Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing this account because I do not owe this debt to such company, the collection agency has failed to provide validation information as required by 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) and has not allowed me to dispute the account under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ). These omissions have led to a violation of my consumer rights. I have recently contacted the other credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX ) regarding this matter, and they promptly corrected the inaccuracies in my credit report. I am hopeful that Equifax will take similar action to rectify this issue and ensure that all items on my report are accurately and fairly reported under FCRA regulations. The Collection Agencies reporting practices, which involve false and misleading information, are in clear violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ), and have been corrected by other agencies.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease — Credit denial
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) regarding the denial of my auto loan application. The reason provided for this denial was alleged delinquencies and unverifiable information on my credit report, which constitutes public information. As a longstanding member of NFCU, I applied for this loan in good faith and have exercised my consumer rights throughout the application process. NFCU 's failure to comply with federal regulations, including the Consumer Credit Protection Act ( CCPA ) and relevant statutes under Title 12 of the U.S. Code, has resulted in undue harm to my ability to obtain credit.

Denial Basis and Lack of Transparency My application was denied on the basis of unverifiable information and alleged delinquencies. Under Title 12 U.S. Code 5511, financial institutions are obligated to protect consumers and ensure transparency in credit decisions. The unverifiable information NFCU referenced was not fully disclosed to me, and this lack of clarity violates consumer protections afforded under Regulation B ( Equal Credit Opportunity Act ), which ensures that credit decisions must be explained clearly and fairly. I have not received verifiable or accurate information about these alleged delinquencies despite multiple attempts to address this issue with NFCU. 

Good Faith Application Process I applied for the auto loan over the phone with one of NFCU 's loan officers. During this call, I was explicitly asked whether I wished to leave additional notes on my application regarding my consumer rights, which I agreed to and requested. Despite my instructions, the underwriter completely disregarded the notes I asked to be added. This demonstrates a failure in NFCUs internal processes and underwriting standards, raising concerns about their compliance with the law under Title 12 U.S. Code 1785, which outlines the obligations of credit unions in ensuring fair practices and diligent underwriting. 

Violation of Consumer Rights NFCU has denied me the right to credit based on alleged negative public information on my credit report, which should be verifiable under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681. My repeated attempts to resolve these issues have been ignored or mishandled. This violates the Consumer Credit Protection Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1601 ), which ensures that credit is available to all Americans without unjustified barriers or baseless denials.
