Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am filing a complaint regarding multiple overdraft fees applied to my account. Despite having sufficient funds at the time the transactions were authorized, I was charged overdraft fees due to delays in the posting of charges and credits.

This situation mirrors the recent findings by the CFPB regarding Navy Federals practices, where overdraft fees were assessed on transactions that settled with insufficient balances, even though funds were available when the transactions were initiated. 

I believe these practices are unfair and respectfully request an investigation into my account and the specific transactions in question.

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.

Complaint narrative:
Update on XXXX report XXXX/XXXX/25 XX/XX/XXXXXXXX now has added an inaccurate amount that was {$0.00} to now {$1900.00} after company replying to the CFPB that they removed the account from my credit file and they had removed it from XXXX as well. They are now committing fraudulent activity in regards to my credit report by continuing to change the amount on a closed account. This is against the law to do this through thd FCRA laws. Account was removed from both credit bureaus and yet updated the account and changed the amount on XXXX. That is against the law. I will no longer tolerate the inadequate remarks and FCRA laws this company is breaking and have contacted an attorney to discuss legal action.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/, I was scammed out of over {$800.00} through multiple PayPal transactions. The scammer convinced me to send payments under the " Friends & Family '' option, which I later learned does not offer buyer protection. After each payment, I received fake text messages impersonating PayPal, falsely claiming that my payments were refunded. Believing these texts to be legitimate, I continued sending payments. 

Here are the details of the payments I made : Transaction IDs and Amounts : XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$100.00} XXXX - {$50.00} XXXX - {$50.00} XXXX - {$100.00} The payments were sent to several email addresses provided by the scammer, including : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX After realizing this was a scam, I contacted PayPal immediately and provided evidence of fraud, including : Screenshots of the fake refund text messages sent from ( XXXX ) XXXX, which impersonated PayPal. 
Email conversations with the scammer outlining their fraudulent requests. 
Proof that I did not receive any promised goods or services. 
PayPal refused to assist, citing their policy that " Friends & Family '' transactions do not qualify for buyer protection. My bank, XXXX, initially refunded the amount as part of a dispute but later reversed the refund after the scammer submitted fabricated documentation falsely claiming the transactions were legitimate. 

I am seeking assistance in holding PayPal accountable for facilitating these fraudulent transactions. Despite clear evidence, PayPal has failed to : Properly investigate the fraud. 
Take appropriate action to recover my funds. 
Address the loophole that allowed the scammer to exploit their " Friends & Family '' payment system. 
This has left me out over {$800.00}, with no resolution from either PayPal or XXXX. I am requesting that PayPal conduct a thorough investigation and refund the stolen funds.

Complaint narrative:
Thunderbird Collection Systems and their attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX filed a lawsuit against me for debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX, and never provided any information as to what debt was until ordered by judge. Upon receipt of information ( from court, not collectors ), it was discovered that these charges stemmed from Medicaid and an Industrial accident claim. 

Rather than backing off and fixing it, they have continued to pursue this, offering me to settle for {$1500.00}, unless I force the hospital and insurance company to reconcile it myself. I have lost over {$2000.00} in income from this with constant court appearances.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: AL

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 finding indicates that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but also has 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 consumers safety.
