Consumer complaint received 2023-04-04
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

I have a Capital One Venture card set up with the Auto Pay feature to pay the statement balance in full every month. 

In XX/XX/2023, the payment was not drafted from my checking account on the due date, XX/XX/XXXX, so I called Capital One the following day on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire why it had not been drafted and was told that they could not tell because I was set up in Auto Pay to have the full statement balance drafted from my account. I paid the full balance over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX and the representative acknowledged that there was no reason he could see why it had not been drafted as it should have been. He agreed to refund the {$25.00} late fee that had been charged to my account. 

At the time, I did not realize that on XX/XX/XXXX I was charged {$21.00} in interest for the prior month 's daily accrued balance. On XX/XX/XXXX, the balance was drafted in full, as it had been in every month prior to XXXX. I was again charged {$10.00} on XX/XX/XXXX even though the balance was again paid in full. 

This morning I called to inquire about the XXXX interest charge and the representative again said he did not understand why I would have been charged interest as the account had been set up for many months to be auto drafted and paid in full every month but that he did not have the ability to waive the interest so I asked to speak to a supervisor. 

The supervisor then told me that he saw where the account had been cancelled to have the payment drafted but could not tell who did it. There is however, NO RECORD of the auto payment being " reactivated '' - it was never cancelled in the first place, at least be me. If there is a record of my auto payment feature being cancelled, it would stand to reason that there would also be a record of the Auto Payment being reactivated after the XXXX statement but I have verified that there is no such transaction record on my account. 

I am at a loss why I am being charged interest for two months worth of charges for what is effectively a one day late payment due to a system error at Capital One. At no point prior to speaking to this supervisor has anyone previously ever indicated that the Auto Payment was cancelled and I certainly did not cancel it. I paid the entire balance over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX and I pay the balance every month in full. 

I have been charged for accrued interest for two months through no fault of my own. Capital One, while acknowledging that no of this makes any sense, is unwilling to refund me for the interest they have charged to my account. Please look into this and help. Thank you

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to dispute several collection accounts on my XXXX, Equifax and XXXX credit reports that I believe to be fraudulent. I am a victim of identity theft and did not open or authorize any of these accounts. 

The following accounts are fraudulent : XXXX : Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX  Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX ) Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax : Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX  Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX ) Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX  Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Account Number : XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX  Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX I believe that these accounts were opened without my knowledge or consent while I was out of the country. I was not present in the United States during the time these accounts were opened, and I have not used the services of these creditors. 

As a victim of identity theft, I request that these accounts be removed from my credit reports immediately. I have taken steps to address this issue, including contacting the appropriate authorities and notifying my financial institutions. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC (NJ)

I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX from Radius Global solutions from XXXX for an account for XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$960.00}. For 4 lines of service phone numbers XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. After speaking with the rep I advised I had no knowledge of this account. The account was open from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. I have never used any of these phone numbers the only phone numbers I have ever had were provided. I also never lived at the address they are presenting, I have had family members and an ex that lived at that location, but I was in my XXXX living on my schools campus. After speaking with the fraud dept I completed a FTC complaint and advised them that this dept is over XXXX years old and there has never been any prior notification or default judgement entered so in that case in the state of NJ they are only allowed by law to pursue or collect on a dept within 6 years. We are past that point so I request that this dept be dissolved and stop the demand for payment on an outside of limitation account and also fraud account.
