Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) unlawfully furnished my information to XXXX separate third-party debt XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ), all while continuing to collect payments and send me active account statements. This created parallel collection efforts, multiple validations ignored, and conflicting account statuses. 

Despite certified disputes and proof of identity theft, NFCU allowed these XXXX to pursue me including documented payments ( Exhibit XXXX ) and collection letters ( Exhibits XXXX, XXXX ). The bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  knowingly reported this inaccurate and unverifiable debt after my disputes, failing to conduct a reasonable investigation or remove unverifiable information. 

I have already submitted over XXXX pieces of supporting evidence, including recordings and agency letters, proving : Re-aging of accounts Failure to validate debt before collection. On top of the fraudulent account activity and unlawful collections, I have also escalated this matter to the U.S. Department of Justice ( DOJ ). I received acknowledgment of my filing, which directly supports the seriousness of these violations. The DOJs involvement demonstrates that this is not merely a consumer dispute it is a matter of systemic misconduct, fraud, and potential criminal liability.

This record ( DOJ acknowledgment included in my evidence bundle ) underscores that Navy Federal is already under federal scrutiny, and it further establishes the pattern of abuse and suppression impacting me and other consumers. 


Simultaneous double-collection activity Furnishing false info to the CRAs This is a willful violation of the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i, 1681s-2 ) and FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g, 1692e, 1692c ( c ) ).

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Against Affirm Loan for Undelivered Services and Merchant Misrepresentation To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint in regard to a {$4900.00} loan originated through Affirm for services that were sold to me under false pretenses by the merchant Desert Scouts/ Area Scouts. 

Summary of the Issue : On XX/XX/year>, I applied to what appeared to be a job opportunity posted on Indeed by Area Scouts, advertising compensation between {$20000.00} {$200000.00}. After applying, I was told I must pay {$4900.00} upfront for " certification '' to join the company, plus an ongoing {$790.00} $ XXXX subscription for continued support. This was positioned as an employment opportunity, not a coaching or subscription-based service. 

The company explicitly promised that this package included : Business coaching and strategy XXXX ad training and lead generation systems Multiple Software platforms and tools Uniforms and business materials 24/7 Live Support Weekly 1-on-1 Coaching Calls Weekly Group Coaching Done-for-You Onboarding into a functioning business model What Was Delivered : 5 of 15 1-on-1 Coaching Calls Call One Group call time slot per week Inconsistent and extremely limited information A disorganized platform with incomplete tools No XXXX ad training, no real lead generation, no live support, no ad setup, and no software access as promised Before even signing the contract, I expressed serious concerns over the misinformation, disorganization, and lack of deliveryvia phone, email, and text. I was reassured repeatedly by staff, and even received direct calls from one of the owners apologizing and promising to make it right. Nothing improved. 

On XX/XX/year>, I formally emailed the company to request a cancellation and refund. They never responded. However, they revoked access to the few materials I had received, never attempt to book another call, while continuing to attempt to bill me for services they were no longer providing. 

I submitted formal disputes : XXXX XXXX reviewed the case and refunded 3 monthly payments based on lack of delivery. 

Affirm, however, has refused to acknowledge the dispute, and continues to hold me responsible for the full {$4900.00} loan. 

Pattern of Misconduct : Since this incident, Ive found online complaints dating back several years describing similar experiences : misleading job postings, large upfront charges, failure to deliver promised services, and refusal to respond to refund or cancellation requests. It is clear that this is not an isolated caseits a pattern of deceptive business practices.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because the consumer reporting agency failed to meet its obligations under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires the agency to provide, upon request, a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures used to verify disputed information. I specifically requested the name and contact information of the furnisher, the identity of the person the agency communicated with, and the documentation used to confirm the accuracy of the disputed account. The agency did not provide this information within the 15-day timeframe required by law. This lack of response is a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA.
