Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MI)

Was informed in XXXX that my account was listed as past due and delinquent by all three credit agencies such as Experian, XXXX and XXXX. I Started disputes with all three companies and a month later my payment balance was updated to 0 but still showed as a negative impact on my credit report and showed delinquent/charge off status. I then submitted proof of car being paid off in XXXX to all three credit agencies and there has still been no update to report. Under research, I found out an account could only be listed as delinquent if it is more than 120 days past due. This account has never been past due and proof was provided of the payments being distributed to the account to show great payment history and no months of payment being missed. I have been reaching out to XXXX directly for months to not be able to get a department that could directly assist me or even provide any relief. This has caused my credit score to drop tremendously and show a negative impact. I have worked extremely hard to make sure my credit has stayed in good conditions.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (FL)

I've disputed this account numerous of time. With the FTC, CFPB, and had an attorney. Navy Federal Credit Union could not confirm anything. Instead they continue to lie about me making payments to keep it ongoing. I provided proof that there were no way to make a payment after they lied to my attorney on me going online to make a payment. They've taken over {$1000.00} out my personal account to furnish the debt that claim I acquired. If over {$2000.00} was taken out my personal account by them for the credit card why is the amount still he same? The original credit card limit was {$5000.00}. and now the balance is over {$9000.00}. Something very fraudulent is going on. I've filed a dispute when it was brought to my attention. I was informed that I didn't have to do anything else. Every time they were asked a question to validate anything pertaining to the credit card. 

The only access there is, is of my current checking and savings account.

I was unable to be verified via phone despite giving SSN, DOB, Full name, Address, etc and they said I couldn't be verified ( equifax ) and to try logging in again and see if things changed. I've had XXXX addresses in the past few years so I finally tried my initial address to log in, which worked. There are multiple issues now. 1. ) it will not let me file a dispute online 2. ) my DOB is not even there ( XX/XX/1992 ) 3. ) There is not a single file shown of my credit despite the other two bureaus showing it. Something is seriously wrong and I need to get down to it as this is a major concern. When trying to speak to an agent at equifax, they " couldn't authenticate me '' because they couldn't locate me despite address, name, ssn and dob. This is insane as it's almost like I don't exist in the world even though I didn't have an issue with XXXX  or XXXX XXXX. I need some answers as to why my existence isn't populating in their system.

XXXX, Equifax and XXXX have furnished a credit profile without my verbal or written consent! I've demanded that they cease and desist all negative reporting as it is a violation of my consumer rights as well as my right to privacy. 1681b. Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ) of this section, any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. 

They cant produce a notarized Affidavit or contract signed by me or their senior executive where I gave them permission to furnish or post these negative items on a report. This is IDENTITY THEFT. 
The Privacy of Consumer Financial Information regulations that implement the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) may restrict this type of information sharing because it meets the definition of nonpublic personal information under the Privacy regulations. Therefore, sharing it with nonaffiliated third parties may be subject to an opt-out notice under the privacy regulations. 

Again this is a violation of my rights to privacy. They also are allowing companies to pull this report with my verbal or written consent. Another VIOLATION Except as provided in section 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ) of this Title, a consumer reporting agency shall NOT furnish to ANY person a record of inquiries in connection with a credit or insurance transaction that is NOT initiated by a consumer ( ME ) At no point did I consent to these companies pulling a report I never gave XXXX consent to create.

I wrote a letter about false information on my credit report, and more than 45 days later, I still haven't heard anything back. I think my complaint is being disregarded and that I'm being victimized of. It is precisely stated in Section 611 ( a ) that refusal to investigate these allegations within 30 days is cause for immediate removal of all false inquiries from my credit report ; given that it has been more than 60 days, they should be promptly deleted. I demand that these inquiries be terminated right away, or else I'll pursue you for the anguish you put upon my life. The Equifax data breach exposed my information well as, and it's feasible that it landed in the incorrect hands. Also apply law 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( e ) ( b ) ASAP so I know I am being treated fairly and with equal rights as a consumer.

In addition to that, I have already sent a letter to the creditor asking them to reverse these late payments.
