Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (TX)

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. 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.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (VA)

I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding their handling of my credit card account and to express my concerns about potential discriminatory practices within their lending policies. 

As a loyal customer of Navy Federal, I have maintained two auto loans and two credit cards, consistently making my payments on time each month. However, despite my responsible credit behavior, I have only received two credit limit increases in nearly two years. I have repeatedly requested a credit limit increase, which I believe is essential for my financial growth and credit utilization management. 

Recently, I have come across reports in the media alleging XXXX discrimination by Navy Federal against XXXX and XXXX individuals. As a member of a minority group, I can not help but feel that my requests for a credit limit increase may be influenced by these troubling practices. This lack of support from Navy Federal is hindering my ability to reach my credit goals. A higher credit limit would not only lower my credit utilization ratio but also enable me to perform balance transfers from smaller subprime cards, ultimately improving my credit score.

I am concerned that Navy Federal 's practices may be unfairly limiting opportunities for individuals like myself, who are trying to build and maintain healthy credit profiles. I urge the CFPB to investigate these practices and hold Navy Federal accountable for their treatment of customers, particularly those from marginalized communities.
