Company: VYSTAR CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against VyStar Credit Union regarding their handling of a fraudulent transaction totaling {$650.00} sent internationally via XXXX. Despite multiple efforts to dispute the transactions and provide detailed evidence that the seller ( XXXX XXXX in XXXX ) failed to deliver the agreed-upon goods, VyStar has refused to assist or reverse the charges. 

XXXX payments were made from my VyStar account through XXXX on : XX/XX/year> - {$100.00} XX/XX/year> - {$250.00} XX/XX/year> - {$300.00} These payments were for a custom tuxedo for my sons senior prom scheduled on XX/XX/year>. I repeatedly contacted the seller for updates, images, and a tracking number, but received only excuses and delays. The product was never delivered, forcing me to make an additional purchase locally. 

I promptly reported the issue to VyStar and provided supporting documentation, including : Screenshots of all communication showing fraud indicators A timeline of events A copy of the original invoice Proof the event date had passed with no delivery VyStar refused to take action or investigate, citing policies regarding third-party transfer services, despite my proactive fraud alert. I believe this is a violation of their obligation to assist members in dispute and fraud cases, especially with documented proof. 

I am requesting that the CFPB review this case and urge VyStar to re-evaluate their lack of intervention in what is clearly a documented case of international fraud.

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase from Victoria 's Secret on XX/XX/year>, for {$57.00}. 

I made two payments : {$30.00} on XX/XX/XXXX {$90.00} on XX/XX/XXXX These payments total {$120.00} which is more than double the amount of my original purchase. I have not made any further purchases. 

However, my account now shows a new balance of {$130.00}, and interest is being charged. I emailed the company and asked why I am being charged again, but I received no clear explanation. 

Please help resolve this dispute. I believe I am being unfairly overcharged and penalized.

Complaint narrative:
Experian continues to report a late payment on my credit report after both XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX has said it is inaccurate and I have filed XXXX disputes with Experian. Experian does NOT investigate disputes, or provide any information to consumers. Instead they send automated emails, say the dispute has been resolved, but do NOT update anything. The 30 day late payment on the account never happened, and the account was paid in full and closed. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has sent me a check for the disputed account because they said that I overpaid. No matter what I submit to experian they will not answer and they close the dispute but do NOT update my credit report, causing damage to myself and family for no reason. I tried calling several times to follow up at XXXX as that is their main number, and no one picks up, it puts you through many options and then just hangs up. I have XXXX years of credit history with XXXX late payments. Experian 's inability to manage my data should not cause my credit score to be lowered. I would like Experian to remove this right away or provide me with documentation / justification as to why not.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Nelnet, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate and unfair negative information reported on my credit file regarding my federally-held student loans. According to my credit report obtained from your agency, The Department of Education is reporting a 90+ day late payment in XXXX, XXXX, which I firmly believe is incorrect and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C . 1681 et seq., and applicable federal guidance on student loan forbearance and reporting policies.

Background and Federal Relief Programs : As you are aware, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, federal student loans were placed in administrative forbearance beginning in XX/XX/XXXX, and no payments, interest, or collections were to occur during this period. This program was extended multiple times, up through XXXX, under the CARES Act and later actions by the U.S. Department of Education and presidential executive orders. During this period : Student loan accounts were to be reported as current or paid as agreed, regardless of payment activity.

Reporting a late payment during this relief period may constitute inaccurate and misleading reporting.

The alleged 90+ day late payment violates this directive, as I was under the impression that my loans were in automatic forbearance, and I was not made aware of any changes or obligations that would lead to a delinquency being validly reported.

FCRA Violations : Under the FCRA Section 623, data furnishers are required to provide only accurate and complete information. Reporting a delinquency during a known period of federal forbearance violates the following : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Furnishers must not report information they know or have reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate.

15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy.

Additionally, the reporting of a 90+ day late mark after years of on-time reporting and forbearance may constitute materially misleading information, which courts have held to be grounds for removal under the FCRA.

Request for Immediate Action : Accordingly, I respectfully request that : The late payment information be investigated and removed from all three credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ). 

My student loan accounts be updated to show current, paid as agreed, or in forbearance status for the disputed time frame.

A full reinvestigation of this matter be conducted under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, and I be notified of the outcome within the required 30-day period.

I have enclosed a copy of my credit report highlighting the disputed item ( s ), as well as a copy of my government-issued ID and proof of address.

Please consider this a formal dispute under the FCRA. If the inaccurate information is not corrected, I reserve the right to pursue further remedies under federal and state law.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any 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.
