Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts and inquiries below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. 

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute three inaccurate and fraudulent entries currently appearing on my credit report. I am a victim of identity theft and have already submitted disputes regarding two of these accounts over 30 days ago with no resolution. Instead of removing the incorrect information, transunion has now added a duplicate collection account under a different name for the same original debt which is unlawful and damaging. 

The accounts in question are as follows : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Type : Collection/Chargeoff Balance : {$1000.00} 2. XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Type : Collection/Chargeoff Balance : {$0.00} 3. XXXX XXXX XXXX ( duplicate ) Account Type : Personal Loans Balance : {$0.00} These are the same debt reported multiple times under different names. Reporting the same debt more than once is misleading and constitutes inaccurate and unverifiable reporting in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

As per FCRA Section 611, a consumer reporting agency is required to delete or correct inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information within 30 days of receiving a dispute. The continued reporting of the disputed and duplicated accounts after the 30-day window has passed is a clear violation of your obligations under federal law.

Additionally, the addition of a new, duplicate entry after a dispute has been filed appears to be retaliatory and violates FCRA Section 607 ( b ), which mandates the maximum possible accuracy in credit reporting.

I am demanding the following actions : - Immediate deletion of all inaccurate and duplicate entries related to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
- Written confirmation of these deletions within 15 days of receipt of this letter. 
- A full reinvestigation and documentation of your findings and sources of information used.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

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.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to urgently supplement my complaint by formally stating that I was a victim of identity theft that significantly affected my prior bank accounts. While I can not confirm exactly how my personal information was compromised, I believe it may have occurred following the loss of my phone, wallet and SSN. I did not authorize or initiate any of the suspicious or criminal activities that occurred on these accounts. These fraudulent actions were entirely the result of someone else using my stolen information and financial information. I am requesting that all such activity be permanently removed from my record. Under 15 U.S.C 1681c-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to block any information from appearing on my consumer reports that resulted from identity theft. This law mandates that credit reporting agencies and financial institutions must not include fraudulent information in a consumers file. Additionally, under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) and the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, I am entitled to protections that ensure fraudulent accounts and transactions cause by identity theft are not held against me. I respectfully urge the CFPB and the involved financial institutions to take immediate corrective action by removing all records and consequences related to these fraudulent accounts and activities. These entries are causing harm to my financial reputation and do not reflect my actions or financial behavior. Please treat this matter with urgency and in full accordance with my rights under federal law.
