Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experience has failed to fulfill is legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving in accurate or unidentifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systematic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately, notify consumers of dispute, outcomes these failures align with my experience where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Experians inaction violates federal law and my right as a consumer.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Late or other fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding multiple overdraft fees applied to my account. 
These fees were assessed despite having sufficient funds available at the time the transactions were authorized. 
However, due to delayed posting of charges and credits, I was unfairly charged overdraft fees. 
This issue appears consistent with recent findings by the CFPB, which identified similar practices by Navy Federal Credit Union, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially having adequate funds. I believe these practices are deceptive and unfair.
