Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I attempted to login into my Navy Federal membership account to make a credit card payment and transfer funds to my daughter 's account. I received a message to call in and when I did, I was told that all of my accounts were restricted with no justification or reasoning provided. I was told to go to the local branch and submit an appeal to include any and all information that could prove my identity. I completed an appeal form and provided a copy of my current driver license, passport, birth certificate, and address information to prove my identity. I was told I would need to wait for the appeal to be reviewed. Several weeks later I receive an appeal decision stating that my appeal was denied because of the unsatisfactory manner in which I have maintained my accounts. I have been a member for more than XXXX years. I have paid off XXXX vehicle loans under Navy Federal, and have a checking/savings and credit card and loan product all in good standing.

Company: Tesla, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I placed an order for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year> ( order XXXX ), with a XXXX term, adjusted total price of {$49000.00}, and residual value of {$31000.00}. Tesla shows my monthly payment as {$530.00}, but this is incorrect because it double-counts the front paid sales tax by including it in the capitalized cost. According to New Jersey state law and official guidelines, sales tax paid upfront should not be rolled into the monthly payment calculation. With this error, I will overpay by more than {$2000.00} over the 36 months. 

I contacted Tesla via their app to request a clear breakdown and itemization of the monthly payment, providing detailed spreadsheets and official tax references proving the correct calculation method. Tesla representatives insisted their calculation was accurate and compliant with state law, refusing to show the full details. They only forwarded my documents to another team without resolving the issue or offering transparency. 

This situation has caused me serious concern about Teslas financial practices, and frustration that a trusted company does not provide transparent, accurate financial information to consumers. I urge regulatory authorities to investigate Teslas lease payment methods for compliance and fairness to protect consumers from potential overcharges. 

Order details and supporting evidence, including screenshots and calculation references, are attached. Thank you for reviewing my complaint.

Complaint narrative:
This tradeline is being reported as both charged off and still accruing monthly delinquencies, which is inaccurate and misleading. Once an account is charged off, it can not simultaneously continue to report as past due each month. This practice artificially extends the period of derogatory reporting and is not a fair or accurate representation of the account history. I demand deletion or correction pursuant to 15 U.S.C.1681i.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

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.

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 


15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report. 


15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any. 
information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt. 

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
