I have an items passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX Citibank closed my savings account with a balance of {$7200.00} due to not receiving a signature card ( which I had never received or told I needed to submit ). I only received a notice in the mail, even though I opted for all electronic notices. On XX/XX/XXXX I found out my savings account had been closed, and only realized this because I attempted to log into my account. I spoke with a customer service representative who told me that they did not know why my account had been closed and refused to help me further. I was told I should have received a check with the balance of my savings account ; however, this check never came. I have been in contact with Citibank since to receive this check, but they refuse to send it to me. I called XXXX times between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and was told that a check was sent to me each time. I called again in XX/XX/XXXX and was told that no one had ever sent a check to me and that they would not send me a check, I was told I would have to go to an in-person branch to receive the balance of my savings account. I contacted them again in XX/XX/XXXX and was told they would send me a check, and that it would arrive on XX/XX/XXXX. No check has arrived, and on XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter in the mail saying that the sending of my check was " under review ''. I have not heard anything since. There is not a Citibank branch in my area ( XXXX, TX XXXX and they are asking me to travel in the middle of a pandemic and can not guarantee that if I do travel to a Citibank branch that I will be able to receive my check there either. I just want the balance of my savings account so I can invest it elsewhere. They also told me that there was no way for them to see if the " initial check '' had arrived and been cashed, which I know is false as I have worked as an accountant and have many family members who are XXXX.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint:
My Capital One card I opened is a XXXX XXXX card, which promises 3 % back at Entertainment venues such as theme and amusement parks, bowling allies, movie theaters, etc. I specifically opened this card with the premise of going to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX, in XXXX Florida. There all are attractions that should fit the perpetrators of the card to receive 3 % cash back. 

When I returned I found that {$300.00} in charges were incorrectly given 1 % cash back. 

I called and filed an escalation to get the reward points I rightfully earned. The meat of my concern comes in when today XX/XX/XXXX when I received a phone call from Capital One indicating we were on a recorded line. The representative was named XXXX his rep ID was XXXX at XXXX central time. He called to inform the of 2 things. 

First, they would not be able to instate the rewards I had earned as they felt 1 % was correct. Secondly, he indicated that he would issue me a {$6.00} statement credit. I asked for a confirmation number, email, letter, or something to assure me that promised credit was valid. He informed me that he could not do anything but give me his word that he would issue a {$6.00} credit. I asked him if I could record the phone call. He came back and stated that company policy prohibits recording of the phone call. I acknowledged this and asked him for his rep name and ID as stated above. He assured me that they typically do not honor requests of credits and that this was a one time courtesy. He said that the credit would appear on my account in 1-2 business days. 

I called back later this same day to make sure the memos were on the account as the recorded phone call went down, and the next supervisor was unable to corroborate what went down. I was livid. This was the entire reason I asked for proof. I felt something was off and that although on the recorded line he promised me a {$6.00} account credit, I felt he wasn't going to honor it. 

I asked the manager, XXXX rep ID XXXX, to pull the recorded phone call. She said that she could not pull the phone call and he could not honor the credits he had promised. Capital One refused to honor the credits agreed upon on a recorded line. Capital One refused to pull that call to verify the facts. The benefit of a recording is you don't have to believe either side, you have the recording of the facts. 

I want Capital One to pull the outbound phone call to me by XXXX. Here not only where he said they would not give me the rewards balance, but here where he said they would be issuing me a credit of {$6.00}. Here where he said it would be posted to my account. Here where I asked for any form of confirmation that it would be posted to my account.

Complaint:
XXXX has placed 5 accounts with different balances with account numbers XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX & XXXX. I never gave them any permission to open 5 accounts under my name. These accounts are duplicates and are fraudulent. They also reported them to my credit showing XX/XX/XXXXXXXX dollars in debt. I was on vacation at this resort, but I did not engage in opening 5 accounts with them. The salesperson gave me some free gifts and told me to think about it. Later that day I told him I do not want any membership or credit accounts. I later found out that the representative opened 5 accounts under my name. I called the company to dispute the accounts which they said where under investigation. I also checked and called the salesperson to find out he was fired. The company told me they can help reduce the monthly fees but will not cancel. This is fraud. I did not open these accounts, and under these conditions I have been scammed. This company needs to be investigated and prosecuted for scamming people. I've also requested multiple times for verification of this account but the creditor has refused to provide any information. Ive sent out demands to have this account verified on dates XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and Ive had no responses. Ive sent out requests to Experian as well into the original creditor. This willful neglect has not only caused much financial hardship, but is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I need help in this situation because I can not refinance many loans I have or obtain new lines of credit.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
On 08/10/23, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint 
with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. 
Court, (CD California 2014); you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by 
recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged 
in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of 
discharged accounts.
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof 
of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or 
another instrument bearing my signature.
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT 
COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, 
COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14, 1995), 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 
100% accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is 
completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.
