XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  Has been reporting since  XXXX  an account for the  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  over a payment that was between my insurance and the billing department of the clinic. The Clinic was in dispute with the billing company due to over payment and improper billing.

Instead it was not properly removed by all reporting agencies and updated with   XXXX    on  XX/XX/XXXX .     I was advised this morning that this is still active and not deleted.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
A debt collection company named  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  continuously sending me letters during the past  2-3 years  asking me to make a payment of {$660.00} they claimed that I owe Bloomingdales. I have never applied a credit card, or never did I purchase anything that did n't pay at first place in Bloomingdales, so I do n't know where does this {$660.00} come from. What 's even more suspicious is that they asked me for my SSN, and because I was n't aware of how unsafe it can be, I exposed my SSN to them. I have absolutely no idea on how to handle this at the moment, so I am looking for your help. Thank you!

Complaint:
In   XXXX  , after Hurricane  XXXX  I applied for and granted a forbearance ( Disaster Relief ) by  XXXX . As stated in prior complaints this company is very deceptive, I have been notified by  XXXX  credit reporting agencies that my payments for the  XXXX  months for forbearance are now being reported as 90 days late. This has tremendously brought down my  credit score.  I spoke with the Ombudsman from  XXXX  who assured me, as well as apologized  XXXX  times. That my credit would in no way be effected, these payments would go on the end of my loan. However, this is not the case. It has also been reported that they were late payments made in  XXXX  and  XXXX  that are not true,  XXXX  said these should have been removed in  XXXX . Looks like that was another lie. I am suffering from  XXXX   XXXX  and the undue stress of their practices is wearing on me. I think  XXXX  needs to understand everyone is not going to stand for their bad practices.     I would like this resolved ASAP, as I look for another mortgage company to service my needs.

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

Complaint:
Navy Federal Credit Union willfully and knowingly ( 15 usc 6823 ) is practicing a deceptive form of collecting on a debt which is a violation of my rights as a consumer under U.S.C title 15 chapter 41 COMMERCE AND TRADE ( SUBCHAPTER 5 ) FAIR DEBT COLLECTIONS PRACTICES ACT. My social security number was used to loan me my own credit from the master promissory note ( which is equivalent to money according to 12 usc 1813 i ) aka the car loan application, I filled out online via Navy Federal Credit UnionXXXX financial institutional app. I know my social " SECURITY ( number ) is valuable. NFCU is a debtor illegally barrowing against my security and loaning it back to me according to 12 USC 83. I know that NO BANK can use my funds ( aka dollars ) for fractional lending because all obligations belong to the United States according to 18 USC 8. Furthermore, when I put my signature on this security, NFCU failed to fully disclose the consumer transaction. 

This is an advisory of NFCU 's best interest to be cooperative of my requested remedies. Otherwise, pursuant to 28 usc 3001 civil suit through the United States district court will be fervently be pursued and executed. You all are highly aware of the power I have as the consumer, natural person, and original creditor which is why I will stop at nothing to get this matter to be favorably settled.
