Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MA
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:
I transferred two balances from credits cards to Capital One in XX/XX/2018 with a promo rate of 0 %. The transfer was done on the Capital One site through the balance transfer portal but the credit card statement shows them as a purchase. Two statements later, I noticed interest was being charged. I called Capital One and the rep said the system processed the balance transfer as a purchase, it was a mistake and it would be fixed. I called back a week later when another interest amount was posted to my credit card account. I spoke to a rep, re-explained the situation and she agreed the interest was charged in error. She connected me to another rep who attempted to explain that there was no 0 % offer in place at the time I made the transfer and that the interest charges would stand and I would be responsible for them. I was charged several hundred dollars in interest. I have transferred many balances over the years and would never transfer to something that was not 0 %. Additionally, the first two reps I spoke with told me that their system made a mistake and I was charged interest in error.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called in and the rep advised that I can make a payment of {$42.00} by XX/XX/XXXX to avoid being reported late to the credit bureau. THE REP DID NOT SPECIFY A CUT OFF TIME!!!

I logged in just as she advised and made my payment on the XXXX! I have spoken to XXXX at the Executive offices of XXXX and the company has acknowledged that I was not given a cut off time, however, they are not honoring this.

Sub-issue: Seized or attempted to seize your property

Complaint:
Recently I logged into my Bank of America portal and I noticed a charge on two separate accounts. One account is business checking account and {$1200.00} was debited on XX/XX/2018, and another account is personal family joint checking account and {$2200.00} was debited on the same date XX/XX/2018. These transactions were initiated by the bank by utilizing what they call " Setting OFF '' I never heard of this before, but after doing some research it seams that it is legal. However, my business was not doing well due to not being able to get insurance coverage because my drivers got into too many accidents in one year. This had put a screeching hault into my operations. In addition I was in the midst of my divorce and was not able to put 100 % of my time and my mind into running the day to day operations. I was trying to stay afloat, and pay for things that needed immediate attention like vehicle leases, insurance, workers comp. employee salary, as well as roof over my head and food. As you can imagine my surprise when I saw money being withdrawn without my authorization. One of the accounts, the family joint checking account from where {$2400.00} was taken out, is an account which is shared with my brother, and most of that money is not mine to give! I am shocked and in distress because of this. I have been on XXXX for the last 3 months because of my divorce and other issues, and to have this fall on top of my head out of the blue without any formal notice is making me XXXX XXXX. I spoke to Bank of America and told the agent that my XXXX XXXX is up and that this is not the right way to handle this situation. After all, I could have a XXXX XXXX and XXXX. From whom they will get their money then? I asked her if it would be possible to take {$1200.00} for now and give me a chance to catch up to the rest. She had no good reply. I dont know what to do. This is just very XXXX. I am ready to simply give up. Please let me know if you have any answers or solutions fast. Thank you kindly.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX and Experian listed a charged off account from XXXX XXXX on my credit report the end of last year, XXXX. I disputed the information and asked for them to send proof that I indeed did own the account. They couldn't provide me with the information therefore they deleted it from my account in XXXX of XXXX due to no findings or proof. Then, in XX/XX/XXXX the account reappeared back onto my credit report and when I filed a dispute now they're saying the account is valid but sent no proof of showing their findings, just that it's valid. The inconsistency of their reporting shows how it can not be trusted. I ask that XXXX and Experian delete the XXXX XXXX charge off from my account immediately if they can not provide me with a contract or proof that I own the account.

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

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed inquiries that are on my credit report for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX from Credit Plus. 
Credit Pluss response follows : Thank you so much for contacting Credit Plus. We are reaching out to the mortgage company, XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide Permissible Purpose per Fair Credit Reporting Act Standards for making the credit inquiry, and will be sending all correspondence to you via postal mail Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) defines the term " permissible purpose '' is defined as a reason that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report to any person or organization. Unless the purpose for furnishing the report is listed as a permissible purpose, it can not be provided without the individual consumers express consent. 

B. Users Must Provide Certifications Section 604 ( f ) prohibits any person from obtaining a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency ( CRA ) unless the person has certified to the CRA the permissible purpose ( s ) for which the report is being obtained and certifies that the report will not be used for any other purpose. 

Reiterating : unless the person has certified to the CRA the permissible purpose ( s )  for which the report is being obtained B. Users Must Provide Certifications Section 604 ( f ) prohibits any person from obtaining a consumer report from a consumer reporting agency ( CRA ) unless the person has certified to the CRA the permissible purpose ( s ) for which the report is being obtained and certifies that the report will not be used for any other purpose.

My questions ; Is Credit Plus claiming to be a Consumer Reporting Agency? 
WHY DOESNT CREDIT PLUS HAVE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION? 

Here is the problem and a potentially big one. Why would Credit Plus need to reach out to XXXX XXXX XXXX for copies of A PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE document ( written/signed authorization from me )? 
Credit Plus claims they followed the law under 15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports. But under that law it states very clearly for the extension of credit, they must have my written permission. 
" in accordance with your written instructions '' It seems Credit Plus has a policy that is reckless and violates the FCRA. Upon speaking with a Credit Plus supervisor " XXXX '' admitted they provide individual credit reports to creditors on a good faith bases. That is insane particularly in todays world. It means that any business employee can contact Credit Plus for any individuals credit report. 

Remove the inquiries from my credit report immediately by Monday XX/XX/XXXX

Barclays Bank US reported an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report on XX/XX/2020. I did not authorize this inquiry from this company, but the inquiry shows up on my XXXX Credit Report. I have contacted this company regarding this issue and they told me to contact the bureau and create a dispute with the credit bureau.

Furthermore, I have contacted XXXX and they told me that there was not a formal dispute process for disputing inquiries off of credit files. They have further told me that their process was that they send out a notification to the creditors to have them remove it. XXXX have done that three different times, and nothing happened, and the unauthorized inquiries still remains on my XXXX  report. I am very disgruntled regarding this matter and my next steps is to file a small claims lawsuit with the courts if this matter is not resolved immediately.
