I received a notice that I have a collection from NAVY FCU on my credit report. It says it was opened on 6/16/2021 for $ 755 with account number starting in ********** that I am not aware of nor am I responsible for. I never went into business with this company or signed any agreements with them so they should not be reporting anything on my credit. This is a violation of my rights as a consumer according to the FCRA and FDCPA. I would like for this collection to be removed asap or I will file a CFPB and FTC report.Business response

I am a customer with Navy Federal Credit Union and recently discovered a fee charged to my account associated with a credit card that is not active. To my knowledge, the credit card linked to this account has not been used for a considerable period and should not have incurred any additional fees. Despite the card's inactivity, a fee was levied on the account on 06/14/2023. I was not made aware of any policy that would entail such a charge on an inactive account, and I believe this action is unjustified. Upon noticing the charge, I immediately contacted Navy Federal Credit Union to clarify the situation and seek a resolution. Despite my efforts, the issue has not yet been resolved satisfactorily.Business response

April 2023 I attempted to open an account online and also did online funding. By May when I didn't receive any updates I called customer service and was told I had an account from 2012 and needed to send in a copy of my birth certificate and license and I did that. About a week ago I called back in to get an update and was told I needed to call the security department to get my deposit back or to have the account reopened. I've called in several times but was unsuccessful in speaking with someone due to the wait times being over 2 years.I would like an update on my account and deposit.

This is for both of my cards Go rewards and ******** ******* **** rewards. I am also attaching a police report. To whom it may concern, I have been a victim of not only identity theft but also my vehicle was stolen along with my personal belongings. I have submitted information already with detective and report as well. My account has been compromised on numerous occasions throughout the timeframe of having an account. A few dates that are known to these compromised instances are: Sep 24/2019, 10/17/2021 a representative noticed several devices logged into my online banking that did not belong to me and had me to remove the devices via online banking then had me reset my password and update my phones software. A similar situation or October 18/2021. September 19/2022 my accounts were once again compromised. Jan 22 /2022 I did not receive my card in the mail and called in. There was another incident where I received a text message asking if I was making a purchase in Hollywood, California and I called into Navy federal to report this as well this phone call is noted and recorded. I have had several situations and I was told that because my information was used at the same location when my vehicle was stolen is why these charges were placed back onto my account. I have been a member and value the service of navy federal I would never jeopardize my relationship and in the past have never used any of my services to this type of extent. I do not have a history of this type of use never in all my life on earth. I am a truck driver I use to receive direct deposits to my accounts and am unable to do so because of my accounts being compromised. I am asking for help to look into these so you can see this was not my doing or behavior. These were over 3 different occasions the regular accounts department was able to find multiple devises logged into my account. This has changed my life drastically for me and my child not only this but my credit has been effected due to my accounts being compromised and my vehicle being stolen. I am asking for help in this matter. Please help me I am a victim of identity theft and it has effected my life please help me. My card has been cancelled due to this activity this is not fair especially i have provided proff along with detective information about when my vehicle was stolen aling with my belongings. They had credited my accounts and I had a total balance of $1500 before my vehicle was stolen with my belongings then because the person used my information in one of the stores they put all of the previous back onto my account. I am a victim of identity theft. I am asking for help because this has ruined my future for myself and my children. I have attached accounts as well as police report and theft repot.Business response

On May 27, 2023 I inquired about consolidating two personal loans on my Navy Federal account. The rude associate, *******, that assisted me was too eager to make commission I assume because she insisted I put in a new loan consolidation application, and explained she would not be able to assist me further without submitting the application. Desperate to get help, I allowed her too. During the phone call the disclosure that was supposed to read to me was cut off. I believe she ended the disclosure because she was eager to make commission and did not want me to understand my rights as a consumer. Furthermore, over the course of the phone call she never explained a hard pull would be pulled on my credit report. I wasn't aware of the hard pull until I received a notification from my credit monitoring service. ******* was never planning to make me aware. I want the hard pull for this loan application off of my credit. *******'s predatory lending practices forced me to put in an application in order to receive help but she never provided the proper and necessary disclosures.Business response
