Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am the heir of a deceased borrower. Navy Federal Credit Union is refusing to provide any settlement option or release of lien for a debt belonging solely to my late mother, XXXX XXXX XXXX Acct. # XXXX ). 

My mother passed away in XXXX. Her XXXX  probate estate was closed in XXXX, and no claim was filed by Navy Federal during probate. I became the legal owner of the property at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  in XXXX. The loan associated with the lien was charged off in XXXX. I am not a borrower, co-borrower, or guarantor, and I have XXXX personal liability for this debt. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Navy Federal seeking a reasonable settlement or release of lien solely to clear title for sale. A Navy Federal representative named XXXX stated that only she and one other individual had authority to make decisions regarding settlement or lien release, refused to escalate my request to any supervisor or executive review team, and refused to provide a written determination or denial. She stated she would only send original documents and provided an incorrect address for escalation. 

I escalated the matter to Navy Federals Office of the President on XX/XX/XXXX, and resent the escalation on XX/XX/XXXX. Despite these efforts, Navy Federal has failed to acknowledge receipt, assign an executive reviewer, or provide any written determination regarding settlement or release of the lien.

I am requesting CFPB assistance to require Navy Federal to conduct an executive-level review, provide a written determination with the legal basis for its position, and offer a reasonable settlement or lien release pathway for title clearance.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, EXPERIAN received my formal identity theft blocking request submitted under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 605B. This submission was not a standard dispute under 611, but a formal demand for the blocking of fraudulent information resulting from identity theft. My package included all documentation required under 605B ( b ) : A copy of my government-issued ID Proof of current address ( bank statement ) A copy of my Social Security card A completed and signed FTC Identity Theft Report The fraudulent account identified in my credit report is : XXXX Account No. XXXX Date Opened XXXX EXPERIAN confirmed receipt of my identity theft submission on XX/XX/year>, yet as of today ( well beyond 4 business days ), this fraudulent account remains on my credit report. This is a direct violation of FCRA 605B ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies must block all information resulting from identity theft within four business days after receiving proper documentation. Furthermore, EXPERIAN continued publication of information that it knows or should know to be false constitutes noncompliance with 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits furnishers or consumer reporting agencies from reporting information they know to be inaccurate. EXPERIAN failure to implement the required block also enabled continued data furnishing in violation of 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), which requires furnishers to properly identify, suppress, and cease reporting accounts that have been confirmed as resulting from identity theft. By not fulfilling its blocking duty under 605B, EXPERIAN effectively allowed furnishers to continue transmitting fraudulent data undermining the legal protections Congress established to safeguard victims of identity theft. As a result, my credit report remains distorted, my credit score is artificially suppressed, and I continue to face unjust denials of credit and reputational harm.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to formally dispute several unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report that are the result of identity theft. I hereby request that these fraudulent inquiries be blocked or removed from my file as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. For your reference and as supporting evidence, I have included my official FTC Identity Theft Report ( Report Number : XXXX ). 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, credit reporting agencies are obligated to block any information identified by a consumer in an identity theft report within four ( 4 ) business days of receiving the report. 
The following hard inquiries on my credit file are fraudulent and must be blocked. I did not authorize these credit checks, and they are directly linked to the identity theft I reported : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I formally request the immediate and permanent blocking of these inquiries. This block should remain in effect for the statutory period, during which no information related to these fraudulent credit pulls may be reported. 
I have previously contacted the credit bureau reporting these inquiries on multiple occasions to seek resolution. Despite my efforts and the submission of my FTC report, the issue persists without a final and effective resolution. The continued presence of these unauthorized inquiries is causing me significant harm by inaccurately lowering my credit score and impeding my ability to secure credit for essential needs. 
I trust that the CFPB will facilitate a fair and timely resolution. I request your assistance in ensuring the credit bureau complies with federal law and permanently removes these fraudulent inquiries from my credit history.

State: GA

Complaint narrative:
CFPB COMPLAINT-Account Restriction/Incorrect Reporting Company XXXX Early Warning Services I am filing a complaint regarding inaccurate and misleading information being reported by Early Warning Services in my consumer file, which is preventing me from accessing normal banking services. 

Early Warning Services is reporting a banking incident as Checking Account Fraud / Account Abuse. This classification is factually inaccurate. 
Key Facts : The transaction involved a check later determined to be fraudulent, which I did not knowingly deposit as fraudulent. 
I did not create, alter, or misrepresent the check. 
Upon notification, I cooperated fully and repaid the bank in full. 
The account was paid and settled on XX/XX/2025. 
There is no evidence of intent, misrepresentation, or repeated misuse. 
Despite repayment and lack of intent, Early Warning Services continues to report this matter as fraud rather than a resolved banking dispute involving an unwitting participant. 
This reporting is materially misleading and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act requirement that consumer reporting agencies ensure maximum possible accuracy ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ).

Harm Caused : Denial or restriction of bank accounts Inability to access basic financial services Ongoing reputational and financial harm

This debt collector has done unjustifiable practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didnt agree upon and I didnt sign an agreement on.

According to the FDCPA, Im entitled to compensation for these violations and clearly, they violated my rights and abused my privileges. I demand this account be taken off immediately. 

This collection has no legal standing and must be permanently removed from my credit file without delay. Any continued reporting or collection activity will be viewed as a knowing and willful violation of federal law. I will not tolerate the continued presence of this unlawful account, and I expect immediate corrective action.
