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. Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint FTC Report Number : XXXX as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am a member of Navy Federal Credit Union and I am filing this complaint because the institution is violating consumer protection laws under the Electronic Fund Transfers Act / Regulation E regarding debit card disputes. 

On early XXXX, I made four transactions with merchant XXXX  ( {$1000.00}, {$950.00}, {$1700.00}, and {$1700.00} ). The merchant later canceled all transactions, which is clearly shown in my dispute statements. However, Navy Federal still withdrew the funds from my account.

I attempted to dispute these charges immediately, but Navy Federal refused to open my disputes until more than 10 business days later, and only did so after I filed a complaint with the CFPB. Despite Regulation E requiring provisional credit after 10 business days if the investigation is ongoing, Navy Federal denied it, incorrectly categorizing my case as non-receipt of services instead of billing error/cancellation.

This is inconsistent because in a nearly identical previous case with the same merchant, Navy Federal did issue provisional credit. I have documentation to prove this inconsistency.

Additionally, Navy Federal froze my account for two days and threatened to close it, which I believe was retaliation for asserting my consumer rights and filing complaints. The treatment by Navy Federal agents has been extremely poor. Representatives repeatedly told me they could not provide information over the phone and that they would send it to me by mail, yet the promised documents were never sent. This has left me without the ability to properly understand or respond to their actions.

Additionally they keep marking my complaints as duplicate to avoid responding.

I am a student with very limited financial resources. The withheld funds ( {$5400.00} ) represent my entire monthly budget. The denial of provisional credit and the poor treatment by Navy Federal agents have placed me in an extremely difficult financial situation.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a follow-up complaint regarding Experian 's continued reporting of inaccurate, unverifiable, and misleading information on my credit file in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ). Despite my previous disputes, the same problem remains unresolved. Experian has repeatedly failed to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation or provide proper validation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). 
Under FACTA Title I, Section 151, consumer reporting agencies are obligated to ensure that all reported data is accurate, complete, and properly verified. Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 6801 of the GLBA imposes a duty to safeguard the accuracy and confidentiality of consumer information, which includes preventing the dissemination of false or misleading data.

Additionally, under the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), codified at 15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq., financial disclosures must be clear, complete, and accurate. The continued failure to correct and validate this disputed information constitutes a violation of my consumer rights and subjects Experian to potential regulatory and civil liability.
