Issue: Transaction issue — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CO)

I have a credit card with Capital One. it has a small balance and the {$26.00} minimum payment was due XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/17, I made a payment for {$26.00} online, but it was erroneously from a bank account I had closed, that was still listed on Capital One 's site. I did n't realize this. I then made what I thought was an extra payment for {$26.00} on XXXX, from my Cap one bank account online. When on the credit card 's site, I can choose the bank account to pay the payment from. I have a Cap One checking and savings account, and it said the available balance was {$37.00} on XXXX account, and {$46.00} on the other. So either account should be able to handle a {$26.00} payment. 

As it turns out, this payment was rejected too, saying insufficient funds. After realizing this I called and Cap one said that they were holding the last {$15.00} deposit for verification from my bank, XXXX Bank. Which I understand -- but that should n't be listed in the available balance then and it is with Capital One when I am trying to pay the credit card online. This is grossly misleading at best, and just plain fraudulent in my opinion. Available balance is supposed to be the funds that are available, not that ones that will be available. So, with that payment being returned, I was n't aware and after thinking I was paying extra for the month, the payment for this month was n't made on time at all and I incurred a late fee and possible late on my credit report. Capital One has removed the late fee but say they ca n't say how the account will report. When I look at the payment history for the credit card, it shows payments of {$26.00} made on XXXX and XXXX. NOWHERE on that transaction history does it state those payments were returned or reversed. So this is false, as well as the available balance on the checking and savings. I believe it they are providing misleading and false information that is a detriment to my credit history and financial status. There is no transparency with my finances that are with Capital One and this has been a negative experience that could potentially be repeated since they do n't report their own accounts accurately or in detail. I don ' feel this is fair practice and am considering consulting a lawyer.

Company: Flagstar Bank, National Association (AZ)

My home suffered a loss due to flooding on XX/XX/2016. My home is covered under a flood insurance policy from FEMA. NYCB is the secondary lien holder on the property and the total loan as approximately {$38000.00}. The claim for structural damage alone is in excess of {$61000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, a check was issued by FEMA as an advance payment to assist with paying contractors for demolition, dry out and repairs. The Check was made out to myself, my wife, XXXX XXXX as the primary lien holder and AMTrust Bank as the secondary lien holder. On XX/XX/XXXX, my wife and I went to a local branch of XXXX XXXX and the bank manager endorsed the check immediately. After that we immediately went to a local branch of AMTrust Bank of which NYCB is a subsidiary. We were informed that this would have to go their loss department by 1st class mail. A follow-up phone call was made on XX/XX/XXXX and at first it was explained that their loss department would have to review the claim and send out inspectors for the work before they would issue a check. I explained to the customer service representative that NYCB was n't issuing a check and that the claim is not with their bank, it is with FEMA who I am dealing with directly. After about 15 minutes of explaining that all I needed was their endorsement of the check, I was told that as the secondary lien holder, NYCB did not need to go through the lengthy process and would simply endorse it and send it back. The check has not arrived as of XXXX, and I am looking at liens being placed on my property from the cleanup company this week. A phone call to NYCB went to a voice mail system. My concern is that this lender is unreasonably holding onto a check that they are the forth signator on. I am especially concerned when the balance of the funds from FEMA arrive. My house is a complete wreck and hardly livable, yet this financial institution seems unwilling and uninterested in addresses these real concerns. I have had to slow down the course of work significantly due to the delay from this lender. They should simply be able to endorse the check as XXXX XXXX did and send it back to me without unreasonable delay. I am hoping to work through this claim as quickly as possible to get back a home after my loss from XX/XX/XXXX. FEMA 's adjuster is handling the claim and responsible for inspections.

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, New York XXXX SSN : SS # : XXXX XXXX : Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the late payment account on my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX account ( XXXX ) and the inquiries made by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am deeply concerned about the negative impact these items may have on my credit score and financial reputation. As a responsible consumer, I have always made timely payments on all of my accounts, and it is distressing to see these discrepancies on my credit report. 

I would like to request a thorough investigation of these items and request their removal from my credit report if found to be inaccurate or unverifiable. I believe that the law requires the information on my credit report to be accurate and complete, and any errors or discrepancies must be corrected. 

Furthermore, I would like to remind you that the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) protects consumers from inaccurate information on their credit reports. The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to investigate disputes within 30 days and remove any inaccuracies. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in legal action against your agency. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information or clarification. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

Please note I'm not using any third party for this matter and I represent myself. 
I checked my credit report and noticed some inquiry from companies that I did not give consent to access my credit reports ; I am very concerned about all activity going on with my credit reports these days. I am fully aware that without permissible purpose no entity is allowed to pull my credit unless otherwise noted in section 604 of the FTCRA. 

My personal information was compromised and went to wrong hands. 
It should be noted that an inquiry that was not made by me is not a factual record, just as a fraudulently opened account is not a factual record and not referred to the creditor to be disputed directly with them. As a consumer I should not be required to dispute each fraudulent inquiry directly with each company. These inquiries are the result of fraudulent activity and therefore inaccurate information in which the credit reporting agencies or the creditors can not verify, meaning that these inquiries are unverifiable information and must be deleted from out of my credit file. 
I have filed FTC report for this matter. 
I request that you remove the inquiry of XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX dated : XX/XX/2022, please remove the inquiry and send me an updated copy of my credit report at the address listed above. I believe I'm a victim of Identity theft. 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter,

FIRST THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR ANY FREEZES OR SECURITY ALERTS TO BE PUT ON MY FILE. 

TRANSUNION CREDIT IS IN VIOLATION OF THE FCRA. SPECIFICALLY SECTION 609. I RECEIVED A NEW CREDIT REPORT TODAY AND THERE ARE XXXX ITEMS STILL REPORTING THAT THEY CAN NOT VERIFY BY THE LETTER OF THE LAW. 

1. XXXX. THIS ACCOUNT SAYS IT HAS BEEN CHARGED OFF. I CONTACTED XXXX MYSELF AND THEY COULD NOT LOCATE AN ACCOUNT FOR ME YET TRANSUNION REPORTS IT AS A NEGATIVE ACCOUNT. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO SUPPLY ME WITH THE SIGNED APPLICATION FROM XXXX AND THEY REFUSE, ALL THEY DO IS SAY IT HAS BEEN UPDATED. SECTION 609 OF THE FCRA SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE ON FILE THE ORIGINAL SOURCE DOCUMENT TO PROVE VALIDITY OF THE ACCOUNT AND THEY DO NOT HAVE IT AND YET THEY KEEP REPORTING IT TO SIMPLY HURT ME FINANCIALLY. THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW. 

2. XXXX : CAN NOT VERIFY THIS ACCOUNT, NO CONTRACT WITH MY SIGNATURE ON IT AND YET TRANSUNION KEEPS IT LISTED AS A NEGATIVE ACCOUNT. THEY ARE ONCE AGAIN BREAKING THE LAW AS THIS ACCOUNT CAN NOT BE VERIFIED PER SECTION 609 WITH PROPER SIGNED DOCUMENTATION. BECAUSE I NEVER HAD AN ACCOUNT WITH XXXX. THIS ACCOUNT IS NOT MINE.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OH)

I had an account with  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  back in  XXXX  ; however, I did have their equipment which was showing that I owed  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  {$500.00}. On  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  at  XXXX , I physically returned the equipment and received a receipt showing the return of the equipment. There was no information indicating there was a balance on the account. I called  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   (  now known as  XXXX   ) one week later asking on when my credit report would be updated accordingly. I  was then advised that I owe {$220.00} from a previous address back in  XXXX . I explained that I did not have an account with  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  back in  XXXX  -  XXXX  with the address identified, yet during that timeframe I did have an account with   XXXX   XXXX   And the account I held with  XXXX   XXXX  closed when I returned their equipment back in  XXXX . The representative explained that  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  acquired  XXXX   XXXX  which is how the delinquent account appears on their system. I then explained that even it is possible that I owe an amount with   XXXX   XXXX    (  which I do not ) it is past the  statue of limitations to collect and merging a previous bill does not seem to be right. I the n asked for a bill to substantiate the amount owed. The representative then advised that they are unable to send a bill via regular mail or e-mail but I could go to a store to request this information.  
  
 A few days later I contacted the collection agency asking for more information and I was advised that the amount owed is now {$220.00} instead of {$500.00} and if I need to dispute this information, then I can go to their website and add my dispute.  
  
 I contacted   XXXX   by phone to dispute and a few days later I received notification that the {$500.00} amount is reporting accurately. I have also tried to dispute this with the other major credit bureaus and I am unable to move forward with my dispute. I am also unable to re-dispute this inaccurate information with   XXXX    
  
 The issue here is that this information is still reporting the same on all  3 of  my major credit reports even after I returned the equipment to  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  and was given a receipt that did not show information that there is a remaining balance.
