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.

Company: American Profit Recovery, Inc., Marlborough, MA Branch

Complaint narrative:
I had XXXX services provided. One was XXXX application and one was aeration and overseeding. After both of the services, I was dissatisfied and attempted to contact the company. I spoke with someone the day of the second service and they stated they would send out a supervisor but nobody came. 

I placed phone calls to follow-up on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I have also sent emails stating my dissatisfaction on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX in which I sent pictures of the results that caused my discontent with the services provided. 

I have only attached a few pictures of the areas that I thought were improperly serviced but I do have more that are as just as bad. The service person was at my house for only 15 minutes and was clearly in a rush.

Company: TransferWise Ltd

Complaint narrative:
I had established a USD account with WISE XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX in XX/XX/year>. 
I transferred XXXX USD to this account in order to pay XXXX XXXX XXXX for a booked trip. The Tour operator operates motorcycle tours in XXXX, XXXX, the XXXX and XXXX and is located in XXXX. 
This particular trip was to take place in XXXX in XXXX of this year. 
I initiated a money transfer in the amount of XXXX to pay for this trip on XX/XX/year> with the detail of the recipient 's bank account, the trip booking code and the keyword XXXX XXXX 
WISE has since then held up the transfer without notification to me. When I inquired as to the reason of the delay via their app, I received a response, stating that money could not be sent to a sanctioned country and the transfer was under review. WISE requested further documentation and I provided a copy of the invoice immediately via email. Also assuring WISE that the money was not intended for XXXX but for payment to the XXXX tour operator. The transfer has to this day not been enacted despite numerous inquiries. It now shows cancelled but the balance on my WISE account has not been updated. 
Also, I requested a smaller, remaining balance of USD XXXX to be returned to my XXXX bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. For this transfer, WISE requested proof of identity. Why? But I did scan and emailed utility bills. However, this transfer has also not been enacted and is held up under review. 

WISE is holding a total of USD XXXX of my money despite numerous requests for returning the money to me. I have lost the trip, I incurred the cost of money transfers into the WISE account. I incurred the loss of the cost of the XXXX visas and the downpayment of the trip. 

I have to assume that WISE is a fraudulent company and request your help to get my money back. Thank You
