Complaint narrative:
I sent a dispute to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX multiple times and they have yet to respond to me with the proper verification of the bankruptcy they are reporting on my consumer reports. Sometimes they won't even respond at all. It has been over a year, and they have yet to remove this bankruptcy. Last year in XXXX 2024 XXXX stated they verified the account with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX replied saying they could not locate the bankruptcy that XXXX is claiming to verify. They sent me a letter showing it was not found. So how can these companies continue to report this on my consumer report. I Sent a new letter XXXX. They have no permissible purpose and it simply states in 15 USC 1681b these companies must have permissible purpose. I also contacted the US Bankruptcy court and XXXX they both responded that they do not provide XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX with any information. These companies are violating my rights as a consumer and the CFPB is supposed to protect me from companies like these.

The XXXX XXXX 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.

Company: John C. Heath, Attorney at Law, PLLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Lexington Law for what I believe are unlawful and deceptive practices related to their credit repair services. My experience with the company has raised several concerns that align with allegations made against them, including illegal fees and misleading marketing practices. 
Issues with Lexington Law : Excessive and Unexpected Fees : After signing up for their services, I was charged fees that were far higher than initially disclosed. These fees seemed excessive and were charged without proper explanation, leaving me feeling trapped in a service I could no longer afford. 

Misleading Advertising and Deceptive Practices : Lexington Laws advertisements and sales pitch promised straightforward and affordable credit repair services. However, once enrolled, the terms changed, and I was subjected to additional costs and vague service offerings that were not clearly explained upfront. 

These experiences are consistent with broader allegations that Lexington Law has engaged in : Charging illegal advance fees for credit repair services. 
Using deceptive marketing tactics, such as bait-and-switch advertisements, to lure customers into signing up for their services.
