Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized and Unnotified Transfers Between Accounts Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting this complaint regarding Navy Federal Credit Unions practice of transferring funds between my accounts without my prior consent or notification. This behavior has caused significant frustration, confusion, and disruption to my personal finances. 

Navy Federal has repeatedly moved money from one account to another without seeking my authorization or informing me beforehand. As a customer, I believe this practice violates my rights under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ), which mandates that financial institutions obtain proper authorization for such transfers and provide transparency to account holders. 

I request the CFPB investigate Navy Federal Credit Unions handling of these unauthorized and unnotified account transfers. This issue not only undermines trust in their services but also creates unnecessary financial stress. 

I would appreciate your assistance in ensuring Navy Federals compliance with federal regulations and addressing this matter in a fair and timely manner. 

Thank you for your attention to my complaint. 

Sincerely,

Company public response: Company believes it acted appropriately as authorized by contract or law

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION regarding multiple overdraft fees I incurred.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I filed formal disputes with Experian and Equifax regarding multiple inaccurate charge-off accounts on my credit report. These accounts had already been removed from XXXX, yet Experian and Equifax continue to report them, creating inconsistencies and inaccuracies in my credit profile. 

The disputed accounts include charge-offs from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite my efforts to correct this information, Experian and Equifax have failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation as required by FCRA 1681i and continue to report these accounts inaccurately.

Actions Taken Multiple dispute letters were sent to Experian and Equifax, requesting verification and removal. 

A formal complaint was filed with the Texas Attorney Generals Office on XX/XX/year>, urging them to investigate Experian and Equifax for failing to ensure accurate reporting under FCRA 1681e ( b ).

A final dispute notice was sent to Experian demanding the removal of these inaccurate accounts and warning of legal action if they fail to comply. 

Despite these steps, Experian has responded stating that they will not remove these accounts, even though XXXX has deleted it. This is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as Experian has failed to provide proper verification while continuing to report unverifiable information. 

Requested Resolution To resolve this issue fairly and in compliance with FCRA regulations, I request the following : Immediate removal of all disputed charge-off accounts from my Experian and Equifax credit reports.

A written explanation from Experian and Equifax detailing their verification process for these accounts and why they are reporting inconsistently.

Updated credit reports reflecting accurate information to ensure consistency across all three major credit bureaus.

A formal assurance that these accounts will not be reinserted into my credit file after deletion.

Experian and Equifax have had ample time to comply with my requests and have failed to do so. Their continued noncompliance is causing financial harm and negatively impacting my ability to obtain credit. I request the CFPB to enforce corrective actions and hold these credit reporting agencies accountable for violating my consumer rights under federal law.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing a formal complaint regarding the unfair expiration of my {$220.00} in XXXX  rewards and the failure of both XXXX rewards program and their credit card issuer to resolve this issue. Despite following the instructions provided in XXXX  email, my rewards were improperly removed, and I was given conflicting responses from customer service. 

Issue Summary On XX/XX/year>, I received an email from XXXX XXXX stating that my {$220.00} in rewards would expire on XX/XX/year>. The email clearly stated : " Shop and redeem your rewards across our family of brands, no merchandise exclusions. Or use your XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX an everyday purchase anywhere XXXX is accepted. " ( attachment XXXX ) Due to my schedule, I was unable to shop at XXXX family brands before the expiration date. 

On XX/XX/year>, I used my XXXX XXXX XXXX to make XXXX purchases at Target, a grocery store where XXXX is accepted ( attachments XXXX ). 

On XX/XX/year>, I checked my account and found that all my {$220.00} in rewards had expired, despite making purchases as instructed. 

Customer Service Failures I contacted XXXX XXXX Customer Service, and they directed me to the XXXX Credit Card XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX  XXXX  XXXX then referred me back to XXXX  Rewards, with neither resolving my issue. 

I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau ( BBB ). XXXX responded that purchases must be made at their brand stores to retain rewards, which contradicts the clear statement in their XX/XX/year> email. 

Despite my appeal, XXXX refused to acknowledge their misleading communication and closed the complaint without resolution.
