Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because Experian has failed to properly verify a debt on my credit report, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite multiple requests for validation, they have not provided actual proof that this debt is accurate or that I am legally responsible for it. 

XXXX. Details of the Dispute On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a dispute to Experian, requesting validation of a debt that appears on my credit report. 
On XX/XX/year>, they responded, stating the debt was verified but failed to provide supporting documentation such as an original signed agreement or itemized account statements. 
On XX/XX/year>, I sent a Method of Verification ( MOV ) request via certified mail, asking how they verified the debt and requesting details of the verifying party.

Experian did not provide the requested documentation but continues to report the debt.

3. FCRA Violations Failure to Properly Investigate Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), credit bureaus must conduct a reasonable investigation and provide documentation if requested.

Continued Reporting of Unverified Debt The bureau has not provided proof that this debt is valid, yet they continue to report it.

Lack of Transparency They refuse to disclose how they verified the debt, which violates my consumer rights under the FCRA.

4. Desired Resolution I request the immediate deletion of this unverified debt from my credit report. If Experian can provide actual documentation proving that I owe this debt, I request they send it to me. Otherwise, they must remove it.

5. Supporting Documents I have attached : My original dispute letter The credit bureaus response My Method of Verification ( MOV ) request A copy of my credit report showing the disputed debt

Company: Block, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , Inc. ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding Experian 's failure to properly investigate disputes I have filed concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite providing evidence to support my claims, Experian has not taken the necessary steps to conduct a proper investigation, which violates my rights as a consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
The inaccurate account in question is as follows : XXXX. [ Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX ] XXXX. [ Account Number : XXXX ] XXXX. [ Account shows charged off. written off. past due as of XX/XX/2025. How is that accurate and still reporting as accurate. 
I have submitted disputes for these accounts and provided documentation to prove the information is either inaccurate or unverifiable. However, Experian has either failed to verify the information properly or has responded with generic " verified '' statements without explaining their investigation process or correcting the errors.

This failure to conduct a reasonable investigation has caused harm to my credit score and financial well-being, affecting my ability to [ get approved for credit, loans, housing, etc. ].

I am requesting the following actions from Experian through the CFPB : 1. Conduct a proper and thorough investigation into the accounts l 've disputed.

2. Provide me with a detailed explanation of the steps they've taken to verify or correct the information.

3. Remove any inaccurate or unverifiable information from my credit report immediately.

I am attaching all relevant documents, including dispute letters, Experian 's responses, and supporting evidence, to this complaint for your review. 
Thank you for your assistance in addressing this matter and ensuring that Experian complies with federal laws to protect consumers like me.

Company: Block, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I had been being charged from outside sources I wasn't affiliated with. I could contact anyone... the app kept repeating to contact the bill collectors or companies receiving the unauthorized payments from my account but the didn't exist or wasn't contactable with the little information that cash out was providing for the transaction. There was literally nothing I could do but watch them constantly take my money. I stopped using it all together. After months passed I eventually sent off for a new card when Cash app finally did give me someone to contact... And shortly after that not only did the same thing begin to happen again... But other I'm related cards begin to have the same withdrawals from the exact same non-existent companies.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdrafts 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's 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 that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate 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.
