Complaint narrative:
I discovered that my personal information was used without my consent to open accounts or make unauthorized purchases. I did not initiate or authorize any of the transactions or accounts associated with my name. I believe my identity was compromised through theft or fraud, and I immediately took steps to report the issue to the authorities and the affected companies. Despite these efforts, the companies involved have not fully resolved the matter or removed the fraudulent charges and accounts from my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I honestly can't believe this is happening. As someone who follows the law, it's incredibly frustrating and insulting to have my rights as a consumer violated like this. There are fraudulent charges on my credit report that I never benefited from, and despite reporting them to the Federal Trade Commission, they still havent been removed. Its causing me so much stress and anxiety.

Complaint narrative:
I have reported numerous accounts & inquiries to no avail. I am filing a complaint against XXXX for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report.

This practice violates the 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.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I have been communicating with this company since XXXX of XXXX in an effort to correct vitally important private and personal information that they so carelessly continue to misrepresent on my behalf. In XXXX, I began telling this agency that THEY HAVE INACCURATE and flat out WRONG INFORMATION listed on my credit report. They have yet to correct the items that I requested to be corrected. It is imperative because there are other people who share the same or similar names and addresses as me and I do NOT want to have any of our information mixed up as it has been in the past. This agency has violated every consumer law out there that protects me, my information, and the accuracy in reporting it. I have suffered severe humiliation and financial hardship as a direct result of their negligence. In the seven months that I have been begging them to do right by me, they have YET to even correct my NAME and ADDRESS?!?! This is a gross misuse of authority as a data furnisher and controlling entity. 

According to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, this bureau is required to ensure MAXIMUM POSSIBLE ACCURACY. The inaccurate accounts and information continually being reported violates these laws : 15 USC 1681i, 15 USC 1681s-2, 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), 15 USC 1681e ( b ). Each item in dispute must be deleted immediately.

Complaint narrative:
I made a complaint on XXXX about my account being froze for no reason, and immediately after my complaint my account was unfroze and I was able to use my card. I deposited a check at the atm for {$2500.00} from XXXX and my deposit was accepted. It was pending credit because I did the deposit on a weekend. When the bank opened the following day my deposit was removed from account as if it was never deposited. I contacted the bank and I was told my account was pending closure for whatever fraud reason they came up with. This was done in retaliation because of my previous complaint with CFPB. Now my check is void and I dont have it in my possession. My check has been written on with my Centinnial account number so it is void and no longer good. Now I have a pending closure due to personal decisions, and I am left with life issues to face. I ask that this situation and employees be governed for constructive fraud.

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 proces 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.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the garnishment of my bank account by XXXX XXXX XXXX Portfolio Recoveries Associates LLC for a debt that I believe is time-barred under the statute of limitations in my state. 

XXXX XXXX Portfolio Recoveries Associates Formerly XXXX XXXX {$10000.00} XXXX XXXX The debt in question is over 20 years old, and as such, I believe it should no longer be enforceable under the statute of limitations. I do not believe I owe this amount. The debt appears to be past the legal time frame for collection, and I was not provided proper notification that would allow for the garnishment of my account. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assist in addressing this matter and help ensure that any improper garnishment is reversed. Additionally, I request that an investigation be conducted into whether the debt collector violated any consumer protection laws, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) or any applicable state laws. 

Please inform me of any steps I need to take to resolve this issue, and I would appreciate your assistance in ensuring that this matter is addressed fairly and promptly. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
