Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (GA)

Navy federal placed a permanent restriction on my checkings and savings and membership acct, stating the restrictions are due to suspicious activities after contacting them via phone as well as visiting a Navy Federal local branch. Furthermore, I then received correspondence from them via US mail stating that my acct is restricted due to mis-handling my acct in the past. For the record I have done neither accusation mentioned above. I would like the restrictions to be removed from my acct so that I can resume with my normal life. Navy federal is treating me unfairly and unjust. Please help me correct this matter.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

Equifax has not performed a proper investigation because it would be impossible for the account to be verified as accurate when there are clearly so many mismatched data points. You have violated my rights under the FCRA. In XX/XX/year>, I spoke with a supervisor in your consumer affairs department and was told it doesnt matter what information I send as proof of inaccuracy because whatever the furnishing company verifies is sufficient and falls within the internal policies that Equifax has in place. Refusing to follow federal law and using secret internal laws that your company will not disclose is a direct violation. Simply matching a name, address, ss #, dob, ID # etc. is not proper verification. 15 U.S. Code 1681e states Every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of section 1681c ( Requirements relating to information contained in consumer reports ) of this title. That same section gives specific meaning of an investigative report and these steps have not been taken to assure the law is being held at the highest standard.
