Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (GA)

This is a Covid-19 related late payment dispute from a Navy Federal Go Rewards Credit Card for the months of XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a removal request letter to the CEO of Navy Federal Credit Union. I did not receive a response, nor were the late payments removed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Navy Federal Credit Union to inquire about the removal process of the 2 Covid-19 related late payments being reported and not removed. I was directed to file a dispute directly through the credit bureaus. I filed a dispute, in which the bureau reports Navy Federal confirmed the report to be accurate and did not remove the late payments. I called Navy Federal back with the results of the disputes. They then directed me to write dispute letter, enclosed with my credit reports and send it directly to them. They received that letter on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX they sent me a standard email saying the exact same thing the bureaus did. 

They are unaware of or not following the law in accordance with Section 4201 " Credit Protection During Covid-19 '' I am not disputing anything before XX/XX/XXXX. I am disputing ( 2 ) 30 day late payments appearing on all 3 of my credit reports for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. This account is open and not a charge-off. Legally these should not be there. I am a victim of XXXX please remove immediately and replace with current or ok status on all 3 credit reports. See Below SEC. 4021. CREDIT PROTECTION DURING COVID19.
