Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint to formally report Navy Federal Credit Union XXXX NAVY FCU ) for multiple violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to correct inaccurate, unverified, and outdated information after being notified. 

In a written dispute dated XX/XX/XXXX, I alerted NAVY FCU that : Account XXXX XXXXXXXX was marked with late payments, despite being paid as agreed and satisfied in full. 
They were continuing to report derogatory payment history, which is demonstrably false and harmful to my creditworthiness. 
I had never authorized hard inquiries appearing on my credit reports, specifically on : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX These inquiries lack permissible purpose as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681b. Navy FCU also failed to provide : Proof of a signed credit application Clear documentation justifying the inquiries A response within 30 days as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) and 1681s-2 Despite citing FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) in my dispute letter and requesting a method of verification, NAVY FCU has not responded with any verifiable evidence or made the required corrections. 

Their inaction and continued reporting of false data and unauthorized access to my credit file constitutes a willful violation of the FCRA, subjecting them to potential regulatory penalties and civil liability.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding the actions of MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT, which is attempting to collect a debt that I do not recognize and has failed to provide proper validation under federal law. 

MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT is not the original creditor, and as a third-party debt collector, they are required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. XXXXg, to provide written verification of the debt upon request. I have formally requested that XXXX XXXX XXXX validate this alleged debt by providing : A copy of the original signed contract or agreement A detailed and itemized statement from the original creditor Proof of the chain of custody or ownership of the debt ( showing how and when they acquired it ) Documentation clearly showing that this debt is mine To date, they have failed to provide any of this information. Despite that, they have reported this unverifiable debt to the credit bureaus, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. XXXX. Reporting a debt without proper verification is not only misleading but legally improper. 

Therefore, I am demanding the following : XXXX. If MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT can not provide valid and complete documentation as required by law, they must immediately cease all collection efforts. 
XXXX. The alleged debt must be immediately removed from all credit reports, as it is unverified and improperly reported. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter, as MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENTs actions appear to violate my rights under both the FDCPA and FCRA.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Im filing this complaint because I previously disputed multiple negative accounts on my credit reports that contain serious inaccuracies. After waiting for a reinvestigation, I received responses from the credit bureaus stating that the accounts had been verified as accurate. But to my disappointment, the exact same incorrect and incomplete information I disputed is still being reportedunchanged. It feels like the credit bureaus di not truly check the facts. I am not satisfied with this outcome. I want to understand how they came to the conclusion that this information is accurate. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to know the description of the procedures used to verify the accounts I disputed. This includes knowing what steps were taken, what sources were contacted, and how those sources confirmed information that I know to be wrong. The details of my request are fully outlined in the letter attached to this complaint.
