Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding a recent interaction I had with Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ). 

I contacted NFCU to inquire about a current, active credit card account I have with them. However, instead of routing me to the appropriate department, I was unexpectedly directed to a recovery department representative. This individual attempted to initiate a discussion about an account allegedly charged off in 2018 a credit card I have no knowledge of and that does not appear on any of my current credit reports. 

I informed the representative that I do not recognize the debt, that I do not acknowledge it as mine, and that I would not engage in any conversation about it. I made this clear because I was concerned they were attempting to revive or re-agea potentially time-barred debt, possibly with the intent of re-reporting it or taking future collection actions. 
I explicitly stated that I have no knowledge of the alleged account, that it does not belong to me, and that I do not consent to any further communication or credit reporting regarding it. 


Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Consumer complaint received 2025-10-02 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, Navy Federal Credit Union placed a security freeze on my checking account, alleging that the account had been fraudulently opened and was not established by me. This characterization is incorrect, as I personally opened the account on my own behalf and maintained full control over all account activities. 
The checking account contains a balance of {$19000.00}, which Navy Federal Credit Union has refused to release to me. In accordance with their requests, I provided a handwritten statement affirming my identity and submitted an official copy of my government-issued identification. Despite complying with these requirements, I have continued to be denied access to the funds in my account. 
The credit union further directed me to submit a security freeze appeal and provide supporting documents. I followed all instructions and submitted the required materials in a timely manner. Nevertheless, my appeal was denied without explanation, and Navy Federal Credit Union has failed to provide any justification for this decision. 
At this time, I have been informed that there are no avenues available for me to access the funds in my account. I am not permitted to visit a branch with identification and supporting documentation, nor will the institution mail me a check for the account balance. I maintainand there is no evidence to the contrarythat no fraudulent activity has occurred within my account ; it was opened legitimately, and all funds were deposited by me through lawful means. 
Despite repeated attempts to resolve this matter and appeals to the banks supervisory staff, I have been categorically denied access to my funds and advised that no further options are available, and in no circumstance will they allow me access to the funds in my account they stated that theres nothing that I can do to retrieve them, they refused to mail me a check for the balance in my account nor will they allow me to visit a banking branch to retrieve the funds in person. I request that this wrongful and unexplained restriction be reviewed in accordance with all applicable regulations, and that immediate action be taken to restore my access to the funds I lawfully deposited

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It XXXX Concern, I am writing to formally dispute and file a complaint regarding a collection account listed on my credit report by Portfolio Recovery Associates, with a reported balance of {$2500.00}, last updated on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Account Information : Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Balance : {$2500.00} Reported Date : XX/XX/XXXX Account Type : Collection My Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX Ct, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Details of the Complaint : This debt is not mine. 
I have no knowledge or records of the original debt Portfolio Recovery Associates claims to be collecting. I have never received any official notification from the original creditor, nor have I been provided any documentation proving that this debt is valid or that I am legally responsible for it. 

I have been subjected to harassment. 
Representatives from Portfolio Recovery Associates have contacted me multiple times using aggressive and harassing tactics to collect this debt. These calls and attempts continued even after I requested validation of the alleged debt. This behavior has caused me significant stress and anxiety and appears to violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

No proper validation of the debt was provided. 
Despite my previous verbal and written requests under the FDCPA, Portfolio Recovery Associates has failed to provide any form of validation, such as : A signed contract or agreement linking me to the debt A breakdown of the balance owed Proof that the debt is legally collectible Incorrect and damaging credit reporting. 
This collection account is currently appearing on my credit report and has negatively affected my XXXX XXXX. This is not only inaccurate, but also unfairly damaging my ability to obtain housing, employment, and other essential services. 


Legal Notice : Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute any debt that is inaccurate, unverified, or fraudulent. Portfolio Recovery Associates failure to validate the debt, combined with continued collection efforts, constitutes a violation of these federal laws. 

Should this matter not be resolved immediately, I reserve the right to file complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and to pursue further legal remedies. 

Attachments ( if mailed or emailed ) : Copy of my government-issued ID Proof of address ( utility bill or bank statement ) Screenshot or printout of credit report showing the disputed account Any prior communication with Portfolio Recovery Associates Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
