Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am submitting this complaint regarding Transunion 's failure to properly investigate my consumer report dispute, in direct violation of their obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). On XX/XX/year>, I filed a formal dispute with Transunion to correct fraudulent and inaccurate information appearing on my consumer report. Instead of conducting a proper investigation, Transunion responded with a stall letter that neither addressed my dispute nor took steps to resolve the inaccuracies. 

I am aware that the CFPB has recently filed a lawsuit against Transunion for these very same practices namely, their systemic failure to properly investigate consumer disputes. I am a direct victim of this misconduct. 

As a XXXX veteran who suffers from XXXX, this experience has been extremely stressful and emotionally triggering. I am currently in the process of closing on a mortgage, and I am under strict time constraints with only one week remaining to finalize my home purchase. Transunions refusal to lawfully process my dispute is putting my homeownership at serious risk, compounding my stress and potentially causing irreparable harm to my financial future. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB take immediate action to ensure Transunion fully complies with the FCRA, properly investigates my dispute without further delay, and removes the fraudulent and inaccurate items from my consumer report. I also request that Transunion be held accountable for the injury and distress they have caused. 

I am attaching supporting documents, including copies of my dispute submission and Transunions stall letter, should you require further evidence of their noncompliance. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

Company: SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my vehicle was repossessed by San Diego County Credit Union ( SDCCU ) in violation of California law.

No notice before repossession : SDCCU never sent me the required 15-day written Notice of Default and Right to Cure before repossessing the car, as required under California Civil Code 2983.2. I was not given any opportunity to cure the default. I was only one month behind. 
My checking Account was frozen prior to repossession : On XX/XX/year>, Through XXXX XXXX SDCCU froze my checking account. This prevented me from accessing my own funds to make a payment. I had sufficient money to cover the overdue balance, but the freeze made it impossible to cure the account. This conduct directly violated my right to redeem under California Commercial Code 9601.

Failure to call, email or provide itemized bill or post-repossession notice : After the repossession, SDCCU did not provide me with a legally required Notice of Intent to Dispose of Collateral or an itemized balance of what was due. California Civil Code 2983.2 ( a ) requires this information, but it was never given to me. 
Mishandling of personal property : At the tow yard, I was not provided with an inventory list of my belongings inside the car. Instead, I was pressured to quickly check the car and sign a document under duress that did not reflect what I actually signed. This violated my rights and left me without documentation. 
Damage to my vehicle : During the repossession on XX/XX/year>, the tow company towed my car with the emergency brake engaged. This caused mechanical damage. When I raised the issue, the yard staff dismissed my concerns. Under California Civil Code 1714, creditors are responsible for negligent or commercially unreasonable repossession practices. This series of actions shows a deliberate pattern of unlawful conduct by SDCCU : 1. Freezing my account to block payment.

2. Repossessing without the legally required notices. No call or email or bills.

3. Refusing to provide post-repossession disclosures.

4. Mishandling personal property and forcing signatures under duress.

5. Causing physical damage to my vehicle. I have already filed complaints with : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Center Case No. XXXX ( closed and forwarded ). 
California Department of Financial Protection & Innovation Complaint No. CN XXXX ( currently under review ). I am requesting that the CFPB record this complaint, notify SDCCU, and take appropriate action regarding these unlawful and abusive practices.
