Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Getting the loan — 
Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (NJ)

I have been a Member of PenFed Credit Union since XXXX. I have paid for all XXXX of the previous products I borrowed on time and in full. However, when I applied for a debt consolidation loan, I was denied because I failed to pay back my previous loans on time. This claim is false ; at the time of my application, PenFed obtained my Credit Report from XXXX, and my XXXX score was XXXX points with XXXX derogatory marks. 

When I contacted PenFed, a customer service agent ( XXXX ) and his supervisor informed me that the underwriting department had notes on my account to revoke me for a credit card and I'm only eligible to get a personal loan with a co-signer even though my debt to credit ratio is less than 5 %. The agent also informed me that I was flagged as high risk because I have filed disputes with the credit bureaus for holding Penfed accountable for reporting accurate information, which is still present on my XXXX report. 

The internal notes left on my PenFed account are misleading and preventing me from obtaining access to capital from the Pentagon Federal Credit Union even though I am financially stable and qualified to receive loans and products.

My loan was Forgiven effective XX/XX/XXXX, I received the confirmation letter on XX/XX/XXXX. The letter states that the credit bureaus would be notified by the end of the month and my status updated. I followed up with XXXX in XXXX because I did not see a change on my credit report the next month and was told on the first initial to send the credit bureaus the letter I received and to dispute the item, but that they had reported on the XXXX of that month and I should see the change in XXXX, I did this and the credit report investigated and said that XXXX had confirmed that the account was still open and owed and did not remove it from my credit report. I contacted XXXX again and was subsequently told it takes sixty days from the time the loan was forgiven to be removed from the credit report and that it should be reported at the end of XXXX and I should see an update to my credit score in early XXXX, when XXXX came and there was still no update to my credit report I contacted XXXX again and was subsequently told that it takes 90 days from the date of the letter for them to update my credit report and that since my letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX that XX/XX/XXXX would constitute 90 days and that after that If I had not seen a change to my credit report by the beginning of XXXX I could contact model and that is when they would have to take action. When XXXX rolled around and there was still no change in My credit report, I contacted XXXX again and this time was told that all the prior information I had received again was incorrect and that it takes 90 business days for them to report the status to the credit bureaus. I have been given incorrect and false information every step of the way and it seems they keep changing the timeframe based on rules that I am not made privy to. However what I do know is that before my loan was forgiven it was reported accurately every month on the last day of the month like clockwork, yet for whatever reason now they are unable to report it for 4 months going on five and according to their new calculation 6 months, which seems unnecessarily long to manufacture an update that has been confirmed with several letters and clear statement showing I have a XXXX balance. I am complaining about the lack of valid information I have received, the inability of the servicer to practice due diligence and the long timeframe that basically is negating everything having a loan paid off should do, because if they are not updating it with the credit bureaus it still looks like I am carrying that debt.

A charge off is considered a certificate of indebtedness which means it is income and must be removed. I recently came across information related to charged-off amounts and their implications under the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) regulations. According to the IRS Article, a charge-off is considered a certificate of indebtedness. Per the IRS income can not be reported. The IRS Clearly defines a charge off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which in fact makes reporting of this account inaccurate.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after XXXX  days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within XXXX  days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over XXXX  days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
