Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is completeandaccurate.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I bought merchandise from XXXX using my Navy Federal debit card for {$3500.00}. XXXX marked the package delivered on XX/XX/year> with a signature by XXXX. I do not know anyone by that name, no one by that name lives at my address, and I never received the package. I reported this immediately to both XXXX and Navy Federal. 

XXXX  support later admitted in writing that my claim with them was mistakenly closed and then reopened ( i.e., mishandled ). They never provided proof that I personally received the goods. 

When I opened the dispute, Navy Federal wrote to me on XX/XX/year> that it could take up to 4 months to hear from the merchant and that a temporary credit may not be issued while they review the claim. That is not consistent with Regulation E ( 12 CFR 1005.11 ), which requires a provisional credit within 10 business days if the investigation is not finished, and a resolution within 45 days ( 90 only in limited scenarios not applicable here ). 

On XX/XX/year>, Navy Federal did post a temporary credit for the full amount while the investigation continued. Then, I received an email dated XX/XX/year> stating my claim was denied and that the provisional credit would be removed. The denial letter does not state any findings or evidenceit simply says they are unable to pursue recovery of funds paid to the merchant and suggests I seek resolution with the merchant. There is no signature, photo, or other proof tying any delivery to me or my household, and no explanation of how Navy Federal concluded the transaction was valid.

Why this violates Regulation E : Navy Federal relied on vague review language and provided no written findings or documentation supporting the denial, contrary to 1005.11 ( d ) ( must provide a written explanation of the investigation results and, upon request, copies of documents relied upon ).

Their up to 4 months/ no temp credit message conflicts with 1005.11 ( c ) ( provisional credit within 10 business days if more time is needed ; 45-day investigation limit, 90 only in narrow exceptions ). 

Given the unknown signer ( XXXX ), XXXX admitted mishandling, and my evidence of non-delivery, Navy Federal did not conduct a reasonable investigation before denying and reversing the provisional credit.

Retaliation concern : I have filed multiple valid disputes with Navy Federal over time. Based on repeated vague responses and the threat of a 4-month wait/no provisional credit, I am concerned about possible retaliation or unfair treatment in how my disputes are being handled.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because TransUnion is reporting a XXXX XXXX account with a XXXX XXXX bankruptcy remark even though the account was paid in full, closed on XX/XX/year>, and has no negative payment history. 

This reporting is inaccurate and misleading under FCRA 607 ( b ) because it implies that XXXX XXXX was included in a bankruptcy when it was not. My bankruptcy was filed and discharged in XXXX and this account was already satisfied and never reaffirmed through that process. 

Additionally, the account shows a {$0.00} balance, no past due, and no missed payments, which confirms it should not carry any bankruptcy or derogatory remark.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding a significant issue with my auto loan through Huntington Bank. My vehicle was totaled, and my insurance company issued two checks to pay off the remaining balance on the loan. Both checks were sent and received by Huntington.

However, the bank posted one of the checks on an incorrect date later than when it was actually received. Because of this error, a small balance remained on the account. As a result, interest continued to accrue and late fees were added, even though the funds to pay off the loan were sent in a timely manner.

I have spent over two months trying to resolve this, including 15+ calls with the bank. On multiple occasions, I have had Huntington representatives on the phone with my insurance company and myself simultaneously, and the bank admitted to the posting error. I was told that if they corrected the posting date to the date the payment was actually received, the account would be paid off in full and all accrued charges would be cleared. 
Despite these assurances, as of XX/XX/year>, a {$220.00} balance remains due to improper late fees and interest. This has caused ongoing stress, unnecessary time spent resolving the issue, and potential damage to my credit.
