Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I have had a checking account with Penfed for over 2 years. A fraud hold was placed on my account. I was informed I had to provide documents to validate my identity to remove the fraud alert. I have provided a copy of my State Issued ID, Social Security Card, and Utility Bill. I submitted all requested documents and was informed that it would take 48 to 72 business hours for the fraud department to review each document. The documents were uploaded on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted Penfed via email on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I emailed Penfed on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I also sent them a letter on XX/XX/XXXX, that was received on XX/XX/XXXX. I have called them on those days that I sent them emails requesting status updates. Each time I contact them I have been told that the issue has escalated and that I will be contacted shortly. I have spoken to numerous supervisors who have all stated the same. I have XXXX friends who have submitted documents for identification and each of them has had their accounts opened with no issues. Penfed has taken a discriminatory stance as there has been no valid reason given why the process of identification has taken over two weeks when I was told it would only take a maximum of three business days.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted several letters to 2 credit bureaus- Equifax and XXXX disputing this Account with ( XXXX XXXX ) - name as reported to my credit report. They keep sending me a letter that this account was verified but have failed to explain WHY, WHO, & WHEN. ( DEBT VALIDATION ) They have failed to present me with proper documents that show their method of verification. They have also failed to show me original documents bearing my signature with this account. 

This account also shows a few incorrect information such as the ''date opened '', XXXXdate verified '', '' closed date '', ''account status '', ''dispute status '' and ''date of last activity ''. ONLY ONE BUREAU IS SHOWING A ACTUAL CLOSED DATE FOR THIS ACCOUNT. THIS ACCOUNT NUMBER IS ALSO INCOMPLETELY REPORTED FROM BOTH BUREAUS. This account is also in VIOLATION of Metro 2 Compliance because THIS ACCOUNT IS ALSO REPORTING INCORRECTLY & ALOT OF FIELDS ARE BLANK & MISSING INFORMATION. THIS ACCOUNT IS ALSO REPORTING A " LATE-PAYMENT STATUS '', WHICH IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE A CLOSED ACCOUNT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO REPORT LATE PAYMENTS NOR A BALANCE. 

In addition, I have been sending dispute letters to these bureaus and they have FAILED to update the ''dispute status '' of this account. 

BOTH credit bureaus are reporting DIFFERENT INFORMATION on this SAME account which is ALSO against my consumer rights. According to the FRCA consumer reporting, agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. If this INCOMPLETE, UNVERIFIABLE, UNFAIR, and INACCURATE information is not deleted in 30 days I will be visiting my local small claims court to begin the process of a Lawsuit against ALL 3 credit bureaus and ( XXXX XXXX ). I expect to receive an updated credit report within the next 30 days showing that this account has been DELETED.
