Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2019 I wrote to various lenders who were mostly authorized ONLY to pull what they had all agreed was a SOFT pull which would not be reflected. Others fell under the XXXX XXXX application which trickled down more lenders who claimed upon my phone contact to them that their pulls were soft. Amongst the lenders was XXXX XXXX XXXX who promised the pull was soft. After communicating with the manager, he said it was a mistake and it was too late. Because he did have a car of interest, he said that he could use his ALREADY EXISTING inquiry to get me pre-approved. He never disclosed that it would create more pulls or that they would be hard pulls. He was very much aware of my not being agreeable with any hard pulls. So this dealer trickled more hard pulls through his sub-lenders. Since they were hard pulls generated, none of it was with my authorization.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, last week I attempted to log into my Navy Federal Credit Union account to perform routine duties in my corporate account. This is a business account that is held under a corporation. I was 1 ) locked out of my account, 2 ) when i called was told I couldnt use my account due to a personal debt 3 ) told I couldn't use my funds to make payment towards a personal debt because of security 's guidelines 4 )  was then told that money belongs to Navy Federal and not me ( XXXX in Security told me this ) 5 ) was hung up on twice by XXXX 6 ) nowhere in any of your disclosures does cross-collateratization come into play on corporate accounts 7 ) " XXXX '' refused to transfer me to a supervisor or give me her supervisor 's name 8 ) " XXXX '' specifically said the funds in the corporate account belong to Navy Federal and no longer belong to me. In actuality, they belong to the corporation and not myself or Navy Federal Credit Union. These funds are held by a corporate entity. Its not a sole proprietorship. Its a corporation. This is a gross violation against Navy Federal Credit Union 's 2016 consent order with the CFPB and I demand those funds be released immediately. I've even made payment arrangements on all of my personal accounts and fully resolved 2/3 of these accounts. I've even gone to length to make payments arrangements on the final account and gave them money towards the debt. When made the attempt to make arrangements with " XXXX '' in Security of {$9000.00} towards the last outstanding personal debt, her response was, " ... .but there's {$15000.00} in that account ''. Shortly after that she hung up on me. " XXXX '' also refused to This has cause my corporation a hardship as that account is used to pay my agents their commission. Nowhere in NFCU 's disclosures or terms, can NFCU leverage a member 's corporate funds to cover a personal debt. This is gross negligence, abuse of authority and predatory on the behalf of Navy Federal Credit Union and I'd like to move forward with filing a formal complaint against them. 

I've even gone to lengths to try and mediate this by reaching out to NFCU 's CEO without a response. 

Navy Federal Credit Union misled its members about its debt collection practices and froze consumers out from their own accounts, said CFPB Director XXXX XXXX. Financial institutions have a right to collect money that is due to them, but they must comply with federal laws as they do so.
