Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
I contacted XXXX to obtain my free credit report. 
( Had already received one from XXXX with no problem. ) First via their website. I gave them all the pertinent information IE Social Security number, Birth date etc. After filling in all their questions I was declined with a : We are unable to confirm your identity .... 
I called and requested the report and answered their questions IE. SS # Address etc Then they asked me about a car loan and some other financial questions which I did not recognize ... .They declined my request and put me thru to a live person I told them what happened and they said I had to Fax my id and social security card. 
I said I did not have a fax number and could not afford to pay to fax the documents but I could upload them and asked for an email address. 
He said there was only one way to do it and that was by fax. 
This seems highly discriminatory considering this could have been solved with email. 
Why I can not upload this on their website does not make sense. 
I need my report so I can see what, if any, negative information is on it. 
I am who I say I am. 
If you need any information to confirm that just let me know and I will be happy to give it to you. 
I have XXXX and MXXXX XXXX. 
I have XXXX and this has caused me great XXXX and XXXX. I would like to fix what ever credit problems I have. 
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. 
As a Federal agency you have all of my information on your files. 
It will be easy for you to confirm who I am. 
Thanks R.D.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: NJ
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Complaint:
Almost two months ago I attempted to open a Navy Federal checking + savings account. I went through the entire online process without issue and was not notified of any problems. I deposited at that time {$95.00} into a checking account, {$5.00} as required into their savings. Approximately two weeks went by and after receiving no email contact, phone calls, or snail mail, I called in. I was told that they needed to verify ID and proof of address. I said, great, not a problem, got the ID number XXXX, a fax number, and sent the required items over. Again another week or two went by, zero communication, zero notification of any problems. I called in yet again. This time I was told my ID did n't come through OK. I told the woman I spoke to, fine, I 'll email it directly to the pertinent department. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a scanned, high resolution copy of my license, along with access code XXXX to XXXX. No response. Crickets. No mail, no phone, no anything. Yet again I call in to get a status update. Apparently that email, despite going to the precise email address provided - and despite having CONFIRMATION that the email was sent, apparently went into an abyss. I told THAT woman that either this gets resolved on the phone today ( at this time, late XX/XX/XXXX, more than a month after attempting to open the account ) or the account is closed today. The relevant department did not find the email and did not provide a convenient means to provide that information for a third time, thus I immediately demanded closure of the account. Closure was GUARANTEED. REfer to the XXXX recording that you supposedly keep. And a check in the mail was to be sent. And yet on XX/XX/XXXX I receive a letter in the mail requesting ID and proof of address to be sent. Which btw, was quite literally the first communication from Navy Federal to me at any point in this two month process. All other communication was me having to get in touch with Navy Federal And on this call, I 'm told that I need to show up at a bank location to close the account and get my XXXX money back. I 've wasted multiple hours and now I 'm being told a simple closure process that gets me my XXXX money back requires wasting MORE time as you are n't around the XXXX corner. I WANT MY XXXX MONEY BACK AND I WANT YOU TO LOSE ANY AND ALL OF MY INFORMATION If that does n't happen, I 'm taking everything viral. I have consumer 's list of 100k that I will put this story in front of and I will incentivize it going viral if need be.

After contacting the Federal Court Clerk office, I was told that they do not report to credit bureaus. I then challenged them on the accuracy, compliance of where this information came from.

I formally requested that this information be immediately deleted from the credit file that they maintain under my Social Security number as its violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
I o  btained my Transunion credit report on line. There were U. S. Bankruptcy Court items listed on my credit reports. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file.
The County Recorder of Deeds and the Bankruptcy Courts have also reviewed the Public Record section youre your Transunion Credit Bureau. They both mailed me letters which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW.
My inquiry to the County Recorder of Deeds and U. S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed Transunion Credit Bureau has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering the information indicating a Fair Credit Reporting Act violation, I need all tax lien and bankruptcy information currently showing under my social security number to be PERMANENTLY DELETED from my credit report immediately.
The Transunion Credit Bureau needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with these Public Record Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. In the meantime, to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all the information listed under Public Records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ).       See document attached from the courts.

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
A check for the amount of {$23000.00} was mailed to our local school tax office ( XXXX School District ) via USPS in XXXX. After noticing that the check was not deposited, I called the tax office to confirm they had received it, and they said they had not. That same day, an unknown individual cashed the check I had mailed to them, washed the PAYEE name ( originallly XXXX School District ) and replaced it with " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and cashed it for themselves, apparently ( according to Wells Fargo XXXX at a XXXX bank location. 

I immediately filed a dispute claim ( XXXX ) with Wells Fargo ( on XX/XX/23 ), and was told that it would be resolved and my funds returned within 10 business days. On XXXX, I went to our local Wells Fargo bank location to inquire about filing a police report for the incident ( which I did ). The banker I spoke with reviewed all of the evidence I had, and let me know that there would not be any issue confirming that this was a fraudulent transaction. She added all of the notes and evidence to the claim, and provided me a number to call to check in on the status. She also informed me that she had another customer provide evidence of an incicident of check fraud with the exact same behavior and handwriting the very same day I was there. The police officer who took my report mentioned that there were 3 similar bank fraud police reports submitted in the previous 24 hours as well. 

I called Wells Fargo multiple times to request an update but was told that I needed to wait 10 business days for a resolution. When I called to check in on the claim status on XX/XX/23, I was informed that my original claim was closed, but a new claim ( # XXXX ) was open opened with their fraud investigation team on XX/XX/23 ( without any notification to me ). I was told that the original promise of resolving the issue within 10 business days was now reset when they opened a new claim. The rep I spoke with offered to " escalate '' the claim to ensure it was resolved in 24-38 hours. 

After waiting 5 days, without any funds refunded to my account, I called the Wells Fargo Fraud hotline tonight ( XX/XX/23 ), and was a told that the new claim ( # XXXX ) was resolved and " Denied ''. They claimed the issue was with XXXX, the bank that accepted and cashed the check, not Wells Fargo that dispursed the funds. 

I will supposedly have a call from their escalation team within the next 1-2 business days to discuss the reasoning for this matter, but I have little hope at this point that this will be resolved without legal action.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We applied for the HomeOwners Assistance Program in Wisconsin and were awarded XXXX that was sent to Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX. 

They have refused to give us a breakdown of how the money was applied. 

Our Balance at the time of the Homeowners Assistance progran was XXXX with XXXX in a deferred status from XXXX. 

The payment from the state fund was to pay off the deferred amount and to pay the tax bill due from XXXX. 

Now the statement says we owe XXXX and there is still XXXX under deferred interest and they have given me the run around every time I call and will not send a breakdown. 

I believe they have violated our rights under the Truth and Lending Act because how could our balance be XXXX and they are sent XXXX and the loan balance only decreased by XXXX and they are saying we owe XXXX in back payments. 

This makes no sense. 

Please assist.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.
