Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Ava Finance, Inc
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Ava Account # XXXX I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information appearing on my XXXX  credit report concerning the account listed as Ava Account # XXXX. According to your reporting, this account reflects late payments for the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. These late payments are incorrect and must be removed. 

In accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b Timing of payments, creditors are required to provide a reasonable time for payments to be made before assessing a late fee or reporting delinquency. I have reviewed my records, and payments for the months in question were made within the proper timeframe, and therefore should not be reported as late. 

The reported late payments are not only inaccurate, but they are also damaging to my credit profile and standing. I request that TransUnion conducts a reasonable investigation into this matter and updates the account to reflect accurate payment history, specifically that I was not late for the dates in question. 

As a consumer I also have a right to privacy releasing my private financial records to a non affiliated third party is against my rights. 

( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

Please confirm that the inaccurate information has been removed or corrected within the time frame required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I have enclosed a copy of my identification and proof of address for verification purposes. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your resolution of this dispute.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : XXXX XXXX Pentagon Federal Credit Union Unfulfilled Auto Loan Promotional Benefit To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Pentagon Federal Credit Union ( PenFed ) regarding a promotional benefit that was not honored after I fulfilled all the stated requirements during my recent auto loan transaction. 
I have been a loyal member of PenFed for several years. While shopping for a vehicle, I chose to use PenFeds advertised Car Buying Service powered by XXXX, which was promoted as offering members an average savings of {$2800.00} off MSRP when purchasing from their approved dealerships. 
Following PenFeds instructions : I used their Car Buying Service ( XXXX integration ) to locate a vehicle. 
I found a suitable vehicle at an approved dealership, XXXX XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX Texas XXXX approximately XXXX miles from my residence in XXXX XXXX, Texas. 
I applied for an auto loan through PenFed using their car buying service. 
My loan was approved, and the vehicle was purchased from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, for a total of {$64000.00}. 
PenFed made the payment to the dealership, and the vehicle was delivered to me. 
Despite complying with all requirements and completing the purchase through PenFeds promoted channels, I have not received the {$2800.00} promotional savings that were clearly advertised. This benefit was a significant factor in my decision to use PenFeds services. 
I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with PenFed, but to date, the {$2800.00} has not been credited to my loan account or returned to me in any form. It is my understanding that the coordination between PenFed and its approved dealers should not be my burden. As a consumer, I met all the advertised qualifications and should receive the promised benefit. 

Please help me in this regard as I am a loyal customer of PENFED and I even have my home loan with them and they should be loyal to me as promise in their website and I followed all their instructions. 

Sincerely, XXXX regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Texas XXXX XXXX XXXX PenFed Member Since : XXXX
