Following a dispute with XXXX, this account has been removed from their report because the information was found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. Attached to this letter is the confirmation of deletion provided by the other credit bureau, further demonstrating that the data provided by the information furnisher does not meet the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

During their investigation process, the other credit bureau reviewed the details of the debt and determined that the information could not be verified as accurate. As a result, they removed the account from their records. I expect the same level of diligence and adherence to the FCRA 's requirements in your investigation.

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), you are required to maintain reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy in the information contained in my report. Since this information has already been removed by another credit bureau, I request that you review this account and remove it from my report to reflect the same level of accuracy.

Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), I demand that you conduct a reasonable and thorough investigation of this dispute. The removal of this account by another credit bureau strongly suggests that this information can not be verified. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), the information furnisher is obligated to correct or remove inaccurate data across all credit bureaus with which they operate. I request that you contact the information furnisher to confirm that this information should be removed from your files.

Finally, please note that failure to comply with your obligations under the FCRA may result in civil liability under 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against TransUnion for Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Dear CFPB Members, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against TransUnion for failing to comply with the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, TransUnion has reported inaccurate information on my credit report, indicating late payments on XXXX accounts that have never been delinquent. This constitutes a violation of my rights under the FCRA. 

In particular : 1. Violation of Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) : Under this section, I have the right to ensure that my credit report contains only accurate and verifiable information. TransUnion has included inaccurate information regarding late payments.

2. Violation of Section 611 ( a ) : This section grants me the right to dispute incorrect information on my credit report and requires the credit reporting agency to investigate my dispute within 30 days. TransUnion has failed to meet this obligation effectively by not correcting the errors I have disputed.

3. Violation of Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : This section prohibits creditors from providing inaccurate or unverified information to credit reporting agencies. While creditors share responsibility in this matter, TransUnion is obligated to ensure that only accurate information is included in my credit history. 

The affected accounts are as follows : XXXX. [ XXXX  XXXX, XXXX ] that this account be deleted, or the late payments be removed. 

XXXX. [ XXXX  XXXX, XXXX ] that this account be deleted, or the late payments be removed. 

XXXX. [ XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] that this account be deleted, or the late payments be removed. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB thoroughly investigate this matter and ensure that TransUnion complies with the provisions of the FCRA by promptly correcting the inaccurate information on my credit report. I also request written confirmation that these errors have been rectified. 

I remain available to provide any additional information necessary to support this investigation.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this to formally express my concerns regarding XXXX 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 the lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect customers but 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 customers safety.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My student loan account has been over credited with a double payment since XX/XX/year>. My online account shows a total payment of XXXX on XX/XX/year> but my bank account was only debited for half that, XXXX. This has now incorrectly reduced my monthly payment amount. I think this has happened again on XX/XX/year>. There was a payment reversal but they never actually asked me for a payment again. So it looks like there are now XXXX incorrect payments that have either been incorrectly credited to my account or never collected. I've tried calling multiple times to get this sorted out but I've either been told they would fix it ( they didn't ) or that I'd have to speak to a different customer service agent ( I haven't been able to ). This is absurd, I've called them XXXX times now to get this sorted out and nothing ever happens. This is the worst company I've ever had to deal with. They have also had multiple issues with account transitions and auto payment. This feels like purposeful negligence in order to XXXX customers over. They've 'responded ' to previous complaints and closed them saying that they would investigate but they never have.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Experian 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 Experian, 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 aligned with my experience, where Experian 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 account accounts, as XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

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.
