Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, 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 wee k 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 t he statue of limitations to collect and merging a previous bill does not seem to be right.  I then 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 Transunion 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 Transunion.  
  
 The issue here is that this information is still reporting the same on a ll 3 o f 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.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CT)

My husband and I have the XXXX XXXX credit card through Capital One that is advertised as best for travelers, where you can get low rates for travel, and discounts on travel purchases. On the phone, their rep said these exact words when you book flights through them better rates and we have lower rates than the airlines websites. This is NOT true as we just experienced. 

I booked flights for us on XX/XX/XXXX via the Capital One travel rewards website. Using our points on one booking, the price of a flight on XXXX XXXX went from {$3200.00} to {$3100.00}. The other booking did not use points and was {$3300.00}. 

A day later, a friend was looking for the same flight but went directly to the airlines website. She found the exact same flight ( same time, same flight number, same day of week, same route, same class of service ) for {$2100.00} per person and called me. 

I feel SICK that we spent {$1000.00} more on each ticket going through Capital One Travel. I called them and they give you the runaround saying prices fluctuate, etc. etc. I could see {$100.00} difference here or there, but not {$1000.00} per ticket which is outrageous.

I found that my credit report included a credit card and address that did not belong to me. A person in the state of New York with the same name and birthdate has this address and his bad credit is affecting mine and Ive been unable to clear it up with the original credit card holder, XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) card in the amount of {$4900.00}. They also would not update my report to remove the New York address despite the fact that Ive never lived there or visited the state of New York. I have a pile of documents to prove that this is not me but all 3 credit agencies will not clearly tell me what to do to remove the credit card and address from my report. This is negatively affecting my credit and has for more than a year.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (OH)

I have been unemployed for three months now and lost my unemployment benefits. It could take three weeks or lose them totally. I was asking for a short deferment on my loans so I can get a job and start repaying my loans. I was 30 days behind on a loan and called them for help in this matter. On XXXX XXXX, I spoke with Navient about getting help to resolve this issue. I was told that they would help me if my co-signer was not able to help. Navient spoke with my co-signer and since she is on a fixed income, she could not help. A week later I received a call from Navient saying that I need to make the full payment and they were not going to work with me. So today, I called Navient again on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and asking what kind of program they have for an out of work veteran. I was asking for a short XXXX3 month deferment so I can find work and start repaying my loans. I was told that there was nothing they can do because I exhausted all my forbearances in the beginning of my loan. I was force to take a low paying job right out of XXXX school because they stated that my externship is part of the school and If I did not get any job that was in the XXXX field, I would not graduate and would never get a XXXX degree from that school. We were all promised high paying XXXX jobs when we left school. I did not and have been fighting hard to pay for my loans. I, myself, and co-signer are tired of all the harassing phone calls from Navient. They will hang up the phone if you tell them that you are recording the conversation.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

You have no rights to report this bankruptcy in my credit report! There are different date file/reported and even the closing dates.
