Company: T.S. Holdings
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I moved out of my apartment in Fall of XXXX. I was expecting to receive my security deposit back by the end of the year. I had contacted my apartment to see what had specifically happened to my security deposit of {$500.00}, as I was worried they were overcharging me. I had to follow up with their management, until finally *I was told that I was going to receive a refund of $ XXXX. I did not receive the refund for several months. Once again, I followed up with clarified information that I may owe money ( no refund ), but I was not entirely sure. I requested clarification and offered to pay any balances if they existed. After 9 months of no response, I was notified by my bank that I received a negligent account on my credit report. They put me in debt collection with zero notice. Before I could dispute the account, one of the joint account members had paid this debt collection.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against Navy Federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal statement regarding XXXX failure to properly investigate disputes in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite my repeated efforts to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report, XXXX has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation and has continued reporting erroneous data. 

XXXX continues to respond within 24 hours stating that the accounts are accurate without proper investigation and proof of accuracy. 

Disputed Account ( s ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Department of EducationXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX According to recent findings from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), XXXX has XXXX found to improperly handle consumer disputes, failing to conduct thorough investigations and often maintaining inaccurate data despite clear evidence to the contrary.

2. Correct or delete any inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information.

3. Respond within 30 days of receiving a dispute. 



XXXX ' failure to comply with these legal obligations has caused undue harm to my credit profile, potentially affecting my financial standing, loan eligibility, and overall creditworthiness. If XXXX does not take immediate corrective action, I will escalate this matter to the CFPB, Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and, if necessary, pursue legal action for violations of the FCRA. 

I demand that XXXX immediately conduct a proper investigation, correct or remove the disputed information, and provide written confirmation of the resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX, the company, had refused to even concede the reporting was incorrect. I had been disputing late charges for the year XXXX since XXXX of XXXX. 

XXXX refused to even act for 9 months dating back to my original dispute of XX/XX/XXXX. 

XXXX provided written documentation, reasserting the erroneous reporting was CORRECT most recently in XXXX of XXXX. 

XXXX continues to claim their reporting was accurate, and stating the problem was the result of Equifax incorrectly posting XXXX delinquencies in the year XXXX. 

Equifax adamantly denies this and states they can not, and will not, make the corrections without the appropriate reporting from XXXX. 

XXXX continues to insist their reporting is accurate, yet 9 months later, four CFPB complaints later, XXXX claims to have sent correcting documents to Equifax... 

Today is XX/XX/XXXX... I am still showing delinquencies reported by XXXX on an account that was PAID IN FULL, four years prior. 

XXXX is blatantly lying about their culpability and their lack of response. 

I will continue to generate CFPB compalints until this problem is resolved..
