Complaint narrative:
I recieved an email stating I owed Jefferson Capital {$910.00} from an account they purchased from XXXX. XXXX sent me an email stating I didnt owe them anything. I reached out to Jefferson Capital to try and get some clarification and they told me not to pay the debt because it was being reported by XXXX different debt collectors, and she could have it removed for a fee. I saying to myself why would a debt collector tell me not to pay the debt they just placed on my credit report, ruining my credit in the process. It didnt make sense to me. But I went along because I want this collection gone, she asked me to pay {$1.00} together check my credit ( which I found out she had signed me up for reoccurring payments of {$25.00} a month. And she wanted me to sign a contract and pay {$300.00} up front and {$80.00} a month for credit repair. This company is a scam thats my conclusion, they tell me not to pay the debt they are attempting to collect in exchange I sign up for other services to try and swindle more money out of me. Please look into this, Ive read reviews on this company and they all say the same thing.

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX  a {$4000.00} personal loan was opened in my name with Navy Federal Credit Union. I did not authorize or apply for this loan. Shortly after, Navy Federal withdrew the loan funds from my checking account without my consent.

I immediately reported this to Navy Federal and disputed the loan, stating it was fraudulent/unauthorized. They conducted an internal investigation, but ultimately determined that I was liable for repayment. They have not provided sufficient proof that I signed for or authorized the loan.

This situation has caused me significant financial loss and distress. I believe Navy Federal has failed to protect my account, mishandled my dispute, and potentially violated consumer protection laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ).

Complaint narrative:
I am demanding immediate removal of the inaccurate late payment entries listed below, along with a full reinvestigation that complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Accounts in Dispute : XXXX Account No. XXXX XXXX Account No. XXXX These entries were reported without any prior billing notice, due date reminder, or opportunity for me to make payment before the negative mark was placed. That is not only misleading it is a direct violation of multiple federal laws, including : FCRA 1681e ( b ) : Requires only accurate and complete reporting. A late payment without proof of notice is neither.

FCRA 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Creditors must furnish information responsibly. Reporting me late without notification is irresponsible and unlawful.

FCRA 1681i ( a ) : Upon dispute, unverifiable data must be deleted. If you can not produce documented proof of proper notice, these entries must be removed.

Resolution I Expect : Delete both late payment entries immediately if no documented notice exists. 

Provide written confirmation of removal and an updated credit report within XXXX business days. 

Ensure compliance with all applicable FCRA provisions to prevent further inaccurate reporting. 

If this is not resolved promptly, I will proceed with : Filing additional complaints with the CFPB, FTC, and my State Attorney General. 

Initiating legal action under FCRA 616 for statutory damages ( {$1000.00} per violation ), actual damages, and attorneys fees. 

This is not a request it is my right under federal law. I have made multiple good-faith attempts to resolve this directly. The fair and lawful resolution is complete deletion of these inaccurate late payments and immediate correction of my credit file.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries currently listed on my credit report. I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
This prolonged issue has caused ongoing financial strain and has negatively affected both my credit standing and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been not only frustrating but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history. This includes the timely correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore urging your office to take immediate and appropriate action to update or delete the reported late payment entries in question.
