Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Bounced checks or returned payments
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (FL)

I have a few accounts with this institution, some that I use more than others. My account ending in XXXX I hadnt used in a few weeks and kept receiving notices of returned payments. I called Navy Fed to inquire. I was advised the charge was for XXXX XXXX. I do not have a membership with XXXX XXXX and I have never been to a XXXX XXXX ever. I advised it was unauthorized. The agent assisted with closing the accounts and opening a new one. The charges were disputed. On this call I also asked why is it that we members dont receive full disclosure of the transaction that is returned. Members only receive a notice of the alleged attempt with the date and amount of the alleged attempt. Members dont know who tried or who to call and sort it out. Due to this we have received numerous fees because we are on a wild goose chase trying to find the merchant to stop the charge. I received a notice letting me know the merchant provided proof of authorization. However, this was not provided to me. I was sent a one page document claiming proof was provided ( attached ). When I asked for it, i was advised verbally proof had been submitted and I should reach out to XXXX XXXX. I have never done business with this company. I advised by NFCU and XXXX the charges were not authorized and I am still being charged for them.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I pulled a copy of my Experian consumer report and noticed an item I would like to dispute. It is as follows : Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Reason : This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRAs definitions ; rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the reported account SHALL be deleted. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for negligence. Please DELETE this item from my consumer report! 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft and is what happened with the listed account on my consumer report. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
