Consumer complaint received 2025-08-18 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Repossession — Account reinstatement or redemption after repossession
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I financed a XXXX XXXX through Navy Federal Credit Union. The vehicle was repossessed, but I never received a proper Notice of Repossession beforehand. The first letter I did receive ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) gave me only XXXX  days to pay over {$76000.00}. This letter was defective because it did not provide a full accounting, did not itemize charges, and did not include required details about the sale. Instead, it told me to call if I wanted to know how the amount was calculated, which is not how the law works. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Navy Federal sent me a Deficiency Letter claiming I owed over {$30000.00} after the vehicle was sold. That letter was also defective. It used the full charged-off balance of the loan, failed to credit me for unearned insurance or warranty refunds, and attempted to collect a deficiency even though their repossession and sale notices were unlawful. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent Navy Federal a certified dispute and demand letter, which they received ( I have signed green return receipts as proof ). In that letter I also raised serious concerns about repossession fraud, collateral misuse, loan repledging, securities violations, and their failure to comply with TILA and FCRA. Navy Federal has 15 days to respond, and I am still waiting.

I am filing this complaint so that Navy Federals violations are documented and investigated. I am requesting that the CFPB stop Navy Federal from collecting an unlawful deficiency, remove the negative credit reporting tied to this repossession, and hold them accountable for violations of UCC, TILA, FCRA, FDCPA, and securities law. 


I am still honoring the XXXX response period I gave Navy Federal in my certified letter ( expires XX/XX/XXXX ), but I am filing this complaint now so the CFPB is on notice in case Navy Federal continues to ignore its legal obligations.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against my loan servicer, 1666B, for inaccurately reporting multiple late payments on my credit report.

I was repeatedly told by loan officers at 1666B that my accounts would be paused, placed in forbearance, or temporarily suspended. Based on their instructions, I believed no payments were due during these periods. However, they failed to process the pause correctly and never notified me by email, text, or phone that the loans had become delinquent. 

As a result, I was unaware of any issues until I reviewed my credit report and saw the late payments listed. I have attempted to dispute these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureaus and with 1666B, but the late payments remain, despite the fact that they are the result of internal error and poor communication by the loan servicer.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy. 

Thank you for addressing this matter promptly. I kindly request a written response detailing the results of your investigation within 30 days, as required by the FCRA. If any item remains unchanged, please provide the name and contact information of the entity that verified its accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to XXXX you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I have called Equifax several times to inquire about my credit report score. Equifax says my score is XXXX. I asked them to explain why, and they could not. The reason for my concern is that my credit score is XXXX points higher on other bureaus, and other credit score models. I believe this is being done purposely to keep my score down causing me to not be able to buy a home or get financing when needed. The reasons given for my low score are in FACT incorrect, my XXXX is low and lowering considerably every month yet it continues to go down while other bureaus continue to go up. They refuse to remove old and outdated credit information, addresses and credit inquiries and keep asking me to send documents which i send only to be ignored. Equifax has also shared my information with outside companies and continues to allow credit checks on my account which i have asked them to stop. Sharing my personal information is a violation of federal law but they continue to share my information. even when my Credit file is locked. they refuse to accept the fact that i only have XXXX address, All other addresses are not associated with me but are family members homes, yet they refuse to remove them.
