Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

I've been Bank of America XXXX XXXX XXXX bank for 20 years. I took {$2800.00} cash to the XXXX XXXX ATM to deposit it @ XXXX on XXXX. The ATM took the cash, then turned off and said Out of Order and spit card out and kept the cash, no receipt given. I went inside the branch where I was making the deposit via ATM, the teller told me that unfortunately for security purposes they don't have a key to the ATM and that I needed to call the number on the ATM. I drove back to the ATM where it was still in Out Of Order mode, called the number and sat on hold for 20 minutes before someone came on and told me that I would receive a credit in my account that was usable next day ( XXXX ) while they complete the investigation that could take up to 45 days. While I was on the hold the machine came back on and was good to take new transactions. 
Today is XXXX, the money is not there, and after a 2nd phone call and 20 minute hold time I was apologized to for being misinformed about the credit, and told that because of the dollar amount that they would be sending a technician out to the machine to perform an investigation, and that they had 10 days to determine if they were crediting me the amount or not. 
I feel like at this point my bank has stolen {$2800.00} from me. I'm going to make one final attempt at speaking with a person in the branch to day at XXXX before calling to make a police report.

Midland Credit Management is reporting a debt that is not mine. I recently checked my credit file and noticed this debt reporting on there. It looks like they are trying to collect for XXXX? I have never had an account with XXXX for as long as I've been alive. This account must be fraudulent and I have filed a police report for this account. I ask that during this investigation period Midland Credit remove all negative reporting from my credit file and such deletion letter will be provided to me. Reporting unvalidated debt on credit could constitute fraud under both federal and state laws so I ask that Midland Credit remove this account immediately.

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 30 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 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 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 XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Repossession — Account reinstatement or redemption after repossession
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (VA)

I was informed by a representative of Navy Federal Credit Union that my vehicle, which had been repossessed, could be retrieved from the tow yard after making the necessary payments and arranging for future payments. Acting in good faith, I complied with these directives immediately, making the required payment and securing an agreement for future payments. 

However, after calling the tow yard, I was met with the distressing news that my vehicle was not there and was instead being prepared for auction. This shocking revelation was the first I had heard of any auction, as I had not received any redemption letter, notice of intent to sell the property, or any other correspondence that is customarily provided to consumers in such circumstances to inform them of their rights and the status of their repossessed property. 

The misleading guidance provided by Navy Federal Credit Union not only caused me considerable emotional distress but also left me without the means to recover my vehicle, for which I had already made payment. The absence of transparent communication and the subsequent discovery of the auction plans have led me to believe that Navy Federal Credit Unions actions were not only intentional but deliberately deceptive, causing me undue stress and afflicting harm by potentially depriving me of my property without proper notice. 

I implore the CFPB to investigate these practices promptly. The behavior exhibited by Navy Federal Credit Union in this matter appears to be in violation of consumer rights and may reflect a broader pattern of deceptive practices potentially affecting other consumers. 

I am prepared to provide further detailed information and documentation as needed. I seek the CFPBs assistance in resolving this issue and ensuring that such deceptive practices are not perpetuated. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this serious matter.
