Complaint:
Prior to the COVID - 19 pandemic I scheduled and paid for a vacation XXXX XXXX cruise ) for the year XXXX using my Capital One credit card. I paid the card off in full for the trip. Unfortunately, due to the COVID XXXX pandemic the trip had to be cancelled. The cruise line did reimburse my Capital One XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card. Since I already had paid the trip off on the credit card it left me with a credit owed to me. I rescheduled another trip ( resort in XXXX XXXX in the year XX/XX/XXXX but once again the trip had to be cancelled due to COVID. My credit card had been reimbursed from the resort and again I had a credit owed to me. In the meantime, I was using the credit card for small purchases which brought the credit owed back to me down to {$700.00}. I noticed on my statement that the credit was no longer there. I reached out to Capital One customer service and the representative that I spoke with explained to me that the system automatically generates a check out to the consumer. I explained to her that I never received a check. After a brief hold the rep. checked the status of the check and saw that it had not been cashed and said that they had to put a stop payment on that check and then they would issue another check. She said it would take about 15days. I waited, but again, still no check. I called back and explained the situation again and they did the same process, put a stop payment on the first check and sent out another one. Still no check. I called back and spoke with a Supervisor. After looking into the matter the Supervisor said they would credit the money via ACH of the {$700.00} to my bank account and that they first had to put a stop payment on the second check and would issue the funds into my account ( via ACH ). It would take approx 5 days. About 10 days ( give or take ) later still no funds. I again called Capital One and asked to speak to a Supervisor again XXXX XXXX XXXX and she too said that she doesn't know why they haven't returned the money back to me but that they would issue the ACH funds back to my bank. I still have not received the funds. This has been going on since approximately XX/XX/XXXX to present XXXX XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ). I am at my wits end. This can not be right that Capital One can just keep my money. Please help!!!

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
It is Equifaxs duty according to the FCRA to report correct and accurate information on my credit report and file. They are not. Equifax is reporting an inaccurate late payment for the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX. This is a 30-day late payment posted on XX/XX/2022. This is incorrect and is required to be reported as PAID AS AGREED. 
Also, in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a consumer report does not contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. A late payment constitutes a transaction. Reporting the inaccurate late payment results in XXXX violating my federally protected consumer rights. 
Additionally, I did not give Equifax written permission to furnish these inaccurate late payments on my consumer report and file, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). It is clear that Equifax has violated my federally protected consumer rights under the FCRA and the inaccurate reporting is causing me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX alleged account # XXXX XXXX XXXX alleged account # XXXX XXXX XXXX alleged account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account XXXX XXXX I sent a letter over XXXX addressing these alleged accounts. Reporting agency has not responded, provided any proof from companies reporting these alleged account ( FCRA 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies- ( XXXX ) Duty to provide notice of dispute If the completeness or accuracy of any information furnished by any person to any consumer reporting agency is disputed to such person by a consumer, the person may not furnish the information to any consumer reporting agency without notice that such information is disputed by the consumer ). They've furnished invalid erroneous accounts without 1st investigating. The FCRA is clear on its procedures and these agencies must be held accountable.

Under FDCPA 15 U.S. Code? 1692e.False or misleading representations- ( 8 ) They allowed this debt collector to violate my right.. I disputed these items inaccurate over 35 days ago and you havent notated is as disputed. Which cause me to lose out on housing due to reporting this inaccurate item and not notating it was disputed. 
The items above should all be removed from my consumer report under 15 USC 1681s-2 ( 3 ) and 15 USC 1692e ( 8 ) violations. 
They're supposed to add notice within 30 days not 1 day over as i have proof. As a consumer by law these accounts on this letter must be deleted immediately or I will seek monetary damages for violation of my rights in small claims court in my city and state under 15 USC 1681n civil liability because Ive been violated.

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Told you not to respond to a lawsuit they filed against you

Complaint:
The debt collection company, Commonwealth Financial Systems,  has managed to dupe XXXX  and XXXX  into posting a very old collection amount ( opened XXXX, XXXX -- {$1000.00} ) as if it was just opened. For the last 3 years ive lived in XXXX  and they are NOW showing the account as " opened in XXXX of XXXX ''. This account was started in XXXX. I would have had to have been in XXXX for such an account to be valid. It's already bad enough that consumers have to be treated as deliquent on debts that, if paid by an insurance company or medicaid, would have been discharged at 5 or 10 percent of the actual bill. Think of the money we lose while trying to build credit, because we are stuck with the option of credit cards and loans with huge percentage rates directly related to open accounts of little or no substanence. There is also a second similar account of {$340.00}, for which they did the exact same thing.
