Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On Sunday, XX/XX/year>, I made a payment for my XXXX credit card account for {$250.00} and used my Navy Federal checking account as the payment method as ACH. On XX/XX/year>, my credit card balance was {$280.00}. In XX/XX/year>, I was able to see the ACH charge from XXXX for {$250.00} and my balance was still {$280.00}. Today, XX/XX/year>, I received an email that stated I would be charged an overdraft fee due to insufficient funds, I logged in my balance is {$240.00}. Somehow a old charge was updated and took away cents to make my balance below the ACH charge from XXXX, that was already showing on XX/XX/year> and my balance was above the ACH charge amount. This is not fair and this is unjust and poor business practice.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I was told that multiple hard credit checks ( shopping rates for purchasing a home ) within 30 days wouldnt damage my credit score. I decided to be thorough and had XXXX credit checks for mortgage rate shopping from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/2024, and this caused my credit score to drop significantly.

Also, I have paid off my credit card debt, but the debt is still showing up on my credit report, and is still damaging my credit score. I have never had my credit score be below XXXX until now ( now its only XXXX! ). If I dont receive help from these credit companies quickly, I might lose the home Im trying to get. Please help me with this.

Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Columbia Debt Recovery is charging interest and making my credit go down, They may only charge interest and fees as they were outlined in the original contract. That's a rule specifically defined in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I did not sign a contract with columbia debt recovery and i have asked XXXX  multiple times to provide me with this proof, they keep sending me a letter stating its accurate and thats it. My name is not enough for proof. This is not my debt and i do not owe any apartment complex any money, if this was the case there would be a eviction on file with XXXX  courts. I am demanding to remove off my credit, this is hurting my credit everytime they add interest that is not even apart of any contract i have signed. This is not a credit card or open loan to add interest because they took the debt from a company that is stating its mines and i explained to them that this debt is not my debt. They are refusing to remove this debt off my credit and this is against the fair credit reporting laws in maryland. Columbia debt recovery has long term records of making people pay debts that are not theirs, they are harassing 's me and very aggressive trying to tell me this is my debt and sending me a lease for proof. that is not proof of the debt the complex is stating is mines.
