Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
I applied for a Capital One Secured card in XXXX and paid them a deposit to add to the account. I was XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX at the time and preparing to move residences. I had a hold mail request that was to have all mail held by the USPS carrier, but once I was released from the hospital the mail was not available at the local post office. I have a claim with USPS, and they ended up forwarding mail to my new address as of this week. I tried speaking with customer service people with Capital One multiple times to not only cancel the original card but also issue a new one to me at my new address.

As part of this process, Capital One requires a ridiculous amount of Identity checks to resolve the issue. When calling Capital One it takes at least 30 to 60 minutes of hold time to simply get a human being to work through the issue. I worked with two different representatives who had me utilize a link to upload a copy of my State-issued ID. I did this in real time, but for whatever reason they would not confirm me. Their automated system makes decisions and would not recognize me. What's crazy is I then escalated and simply wanted my money back to only be told it will take up to 90 days. 

How can it take 90 days when I sent it in an instant and why can't Capital One simply figure out the issues? The customer service representatives are in a XXXX or other call center and simply are not equipped to handle this issue. I can not deal with this with my health and just want my money back at least. I tried to escalate with supervisors and management, but these people just don't care and refuse to work through the issue. I regret even giving them my money at this point. I can't even get a call back from this company. 

This is what's wrong with XXXX. A lack of proper controls and customer service. It is considered theft when a company has these sorts of ridiculous practices.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection
Sub-issue: Problem with fraud alerts

Complaint:
I do n't know what is going on but Equifax put a fraud alert on my report a long time ago, and I just found out that the reason I ca n't get credit limit increases or open any credit accounts is because of this. They 've done this to me before without me requesting it, and I had to go through so much trouble verifying my identity. They seem to place fraud alerts whenever I 've disputed inaccuracies on my report. Now I ca n't even view my report because they are saying I am answering the security questions wrong! Now, here 's the real issue : Equifax lets me get hit with hard inquiries but does n't provide verifiable information to creditors in order for them to approve me for anything! So my report has been pulled numerous times but not a single inquiry has even resulted in a clear approval or denial of credit! I have no idea how long this has been going on, but it is unfair that my score has dropped as a result of inquiries when the companies pulling have no way of getting my information!!! I DO NOT want to photocopy my ID, etc, and do all this mail-in nonsense with Equifax again! I did not request a fraud alert! A while back I disputed hard pulls because a company I applied for a loan with sent out my application to tons of banks without me knowing. If that 's the reason for the fraud alert a simple freeze would have sufficed. I ca n't even add my phone number to my report so creditors can " verify '' my identity.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
While checking report today, I saw that there was a derogatory condition for collections on my credit report and I started to get details from my bank and finally got to speak to the debt collector named I C SYSTEM INC. When I called them to inquire about the reporting condition, I was told that its a medical bill from my doctors visit on XX/XX/XXXX, I asked them if they tried calling me or send any mail. The lady over the phone was skeptical to give those details, she put call on hold 3-4 times and she stated that they sent a mail in XX/XX/XXXX, she initially mentioned that the mail got back to them. I have no recollection about the letter for collections being sent to my home address. 
The lady also told me after further investigation from her end that they tried calling me twice, but they did not leave any voicemails, everything seems sketchy to me. I feel that I am a victim of I C SYSTEM Inc 's negligence and lack of responsibility in collecting the right way and they just reported my credit stating I am not responding or paying the amount ( {$91.00} ). I have asked them to mail me the statement or charges from the doctors office, for which the lady said she doesnot have it and she has to request it. I dont understand how they can collect when they dont have details of collection. 

I have made the payment today to get out of the situation.

According to Section 602 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681, " there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting organizations execute their grave duties with fairness, impartiality, and a regard for the customer 's right to privacy. '' I am the Consumer, and XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting companies. 15 USC 6801 states that " it is the intention of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuous commitment to respect the privacy of its customers and to maintain the security and confidentiality of those customers ' nonpublic personal information.
