I recently reviewed my credit report and discovered multiple inaccuracies regarding late payments reported on my account with ********************** EFCU (Account #**********). *** is reporting inaccurate late payment information on my consumer report. Experian incorrectly reports a 30-day late payment, TransUnion inaccurately reports three consecutive 30-day late payments for October, November, and December 2018, and Experian also incorrectly reports three consecutive 30-day late payments for November, December 2018, and January 2018. Additionally, ******* fails to reflect any payment history, which should instead show on-time payments. These errors violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) 623 (15 U.S.C. 1681s-2), which requires furnishers to ensure accuracy when reporting consumer data. I request immediate correction of these inaccuracies, the deletion of all incorrect late payment notations, and verification of compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b regarding periodic statement delivery. I have attached supporting documentation highlighting these errors and request resolution within 15 days.Business Response

I am submitting this complaint to formally request your assistance with resolving an issue I am experiencing with Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) regarding a retroactive loan payment increase that was applied without timely or adequate notice after force-placed insurance (Collateral Protection Insurance or CPI) was adjusted on my auto loan,On March 18, my monthly payment unexpectedly increased from around $615 to $747.31. I received no advance notice of this change. The only letter referencing the new amount was dated March 27 after the due date and it was DELIVERED AT POST OFFICE ON April 7, according to **** own ***************** a recorded phone call with ***, the representative:Confirmed the increase was applied to my March 18 payment.Admitted no prior notice was given.Could not provide any documentation showing that I had been properly notified in advance.Apologized and acknowledged that the letter had been sent far too late.The March 27 letter stated that my payment would increase on the next scheduled due date. That date should have been interpreted as April 18, not retroactively March 18 especially since the letter was mailed almost three weeks after that payment was already due.This failure to notify me in advance caused confusion, disrupted my finances, and placed me in a position where I could not reasonably comply with my loan **************** ************************ Transfer Act (EFTA): Requires at least 10 days notice if recurring payments will vary in amount.Georgia Fair Business Practices Act (FBPA): Prohibits unfair or deceptive practices such as applying charges without notice and then mailing a vague explanation afterward.Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing: While *** had the right to recover CPI charges, they had a legal duty to act fairly and communicate in good faith, which they did ******: I CANNOT ADD RECORDINGS BUT I WILL LIKE FOR SOME ONE TO LOOK OVER.Business Response

Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered.
To Whom It May Concern,
I am rejecting DCU's response because it does not address the core issue of my complaint:
I was not properly notified of the loan payment increase before it was applied to my March 18, 2025, due date.
The letter explaining the payment increase was dated March 27 and mailed on MARCH 27 well after the due date had passed. In a recorded call, a *** representative confirmed:
The increased amount was applied to my March 18 payment.
I had not been informed prior to that due date.
They could not provide any documentation showing advance notice.
This is a direct violation of federal consumer protection laws, including:
The *************** Transfer Act (EFTA), which requires 10 days notice before changing automatic payment amounts.
The Truth in Lending Act (TILA), which requires advance notice of changes in loan terms.
And potentially Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act, due to lack of transparency and unfair treatment.
My concern is not about owing the amount related to CPI it is about **** failure to notify me properly before adjusting my loan payment. This failure has affected my financial planning, caused unnecessary confusion, and damaged my trust in DCUs practices.
I respectfully request:
A formal written acknowledgment of the failure to notify me in advance.
A full refund of the $147.31 improperly applied to my March 18 payment without notice.
Removal of any negative marks or late fees caused by this mishandling.
If applicable, an internal review and policy correction to prevent this from happening to other members.
I am continuing to speak with legal counsel and will pursue further action if needed. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.
Sincerely,
Shakiris ******

I purchased a car for my son at a dealership in *********** two years ago. The bank loan is with DCU Federal Credit Union. I purchased *** during the transaction. The company is *** and the paperwork says we assigned it to ***. My son totaled his car. I reported it to the bank and they gave me the steps to follow. The car insurance sent the check for their part as a total loss check. They sent my son back is his payments from date of loss because we had gap. A year later I received a car loan payment saying I still owe 6000 on it. After visiting the bank they said it was not their responsibilty to file the claim that the dealership has paperwork on the gap. They are saying even if they were assigned the gap it was indirect and not their responsibility. A year ago this is not what they told me and that my gap would take care of it. Why wait a year to notify me? Now it is past the claim time. Why would the dealership who no longer owns the car be responsible for the claim? I received so many different answers that no one can help me with. I would like the loan resolved that the car insurance did not cover. They knew the car was a loss over a year ago. The communication is terrible. I did call the dealership and all they can help me with is that I purchased it and they assigned it to the bank with the loan paperwork. I also need staright answers so I can help other consumers in my situtaion.Business Response

Date: 03/24/2025
To Whom It May Concern,
We reviewed the complaint submitted by Sauvens ********* concerning his Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) **** credit card and Personal Loan.
We investigated this concern thoroughly and determined that Mr. ********* applied for a DCU **** Credit Card and Quick Loan on October 19, 2021. The applications were submitted securely through ************************** App behind his username and password, solidifying that he is responsible for the unpaid debt.
On October 25, 2021, Mr. ********* signed the Loan and Note Agreement for the Personal Loan and agreed to pay back the loan.
Since the Credit Card application process is electronic, we do not have a physical paper application with his signature. However, the written statement on the back of the DCU **** credit card he was issued and utilized states, By retaining this card, the holder agrees to all terms under which it was issued. Anyone who uses or authorized anyone else to use this card agrees to repay all charges incurred, according to the Credit Unions **** Agreement, including any future amendments made to it by the Credit Union. The utilization of this card consummated the expected repayment agreement of the loan.
A letter detailing the documentation to validate this debt was sent via Federal Express with Direct Signature Required on March 20, 2025, via tracking # ********************* was confirmed on March 24, 2025.
We consider this matter resolved.

I understand that you have indicated the reliance on electronic proof of the debt; however, I would like to reiterate my demand to have this account deleted & correction to my credit report. Your method of verification does not authenticate nor ensure any of the transactions made were by me. According to statistics, for four of the past five years, credit card fraud has been the most common type of identity theft in *******. Being that the credit card application was electronic & you dont possess a physical paper application with my signature as you stated in your response to my complaint, its impossible to say this debt belongs to me. If you guys looked at the payment summaries across all the different consumer reporting agencies youd see the past due dates are not the same. This violates my rights regardless for accuracy under the The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), codified at 15 U.S.C. **************************** initially, I demand for this to be removed from credit report.

I had filed a dispute with this credit union for a measly *****. Considering I've been a member since 2012, had paid off car loans and personal loans ...never late, I thought they would actually look into the dispute ..they did not. I was sent a pdf letter stating that a Ms. ****** denied the dispute based on the fact it was valid. Yes, I paid for a service ..however I never received it. I called their toll free number asking about this...they asked if I received the information from ****** on what the company sent...where she would state it was delivered when it wasn't. I did email her after hours and asked for the information that I still want from her. I've had another issue with ******* and had to come here through the bbb get it resolved as dcu couldn't care less. The fact you're treated as an individual trying to defraud this credit union is absurd. I will be closing my accounts and I'll take my 118K that I have at that credit union and put it into my other bank *********** as they do treat their customers so much better. I want the info you supposedly got from the merchant Rapidsend for the amount of ***** and I want to know if I can close my accounts by phone or online because I'm ******* the way, I'm attaching the email where they didn't send the service as they claimed the link didn't work so that it is on record that K ****** that works in disputes knows I know she never looked into this as she would have supplied what she got from them INITIALLY when she denied it like a normal credit union or bank would.Business Response

We reviewed the complaint submitted by ***** ***** ***** ******* concerning credit reporting.
We have thoroughly investigated this matter on several occasions and determined that Mr. ******** auto loan with Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) is being reported accurately. The late credit reporting for December 2023 is accurate. When Mr. ******* made his November 29, 2023 payment, he did not have sufficient funds in his account, and the payment was returned.
The option to use our free, self-service portal is available to all of our members and can be found at the top right corner of our homepage,***********. Anyone can use this option; you do not need to be logged into your account to utilize it. Regardless of how Mr. ******* makes his loan payments,he is responsible for timely payments. If the electronic option was no longer available to him and he was unaware of our free, self-service option, he could have mailed a check or paid in person at a local Shared Branch.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, we can only remove a credit inquiry if it resulted from a DCU error. Since we are legally obligated to accurately report Mr. ******** payment history, the late credit reporting cannot be removed.
We consider this matter resolved.
