Issue: Repossession — Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Company: AMERICA FIRST FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
America First Credit Union committed fraud and acted in bad faith concerning the loan agreement on my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. First they did not disclose to me that I was not getting to loan from them. They didnt lend me money, they actually borrowed money from the federal reserve which is actually my money and they want me to repay their loan. Not disclosing they were not actually lending me money is a breach of contract. They also acted in bad faith by not giving me a copy of the loan contract. I cant see what happens of I cant pay my loan. I cant see if they gave me a secured or unsecured loan.. They could have used the money in my account as security, I have no idea. They wrote off the debt I never borrowed from them, and they closed the account. Then they repossessed my vehicle. They know why I cant repay their debt. They know I experienced identity theft and my bank account was drained. They also acted in bad faith when they allowed someone to spend all my money and did nothing to stop it even though it says right on their web page they know when someone is spending different that they normally do. They say I'm responsible because I allowed my boyfriend to hold my card. But the police did an investigation and determined he was not the person who spent all my money. It makes no difference if he did or didnt have my card or pin. The police investigation concluded he didnt spend the money. I had insurance on it and I had been to the credit union numerous times telling them to watch my account closely. My ex husband had been hacking my phone for years and he offered to prepay me alimony and child support. My theory is he waited until I had a boyfriend and then spent my money. He lied in the police report when he said he never had access to the account. I had this account for years during our marriage and it was the account he wired {$86000.00} to. He had access to my account number during our marriage. All our legal documents were in the same file cabinet. I was so afraid he was trying to steal my identity that I asked the bank tellers to identify me by XXXX XXXX XXXX to open my safe deposit box. He worked with a girl that could've been my twin. I demand my XXXX  be returned to me. The bank is not out a dime. All debts are prepaid by the US Government. Kindly return my property.

Company: Viking Client Services
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I was in active contact with XXXX XXXX from the XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) about customer case # XXXX. While we went back and forth for weeks and I repeatedly asked for more information, she told me via email that the case was considered fully closed on XX/XX/XXXX. 

However, the case had already been sent to collections as I received a letter from their debt collection agency Viking Services that was dated XX/XX/XXXX. This was before we closed out our communications and she let me know that XXXX closed out the case. This means they sent this to collections before communicating any decision on their end. 

Are there consumer protections against these practices?

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I received an alert from my lender ( XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX that there was a change to my credit score. When I received a second alert the next day on XX/XX/XXXX, I clicked through and learned there had been two unauthorized requests to pull my credit report from TransUnion and XXXX. I put a freeze on all my credit report sources ( TransUnion, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ), but when I spoke with TransUnion and XXXX they both told me I would need to provide some sort of deletion letter explaining this inquiry seems to be made by a bad actor, which would be used to ask the credit bureaus to remove the inquiry from my credit report. 

My primary concern is ensuring that someone is not able to use the two credit report requested through TransUnion or XXXX to open fraudulent credit cards in my name. I tried to request this through XXXX but am having a very difficult time reaching a customer service person who can assist me. TransUnion 's rep advised I get in touch with you instead to help. 

Please advise. Happy to provide any additional information as needed, let me know how I can assist. Thank you for your help on this matter. 

Best, XXXX XXXX Ph : XXXX Em : XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted account, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to has verified these. 

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in XXXX XXXX TransUnion, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.
