Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MN)

I tried to access my account with Experian to check if my credit report was frozen. Upon logging in its authentication verification only gave me one option which was to use an old phone number that is no longer active. I was trying to verify whether my credit report was frozen given the recent SSN hacking which instructed to make sure. They were able to validate the report is frozen however when I tried to get the phone number corrected so that I could log into the website I was told to recreate an account. Their website does not work, it perpetually loops me back to signing in then tries to get me to run a credit report which it then fails to do and again loops me back to signing in. In the end their website for verifying my credit freeze is not functional and I can not seem to resolve it with their phone customer service which tells me I have to send mail to them. This is ridiculous, they are preventing a service they are required to provide. Please get them to fix their website to at the very least offer verification through a mail token of something other than a phone number. The login was create 7 years ago.

If they do not validate this account, I will take legal action against them. Please follow the law so that this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.

I am writing to express my outrage at the clear violation of credit reporting laws demonstrated by the continued presence of fraudulent accounts on my credit report. Despite assurances from reputable companies and the validation of an identity theft report, these inaccurate entries remain unaddressed. 

Your failure to remove this account, despite clear evidence of their fraudulent nature, blatantly disregards the laws governing accurate reporting. It is evident that the bureau is not fulfilling its duty to properly investigate and rectify inaccuracies. 

Furthermore, other credit bureaus have already removed this account from their records after the submission of FTC report and thorough investigation. 

I demand immediate and decisive action to correct these violations.

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to be removed. 
They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

Issue: Other transaction problem — 
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (NC)

- On XXXX, I received an email from Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) dated XX/XX/ regarding an ACH from my checking account to an account at XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$5000.00}. I immediately called the NFCU XXXX team to protest this ACH as I had not authorized it, nor had I ever set up an ACH account with XXXX. Upon reviewing my account, I noted that this ACH had gone to XXXX XXXX for clothes/shoes. I do not know a person/business of that name. After discussing the situation with the NFCU fraud rep, I changed all my identifying info for my account. I was told that she would forward my protest to her supervisor, and that I would get a response within a week. 

- On the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau web site, consumers have up to 60 days to notify of a fraud. I notified NFCU in less than 1 day. 

- On the XXXX XXXX XXXX  web site, it is stated that that ACHs take at least 1 and possibly 4 days to process. I notified NFCU in less than a day. 

- On XX/XX/, I received a letter from NFCU dated XX/XX/ denying my claim based on the facts surrounding the use of my account and that I had benefitted from the transaction. It seemed to me that their letter insinuated that I was the fraudster. Additionally, the letter indicated that as a consumer, I had the right to request any documentation that was used in the decision of my claim. I called the fraud team again to protest their decision and to request the documentation they used to make that decision. The fraud rep, XXXX, said she would pass my request to her supervisor. 

- After waiting a week with no response, I called the Fraud team again on XX/XX/, I got XXXX again, and I asked her for an update. She looked through my case and said that there was no record of my protest nor my request for the documentation. She indicated that that request had to be in writing although nowhere on their XX/XX/ letter is that requirement stated. So, I wrote to request for my right to analyze their investigation. That letter went through the NFCU website to save a few days in the mail. I was told to expect a reply in 2 business days. 

- On XX/XX/ I received their response. They again denied my protest, and purposely refused to provide any information regarding their investigation. The letter appeared to me to be a boiler plate kind of response that they probably send to everyone : i.e., Please note that we are unable to provide sensitive information that does not fall within compliance. That sentence says it all, and it says nothing. And, they said it twice in the same paragraph! 

I called immediately, asked to go directly to a supervisor, and XXXX came on the line. I basically stated everything as Ive stated here, and she advised that my only recourse to gaining the investigative info was to subpoena it.
