State: AR
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding the multiple unsuccessful attempts to correct late open accounts on my credit report. Despite my persistent efforts, these inaccuracies remain unresolved, causing significant distress and financial consequences. I first initiated disputes regarding these late open accounts. Since then, I have consistently reported these inaccuracies to your agency and provided the necessary documentation to support my claims, such as proof of timely payments and account closure records. Despite multiple disputes and my repeated efforts, these late open accounts have not been corrected. The continued presence of these inaccuracies on my credit report has had detrimental effects on my credit score, financial stability, and overall well-being. I am unable to secure loans, obtain favorable interest rates, or access various financial opportunities due to these errors. I kindly request the following actions be taken promptly : A comprehensive and thorough review of my credit report to verify the accuracy of the late open accounts in question. An investigation into the origins and validity of these accounts, including the verification of my claims regarding the correct opening and closure dates. Immediate correction and removal of these late open accounts from my credit report if they are found to be inaccurate. An explanation for the prolonged delay in resolving these disputes and the steps being taken to expedite the correction process. Written confirmation of the actions taken to rectify these inaccuracies and a specific timeline for their completion. I am fully aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies promptly investigate and correct inaccurate information on consumers ' credit reports. I expect that your agency will adhere to these federal regulations and work diligently to resolve these matters to my satisfaction. I am asking for your assistance to correct the late open accounts in my credit file : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
their is a collection on my report from XXXX XXXX stating I owe an XXXX bill. I mailed them directly disputing this in which they never responded and never reported the account being in dispute. The letter stated I received your communication/attempt to collect the above-listed alleged debt within 30 days ago. Please be advised that I hereby dispute the validity of the above-listed alleged debt in its entirety. I request verification/validation of the alleged debt and specifically request a copy of a contract or agreement signed by the alleged original creditor and all parties to any such contract provided. Note : a billing statement, notice, or any unsigned document is not verification of the alleged debt. You are on notice that you are unlawfully attempting to collect the above-listed alleged debt. Cease & desist all collection activity, including reporting to consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ). Providing me the specific verification documents above shall not be deemed collection activity. Further, I request that you promptly delete any and all prior consumer reporting made to any CRAs. If you comply with my cease collection & deletion request, then you are excused from verification. If you opt to provide verification, also provide proof of the chain of title of ownership of the debt. If the alleged debt was acquired by a debt buyer, then proof of chain of title of the alleged debt must be from the alleged original creditor to the current alleged owner without any break in chain. This letter is evidence that may be provided to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). The CFPB is authorized to fully investigate this matter and receive any information related thereto. Be advised, if you fail to comply with this letter, I may turn the matter over to a consumer attorney.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
Received an approval letter on XX/XX/XXXX stating to pay XXXX $ to open a secured credit card account. 

I called and inquired and the rep stated if I wanted to make more deposits I could and they would add an additional {$100.00} to the deposit. 

I finally was ready to roll on XX/XX/XXXX, I called Capital 3 times to ensure that if I made a deposit of XXXX $ i would receive {$590.00} $ and the rep stated yes, so on XX/XX/XXXX I made the {$490.00} deposit and sat back and waited. My bank settled the transaction on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX Eastern time. 
I contacted Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX to see when my Card would be sent only for the rep to tell me that my account was denied. 

I asked when was it denied, she stated on XX/XX/XXXX, I received no emails or letters stating i was denied or that i would have my {$490.00} returned back and the date of that return. The rep stated it would take 45 days to be placed back into my account and that is unfair. 

I called again this am 4 different times for them to tell me the same thing. I feel that this was an unjust denial as the card was offered to me by XXXX and XXXX XXXX for those with credit not so good-my score is XXXX and this card fit what i could get approved for. 

i in fact was approved and as soon as i made that deposit on XXXX, they denied me for some strange reason on XXXX I would like assistance with retrieving my funds back and to also report in my opinion, blatant racism. 

I will be sending out several reviews so that others will not find themselves in the same situation. 

Since then, i have been approved for 2 other credit cards and i have no issues with these cards. I am happy to continue to increase my score with them. Please help me with this as its not fair that i have to wait 45 days for my monies back. 

I just want my monies back and to find out specifically why i was approved and as soon as i sent the money i was denied. 

Thank you kindly for your assistance.

Complaint:
I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CT
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:
I opened a secured credit card account with Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX, with an annual membership fee of {$29.00}. I was never informed by Capital One or any of its representatives that Capital One had a {$0.00} annual fee secured credit card offer. Recently, while online I discovered this information. I called Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX, twice. The first representative said he wrote out a complaint for me concerning this. When I got off the phone I realized that I didn't ask the rep. how long it would take for me to get a response to this complaint. When I called the second time I spoke to a different rep. and I asked for reimbursement for the annual fees I paid, during the time other members paid nothing. She told me that the {$29.00} annual fee was the agreement I made with Capital One. If I would like to, I can open a new secured credit card account for the No Annual Fee Secured Credit Card. She refused to put in a request for an offer of reimbursement. I believe it is unfair that Capital One withheld this information from me. It is unfair that I was charged for the same service that others were not charged for. I believe Capital One is a dishonest company.
