Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: DE

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: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the reappearance of an old XXXX account on my credit report, which was previously removed after being determined that it did not belong to me. This account was originally reported inaccurately and was removed from my credit history. However, as of last week, I noticed that it has been reinserted without justification.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ], if a previously deleted item is reinserted, the credit reporting agency is required to notify me within XXXX business days and provide the source of the information. Additionally, under FCRA [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ], furnishers of information must ensure that they report only accurate and complete information. Since this account was previously removed, its sudden reappearance suggests a violation of these provisions. 

Furthermore, I was a victim of the Experian and XXXX data breaches, which compromised my personal information. Given this breach, I am concerned that this unauthorized account is a result of identity theft or erroneous data handling. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) of 2003 provides additional protections for identity theft victims, requiring that fraudulent accounts be blocked from credit reports upon proper dispute.

I am requesting : Immediate reinvestigation and removal of this inaccurate XXXX account from my credit report. 
Written confirmation that this account has been permanently deleted and will not be reinserted without proper verification. 
Details of the furnisher who re-reported this account, including their contact information and verification documents. 
If this matter is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to escalate my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) for further investigation. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response within the XXXX timeframe mandated by the FCRA [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ].

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I have a Bank of America credit card. I use this card for international travel. I have had a credit balance ( due to overpayment as a result of Bank of America 's incompetence ) on this card for months. Bank of America showed this credit balance for months on the statements I receive in the mail. 

The XXXX statement shows the balance as - {$3000.00}. The credit due to a prior overpayment of a prior bill. 

The statement for XX/XX/2024 shows a XXXX balance. There was no activity on this card. There is a reference dated XX/XX/2024 of " CREDIT BALANCE REFUND DEBIT. '' There is no check in this statement. 

In addition, I received no statement for the period XXXX. There is no such statement on the Bank of American website. 

I spent 30 minutes on the phone trying to navigate the Bank of America automated phone system. I had to call multiple times after being disconnected multiple times. I was finally place on hold for a representative. Then the call was terminated. No call back. Totally unacceptable. 

1. Bank of America needs to return {$3000.00} ( reverse the transaction from XX/XX/2024 ).

2. Bank of America needs to provide a statement for XX/XX/2024 This was never provided in paper or electronically.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft, and fraudulent accounts were added to my credit report. I submitted a police report, an FTC identity theft report, and other supporting documents to Experian to prove that these accounts are not mine. 

Even after providing clear proof, Experian has done nothing to remove these fraudulent accounts. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), they are required to investigate disputes and fix errors within 30 days, but they are completely ignoring my case. 

I also just found out that the CFPB has sued Experian for doing this same thing to other peoplefor ignoring disputes, not properly investigating, and violating the FCRA. This proves Experian isnt following the law, and my case is just another example. ( CFPB Lawsuit Against Experian )

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Credit Reporting and Demand for Compliance To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the inaccurate reporting of accounts listed on my credit report under 15 U.S.C. XXXXsXXXX which mandates the accurate and verifiable reporting of consumer information. 
The accounts in question : Account Name : XXXXXXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Date Listed : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
Account Number : XXXX Date Listed : XXXX XXXX, XXXX These accounts are erroneously reporting a balance despite being charged off. If these debts were truly written off, continued reporting of a balance is both inaccurate and misleading, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Additionally, under IRS guidelines ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), a creditor that cancels a debt exceeding {$600.00} is required to issue a XXXX form to the borrower and report the cancellation to the IRS. I have not received a XXXX form for either account, raising concerns about the creditors ' compliance with federal tax laws. Failure to issue a XXXX form may constitute non-compliance, which I have the right to report to the IRS. 

I formally demand the following actions : Provision of the XXXX Form If these debts were charged off or written off, provide copies of the XXXX forms for my records. 

Verification of the Balance Provide documented proof of the current and accurate balance, along with records of any collection activity. 

Permanent Deletion of the Accounts If the debts have been canceled, unverified, or inaccurately reported, I demand immediate removal from my credit report under 15 U.S.C. XXXXi ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA. 

Failure to comply within XXXX days will result in formal complaints being filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) for potential violations of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. XXXX ), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. XXXX ), and IRS tax reporting requirements. 

This matter requires immediate resolution. Please respond promptly to avoid further regulatory scrutiny.
