Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX 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 XXXX, 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 XXXX has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my dispute regarding inaccuracies in my 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, XXXX actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPBs recent administrative proceeding ( XXXX XXXX. 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.

Complaint narrative:
I did a dispute with Experian concerning a XXXX XXXX account. The account is closed and was already paid for because they wrote it off. It's against fcra regulations because it shows a balance and closed Plus monthly payment schedule. I have tried to resolve this through them and they keep putting it right back up within a day or so and I know it takes longer than that for them to do their job so therefore they are going by previous doings. I can not get nowhere with these people and I know there's a lawsuit against them over this kind of stuff and I ask that you take that into consideration also when dealing with these people.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 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 to recovering lost funds impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFBSs finding indicates 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 lacks accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumers safety.

Complaint narrative:
We are being double charged for home security services provided by XXXX. I called XXXX to close out that account but we re still being charged by XXXX on XXXX different account number in the same home for XXXX security system. There was a second line of credit open without our consent! XXXX came by our home on XXXX different occasions the first time they came we canceled the service that same day. We called not even an hour after he left our home and said we changed our mines and left it at that. XXXX weeks later another XXXX employee sold us a much better deal but we didnt notice we were being double charged until XXXX because my fianc was making payments on the app with her card and they were drafting out payments from my checking account for the account the gentleman said he closed. XXXX has since this month closed out the account and agreed we are being doubled bill but states we have to speak with XXXX because the credit line was open them but when we call XXXX they say otherwise and its on XXXX end. We have been going back in fourth for 3 months and still paying for a credit line for equipment we do not have. It is not right at all. We barely have enough money for the system we actually have installed. To me its common sense why are you charging the same home XXXX different accounts for XXXX single home security system? I work billing for a cable company and when something like this is caught we immediately correct our error. It seem with this no one is admitting to anything wrong and still taking our money. Please help us out!
