Complaint narrative:
Ive just reviewed my credit report and noticed there are several inaccurate late items on my report as follows : This account is listed as being 30 days late. I have never been late on this account. 

15 U.S. Code 1666B states a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open consumer credit plan as late FOR ANY PURPOSE. It also states unless a statement which includes the amount upon which the finance charge for the period is based was mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the date specified in the statement by which payment must be made in order to avoid imposition of that finance charge. 
I've disputed this particular item 4 times and they parrot information from this blood thirsty collection that have similar complaints from other consumers for unethical collection practices FDCPA violations.At this point I'm prepared to follow suit of consumers and court proceedings such as that of Dixon-Rollins v. Experian Information Solutions . In this attached letter I request your full method of Verification on this account in writing or I demand to have it deleted from my consumer report. I will seeking remedy in this case for damages caused by this company.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Hello! My situation is unique, and your options don't coincide with what's going on. So, I will explain it below. 

I applied for a personal loan on XX/XX/23 on Navy Federal Credit Union 's website. I keep my credit reports frozen, so I lifted the freeze just to apply for this loan. I asked for $ XXXX, but was counteroffered $ XXXX on XX/XX/23 online. 

Before declining their offer, I decided that I wanted to apply for an auto loan instead to pay off my XXXX XXXX XXXX. So, I emailed XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/23 asking if I did this, would they be pulling my credit again because I didn't want them to. They responded with a vague answer that it was up to the discretion of their lending department but they couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't pull it again. At this point, my credit reports were frozen again. 

So, I declined their personal loan offer on XX/XX/23 & went ahead and applied for the auto loan. Again, I emailed them asking them whether or not they'd have to pull my credit when they just did so on XX/XX/23. The response I got today, XX/XX/23, was the same vague one they sent me before. Then, they said I could call customer service and follow the prompts to the lending department after I asked for a lending manager to call me. 

So, I called XXXX at XXXX XXXX & eventually spoke to XXXX once their automated system called me back. They had a lot of customers ahead of me. I explained the situation to XXXX & he said that he didn't understand why customer service didn't just explain that the first report they pulled on XX/XX/23 was for a non-collateral personal loan. The report they tried to pull yesterday from the same credit reporting agency ( XXXX ) was for a collateral loan, and it's just their policy to pull it again. It doesn't make sense, but that's their policy. 

When I emailed them earlier today, I emailed my credit score along with proof that they already pulled my credit 3 days ago. My credit hasn't changed in 3 days & the vague email response just keeps stating that it's up to " their discretion '' whether or not they will use my XX/XX/23 credit report. If it's up to their discretion, then they are saying that they have the ability to use the report that they already have in their possession to make their decision on my auto loan application if they choose to. Them trying to pull it again yesterday would've caused me to lose more points from my score had my report not been frozen, and that's not okay with me. 

When I asked to speak to a manager earlier today, I wasn't given that opportunity. I'd like to apply for this loan with them, but I will go to XXXX, if necessary. This policy is illogical & doesn't seem to protect the customer at all.

On XX/XX/XXXX Bank of America closed my account due to it being overdrawn for {$520.00} they reported me to XXXX and I am unable to open a banking account with any financial firm.

At this time if Bank of America remains unwilling and unresponsive then I request their formal mailing address to file suit against them as they have been unwilling to resolve this matter amicably. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
