XX/XX/XXXX I asked the lender/company that manages the account ( capital one ) to contact XXXX to see if the account is eligible to be re-reported or reinserted to my credit report. 

They advised me they were not able to do this. 

Additionally, I tried contacting XXXX after having no success and once again after speaking to management was advised they were not able.

There is no issue reporting to XXXX monthly since XXXX. The XXXX point discrepancy in the score differences is solely because of this one account not being added to my XXXX report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I recently submitted a letter regarding the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report, but it's now been over 30 days, and I haven't received any response. This lack of action is really concerning. According to Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), youre required to investigate disputed items within 30 days, and if you don't, those items must be removed from my report.

Since it's been more than 30 days, I expect my credit report to be updated immediately, reflecting the removal of the disputed accounts. If this isn't resolved quickly, Ill have no choice but to consider legal action, as this ongoing delay has caused me considerable stress. 

Additionally, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which makes me even more worried about how my personal information is being handled.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I was reviewing my credit reports and found multiple accounts with conflicting information between the 3 credit bureaus for the same accounts that list different account numbers, date of last activity, last payment date, balance, account status, and original balance. I am requesting that all information for the accounts listed below be provided in writing to me which includes but not limited to : the original contract with my wet signature, full transactional history from date of opening to present or closing of the account, any other documentation that was use to verify the account as being accurate.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) ACCURACY OF REPORT : Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. I know that under 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ( ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

I have received information from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX reporting agencies that there's been a new hard inquiry made on my name with a new credit product offered by CAPITAL ONE ( on XX/XX/2024 ), although I didn't recognise neither the inquiry, nor the details provided with the inquiry ( the address and phone number, which were supposed to be associated with me, were wrong ) plus I haven't made any new inquiries for any credit products within recent months. 
I have called CAPITAL ONE and provided them all the information regarding my concern. They have registered my call and request, informed me that they are going to pull that application out of my profile and inform the credit agencies that the application had been fraudulent and wasn't made by me or on my behalf, so in the future it won't affect my credit score. 
And they also recommended me to file a complaint regarding that fraud attempt to FTC / CFPB, which I am doing here. 
The incorrect home address and phone number provided in the application are as follows : Address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Phone ( XXXX ) XXXX I have never been associated neither with that address nor with the phone number.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (VA)

On XX/XX/2023, I placed a check to the IRS into a USPS blue mailbox in the amount of {$90000.00}. The check was stolen, forged and cashed the next day by a person unknown to me. I reported this fraud to Truist on XX/XX/XXXX, and my claim was immediately denied because the bank said I failed to report the fraud to them within the required timeframe. Truist carelessly gave my money to a criminal by way of a blatantly obvious forgery. The level of security Truist and the cashing bank displayed regarding this forged check was XXXX. No one from their fraud investigation department or collections department has contacted me regarding the incident. Truist failed utterly to protect my money ( the primary purpose of a bank ) and has no intention that I can see of reimbursing me for their failure. If this is indicative of the care that banks take with paper checks, then banks should no longer be in the business of processing paper checks, or the government should ensure that they are liable for fraud when their security procedures are so easily defeated. The Truist Claim # is XXXX.
