Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I was granted a divorce and in that divorce my ex husband was responsible for his indebtedness to Navy Federal Credit union. He is solely responsible according to the state of Indiana where I am a legal resident and also XXXX XXXX where I am a resident. I reached out to navy federal credit Union on multiple occasions. I filed disputes with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX unfairly refuses to remove my name from the debt. Even before the was an official ruling there was a temporary ruling assigning my ex husband initially responsible, XXXX federal did not want to hear it. That was XX/XX/XXXX. It is majorly impacting my credit score and has been for years. My ex husband chooses not to make payments regularly regardless of his obligations and it has impacted my ability to own a home for the XXXX children he has abandoned and does not consistently financially support. It is beyond unfair for XXXX XXXX to continue to negatively impact the quality of my children 's lifes for the neglect of their father, I am the only parent they have and I can not afford a home with such disregard for Indiana state law. XXXX XXXX has demanded I make the payments myself if I want the debt removed from my credit. THIS IS NOT MY DEBT.

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX, and I'm writing to request your help in contacting this company. I attempted to contact them in order to see why someone had created an account in my name. This is a serious matter, and I'm disappointed that it's now having an effect on my credit score. I do not give anyone permission to use my name, date of birth, or any other personal information since it violates Data Privacy. They must determine who started the account in my name and simply transfer the information to that person. Kindly help me in fixing this issue.

Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: I took out a secured card at Navy Federal Credit Union ending in XXXX depositing {$200.00} to use against. The card was completely paid off and account closed on XX/XX/2022. They refuse to give me the original {$200.00} I deposited to create the card and just give poorly explained excuse after excuse as to why they can't return my rightful money -- or even use my paid off card which is still displayed as active in my banking dashboard despite being closed. They agree the card was completely paid off including all interest and still refuse to release my money or even close the account/remove it from my banking dashboard -- which should have been taken care of the day the entire amount was paid and account closed. I am surprised and disgusted by this banks actions ; literally taking $ XXXX off my back with no discernible reason as to why they can't return my money. This is malicious in nature and the only people I can get on the phone to solve this are malcontents that insist no solution exists.

Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Account opened as a result of fraud

Consumer Complaint: Sometime in XX/XX/2022, someone fraudulantly opened up Checking, Savings and Money Market accounts with Navy Federal Credit Union under my name. They even overdrew {$6600.00} from the checking account by depositing {$11000.00} and withdrawing {$18000.00}. When I received the " Welcome '' package from Navy Federal Credit Union on XX/XX/2022, I contacted and reported this as fraud to NFCU 's security department. They have advised me that I will receive a mail in 15 days to update the status of the investigation. As of today, I have not received any mail from NFCU 's security department. I keep receiving bills from their collection department for me to pay the overdrawn amount of {$6600.00}. I tried calling various times to find out the status of my claim however their wait time is about two hours that is if the phone does not disconnect by itself while holding. My main concern is the credit union 's collection department reporting to credit bureaus for non-payment of the overdrawn amount and damage my good credit history. Attached please see the relevant documents. I would appreciate if CFPB can help or assist me in this matter. Thank You,
