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: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Consumer Dispute Regarding Columbia Debt Recovery To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of an auto loan account by Columbia Debt Recovery on my consumer credit report. This dispute is based on violations of my rights under the following federal laws : 1. 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) : The collection agency has not provided the required validation information for the alleged debt. Despite this failure, they have furnished and continue to report this account to consumer reporting agencies. This is a clear violation of the law.

2. 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) : I have not been given an opportunity to dispute this account. The agencys failure to provide proper notice has deprived me of my right to dispute the validity of the alleged debt before it was reported.

3. False, Misleading, or Deceptive Practices : The agency has engaged in practices that are false, misleading, and deceptive in their handling and reporting of this account. Such behavior violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

4. 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) : The agency has no authority to report this account to any consumer reporting agency without first providing all disclosures required by law. By furnishing information without complying with these requirements, they are in direct violation of these regulations.

Request for Immediate Action I am requesting the following actions to resolve this matter : 1. Immediate Deletion of the Auto Loan Account : Remove this account from my credit report as it was reported unlawfully.

2. Proof of Validation : If the agency believes the debt is valid, provide all validation information required under federal law.

3. Cessation of Reporting : Immediately stop reporting this account to consumer reporting agencies until all legal requirements have been fulfilled.

Timeline and Legal Remedy Please resolve this dispute within 14-30 days of receiving this letter. Failure to comply with these demands may result in formal complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and state regulatory agencies. Additionally, I reserve the right to seek statutory damages of {$1000.00} for these violations as provided under the FDCPA.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your written confirmation of the resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

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 account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The account name : XXXX. The account name : XXXX These accounts not only have past due balances. They also habe inaccurate and inconsistent payment data which goes against consumer law 15 U.S.C 1681 ( g ). The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic misrepresentation 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 not corrected disputed item despite the evidence I provided. This is causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to correct the disputed account, as Experian inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.
