Complaint narrative:
To whom this may concern, I am writing this complaint to express my tremendous financial distress that I have been facing due to the XXXX  accident I had on XX/XX/2022. As a result of the accident, I have had to deal with various issues that have affected my health, finances, and credit score. Unfortunately, I have also been forced to deal with the consequences of the delinquencies on my auto loan and credit cards from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Navy Federal, and XXXX. I am highly disappointed that XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to inform me of my outstanding auto loan balance, which resulted in delinquencies on my account. My XXXX XXXX Liability Adjuster/Claims Resolution Representative, XXXX XXXX XXXX informed me that I would have the option to add the remaining balance to my new auto loan once the claim was settled. However, I did not receive any notification to make a payment on the account to prevent any delinquencies from occurring. As a result, my credit score has been negatively affected, which has brought me further financial distress. Furthermore, Despite my efforts to stay current on my payments, my credit score has dropped from a XXXX to a XXXX, and I have had 5 missed payments on my credit cards. My income has taken a massive hit since the accident, as my business has only generated {$8000.00} between now and XX/XX/2022, compared to the {$10000.00} a month gross income I was making before the accident. The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  that I am experiencing has further added to my physical and financial burden. To make matters worse, I was not informed by my insurance company that I was supposed to show up to the arbitration hearing, which they later settled for 70 % leaning our way which I believed if I was there it would've been 100 %. I urge you to take my complaint seriously and to take the necessary steps to rectify this situation. I look forward to hearing back from you with a positive resolution. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Please take notice that on XX/XX/2023 NFCU stole the money from my tax refund in order to " settle '' the debt that was already settled from the moment of account creation. Aside from NFCU stealing the money, in which i did not give authorization. They broke the law ( 15 USC 1666h ). This law states that " A card issuer may not take ANY action to offset a cardholders indebtedness arising in connection with a consumer credit transaction. '' Also in accordance with the TILA, cash and credit can not be used in a consumer credit plan, which makes the original contract null and void from the beginning due to it being fraudulent and misleading.
