Complaint:
Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 - Congressional findings and statement of purpose : ( a ) Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting The Congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

CapitalOne Violated my rights as a protected consumer. They have done this by providing inaccurate information to the credit reporting agencies. In the past I have disputed this with the bureaus and they again have deliberately reported inaccurate information. The High balance, Date of last activity, date reported, date opened last payment all vary between the three Bureaus : XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. They are also reporting that this account is closed. Being that the account is closed, per law, there shouldn't be a past due amount as past due amounts are only applicable to open accounts.

Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate.

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services.

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA.

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report.

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes.

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus

Complaint:
Capital One is reporting inaccurately on my credit report and not following the Federal Trade Commission 's rules. Looking to purchase my first home, I opened a secured credit card with Capital One in XX/XX/2021 in hopes of increasing my credit score-but the opposite has happened with me being swindled by Capital One. I deposited {$1000.00} by bank transfer which was my credit limit. I made all payments on time and even paid the balance off, never missing a payment. Kept my utilization low, under 25 % for six months. Around XX/XX/2021, there was a purchase in the amount of {$580.00} that I did not authorize. I then immediately filed a dispute with Capital One. The dispute was supposed to end XX/XX/2021. Capital One kept my refund from my deposited monies as a permanent credit ( that no attorneys or creditors have ever heard of ), that cant be used due to the account being closed. Capital One has reported inaccurately on my credit report, such as a high credit balance and closed the account while there was an investigation going on. 
Capital One is reporting a high balance, paid satisfactorily. Which Capital One has admitted I have money that they are " holding '', over half of the deposit I sent and are keeping it ( for now, due to my attorney and I demanding my monies/ and / or going to court ). The balance can not be high if there is a credit! That is factual that {$580.00} of {$1000.00} is not spent! 
I have never written into the CFPB about this matter, only about Capital One keeping my money. I just want to make sure this is all documented.
