Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding Fair Collections & Outsourcing ( FCO ) and the way my paid collection account is being reported to the credit bureaus.

I had an outstanding balance with FCO, and I reached an agreement with them to settle the debt. After a week of calling and requesting a settlement letter, I finally received one. I promptly paid the agreed settlement amount. However, despite fulfilling my end of the agreement, the account remains on my credit report. 

I do not believe it is fair for my credit to continue to suffer when the debt has been paid and settled as agreed. I disputed this matter with all three major credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ), but my disputes were denied. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and require Fair Collections & Outsourcing to remove this collection account from my credit report. Since the debt has been settled, it should no longer negatively impact my creditworthiness. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response. Please let me know if you require any additional information. 

Attached is the letter of PAID IN FULL with the account number.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) for mishandling my fraud dispute regarding unauthorized transactions totaling {$1400.00} made by a fraudulent business, [ Name of Matchmaking Institute ]. 

I initially filed a fraud claim with NFCU after this business withdrew funds from my account without my consent. Upon reporting the fraudulent activity, NFCU requested supporting documentation, which I promptly provided multiple times. However, NFCU wrongfully denied my dispute, falsely claiming that I had not provided the necessary information. 

Despite my repeated efforts to resolve this issue, NFCU has continued to allow this fraudulent business to withdraw money from my account. Their negligence and lack of professionalism have resulted in an unfair financial loss of {$1400.00}, which I believe should be refunded immediately. 

Complaint Summary : A fraudulent business, [ Name of Matchmaking Institute ], withdrew {$1400.00} from my account.

I reported the fraud and filed a claim with NFCU.

NFCU requested documentation, which I provided multiple times.

NFCU wrongfully denied my claim, stating that I had not provided the necessary information, which is false.

NFCU has failed to protect me as a customer and continues to allow unauthorized withdrawals.

I believe NFCUs actions ( or inaction ) are unfair and violate consumer protection laws. As a financial institution, they have a duty to protect their customers from fraudulent activities, and they have failed in that responsibility.

Resolution Sought : I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that NFCU : Reopens and properly investigates my fraud claim.

Refunds the full amount of {$1400.00} related to these unauthorized transactions.

Provides a detailed explanation as to why my dispute was wrongfully denied despite sufficient documentation. 
Improves its fraud resolution process to prevent other consumers from experiencing similar negligence. 
I appreciate your time in reviewing my complaint, and I look forward to a resolution. Please let me know if additional information is needed.
