should have been excluded from my credit report. 

I have sent multiple dispute letters to Experian regarding inaccurate and incomplete information on my credit report. These disputes included inaccuracies in reported balances, erroneous late payments, and outdated collection accounts. Despite providing detailed documentation and requesting corrections, Experian has failed to conduct proper investigations, respond adequately to my disputes, or make the necessary corrections to ensure the accuracy of my report. 

Additionally, I recently became aware of the CFPBs lawsuit against Experian for its inadequate handling of consumer disputes. The allegations outlined in the CFPBs complaint, including sham investigations and the reinsertion of errors without proper notice, directly mirror my own experience. Experians failure to address these issues has caused significant harm to me, including but not limited to : Denial of credit opportunities, including being denied for a car loan in XX/XX/XXXX due to inaccurate credit reporting. 

Negative impact on my ability to secure housing, as I was rejected from a rental application in XXXX. 

Potential harm to my employment prospects, as my credit report was reviewed for a job application in XXXX. 

These issues have caused unnecessary stress, financial strain, and damage to my reputation.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

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: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally 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 discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has allowed repeated offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. The lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises concerns about customers safety.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Dear TransUnion, I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate personal information listed on my credit reports. Despite numerous attempts over the years to have this incorrect data removed, all three credit bureaus continue to report wrong names, incorrect addresses, and inaccurate employment information on my credit profile. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), I have the right to receive complete and accurate information on my credit report. Additionally, FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) mandates that credit reporting agencies investigate disputes thoroughly and correct or delete any information found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. The persistence of this erroneous data, despite my previous disputes, demonstrates a failure to meet these obligations.

The reporting of inaccurate personal identifiers increases my risk of identity theft and fraud, especially in a world where millions of people have similar names. The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information they report under Section 607 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Your failure to maintain accurate records has caused unnecessary harm and confusion.

I am requesting the immediate removal of all incorrect names, addresses, and employment information from my credit reports. Additionally, I am requesting written confirmation once these corrections have been made. Failure to address these inaccuracies properly may result in legal action under Section 616 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ) and Section 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) for willful and negligent noncompliance, respectively.

Please consider this letter my formal dispute and act promptly to correct my personal information.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding multiple overdraft fees applied to my account. These fees were assessed despite having sufficient funds available at the time the transactions were authorized. 
However, due to delayed posting of charges and credits, I was unfairly charged overdraft fees. 
This issue appears consistent with recent findings by the CFPB, which identified similar practices by Truist, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially having adequate funds. I believe these practices are deceptive and unfair.
