incident

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'event' is the definition.
(incident is a kind of event)

'credit union losing our letters' is the wordplay.
'losing' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'letters' is an anagram indicator.
'credit'+'union'='creditunion'
'creditunion' with 'our' taken out is 'ceditnin'.
'ceditnin' anagrammed gives 'INCIDENT'.

'involving disorganised' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
