My credit report continues to be wrong and is not correct. I have required and disputed many things and nothing is done and my credit score went down over 140 points because of the inquiries. I have spoken to managers and nothing is done. I have spoken to them and yet, nothing has changed. Even their own records show proof that there were no late payments but Ive still gotten more negative markings to my accounts that must be corrected on my reports.Business response

In December 2023, I tried to activate My debit card from AACU. It would not work over the phone, so I called an agent and was told that my account was deactivated due to fraudulent activities. I was confused because I had never used this account before and had no idea what activity was on my account. The agent told me that two checks had been written and cashed from this account. I told the agent that I never ordered any checkbooks nor have I written any checks, as I have never used this account before. The agent looked in the system and recognize there was forgery on the checks and that the signatures did not match my own on file. He said he would send this information to the **************** to investigate. I never heard anything back. January 2024 I reached out to ask about the investigation and was told that it was declined because too much time had passed between the charges and the request to investigate. They told me that I am responsible for the nearly $500 that was stolen out of my account, even though they have proof that it was not me that did it but indeed fraudulent activities.Business response

I purchased tickets for the Acropolis for 1/5 online in the morning. I provided my email address since they were electronic tickets, but I never received any email with the tickets. I tried calling the Acropolis ticket office but nobody answered. Then I went to the actual ticketing office at the entrance of the Acropolis and requested my tickets to be reprinted since I never received the email with them. They told me that without the email there was no way for them to find them, not even with my credit card number. I was forced to buy two new tickets on the spot in order to gain access. I would like to add that they also overcharged me for this charge that I am disputing. At the ticketing office it only costed me 10 euros per ticket, but what they charged me on the transaction that I am disputing is way over 20 euros total. I am attaching a picture of the two tickets I was forced to buy at the ticketing office. I disputed the charge with the credit union. I submitted picture of the two extra tickets I had to buy and they closed met dispute saying that they received information from the merchant. They did not provide me any documentation of what they received from the merchant. I explained that I never received the services I purchased but they still closed my dispute. Today 3/25 I received the dispute denial letter, with the "evidence" that the merchant sent. First they claim the transaction was face to face, which is a lie since I purchased the tickets online. Second, they send a picture of a credit card purchase slip with a signature which is NOT mine, it is a forged signature. I contacted **** who is the one that manages disputes multiple times afterwards but they refused to help me. I called American Airlines Credit Union and they kept transferring me to PSCU. I am attaching picture of the two extra tickets I was forced to buy in order to gain access to their attraction.Business response

My account was hacked. The bank maintains I gave a third party a code, sent to my phone, to access my account. I asked for a record of this accusation. They said I would need a subpoena. They also maintain I gave a third party my login and password. When they asked if I gave anyone access to my account, I was distraught, and told them yes. Of course I was referring to my routing and account number. However they never allowed me to record my statement. They also belittled and patronized me for sending money to a third party. They did not protect my interest, my account or my family. My account has been restricted to cash only transactions. I could close the account, however a 7 yr account is imperative to building my credit. However with 6 children it is imperative that I have access to transfer money within my family. American Airlines Credit Union cared nothing of this. Their fraud department consist of three people. I asked for their credentials that constitute the experience and education that allow them to be considered,"fraud experts". No credentials were provided. These individuals were unprofessional bully's with a lack of emotional intelligence. I am requesting the restrictions on my account be lifted. I am a good customer. I have never filed a complaint, bounced a check,or defaulted on any loans or payments.Business response
