Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), it is essential to ensure that consumer reporting agencies act with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumers ' privacy. XXXX and XXXX are such agencies, and as a consumer, you have the right to safeguard your private information, as reinforced by 15 USC 6801, which emphasizes the Congress 's policy for financial institutions to protect customer privacy and data security. 

Moreover, any financial institution, including " Furnisher of information to credit agencies, '' falls under this definition. According to 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies can only furnish your consumer report if you provide written instructions to do so. XXXX, XXXX, and the financial institution ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) do not possess your consent or written authorization to share this information. 

In addition, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) mandates that financial institutions can not disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties without informing consumers of their right to prevent such disclosure. However, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) did not inform you of this right. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information in your report without authorization, except for certain criminal convictions older than seven years. The account they are reporting without your permission violates this law. 

Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that no one should provide inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies knowingly or with reasonable cause to believe it's inaccurate. XXXX and XXXX might be in violation here. 

Lastly, 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates that consumer reporting agencies must maintain procedures to avoid violations of section 1681c and limit the distribution of consumer reports to authorized purposes, as specified in section 1681b. XXXX and XXXX 's procedures may not be in compliance. 

Finally, 12 CFR 1016.7 states that consumers have the right to opt out of reporting services at any time. Therefore, you are choosing to opt out of their reporting services.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint:
FCRA requires consumer files accurate and complete. Want account to list on credit report entire payment history & updated status ; date account was opened and closed ; credit limit ; high credit limit ; balance, high balance ; list in payment history section year and month payments were 30,60,90,120,150, 180 days late and charged off date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX informed me that account is owed by them effective XXXX. And XXXX does not own account, however account is 100 % inaccurate. 

Attached is document from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating their ownership. 


Congress was clear that credit reporting companies and furnishers have responsibilities with respect to accuracy with no exceptions for legal issues.

the CFPB, together with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), filed an amicus brief in Sessa v. Trans Union , LLC, a case in which a consumer sued XXXX, one of three nationwide credit reporting companies, for violating the FCRA. There is no dispute about the facts : XXXX reported on a consumers credit report that she owed nearly {$20000.00} on a car lease that she actually didnt owe under the plain terms of her lease. 

The consumer sued XXXX, arguing that it had violated the FCRA by failing to have reasonable procedures to assure the information on her report was accurate. XXXX argued that it couldnt be responsible for failing to do its duty because the error was legal rather than factual. XXXX also argued that the incorrect information couldnt be inaccurate because it was provided to XXXX by the company that financed the lease. 

The brief filed by the CFPB and FTC points out that the FCRA does not contain an exception for legal inaccuracies. Rather, the law commands credit reporting companies to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy. While XXXX argues that the inaccuracy on the consumers credit report was based on a legal dispute, the error was simple and straightforward : XXXX reported that the consumer owed money that she clearly did not.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I opened two savings accounts with Capital One on XX/XX/2023. I made my first deposits ( {$100.00} ) to both accounts. Both were immediately frozen the following day. After a few weeks, my funds were still listed as currently not available for withdrawal. I assumed it was normal for a new user, but after a month of having this message, I began calling Capital One to inquire about the status of my savings accounts. 

The number provided on their account message ( XXXX ) directs you to Capital Ones Customer Service line. After clarifying my accounts information, it directed me to a customer representative which is actually a voice message that instructs you to leave you name, number, and issue as a voicemail and wait for a call back. Another week went by and I had not received a call back, nor access to my savings. 

It is now XX/XX/2023 and my savings accounts are still not updated. I have called Capital One several times, using different lines listed on their site to get someone to clarify what is happening. I have not received a consistent response. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that it could take up to 60 days from the account being frozen to receive a check after theyve investigated my account. I do not know what could be investigated being that I only made one deposit. It has also now been more than 60 days ( it has been 90+ days ). 

I need answers to these circumstances as I have been in the dark since XXXX. I have not had access to the money I deposited nor do I feel comfortable continuing my savings relationship with the bank.
