Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter to the courthouse asking if they report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus. I got a letter stating : " They do not provide information to the credit reporting agencies or bureaus. '' So if that's the case, how did the credit bureaus verify an alleged bankruptcy as 100 % Accurate. They never did a fair investigation according to the 15 USC 1681.

15 USC 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) states : The term " investigative consumer report '' means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumer 's character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumer 's credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.

They also violated my rights numerous times.

The credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 USC 1681.

According to 15 USC 1681 section 602 A states : I have the right to privacy.

According to 15 USC 1681 section 604 A Section 2 states : A consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

According to 15 USC 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) states : 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.

Sub-issue: Unable to open an account

Complaint:
I received an offer in the mail along with a change of address I submitted with XXXX. It came from citizens bank asking me to open a checking and savings account with a promotion. I went to the website and put in all my private information as requested. I was surprised that I was denied with no proper explanation. i have never been rejected for a checking and savings account. I gave this company my private information in exchange for an account as they offered me just to receive nothing in return. As a consumer if i am offered something in exchange for my private information i expect to receive it. This seems like a tactic to collect people private information without giving anything in return. This is predatory because i know that there is no reeason for me to get refused.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
Capital One took over all XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX cards, due to postal issues ( which were communicated to me by XXXX at Capital One ) I was never informed of this change and never received a Statement nor change agreement. However, I received the new card in XXXX, which is how I knew of the change. In XXXX of XXXX, I used the card for XXXX. From that point, the same postal issue that Capital One already knows about and communicated to me prevented me from receiving any mailed statement. In conjunction with this Capital One sends an email communication to advise you that your payment is late. The problem here is if you already have a capital one profile they do not link the new XXXX  Accounts, so when you use the link nothing shows up but your old Cards with Capital One, so it's essentially a dead link. When I tried to communicate this to first XXXX, then XXXX, and finally XXXX, all they could do was refund me the {$29.00} fee but not the {$40.00} fee. Informing me that that there is nothing they can do, XXXX even advised me that they were aware that there were postal issues preventing me from receiving statements but as she stated " It wasn't Capital One 's Problem '' This quite frankly is a deceptive and unfair practice and I just wanted to report it so others who may not know of any proper recourse don't experience this unfair practice by Capital One. Not to mention I'm sure I can use my {$40.00} far more than Capital One.
