Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint pertains to the improper handling of my credit application, account restriction, and Affirms failure to address my concerns, which has resulted in a breach of contract and violation of federal laws. 

1. Background of Complaint : a. On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a formal complaint to Affirm outlining multiple concerns regarding the handling of my credit application and the lack of transparency or justification for its denial. This complaint was registered under Case ID : XXXX and assigned to XXXX  XXXX XXXX Supervisor XXXX XXXX 

b. On XX/XX/XXXX, Affirm responded, claiming that additional follow-ups were required and stating that an additional 10 days were needed to address the matter. 

c. XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, Affirm again stated that 10 more days were required to resolve the issue. 

2. Failure to Resolve : a. As of XX/XX/XXXX, nearly a month after Affirms pledged 10-day response timeframe ended, no substantive resolution or further communication was provided. 

b. To date ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I have not received any follow-up, explanation, or resolution from Affirm, despite repeated assurances. The case has now been marked closed without addressing my concerns, leaving the matter entirely unresolved. 

3. Breach of Contract and Legal Violations : a. Breach of Contract : Affirms failure to adhere to the agreed-upon 10-day resolution timeframe constitutes a breach of its obligations to address and resolve my concerns.

b. Withholding or Limiting Access to Credit : Affirm restricted my account, rendering it unusable, and denied my credit application without valid cause or explanation, violating my rights under applicable federal laws. 

c. Fraud : By withholding or limiting access to my credit and failing to provide transparency, Affirm has engaged in conduct that constitutes fraud under federal statutes.

d. Failure to Provide Consideration or Performance : Affirm has failed to fulfill its obligations to perform or provide consideration for the value I extended through my endorsed application, which I consider a legally recognized security.

4. Harm Caused : Affirms actions have caused me significant financial harm and reputational injury. The restriction of my account has hindered my ability to use the services for which I provided my personal and financial information in good faith. The denial of credit without sufficient reasoning has further exacerbated these damages, causing undue stress and financial strain and inconvenience.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experian 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the continuous re-aging of an account previously held by a creditor and subsequently sold to a collection agency. This account has been inaccurately re-aged multiple times over the years, unfairly extending its reporting timeline on my credit report. 

The most recent date listed on this account is XX/XX/2018. However, prior to that, the account had been re-aged each year, artificially extending the reporting period. By law, negative accounts must be removed from credit reports seven years after the original date of first delinquency. Based on the account 's original date, it should have been removed from my credit report three years ago. 

I have contacted all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ) multiple times, disputing this inaccurate reporting. Although the bureaus conducted investigations, they never provided a satisfactory resolution. I also directly reached out to the original creditor, but they informed me that the account was sold to a collection agency. The collection agency now continues the unlawful practice of re-aging the account. 

I request the CFPBs assistance in : 1. Investigating the continuous re-aging of this account by the collection agency.

2. Ensuring compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which prohibits the reporting of negative information beyond seven years from the original date of first delinquency.

3. Addressing the credit bureaus ' failure to provide a proper resolution to my disputes.
