Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of my credit report
Sub-issue: Report improperly shared by CRC

Complaint:
I called XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 to ask about packages and I specifically instructed the representative not to pull a credit report from any major bureau such as Equifax , XXXX, or XXXX. I found out the next day that a hard pull was done on Equifax. I filed a dispute with both XXXX and Equifax. Equifax says it was an authorized use of my credit report as far as they know. XXXX has a form that I filled out to dispute the inquiry and have not heard back from. On multiple calls with XXXX, nobody has been able to give me an answer as to the status of the investigation. In fact, I have had more than one person explain that a credit check is not necessary and that the representative should have asked for my permission before running a credit check.

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and I hope your day is going well. I 'm writing because I noticed that my most recent credit report contains late payments and it is showing an inaccurate balance on my Capital One Auto Finance account. 
I want you to know that I understand my financial obligations, and if it were n't for my job cutting my pay then I would have been able to make full payments instead of partial payments. I 'd have an excellent repayment record. I made a mistake in falling behind, but since then, I have received a pay raise and will be able to pay on time every month. I spoke with a lady representative during the week of XXXX XXXX and she stated that she was able to extend my loan and that she would call me back with all the details as of XXXX XXXX I have not heard from her and anyone in the Capital One office.

Complaint:
Experian, XXXX, and XXXX are allowing companies to have access to my consumer file. After applying for credit recently I was denied. Having received the Denial letter, it stated that I have accounts with newly reported lateness and derogatory accounts. I checked my consumer report and there are accounts reporting negatively that I do not have any affiliation with as well as one account that was never late but for some reason is being reported as late. 

XXXX Is being reported as late. I do not own this account and I do not have any affiliation with this company. 

XXXX Is being reported as closed and negative. Please remove XXXX XXXX being reported as closed and negative. Please remove XXXX XXXX being reported as closed and negative. Please remove XXXX is being reported as late, I was never late on this account. Please correct.

Product: Credit card
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint:
Capital One notified me of potential fraudulent activity on my account XXXX Note it was the XXXX time in a year there was fraudulent activity ). I confirmed the activity was fraudulent and was issued a new card. I was told I would not be responsible for the charges. Then 10 days later I get my bill and the charges have not been removed. I was informed it was because the charges were still pending when the fraud claim was filed and it was my responsibility to call back. This is ridiculous for 2 reasons. 1. I was not told this on the initial call. 2. Capital One should develop a system to remove these type of charges without the customer waiting and calling back a second time. It seems like willful ignorance to not have a few fraud claims disputed. As I explained to the agent even a pen and paper would be a sufficient system to deal with these issues.

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

Complaint:
I contacted the three credit bureaus on XX/XX/2022 to inquire about some inquiries that I do not recognize. I asked the credit bureaus to provide me with a credit application because I don't recall making such inquires. I asked them to verify and send me proof of the credit inquires because I don't believe the creditor or the credit bureaus are abiding by the law of permissible purpose, because I don't recall ever making such a request for my credit to report to be pulled. I've sent multiple letters to all three bureaus and I did not receive anything back from Experian in which I know they are illegally Ignoring me. XXXX sent something back stating I have to contact the creditor directly and XXXX never got back with me either. I have mail receipts via USPS and It says it was delivered to them. I've sent multiple letter addressing the issue and they have done nothing at all but violate the FCRA. I took the matter in my own hands and reached out to each creditor and none of them can verify the credit application used to determine the inquiry they listed. I believe the credit bureaus are not reading my request and are just sending out pre template responses.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint:
I have a XXXX Account for many years and have existing Investments through them. I moved to Hawaii in 2003 and there were no XXXX XXXX Locations in the State. Finally I had to close my account and open a local Bank of Hawaii account. 

I moved multiple times, always forwarding mail to my new address, however at the time I closed this account, I never received any late fee notices or contact via telephone or email. I submitted a letter to close my account and paid off the entire balance. There were absolutely No Late Fees I was made aware of at anytime. 

The amount disputed is {$15.00}, I have contacted XXXX locally in XXXX and Nationally, There is no account number they can provide me with, nor any details regarding this late payment. Ultimately, there is no proof I was late in payment and after multiple efforts contacting XXXX XXXX, they have not removed from small late fee from my credit history. I never even knew it existed until I checked my credit report history. 

Please advise on how I can dispute this and I 'm happy to comply in anyway to remove this from my record because I 'm fiscally responsible and am always on time with payments. 

Thank you for all your help in this situation, XXXX XXXX XXXX

State: UT
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing statement

Complaint:
Although Capital One states that they sent statements to me in XXXX 2016 and XXXX 2016. I never received these statements. I have been issued a 30 and 60 day late payment notification against my credit report which has negatively impacted my credit score ( I was notified by my lender while trying to refinance my home ). The late payments are for a minimum payment ( in XXXX ) and then a minimum payment with a late fee and interest. Essentially a {$67.00} past due in XXXX and {$120.00} ( XXXX past due plus late payment plus interest ) charge in XXXX. Over the course of 10 years with this card, I have always pay this card in full. The issue with the Capital One program is, if a user has a {$0.00} ( XXXX ) balance, a statement is NEVER sent out by Capital One. Essentially, a monthly statement is NOT sent out to me each month. I use this card on rare occasions so a monthly statement is n't something that I expect to see. When I received a statement in XXXX of 2016, like other months and statements, I paid the balance in full. I have spoken to Capital One to try and resolve this miscommunication, however, they have told me to, " Take it up with the credit bureaus because they sent statements and we do n't believe in reversing or removing anything that we have already submitted. And although we completely understand how this has hurt your credit, we do n't have any type of grace program that allows us to remove any late payment notifications. You can write a letter our Credit Bureau department if you still disagree with us. '' Yesterday, I noticed one of the bureaus removed the negative merit from my record. After talking to the XXXX of the credit bureaus, they advised me to contact Capital One to try understand why the negative merit was removed from one of the bureaus records, but remained on the other XXXX. Again, I was told by Capital One, " We have nothing to do with that. If you have an issue, please write a letter to our Credit Bureau department. '' I have now been trying to resolve this issue for over 3 weeks and have spent more hours than I can keep track of. Capital One 's unwillingness to work with their customers to resolve a simple miscommunication shows me that their policies and procedures are skewed to ensure they protect themselves and hurt their customers. In all my years of owning my own company and working with creditors and lenders, I have never felt so disrespected or bullied.

Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint:
I was a faithful customer to Kohls for many years. Several months ago I obtained a credit report and was dismayed at what I discovered. Kohls had me listed as delinquent credit card holder and my account had been closed. I never received any notification from Kohls regarding any problems with my account. I called and was asked to send documentation from my bank indicating I had made all required payments which I did do. In XXXX 2015, I received a letter from Kohls indicating my documentation had been received and my account corrected. The letter indicated it may up to 60 days to correct my credit report. I ran another credit report on XXXX/XXXX/15 and the information is still not corrected. I have not received a refund for overpaying the same bill XXXX times. The refund should be for {$25.00} ; I realize at this point that is not a lot of many, but now it is about the principle.

I have disputed the XXXX XXXX & XXXX ( XXXX Apartments ) accounts with Experian and they have continued to say they verified the account and im like I have no idea how they could have through a XXXX system that lacks integrity. Anyone can verify a name and address but that does n't make the account mine at all. I even sent in my Identity Theft Affidavit for the accounts to be deleted within 5 business days and that has not taken place. According to the FCRA 609 it requires for them to verify it physically and I have wasted money on certified letters for them to send me a generic response. I have started the legal proceedings to seek my monetary damages but I 'm going to give them another chance to verify this account fully. I have disputed this account over 3 times certified mail and I still get a template answer.
