Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within XXXX hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. 
This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 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.

5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Advertising — Confusing or misleading advertising about the card
Company: Netspend Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I believe Netspend is using spam-like or otherwise deceptive practices to gain prepaid debit card users. Over the last month, I have received close to XXXX XXXX letters from Netspend. All have my physical mailing address but are addressed to other people. 

Starting on XX/XX/XXXX through to today, I have tried working with Netspend directly to remove myself from their mailing list. It is clear that Netspend 's internal business practices do not have logical tests, such as whether this address is valid for the person 's name. Clearly opening close to XXXX XXXX accounts associated with XXXX address should have been an internal controls flag. Further, the fact that I have tried emailing with Netspend and continue to receive letters shows that something is wrong with their account opening process.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Subject : Dispute of Reinserted Information in My Credit Report I am writing to formally dispute the reinsertion of information previously deleted from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have noticed that the following item ( s ), which were previously removed following a successful dispute, have been reinserted without proper notification and certification as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( C ). 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to the FCRA : 1. Certification Requirement Before reinserted information can be placed back onto my credit report, the credit reporting agency is required to obtain certification from the furnisher that the information is accurate and complete. If such certification was not obtained, the reinsertion violates the FCRA. 
2. Notification Obligation Under the law, the credit bureau is required to notify me within five business days of the reinsertion, providing details including the furnishers contact information and my right to dispute the item again. I did not receive any such notice, which is a direct violation of my rights under the FCRA.

3. Ongoing Dispute Rights I am exercising my right to dispute this reinserted information once again, and I request that you promptly reinvestigate and provide proper documentation verifying the accuracy of the reinserted data or remove it from my report immediately.

Please consider this letter as my formal dispute. Under the FCRA, you are required to investigate and respond within 30 days of receiving this notice. If the reinsertion is found to be unverifiable or inaccurate, I expect it to be removed immediately from my credit report. 

Additionally, I request that you remove the following unauthorized inquires : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX If this matter is not resolved within the legally required timeframe, I am prepared to escalate this issue by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and to explore any legal remedies available to me under the FCRA.

we go though the Hoops to get access to the old account and see the data.

but one step along the way is they ask that we link the current active account to a debit card. we simply do not have one to link to we have routing and account numbers to link we have personal credit cards to link but we do not have a debit card. 

Not sure what one has to do with another, they hit this one hiccup and tell me to bad so sad. 
No faxing of ID, no other laternative attempt to access the data.

Their support # defaults to email folks, they tell me they have done all they can do.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and XXXX 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 and XXXX, 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 and XXXX has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence l provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian and XXXX inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

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.
