' 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subjection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' The financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX, XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they absolutely do not have my written consent.

Navy Federal Credit Union locked my account on XX/XX/2023. By the time I was made aware the department was closed. I called today on XX/XX/2023. They claimed a {$950.00} payment was fraudulent and that I am now responsible for that money that was withdrawn out of my account. Further they locked my account access and are not allowing me to login or make payments through the mobile app. I have spoken with the sender of the funds and they are saying they did not report any transaction as fraud. This was told to the representative whose name is XXXX. If you listen to the phone conversation dialed from XXXX you will see that the representative claimed the transaction was reported as fraud. The sender has a sworn and signed statement claiming the payment was authorized. This proves the representative lied.
