Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
PENFED CREDIT UNION is in clear violation of the following sections of the law ; 15USC1642 15USC1681m, 12CFR1002 and are subject to criminal liability for violating 15USC1691. PENFED CREDIT UNION pulled a copy of my XXXX consumer report without written authorization or permissible purpose pursuant to both 15USC1681 ( B ) and 18USC1028 ( A ). On ( XX/XX/XXXX ), PENFED CREDIT UNION sent me a notice that I was denied credit for financing a XXXX XXXX XXXX. According to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act which is codified in 15USC1691c and pursuant to civil liability under 15USC1691K, Adverse Action against a consumer is AGAINST THE LAW. I have been discriminated against by PENFED CREDIT UNION due to the response I received from you ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 
My social security number ( credit card ) was used by PENFED CREDIT UNION to make an application for financing the vehicle XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, in good faith and credit was not issued. Therefore, because I received no benefit, due to your company denying me of my own credit, this is fraudulent activity on behalf of your financial institution ( unauthorized use of credit card ). As the original creditor in any credit transaction, only I decide if I was approved or denied for an extension my own credit. If PENFED CREDIT UNION fails to make reasonable procedures to resolve this matter and compensate me for the use of my credit card in the next 15 days, I will have no choice but to make your financial institution criminally liable for all actual damages pursuant to 15USC1681 ( n ) and 15USC1681 ( o ). I will also follow up with an invoice seeking {$10000.00} per violation of the law found in this transaction.
