Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 There was a balance of approximately {$1900.00} on the Capital One bank Credit card that was issued to an account we opened. A negotiable instrument for the sum of {$2500.00} ( # XXXX ) was mailed to the company certified mail with specific instructions to adjust the account to XXXX as a debt discharge, and to leave the account open for future use. The letter mailed in also stated if this instrument was not to be accepted as a form of discharge the negotiable instrument was to be returned, but failure to return it will constitute acceptance of the instrument, for full settlement of the debt in its entirety. The consumer contract states that " Mailed payments received by us at any other location or payments in any other from may not be credited as of the day we received them ''.

I checked the account and I was informed the account was closed and the balance was still the same but my negotiable instrument/promise to pay was never returned [ See UCC 3-309 ( A ) ( 3 ) ]. This is also a violation of 15 United States Code title 1691 ( a ) ( 3 ).

When calling in I was informed by a manager the account was closed because of " contract problems with payment '' but the manager refused to elaborate further. 1 week later we receive a letter stating " We are closing this account because of activity on this or another account that is not consistent with our expectations for account usage and violations of the Capital One Customer Agreement. '' It also states " You are still responsible for paying, in full, any remaining account balance. You will continue to receive billing statements until any remaining balance reaches XXXX.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Complaint:
I've reached out to XXXX several times about the information they are reporting to the credit reporting agencies after I've disputed the accuracy of the information that the agencies are showing on my credit reports.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
This is not a duplicate complaint. There are multiple problems with one account that is being overlooked and mishandled consistently. 

I disputed the Department of Education XXXX account many times for violations of the FCRA to all three credit bureaus over the past year. Each time, The Department of Education XXXX has continued to inaccurately report Balance information to Experian XXXX and XXXX. 

The Reported Balance is {$7200.00} The Highest Balance Reported is {$5400.00}. Stating I have paid off -35 % of the debt. 

It should be PROPERLY reported as {$7200.00} IF that is my balance. I have been sent MANY different letters of what my real balance is and this company is reporting ANY Amount to my credit report is a violation of my consumer rights. XX/XX/2021 Department of Education XXXX reported an increase in debt of {$1800.00}. 

Each month that I have EVER made a payment, the balance never decreases because the US Department of Education XXXX does NOT know how to properly report information and be a qualified furnisher of information. 

The Entire account Being Reported by The Department of Education XXXX is inaccurate and is affect my personal credit report tremendously.

Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted.I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Furthermore, In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, please provide the names and business addresses of each individual with whom you verified the above, so that I may follow up. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. 

I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file litigation.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I am trying to refinance my home since the rates are so low, however, my credit score has disappeared from XXXX  and Equifax. According to XXXX, it is at XXXX but the other two have shown it as frozen or non-existent. I paid XXXX  have the scores revealed there, but they are at 0. The only thing we can think of is that when we let the bank know that my mom passed away on XX/XX/2020, something must have also happened to my credit score by XXXX, as that was when I was unable to get my FICO score in my mortgage app. She helped me create a bank account and establish a credit score when I was 18 under her own account. I've tried everything from creating accounts on the credit bureau websites, unfreezing my score, calling customer service, visiting my bank, etc. but nothing has helped me to find what happened to my score. I am still paying my mortgage, I've always paid my credit cards in full and have no delinquent payments. PLEASE help me find out what happened to my score and how I can get it back. Thank you.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: PA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
Hello, I'm XXXX, a loyal Wells Fargo customer since 2017. I recently had an unfortunate experience when I called XXXX and spoke with XXXX, employee # XXXX. Right from the start, XXXX 's tone was negative, and he didn't greet me with his name, which is different from the usual Wells Fargo representatives. His behavior was rude, unprofessional, and he spoke over me, even raising his voice. I felt attacked, confused, and small after our conversation. 

The experience was so distressing that I had to take anxiety medication afterward. I even reached out to my white colleagues to ask if such behavior is typical in their interactions. As a woman of XXXX, I felt degraded. 

I believe XXXX 's conduct goes against the principles of respect outlined in the FCRA act. I was calling to resolve a debt, but after this encounter, I am reconsidering my association with Wells Fargo. I won't be making any more payments to the bank and will share my experience on social media to bring attention to how poorly XXXX treated me. I'm particularly concerned about the possibility that others, especially people of XXXX, might be treated similarly. 

I find it disheartening that such a situation occurred, and I recommend everyone to consider alternative banking options, such as TD Bank. I had never encountered anything like this before. When I informed XXXX that I was recording the conversation, he stated he didn't care, so I believe I have the right to share it with my XXXX followers on XXXX and XXXX on XXXX. This incident may gain attention, and it's essential for Wells Fargo to address it promptly. I was informed that this bank address is wells fargo bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX

Experian is reporting 3 inquiries on my credit report. I have never authorized it nor did the creditor have permissible purpose.

Ive contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and they could not validate that I authorize the inquiry. I have enclosed a correspondence that they mailed to my address stating the facts.

Complaint:
I was checking the rates I would get for credit cards and was instantly approved and issued a card. This makes my credit score weaker since I now have a lower average length of time with accounts opened. I don't understand why you can't just check w/o having a credit card issued. I did not and do not want that credit card or the negative impact it has made on my credit report.

My name and address was stolen off of the XXXX The State of New York website last XX/XX/2021. My name and address was being used to try to file additional claims.

At that point a red flag flew up and I stated absolutely not, you are not getting my social security number, as your bank just opened 3 accounts under my name and old address without it and I do not know of this bank or trust you. He then stated that it would be up to 30 for a fraud specialist to call me back. He also has my cell phone number now. He finally gave me a file number of PNC XXXX, after I became upset because these accounts would be open that entire time. He told me to go into a branch in XXXX XXXX XXXX to close them if I wish. That is 300 miles away from where I live, and I am petrified at this point that he and the PNC Bank are even legit.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my credit report and noticed a collection account from Automated Accounts Management Systems ( AAMS ). I sent a validation request on XX/XX/XXXX.
