Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as Free Annual Credit Report, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portaXXXX. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX   XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: ND
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:
I have a {$200.00} secured credit card with Navy Federal. My balance on my card was {$420.00} I was 60 days late on making my payment. I made a {$420.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX a duplicate payment was sent for an additional {$420.00} Upon realization of the additional payment I requested for it to be canceled. I asked for it to be sent back to my XXXX XXXX checking account ( which is where the funds originated ) Instead of sending the funds back the {$420.00} it was put into my Navy Federal Savings account. I have no access to move any money except to my credit card so I used my credit card to make purchases I then transferred money from my savings to my credit card to pay down my balance. My savings account has a balance of {$0.00} my credit card that I just paid off twice ( which again only has a credit line of {$200.00} ) is currently at a balance of {$310.00} I have not been able to transfer my money to any account except for my credit card. I was then informed that my original {$420.00} payment that posted on XX/XX/XXXX was declined due to insufficient funds. This was on the day when I received my tax returns and 2 separate deposits from both my jobs. The first payment I made when I got my money was the {$420.00} to pay the balance of my credit card. Once again NFCU has no idea how this occurred other than to blame me and leave me stuck with the bill. I have had my checking account taken away after I was the victim of fraudulent charges. I am also in risk of losing my account and being made to look like my claim is misleading and untruthful. I do not have money to afford the legal defense to file a lawsuit in court and prove my claim. Because of this NFCU continues to ignore my requests to resolve this. Sadly, Banks get away with this all the time. Im sure when they inevitably face another financial crisis they will fortunately not have to endure the same treatment and will instead be saved.

My friend tried to use the gift card two weeks ago but the entire security code in the back of the card was missing. It looks like the security number was erased. I spoke to a customer service representative at Vanilla XXXX XXXXXXXX name XXXX, and he asked me for my personal information such as my date of birth, address, etc. After that, he gave me an email address XXXX so I can send a copy of my driver 's license and the copy of the receipt. This sounds like a scam, something similar happens to one of my friends in the past and he was a subject of identity theft.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ; and PIONEER CREDIT COMPANY are all listed as the creditors of an account on my credit reports. Clearly, there are errors with this reporting due to the following reasons : A. All entries shows that an account was opened on XX/XX/2013, however ; these entries refer to different account numbers ( Account # XXXX ; XXXX, XXXX ) B. How can this one account have  DIFFERENT BALANCES? 

C. How can this one account have DIFFERENT DATE OF LAST PAYMENT?

D. How can this one account have DIFFERENT DATE OF ACCOUNT CLOSED? 

E. How can this one account have DIFFERENT PAYMENT HISTORY? 


I am asking for assistance from the CFPB because : # 1, I know for a fact that I DID NOT open multiple accounts on XX/XX/2013. 

# 2, I requested validation of these debts. I sent a certified letter to all three addresses listed on my reports. I have proof that all letters were received. I DID NOT get back any validations. The only correspondence that I received back was a letter stating that I applied for a loan on XX/XX/2013, but the account is now sold and I should direct all questions to the new owners for verifications. My issue and point are that the items on my credit report which are in questions have to do with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ; and PIONEER CREDIT COMPANY and the fact that they are reporting incorrect information on me and fail to validate any information as required by the FCRA.

Complaint:
I paid my first minimum payment to Comenity Bank ( charge account opened thru XXXX   in XX/XX/XXXX ) in XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$25.00}. The next month I repeated the payment amount. In XXXX of XXXX I received a statement from Comenity stating that I still owed {$1.00} from XXXX and was charged a late fee and and underpayment fee. I have since paid them what I owed them in full but refused to pay their usury fees and now they have turned me over to collection in the amount of {$260.00} and have a huge hit to my credit score. 

They refuse to back off on the matter after several letters from me. 

I feel that their tactics are fraudulent ( I owed them $ XXXXyesd XXXX dollar ). 

I want the matter cleared from my credit report. 

I no longer have the account number and no information seems to be available from the debt collection service that Comenity uses either.
