Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FRCA ) 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 align 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 accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit that highlights significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, both my financial institution and Zelle failed to adequately investigate my claims. I was informed that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking the transactions was unfeasible. 

The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only failed to protect me and other consumers, but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. 

The lack of accountability and transparency in this situation is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX - XXXX XX/XX/XXXX DEPTEDNELNET XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Subject : Dispute Regarding Breach of Information and Student Loan Repayment Obligation Dear DEPTEDNELNET Dispute Department, I am writing to formally dispute my student loan repayment obligations due to a breach of my personal and educational information, which constitutes violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ), the Higher Education Act ( HEA ), and the Privacy Act of 1974. Due to these violations, my legal obligation to repay these loans is no longer valid, and I demand immediate resolution and corrective action. 

The specific violations include but are not limited to : Violation of FERPA ( 20 U.S.C. 1232g ; 34 C.F.R. Part 99 ) My educational records and personally identifiable information ( PII ) were disclosed without my written consent, breaching the confidentiality protections guaranteed under FERPA. Such unauthorized disclosure has compromised my privacy and financial security. 

Breach of Higher Education Act ( 20 U.S.C. 1015c, 1092 ) The HEA mandates strict protection of student financial aid and loan records. The improper handling and exposure of my records violate my rights under this law, rendering my repayment obligation legally questionable. 

Noncompliance with the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S.C. 552a ) As a federal loan servicer, you are required to safeguard my personal information. The unauthorized access, sharing, or mishandling of my records represents a direct violation of this law, nullifying any contractual obligations related to my student loan. 

Given these violations and the legal ramifications of this data breach, I demand the following actions : Immediate cessation of all collection and repayment activities related to my student loans. 

A formal acknowledgment of the breach and an explanation of measures taken to rectify the unauthorized disclosure of my personal and educational records. 

Removal of any negative credit reporting related to these student loans. 

A detailed response outlining the resolution of this matter within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days. 
Failure to comply with my request will result in formal complaints being filed with the U.S. Department of Education, the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my state attorney generals office. 

Please provide written confirmation of the resolution of this dispute and immediate action taken. I expect full compliance with FERPA, HEA, and the Privacy Act of 1974. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the accounts and inquiries listed on my consumer credit report, as they are the result of fraud or a data breach. I demand verifiable proof, including my signature or electronic signature, for any alleged authorization.

This letter is submitted personally, not through a third party, and I request that you review it carefully. I never authorized these actions, and their reporting violates my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Section 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Requires blocking of fraudulent or compromised information.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Governs permissible purposes for accessing consumer reports.

After contacting the reporting companies, I confirmed that these actions were initiated without proper validation or original proof. Since I never authorized these accounts or inquiries, they are inaccurate and must be removed. The unauthorized reporting of my consumer information by creditors or third-party data furnishers is a violation of federal law.

I request an immediate investigation and a written response confirming the removal of these fraudulent items. Failure to comply may result in legal action to enforce my rights under the FCRA.
