Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Consumer Complaint: I have a credit card with Navy Federal Credit Union. It was a card for XXXX. During the start of XXXX, my hours were cut down to XXXX hours per week. After 6 months my hours went back up to XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, I left the company due to severe anxiety. Navy Federal Credit Union knows all of this. I even offered to give them check stubs and show them proof of unemployment. They refused the information. Even so, they could see the deposits because my money was deposited into the checking account I had with Navy. They did set up payment arrangements during some of this time. XX/XX/2022, I started a new job and my hours were XXXX which they consider full time. I took a pay decrease as well. But I needed to go back to work because I have an XXXX daughter who I have to spend hundreds of dollars on meds even after insurance. I also offered to show Navy proof of this, however they refused. I get repeated calls during the week and voicemails. I spoke with several people and it was also on their recored line offering help. Help was also on the voicemails. However, when I call, the fact is they said, there ere no help to offer. The have my monthly payments at over {$300.00} a month and it draws interest daily even though the card has been closed for over a year. And I was told, its on your credit and will keep damaging it until I pay the monthly fee they said to make. I informed Navy credit cards department, managers, supervisors and employees that I can not afford that monthly payment with my income, keeping up with my daughter XXXX meds, bills and mortgage. A XXXX told me that I could just pay what I can. However, the next week when I could not access my checking account. I was transferred to speak with the credit card department first and make arrangements before they would release my money in my checking account. Which was {$700.00}. This has been happening for months. The same thing. Lock me out from my money. When I informed them, a XXXX said, I can pay what I can because of my situation. The other XXXX said, that's incorrect and didn't bother to listen to the call from previous and said, there is nothing in the notes. For the past couple a week I been sending {$130.00} to the credit cards bi-wkly. Paying what I can. And Navy Federal Credit Union dept is still reporting my credit card account late every month. By law, if I pay something, it is not suppose to be reported late. I have also been to my doctor because my anxiety is back out of control due to the high levels of stress from this card and the communications with Navy Federal Credit Union. I have to now take medication from this. I have told Navy Federal Credit Union credit card department this and have cried on the phone many times. And they do not care. They just keep telling me, it will keep reporting negative until I pay the over {$300.00} a month they are asking. Also the balance is not going down at all. It just keeps going up. Even though the card has been closed over a year. At least I am making an effort, however they not even taking that into consideration.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: There is an account on my credit profile from NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION with the account number XXXX. I have not received any goods or services from this company. I have never done any business with this company. This company has illegally obtained my Nonpublic Personal Information per 15 U.S. code 6802. For example, my name, social security number, and date of birth. Only a signed contract between me, the consumer, and NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION would make me legally bonded to any debt that they may claim. I have never provided any wet signature or Nonpublic Personal Information to this company on any agreement. Notice requirements Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless the such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title. ( b ) Opt-out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) the such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to a such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to a such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. I have not received any debt validation notice from NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION as they were lawfully required to provide to me, the consumer per FDCPA laws. Therefore, I was not rightfully able to dispute this account before they unlawfully caused harm to my consumer report. This is a request for proof of delivery/receipt that NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION has sent a debt Validation Notice to me, the consumer. Written and verbal communication directed via FDCPA was not provided to me, the consumer ; allowing me to properly dispute this invalidated debt.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: On or about XXXX XXXX XXXX I applied for a Navy Federal Credit Union CashRewards VISA card with NFCU. I received a denial letter stating reasons I was denied ( Denial Letter Attached ). I then mailed NFCU an adverse action letter addressing the denial ( Letter Attached ), in which I received no response from the financial institution. I do believe in fact that I was discriminated against. I would like NFCU to understand that I am aware of how Financial Institutions do business in commerce. I would like NFCU to promptly mail me back my application ( # XXXX ). If they can not mail me the original application, then they have violated my consumer rights. I know my rights and quit a few laws that protect those rights. I understand that my signature creates the security collateral in ANY consumer credit transaction. It is a fact, I am aware, that the term credit means the right granted by I, the original creditor, to a debtor NFCU to defer payment of the debt or to NFCU to incur debt or a loan from the US Treasury and defer its payment. This makes NFCU ( 12 U.S, C. 1431 } a borrower or solicitor who induced me to the treasury window to receive funds unbeknownst to me, at the time of the transaction. I, the cunsumer came to extend credit and not receive a loan from the U.S. Treasury. NFCU 's lack of willful full disclosure was the fraud of execution in conjunction with fraud of inducement brought forth by NFCU. I am aware that although I was told I was denied, the application was still deposited into the Federal Reserve Bank for notes. The Federal Reserve Act Section 16 parts 1 and 2 expresses this fact. I am also aware, in accordance with the term creditor in subsection 1602 ( g ), pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( i ) a consumer in reference to a credit transaction is the party whose credit is extended from is a natural person and the subject of the consumer credit transaction is primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. Furthermore, I am aware that my social security card is a credit card pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1602 ( l ) as any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device. Existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. I am also aware that the unlawful use of a credit card such as ( Social Security Card ) under 15 U.S.C. 1602 ( l ) by a organization or person other than the card holder who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority for such use and from which the cardholder ( me ) receives no benefit equals unauthorized use pursuant to 15 U.S.C 1602 ( p ). I am a long standing member of this Financial Institution and I am very disappointed.
