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

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 filing a complaint against Cash App ( Block , INC ) due to inadequate customer service and unfair practices, which violate the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ). Specifically, Cash App failed to take timely and effective measures to prevent and address fraud on their platform, leaving my account vulnerable and unprotected. Furthermore, their dispute resolution process was unfair and deceptive, as they did not comply with error resolution requirements under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E. These actions have caused significant inconvenience and financial loss, and I seek appropriate redress for these violations.

Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C. 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

XXXX has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the fair credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against XXXX, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcome.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Toyota Motor Credit Corporation for unlawful debt collection practices concerning a debt that I believe is barred by the statute of limitations under Texas law. The debt in question was charged off on XX/XX/XXXX, and I believe it pertains to an account originally held with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation. Under the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Section 16.004 ( a ), the statute of limitations for most consumer debts, including auto loans, is 4 years from the date of default or the last payment made. Based on this statute, the time limit for filing a lawsuit to recover this debt expired on XX/XX/XXXX. As a result, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation or any collection agency acting on their behalf is no longer legally able to pursue this debt in court or engage in collection efforts. Despite the expiration of the statute of limitations, Toyota Motor Credit Corporation has continued to contact me in an effort to collect this debt. I have not received any formal debt validation notice in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which requires that a collection agency provide proof of the debt and its legal right to collect it.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to correct multiple inaccurate late payment notations on my credit report. As a federally protected consumer under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to accurate reporting under 15 USC 1681e ( b ) and the right to privacy under 15 USC 1681a ( 4 ). Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified four accounts where late payments were inaccurately reported and should be updated to reflect a " Paid as Agreed '' status. These accounts include XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax has failed to conduct a proper investigation as required under 15 USC 1681i ( a ). Additionally, under 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report by the written instructions of the consumer. I never provided written authorization for Equifax to report these inaccurate late payments. By failing to ensure accurate reporting, Equifax has not only violated federal law but has also caused significant harm to me, including defamation of character, emotional distress, and financial hardship. Due to these inaccuracies, I have been unable to secure a mortgage, which has left my family in a vulnerable housing situation. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate Equifax 's failure to comply with federal law and take immediate corrective action. I demand that Equifax update the accounts to reflect a " Paid as Agreed '' status, provide written confirmation of the corrections, and issue an updated copy of my credit report within 14 days. Equifaxs negligence in reporting and failure to correct these inaccuracies violate my rights under the FCRA, and I urge the CFPB to intervene to ensure compliance and accountability.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section XXXX ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports
