  I have exercised my right as a consumer to dispute an account on my ********************** profile. The account in question is from Miami Postal Credit Union. Unfortunately they have failed to respond to any of my correspondence. I am trying to get them to validate a debt but they refuse to correspond with me. my next step is a law suit.

  We have reviewed the account in question and all our information has been verified and what we are reporting is accurate.
  
  ***************** established membership by opening a savings account with ********************** on February 13, ****.  On June 18, 2007, he opened a checking account and on November 29, 2018, he was approved for an unsecured loan in the amount of $3,000. When approved for the loan, he acknowledged that he would make regular payments to eradicate this debt. As a result of nonpayment, the unsecured loan was charged off in 2019. When the account was charged off, a balance remained.
  
  As of today, ****************** owes MPS Credit Union $ 3,242.75.If he pays the balance owed, we will report the loan as paid.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  The business has responded to everyone but me the consumer. They have shown me no proof of this allege debt. I have  asked for validation of this debt several times and they have ignored my correspondence. I will litigate to resolve this and file a complaint with the attorney generals office. They have willfully violated the **** and the FDCPA.

  Thanks for your assistance,

  
  Sincerely,

  I visited this branch today in regards to a fraudulent charge in my acct. I explained to one of the managers by the name of ****** that I had an issue with a Lyft driver fraudulently accusing me of something which resulted in my acct being charge a fee I wasnt aware of until today. I asked them to waive the insufficient funds fees I was charged because it is not fair for my acct to be charged due to someone else trying to scam me. This woman was not professional nor cared about the situation I was telling her and her colleague. She informed her colleague that she is not refunded my money even though I did not cause/was aware of additional charges on my acct. I have contacted the **** which printed me to contact ****************************** which I will be doing in the morning. This is highly unprofessional for these people to try and keep my money because this driver wanted to scheme (also being taking care of now). I showed her colleague the many times *** even contacted this company about this driver false accusations which MPSCU still refused to refund my money.

  On Tuesday, April 18, 2023, ************* initially called MPS Credit Union asking to speak to a supervisor. When she was unable to connect, because the supervisor was assisting another member,she became irate with the *********** Representative. She called back in and eventually spoke to the *** ******, who advised her of the process for filing a dispute pertaining to her issue with the $80 damage fee/withdrawal/charge from Lyft that occurred on April 15, 2023. It should be noted that while ************** refers to this as fraud throughout her comment, she has admitted that she was a passenger in the Lyft, so this is not fraud, but a dispute that she has with ****. She was advised of the process for disputing the charge, which involves her calling a number to file the claim, which will then be investigated. She did follow the process to file the dispute claim and it has been processed and pending resolution.
  
  Later that day, ************** came into the branch and sat with a Member Service Representative (***) demanding that we reverse two $35 non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees that she was assessed by the credit union on April 18, 2023. These fees are charged to members when withdrawals exceeding the amount of funds in the account. The fee is disclosed to the member,via a Schedule of Fees, when they open the account and its also posted on our website. A review of **************** account revealed that she was assessed two NSF fees because she initiated two payments to *** which did not clear her account because of lack of funds in the account. ************** became loud and vulgar with the *** (and other employees) when attempting to explain that this wouldnt have happened if the Lyft charge had not occurred. Our ***s are authorized to reverse one fee, which the *** explained to her; however, ************** heatedly told the *** that she didnt want just one fee reversed that she wanted both reversed. The *** consulted with the credit unions ** of Compliance about the case. **************** account was reviewed and it was discovered that a one-time courtesy exception had been made by the ** of Operations on March 31, 2023 to reverse an NSF of $35 for ************* for a previous incident she had. Fees are assessed on an account when there are not enough funds to cover a transaction/charge. A one time exception was made for ************** less than 30 days prior to this incident, so the reversal requested was not approved.
  
  On Wednesday, April 19, 2023, a message was received from the Better Business Bureau with this complaint.
  
  On Thursday, April 20, 2023, the ** of Operations and ** of Compliance called ************** to explain that the rudeness displayed to our employees would not be tolerated. They were merely attempting to explain the need to follow proper procedures to file the claim,which would be investigated. And if **** found that the charge was incorrectly charged, they would reverse their fee and then MPS Credit Union would follow suit and reverse the 2 fees requested. However, ************** again was loud, rude and vulgar on the phone. Not accepting the process as was described to her.Ultimately, we did reverse the two fees shed previously requested and an additional two fees, for a total credit of $140, with the understanding that the account would be restricted to stop further fees being assessed, since the *** may again attempt to collect, and for her to continue to pay her loan.

  * Please see attached documents.I financed a car with them, I moved to ********* and changed my phone number, they take the money from my card monthly but I didn't notice that they reimbursed it, they say they tried to contact me but they couldn't and they didn't send me a letter or anything and for only one month they took my car and now they won't even let me pay the month that is due on the car. What I understand is 90 days to repossess the car, I think it is not right that they do not want to let me pay the month due on the car. Translated by BBB 9/20/2022

  This is a Car Factory loan and he was a first payment default. His loan was funded July 15, 2022 . The terms of the loan are outlined in truth in lending disclosure that he received when the loan was closed. He was to make monthly payments, the first which was due Aug 17, 2022 and he didn't. The first payment arrived Aug. 24, 2022 and was reversed due to non-sufficient funds. A  2nd payment came in on Aug. 29, 2022 and was also reversed for non-sufficient funds.   

  We tried contacting him. His phone number was disconnected. We made contact with his two references one of the references is his dad and the other reference is a friend. Both of them were going to give him our message in several occasions. We also sent him emails at the email that was provided at the time of the loan was closed, he'd confirmed that was his correct email.

  We started our collection efforts with phone calls when he was one day delinquent. On the 28th day,  I sent the car out for repo since we didnt have no response/contact with our member at all. In addition, the insurance was canceled on 7/16/2022 the date after we closed the loan.

  After the vehicle was repo'd, his mother contacted the credit union, she even came via  an uber driver to talk to us. The vehicle was insured with her name, she was probably the one driving the car but she is not on the loan.
  
  
  To respond to the resolution that he wants - no we cant give him the car back.  There is no law that states that we have 90 days before we could pick up a vehicle.   

  He has until the 29th of this month to pay off the loan, plus the repo fees.

  My name is ****** *********** **** with account # XXXXX-XX I have been apart of the Miami postal credit union since May 25th, 2019 where a loan for a car payment was created in the amount of $473.53 to be to be debited on the 22nd or 23rd of every month, I also had a unsecured personal loan which I have long completed. On November 1st, 2021 around 3:42am I went downstairs at my household and realized that my car was missing, I saw a missed call from a "***** ********* from Miami postal credit Union earlier In The afternoon, I placed a call to that individual around 3:51pm of which the call lasted 6 minutes, I myself work in customer service and "***** ********* was downright distasteful, condescending and disrespectful, i asked ***** if my car was taken and in the most CONDESCENDING MANNER" , she said "YEAH" I attempted to advise "*****" that the payments were made, a payment was made on October 25th, 2021 which was returned due to insufficient funds on OCTOBER 28th, 2021 a retry was done which posted on my account, when I queried from "*****" she kept referencing the fact that the "ACCOUNT" was 71 days past due, i enquirer of "*****" to take a look into the account because the payments were made as also on 08/16/2021 a payment was made of $955.01 over the phone which I will attach below in this email. I enquired of "*****" what needs to be done because this isn't correct she replied the full balance needs to be paid as also the tow/wreckage fee which amounted to over $19,000 and change. In disbelief I repeated the amount to "*****" who stated VERBATIM "UH YH THATS WHAT I SAID" as if she's getting joy or commission out of the occurrence that happened. I respectfully ended the call, reached out to my banking institution who verified all the payments were made.
