Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (CA)

Please see the attached letters to Navy Federal Credit Union, XXXX and XXXX. Here are the facts : 1 ) Navy Federal Credit Union initiated foreclosure proceedings on my principal residence in XX/XX/XXXX. 2 ) In XX/XX/XXXX, I filed Chapter XXXX bankruptcy 3 ) In XX/XX/XXXX, my Chapter XXXX bankruptcy was discharged along with the debts that were included in this bankruptcy, including the mortgage on my principal residence. 4 ) Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I negotiated a loan modification to my mortgage loan and began making payments in XX/XX/XXXX. 5 ) I have made monthly payments on this mortgage loan every month since XX/XX/XXXX, have never been late nor missed a payment. 6 ) I applied for a automobile loan at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and a secured XXXX credit card ( {$1000.00} deposited for a {$1000.00} credit limit ) at Navy Federal Credit Union on the same day ; the first was because I need to purchase a used vehicle and the second is because I need to re-build my credit. 7 ) The automobile loan was denied due to lack of credit history. The secured XXXX card was denied because of a past loss ( because of the Chapter XXXX bankruptcy ), despite the fact this account would be fully secured with no loss potential for Navy Federal Credit Union. 8 ) Upon # 7, I pulled all 3 of my credit reports ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ). I was shocked to see that Navy Federal Credit Union was not reporting my positive payment history on my mortgage loan for the past 4 years on XXXX and XXXX. XXXX does show my payment history accurately. When I contacted XXXX, they told me I had to get Navy Federal Credit Union to remove the " Included in Bankruptcy '' designation and then they could report the positive credit history. On both XXXX and XXXX, they are both showing my mortgage account CLOSED, when in fact it 's not. I have filed complaints with both of these agencies. 9 ) I also spoke with Navy Federal Credit Union. They claimed that since my mortgage debt ( but not the lien ) was discharged in bankruptcy, they are prohibited under Federal Bankruptcy law from reporting any credit history for debts that have been discharged in bankruptcy. Federal bankruptcy law has  nothing to do with credit reporting. The Fair Credit Reporting Act does. My point is, why ca n't my POSITIVE payment history on my modified loan be reported and published by the credit reporting agencies?? XXXX is reporting this information correctly. That is the only way I 'm going to be able to obtain credit in the future. 10 ) Finally, I spoke to Navy Federal Credit Union again this morning about potentially re-financing my loan which is currently in modification but will be due to re-set in XXXX XXXX. They told me it would be VERY likely denied because of a " past loss '' no matter my payment history since the loan was modified, no matter my income, and no matter the amount of equity I have in my home ( which is currently approximately {$180000.00} ). This is simply punitive and really should be outlawed.
