Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

Urgent Demand for Immediate Correction of Inaccurate Reporting : Upon reviewing my Consumer Reports, I was enraged to find egregious inaccuracies regarding alleged late payments on an account where I have ALWAYS made punctual payments. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Consumer Reporting Agencies are REQUIRED BY LAW to ensure the HIGHEST degree of accuracy in reporting consumer information. I have NEVER missed a payment on the following account : I DEMAND an IMMEDIATE and THOROUGH investigation into these blatant discrepancies within FOUR DAYS, as mandated by the FCRA. You are REQUIRED to provide undeniable evidence, such as detailed account statements, substantiating the alleged lateness of these payments. FAILURE to furnish such proof within the specified 4-day timeframe will lead to my INSISTENCE that these payments be corrected to reflect their accurate, ON-TIME status, in rigorous adherence to FCRA Section 611, which mandates accuracy and completeness in consumer reports. 
I have consistently met my payment obligations ON TIME and WILL NOT TOLERATE this unacceptable situation. RECTIFY THIS IMMEDIATELY.

I am writing to formally express my concerns and frustration regarding the Equifax data breach that occurred in 2017. As a victim of this incident, my personal and financial information has been compromised, leading to significant distress and ongoing issues with identity theft. Equifax is inaccurately reporting my Social Security Number, posing a significant risk to my financial security and identity integrity. You have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence Engelhardtv v.Graven ( MO ) 261 SW 715 719 I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt nor therefore any such debt in fact exists.

" I am addressing the issue with regarding the noncompliance. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not, that is considered identity theft. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, there exists statutory civil liability for willful noncompliance. This provision stipulates that any person who willfully fails to comply with consumer protection requirements may be liable to the affected consumer for damages, including potential punitive measures and reimbursement of legal costs. This underscores the importance of addressing and rectifying this matter promptly and responsibly.

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a formal letter to XXXXXXXX XXXX requesting validation of a debt as per federal law 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of Debts. As of today, several months have passed, and I have not received any validation from XXXXXXXX XXXX. 
This failure to provide debt validation within the required 30-day period, as mandated by law, is not only non-compliant but also illegal. Attached are copies of my original letter dated XX/XX/year>, along with the certified mail receipt confirming the date of my request ( Sent same letter to 2 different XXXXXXXX XXXX Addresses ). 
Given that XXXXXXXX XXXX did not validate this debt within the legally required timeframe, I hereby demand that Equifax immediately remove this wrongfully reported account from my credit report. The continued presence of this unvalidated debt is causing me significant and ongoing harm, and it is in clear violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
