Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns using Zelle with my banking institution particularly in light of the the recent CFPBs lawsuit highlighting the specific issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting numerous discrepancies via claims my bank and Zelle failed to do adequate investigations with my claims. I have been informed that recovering the loss funds were impossible and that the tracking was infeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle not only has failed to protect its consumers but it has allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system leaving us consumers vulnerable to scams. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable and raises concerns about our consumer safety.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Equifax for its failure to conduct proper investigations into disputes regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. Despite submitting detailed evidence to support my claims, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours asserting the accuracy of the disputed accounts without providing any indication of a thorough or reasonable investigation. This conduct constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which requires credit reporting agencies to perform reasonable investigations of consumer disputes. Additionally, Equifaxs actions may also violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as evidenced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus recent administrative proceeding against Equifax for similar misconduct ( File No. XXXX ). I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the required evidence of proper dispute investigations.
