Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Credit card company forcing arbitration
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Dispute of Inaccurate Charge-Off Reporting Navy Federal Credit Union Dear CFPB Representative , I am filing a formal dispute regarding an inaccurate charge-off account reported by Navy Federal Credit Union on my credit report. The charge-off, as reflected in my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX reports , is incorrect and should be removed due to a court dismissal of the associated case ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Florida ). 
Basis for Dispute : On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Florida, dismissed the lawsuit filed by Navy Federal Credit Union due to failure to serve. This dismissal invalidates any claim of outstanding debt and, by extension, the legitimacy of the charge-off reported to the credit bureaus. 

Furthermore, discrepancies exist in how the account is reported across different bureaus : XXXX : Reports late payments from XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, then a charge-off. 

XXXX : Shows inconsistencies, with some months marked paid on time and others late before the charge-off. 

XXXX : Contains similar errors but has been difficult to verify due to access issues. 

Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), furnishers are required to provide accurate and complete information to credit bureaus. Given the courts dismissal of the case, any continued reporting of this account as a charge-off is inaccurate and misleading.

Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. Navy Federal Credit Union has failed to ensure accurate reporting, warranting immediate correction and removal of this entry from my credit report.

Requested Actions : Investigate and verify the accuracy of the reported charge-off in light of the courts dismissal. 

Instruct all credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) to remove the charge-off entry immediately due to its invalidity. 

Provide a written response confirming the outcome of your investigation and an updated credit report reflecting the removal. 

Supporting Documents Enclosed : A copy of the court order dismissing the case ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Florida ). 
Copies of my credit reports showing the inconsistencies and inaccurate reporting. 

Given the legal basis for this dispute, I expect this matter to be resolved promptly in compliance with federal regulations. Should this issue persist, I am prepared to escalate the matter further. 

Thank you for your time and immediate attention. Please confirm receipt and provide an update on the status of my dispute at your earliest convenience. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Experian and Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit R Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian and Equifax, alleging systemic 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 and Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items 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 Experian and Equifax inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I hope this message finds you well. I want to share my experience regarding an error on my credit report related to my student loan account Loan Servicer : Aidvantage Account # XXXX. My report shows a 90-day late payment, which I believe is incorrect. 

A 90-day late payment indicates that Ive missed three payments in a row, which can significantly impact my credit score. In reality, my payment history is current, and I have only missed one payment, which should be reported as a 30-day late payment instead. The difference between these two statuses is substantial, and I want to ensure that my credit report accurately reflects my payment behavior. 

I also want to highlight that according to the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) Section 9-507, creditors are required to report accurate information about a consumers payment history. Misreporting can lead to misunderstandings about my financial responsibility and affect my ability to secure loans in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide regarding this matter.

The inquiry in question specifically is as follows : " XXXX SPARROW FINANCIAL '' - On XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Appears On Reports At : XXXX I would like the bank to provide proof that the inquiry was for a legitimate/authorized purpose as well as explicit evidence that is was requested by myself.

If they are unable to prove that the inquiry was, in fact, for a legitimate business purpose and requested by myself, then I would like it to be removed immediately. 

Thank you.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
There are multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that must be removed without delay. Some contain incorrect details that do not match my records, others are entirely unfamiliar, and several have been reported without proper verification. These discrepancies violate the FCRA, which requires all information to be 100 % accurate and backed by legitimate documentation. 

To resolve this matter fairly, I demand that all inaccurate items be permanently removed from my credit report. If the reporting entities can not provide legitimate proof confirming their accuracy, they have no legal right to remain on my file. I expect immediate corrective action to restore the integrity of my credit profile.

Dear Experian Dispute Department, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts on my credit report.

I request a thorough reinvestigation into this discrepancy. If the repeated charge-off entries are found to be inaccurate, I ask that the accounts be removed entirely from my credit report to ensure compliance with FCRA regulations .

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this dispute and keep me informed throughout the process.
