Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer.

Im requesting removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days and more.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
There are two accounts and some inquiries on my report that after contacting the company and trying to get more information they were unable/refused to give me info to verify the account because whoever set up the account used information that I don't know outside of my personal information so they said i had to file a ftc report XXXX Not sure how its to protect me if I am telling them that I am me and i never set the accounts up. I have attached a copy of the Identity Theft report as well as copy of my ID. The accounts that are fraudulent are as follows : XXXX inquired on XX/XX/202XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquired on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX  inquired on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX  inquired on XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX XXXX  inquired on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XX/XX/202XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquired on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX  inquired on XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX XXXX and inquired XXXX XX/XX/2022 The only thing that makes sense is someone at the lending company misused my info because I was preapproved when i purchased my home so I never gave my info to have them to check for financing. When I called the lender they confirmed they never tried to run my credit because I had a preapproval that covered the cost of the home. With that being said, inquiry law that applies here is 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ) To credit reporting agency The inquiry was not authorized. Did not consent to unauthorized inquiry.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
I have tried to contact Experian to talk to a person using the following numbers. XXXX, XXXX and the machine says you can only talk to a person if you meet a certain criteria. Whatever that means, I have been trying to address the item on my report ID # XXXX. They said they sent me a result summary on XX/XX/2022 I found that summary and it says XXXX does they're public records. The problem is I opt out of XXXX on XX/XX/2022 because i never consented to anyone putting out unverified information on me. And since the XXXX court doesn't report to the bureaus I have to assume unverified information on me was sold. But the fact remains I opt out of XXXX on XX/XX/2022 but Experian claims they verified this information in XXXX. How, I attached a copy of the confirmation letter.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: DC
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

Complaint:
I rented a vehicle ( XXXXl ) from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX ( located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX using the self check in method online. The amount of the charge is mostly based on the amount of miles driven. I returned the vehicle the same day after driving it about XXXX miles. The merchant, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, did not check the miles until the next day, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, and claimed that I drove the vehicle XXXX miles. They charged me {$400.00} instead of {$120.00}. They overcharged me by {$270.00}. They charged me more than three times what they should have. They sent a " contract '' that does not contain my signature with this {$400.00} amount via email on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX. 

I immediately disputed the purchase amount with my credit card company, Capital One. They did a credit adjustment for the disputed amount of {$270.00} on XX/XX/XXXX since this amount was in dispute. Capital One said that they would contact the merchant for further information. 

However, on XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One charged the {$270.00} back to my credit card account. I called them on XX/XX/XXXX asking why did this. They claimed that I needed to provide more evidence. On XX/XX/XXXX, I faxed them documentation including documentation from my XXXX Timeline that showed where I was on XX/XX/XXXX and a receipt from XXXX XXXX ( a grocery store located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX , DC XXXX ) from XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX  showing that I was not at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at the time that they checked the truck 's miles on XX/XX/XXXX. I also sent the email in which XXXX XXXX sent me the receipt. 

When I called Capital One on XX/XX/XXXX, they confirmed that they received the documents. I further explained my case. They refused to credit the disputed amount from the credit card account saying that it is " part of the process '' and that I should hear back from them within the next 7 to 10 business days, which would be after the credit card due date of XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint:
I have asked for the credit bureaus to reinvestigate the reporting of this account. I sent letters to them on the dates : XX/XX/2018, XX/XX/2018 and XX/XX/2018 but the account was not investigated properly. 

Equifax is not providing complete information and the monthly payment and limit. There are also multiple 120-day late payment in the payment history which are wrong.

XXXX failed to include the monthly payment and limit. The payment history shows multiple CO marks which are inaccurate. Why do they report this as collection/charge off when Equifax reports this as Late 120-day? Clearly, this shows inaccuracies.

XXXX also missed reporting the monthly payment, credit limit and payment history.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
I took out a student loan with Corner stone loan, before they switched to fed loan servicing I had called to set up payments and they told me that there was no balance on my account. At the same time I took out a loan my mom took out a parent loan and her loan amount showed up. But my loan was gone, she said it didn't show any amount no trace or a loan. I talked to her and further on a manager because I figured it was weird that a loan would just disappear. I have finally got a hold of fed loan servicing after seeing the {$4000.00} loan recently on my XXXX XXXX. I asked the corner stone loan employees and managers multiple times, and they couldn't even tell me what happened but that there was no loan in my name. It also never showed me that I had a loan on my XXXX XXXX app till now, although I do know that anytime you have a loan it shows up. Now that I am communicating with fed loan servers, they do not know what is going on, and will not assist in anyway. I understand I took out the loan but corner stone loan company made a mistake on their behalf, and now they just want me to go back to paying it. When I called to try to pay it off before, but somehow there was no loan no nothing. I am sending this email because the fed loan server a manger whom I talked to said this is the only option I have left. Thank you

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
My loan was transferred from being provided by XXXX XXXX back to Discover onXX/XX/XXXX. 

My recurring auto-payment amount was changed without notification. 

I was unable to alter this on the Discover website ( as I had been with XXXX XXXX ). After calling to alter the amount ( which was a slow, unclear and laborious process ) I managed to change it back onXX/XX/XXXX. 

I checked back to discover website on XX/XX/XXXX to find that my auto-payment amount had been changed again without notification. 

I am really frustrated by how difficult and unhelpful Discover have been to deal with.
