The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (WA)

After a recent purchase from XXXX turned out to be defective, and I found the defect just XXXX days outside the XXXX XXXX return window ( because I was traveling ) and was unable to get any response from the manufacturer, I reached out to Capital One to use the " purchase/warranty protection '' benefit they offered at the time they advertised the {$390.00} annual fee Venture XXXX  XXXX  credit card. 

I spent XXXX minutes explaining the issue to Capital One, after which Capital One made me fill out a lengthy form asking for all kind of details. I spent a good amount of time filling out the form, collecting the chat transcript where the XXXX agent said they will refund the amount but never did, and uploaded all the documents they requested. But as soon as I uploaded it, within seconds they immediately sent me a rejection of dispute ( auto-rejection ) without any explanation. 

I called their number to understand why they rejected it so quickly, it was obvious from my conversation with the agent that they never read any of that and kept pointing out that some information was missing ( all the information was there ). Next they kept putting on hold several times saying they will " be back in XXXX to XXXX minutes '', and made another excuse stating that the XXXX chat transcript I posted is not good enough and they need screenshot. Their " purchase protection '' is about any defect in product quality which they are not honoring. Instead they are using every tactic in the book to waste your time, make you jump through hoops, and wear you down. 

It sounds like Capital One makes false promise of " purchase/warranty protection '' only to give you a run-around when it comes to using the benefit they claim to offer to justify charging the {$390.00} annual fee for. Because of that, I'm requesting that they refund the original amount of {$77.00} that the item cost, and the {$390.00} annual fees they charged me for a benefit they never intended to honor, and a {$200.00} " inconvenience fee '' for wasting my time and giving me the run-around. 

Can you please take this scammy " credit card '' company to task? 

Thanks, XXXX

I am submitting this complaint against the credit bureaus due to their continuous failure to address my dispute letters concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this issue through the appropriate channels, the credit bureaus have not acknowledged or investigated my disputes, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Even after multiple submissions, the credit bureaus have failed to provide any response, confirm an investigation, or correct the disputed information. This lack of action clearly violates the FCRA, which requires credit bureaus to investigate disputes and respond within 30 days.
