Complaint:
On multiple occasions, I have asked for the credit bureaus to stop violating my rights and privacy. I have not received an acceptable resolution with either attempt. Instead, the credit bureaus are not ignoring my legal rights. Because of their decision to ignore my rights, I am mentally, and physically " SUFFERING ''. I have gone into a deep depression, gone into escalated levels of anxiety, developed elevations in my blood pressure, and gone into severe distress and embarassment due to the stress that this is causing me. 

Nearly every single day of my life, I am being harassed by phone, texts, direct mail, social media direct messages, an by collection agencies sending individuals to my home and/or work with the attempt to serve me with lawsuit paperwork. Going through this has caused my life to be a very painful, and sad life to live. This violation of my rights has to STOP! It is affecting my quality of life and is making me mentally and physically sick. I beg of you, PLEASE respect my rights based upon the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

The credit bureaus are reporting the companies listed in this complaint without my written permission, without my written consent, and without my written instructions. I have not at any time provided the credit bureaus or the companies listed in this complaint with my written permission, written consent or written instructions to report these items on my credit report. They are breaking the laws set in place by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

They have broken the following Fair Credit Reporting Act laws : 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions Their violations have caused me to be denied credit, denied the right to purchase a home, declined the right to lease an apartment, denied business loans, denied employment, and denied insurance. Their violations have also caused me distress  and embarrassment. These violations must end now. 

I would like all negative information reported by or from each of the following companies permanently deleted from my credit reports immediately : 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

Complaint:
I am a victim of identity theft. I contacted " Equifax Alerts '' by phone on XX/XX/2023 Eastern standard time at XXXX am. I was connected to a representative in the dispute department by the name of " XXXX ''. I informed the representee that I was in fact a victim of identity theft and per the FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

The representative stated the only two ways to dispute identity theft is by mail or fax. The representative then stated their fax machine was down. I stated I do not have the transportation or money to send documents certified and asked about the dispute option only. The representative then informed me he can dispute over the phone but would still rather I send documents for my Federal Trade Commission Identity theft report via certified mail. I insisted on uploading documents immediately online and to provide my identity theft report number in the dispute. The representative was very reluctant to and ended our call without giving me my dispute confirmation number and sent me back into the queue.

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to make an arrangement to pay off my auto loan debt after I voluntarily surrendered it in XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that it need to be placed with a collection agency before I can set up any payment arrangements. Several calls and months later the account was still not placed. I contacted the XXXX general customer service department 3 times on XX/XX/XXXX and received 2 additional departments to contact because they are not allowed to discuss this account because it is not with their department, and that I needed to speak with XXXX ( the collection account holder ). I spoke with XXXX XXXX at XXXX who stated she could not pull up the account. I asked for a supervisor and was informed that the account was recalled in XXXX of XXXX. I never received contact from the collection agency nor was it reported with a new collection on any of my credit reports. I was referred back to XXXX XXXX because the account was recalled. When I returned the call I spoke with XXXX agent ID : XXXX and was hung up on after explaining my situation. I then spoke to XXXX XXXX ID : XXXX who confirmed XXXX notes and transferred me to a team lead. The team lead could not explain why I was never contacted by the collection agency or why it has not been replaced for collection after one year. I believe the lenders behavior violates section 807 # 14 of The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act which states The use of any business, company, or organization name other than the true name of the debt collector 's business, company, or organization. 

I believe that the lender and or new collection agency deliberately failed to update my credit report with the appropriate contact information to contact XXXX to resolve my debt which prevented me the opportunity from arranging a settlement agreement ; leaving only the option to pay in full through XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have yet to speak with any supervisors/managers regarding my issue and was told that they are unavailable on many occasions and that it will take 3 weeks for someone to call me back. I am filing this complaint to seek all remedies afforded to me under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as your department sees fit. My account number for XXXX is XXXX. Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate the accounts under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ).

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: NV
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
Today, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, I called Navy Federal Credit Union at XXXX & spoke with XXXX   to open a credit card charge dispute on my account for the following amount, {$8000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with XXXX and explained the fraud from XXXX XXXX DBA XXXX XXXX XXXX that took place on XX/XX/XXXX. Now, XXXX stated that she will open a credit card dispute but they generally except disputes within 60 days of the transaction date. Now, XXXX XXXX failed to disclose accurately about there company. XXXX XXXX told us verbally that members can get vacation packages trip 2 years in advance over any other resorts & that there membership is cheaper than XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX  notified us about yearly membership fees along with amount but failed to inform us verbally that they go up every year. The resort promised 2 free trips for attending, that we must use within 1 year which we later found out we cant use because the resort sell out 2 years in advance for Hawaii trips. These resorts mislead consumers like my spouse and I to join their resort. If we had known the truth, we would have NEVER became members. Now, we discovered the truth when we contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, when we requested a trip to Hawaii for XX/XX/XXXX, for 10 people and were told that they sell out for there Hawaii trips 2 years in advance which means that these resort companies failed to disclose this information prior to signing the contract. Now, we never knew there was fraud until XX/XX/XXXX. We were not able to dispute this transaction until now because we contacted XXXX XXXX to resolve this issue but they failed to do anything about this matter. Then we filed complaints against the resorts with the XXXX along with the State of Nevada. As of today, we have not heard anything from the XXXX  or the State of Nevada! Again, XXXX said we generally have 60 days from the time of the transaction to file a dispute. In most cases, people know about the fraud with in that time. Since we didn't know about the fraud until XX/XX/XXXX, our 60 days should start at this time which means we should have until XX/XX/XXXX to file this card dispute which we want to do! We should be allowed to have all of our funds be returned to us in full since these resorts failed to disclose everything to everyone prior to signing the contract which does violate state law ( s ) NRS 119A.710 deceptive or unfair acts, NRS 119A.410 misrepresentation, and possibly NRS 205.330 for fraud. We request to be allowed to file the dispute for these charges and get all of our funds returned immediately due to the fraud that these resorts created.
