Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
This is in reference to : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Account ending in XXXX Balance due : {$4700.00} XXXX trust this message finds you well. I've been reviewing my credit report and came across some information that raised a few questions. In my exploration, I delved into the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically 15 USC 1681, section 602, which highlights the need for consumer reporting agencies to exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumers ' right to privacy.

As a consumer, I've been thinking about my rights and responsibilities in this context. According to 15 USC 6801, it is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and protect the security and confidentiality of their nonpublic personal information.

Digging deeper, I found 15 USC 1681, section 604, which outlines the circumstances under which a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report. It explicitly mentions that they can do so only in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I want to emphasize that I haven't given any written consent for the sharing of my information, and this concerns me. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) notes that a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a non-affiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how they can exercise the nondisclosure option. To my knowledge, I have not been informed of such an option.

I also stumbled upon 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), which states that no consumer reporting agency may make a consumer report containing adverse information without authorization. It appears that an adverse item is being reported without my permission, which, according to 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A, is against the law.

The Act further mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violations of the statute. Unfortunately, it seems that XXXX and Experian may not be following these guidelines, as indicated in 15 U.S. Code 1681e.

Lastly, I discovered in 12 CFR 1016.7 that a consumer has the right to opt out of reporting services at any time. I'm choosing to exercise that right.

I wanted to bring these specific sections of the Act to your attention and discuss how we can address these concerns. Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

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 have been disputing an account that is unlawfully on my consumer report with XXXX, XXXX and Experian. 

They have refuse to even acknowledge the issue with my request and continue to send me cookie cutter dispute responses that doesn't address the issue. 

The request was for a Child Support account to be removed as the name does not match my legal name ( My legal name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and they are reporting it on my account as XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and the account should be removed due to it not meeting FCRA requirements. 

I also disputed this with the child support agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and they have now closed this account due to their error yet the it still appears on my report. 

I am demanding this account be removed as it is inaccurate and effecting my creditworthiness and not allowing me to obtain much needed business credit to improve my families situation. 

Attached is a letter from them proving that this account is now closed and it clearly still shows my legal name being in error which is an FCRA violation and should be removed from report for good. 

I am ready to take legal action if the request remedy does not take place as this is a direction violation of my rights.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
This complaint is in regard to a Capital One Quicksilver credit card. 

I was locked out of the web portal for a year because the two step authentication insisted on sending access codes to an old phone number I no longer used.

So when I needed the card 10 months later I had to call and update my information to get a current card and access the we portal to keep track of things, I expected that but this is where it gets drawn out on their side.

It took 8 calls, with the 8th call being over an hour long for Capital One customer support to update my phone number. Which I had tried to previously do on prior calls. This is really my contention. It should not have taken two months and 8 calls to update my phone number.

Once I got the phone number updated I could log in online and update my address, which they would not do over the phone ( because they were once more verifying my uploaded ID pictures ). Then I could get the replacement card which they did to their credit expedite to me via XXXX, after two more calls of course.

Additionally Capital One would not provide me the phone number to C.F.P.B. I had to get your contact information from one of Capitol One 's competitors XXXX XXXX. That is the second contention. 

Capital One is attempting successful Fraud protection, which I appreciate but them referring me to a smartphone webpage to upload pictures via a cumbersome interface with incomprehensible symbols for interaction doesn't help. Then them locking you out after two attempts also doesn't help. The worst part is the representatives silence as you ask them how to use the darn id verification via smartphone provision. I had to upload my ID pictures 4 times. Yes the last set of pictures was the best and clearest but their ID check via smartphone needs a really good camera and equally good phone to use. I had to email pictures taken via XXXX camera.

Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX is pretending to be a law firm named XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are calling and threatening to sue and/or garnish wages. They are calling and harrassing myself and my family. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from an unknown number. Someone claiming to be XXXX XXXX at the mediation office of XXXX XXXX XXXX needed me to call them due to a breech of contract. I also receive texts and phone calls from family because these individuals called family members as well. I call them back and they tell me I owe {$730.00} for a payday loan with XXXX XXXX  or they are going to serve me court papers and garnish wages. I tell him I have already paid it and he stated that the company I paid is not in the chain of command and it would have to be paid again. He tells me XXXX XXXX XXXX is suing me on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX and I need to resolve the debt. I hang up and call Cash Central, they tell me they dont know who this company is and they did not sell the debt to them. I call back and a lady answers stating that XXXX XXXX owns the debt and I have to pay it again. She gives me a phone number for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I call the number and the guy tells me he doesn't care if I have paid the debt or if I have proof, XXXX XXXX XXXX are suing me for the debt. I call XXXX XXXX XXXX back and am told that for {$700.00} I will not be sued. The original loan was {$300.00}. They ask how much I can afford to pay right away so I said {$350.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and another {$350.00} XX/XX/XXXX. I ask the guy, XXXX, how do I know if this is going to be resolved because I paid it last year and now im having to pay again he said he would send me a payment agreement email, they couldn't send via mail. Later that night I read the email and it looks suspicious. So I check the California Secretary of state site to see if XXXX XXXX XXXX is an actual company and it doesnt exist. I XXXX   them and find nothing. I search for the address on the letter and its a virtual address, not real. I call them on XX/XX/XXXX, and ask who the attorneys are that own XXXX and XXXX. XXXX asks why I am needing this info. I then tell him I need to cancel my payment. He transfers me to " XXXX XXXX '' who threatens me and yells at me and tells me they verified my employment and are going to garnish my wages. 

This company contacted me about this last year using the same tactics. This is harrassment and I will be reporting them to the state attorney general for unauthorized practice of law.

Complaint:
Equifax falsely " verified '' that my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  has a balance. This is patently false and is perpetuating the reporting of inaccurate information on my report. I provided Equifax proof, but they are maintaining the " verified '' inaccurate information and " reinvestigating, '' when the furnisher is instead saying it is " up to the credit bureaus, '' so it is clear that Equifax is intentionally maintaining false data. I attempted to again submit the evidence of a XXXX balance, but Equifax does not seem to have the ability to fax in supporting documents, despite the cfpb online articles saying otherwise ( cfpb database of articles includes one expressly stating that Equifax maintains the ability to submit dispute documents by fax ). See attached evidence.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
My consumer rights are being violated with this inaccurate information! I have a right to be treated fairly by those who control it, so please provide me all available details on how they came up short in their responsibilities towards accuracy and compliance. I am officially challenging you to review your data on file for me! With the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) section 611 ( 15 U S C 1681I ) and Metro 2 compliance standards, I challenge all inaccuracies or deficiencies of reporting. The credit report I received was not accurate, which surprises me because you should be adhering to the FCRA and applicable Metro 2 data field formatting standards.

As a consumer, I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It is not complete and does not meet applicable standards because according to law you are required for both FCRAs as well as Metro 2 compliance which must be done truthfully with correct information being provided timely so that none of my rights are violated I am aware that you have been sending out form letters in response to many of the disputes and challenges that consumers have submitted, regardless of the specific information that they have provided. This is illegal, as each dispute and challenge must be addressed individually and on its own merits. My letters were created using software that is available to everyone. If you don't process my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i.

Keep in mind, you are not allowed to delay processing letters from consumers based on the assumption that help from a third party may be available. This is not a legal exception. I am the author of any letters you receive with my name on them. Either I or my advisors wrote them with my full knowledge and consent. I am aware that there is no law that says you need to provide a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing letters from a consumer. If you do not process my letters in a timely manner, I will consider it to be an intentional disregard of my rights as a consumer. I will then contact my lawyer to take legal action.
