XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX Re : Request for Removal of Charge-Off Account Account : XXXX  Account Number : [ XXXX ] Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information being reported on my credit report under the account listed above. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 USC 1681 et seq., I am exercising my rights under federal law to challenge the validity and completeness of this account 's reporting.

Under Section 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to provide a detailed description of the investigation they conduct within 15 days of receiving a consumer 's dispute. Therefore, I request that you initiate a thorough investigation into this account 's history and provide me with the following information : 1. The Original Creditor 's Verification : Please verify the accuracy of the reported information with the original creditor, including the date of first delinquency and the accuracy of the balance owed. 
XXXX. The Date of First Delinquency : According to my records, the date of first delinquency and subsequent charge-off may have been reported inaccurately. Please confirm this date, as it is critical in determining the reporting period.

3. Verification of Account Status : The current status of this account appears inconsistent across the various credit reporting agencies. Specifically : o XXXX reports the account as Charged off as bad debt with a derogatory rating and mentions Dispute resolved ; customer disagrees. 
o XXXX reports Subscriber reports dispute resolved - consumer disagrees, noting an unpaid balance reported as a loss. 
o Equifax lists the account as Amount in high credit original charge-off amount and mentions Consumer disputes after resolution. 
XXXX. Inconsistent Payment Histories : The payment history reported by XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax varies significantly, reflecting discrepancies that cast doubt on the accuracy of the account information. 
Given these inconsistencies, I believe that this charge-off account may not be reported accurately or in full compliance with the FCRA. Therefore, I am requesting that this account be removed from my credit report immediately, or that you provide conclusive evidence to support the continued reporting of this account. 
If you are unable to verify the accuracy of this account, I expect you to remove it from my credit report within the legally mandated 30-day period. Additionally, please provide me with a copy of the detailed investigation report as required by Section 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ).

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving confirmation of your receipt of this dispute and the results of your investigation. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX :XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/year> SSN : XXXX

In late XXXX, I noticed late payments from a Capital One account on my credit report. I found, I was an authorized user on a relatives account, so I requested to be removed and for the late payments to be removed as well. Capital One advised me to contact the credit bureaus pertaining to the late payments. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to XXXX, explained the situation, and was assured it would be handled. However, a month later, I found that the account was no longer listed when I tried to pay my BJs balance on My Mobile App. I immediately contacted Capital One and learned that XXXX had reported the account as fraud. 

I spoke with a supervisor at Capital One, who instructed me to send a notarized letter with my name, address, Social Security number, and confirmation of ownership of the account. Capital one XXXX assured me the account will be Reopened. 

I followed the Capital One supervisors instructions to send a notarized letter taking ownership of the account. However, when I called back in late XXXX I was told it was being investigated, I then called back the end of XXXX and was told the account would not be reopened and the debt was owed. The representative was rude and unhelpful very solution focus and unprofessional. This has been such a uneasy experience. I do not think this is fair treatment what so ever I simply begged for a further investigation into this matter. 

I contacted XXXX again and spoke with agent named XXXX. He confirmed that a previous agent disputed the XXXX account and other capital one accounts. XXXX confirm the time and date I spoke to agent, although he would not provide a first name he gave me a file number XXXX. XXXX advised no further action could be taken. He mentioned that the dispute was filed as an account not associated with my name, effectively treating it as fraud with the creditor. 

I expressed my frustration and then requested that this issue be reviewed for training purposes to prevent similar problems for other consumers. The BJs account is crucial for my daily needs, and this situation has been extremely stressful for me. 
This situation has caused significant emotional distress, and the agents Ive spoken with have been unresponsive and unsympathetic. I am caught between Capital One and XXXX, with neither taking responsibility for their agents mistakes or providing clear guidance. 


I requested the Original Dispute Submitted On XX/XX/XXXX They denied me access to it. 

I requested a copy of the letter I sent to Capital One accepting ownership, to submit a copy with complaint and they denied sending me a copy. - I did not copy document as I was confident this would be easily rectified.

On XX/XX/year> I booked a flight from XXXX XXXX to XXXX round trip on Capital One Travel ( their travel portal ) using my Capital One Venture X Credit Card. This flight was listed as Fully Refundable with advance flight change allowed for free. I took a video going through all the details of the flights, including those points ( with green check marks next to them ), right through to clicking 'confirm and book ' and receiving my confirmation. The video runs about 2 mins and is 200mb so I can not upload it here but is available if you can give me another means to send it. About a week and a half later on XX/XX/year>, capital one travel offered a promotion for {$100.00} off a XXXX XXXX flight during the period in which I was planning to travel. So I booked a second ticket using the promotion as it saved me money. When I tried to cancel my original, more expensive booking, I was then told that my ticket was non refundable and not changeable. I told them that this was not the case and I have the video of making my booking to prove it. They denied my refund. I also got an email informing me that duplicate bookings were made, and if I did not cancel one, the newer one ( which was the cheaper one I wanted to keep ) would automatically be cancelled. So I had to cancel my original even as they didnt give me a refund or I would lose my promotion ticket that I wanted to keep. Capital one travel sold me a ticket that they listed as refundable, then refused to refund me when requested. Even today, on XX/XX/year>, a day after I made the cheaper replacement ticket booking, and 10 days after making the booking I cancelled, the exact same flight is still being listed for sale as fully refundable with changes allowed on their travel portal. In fact, all of their XXXX airlines flights available on that date was listed that way. Yet they won't refund me for my ticket. I even took a picture of a different flight as reference where it actually says changes not allowed specifically, to show how it comes up differently if it was actually supposed to be non-refundable

I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, XXXX has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

15USC 1692 ( 2 ) a ) Abusive practices There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy.

( b ) Inadequacy of laws Existing laws and procedures for redressing these injuries are inadequate to protect consumers.

( c ) Available non-abusive collection methods Means other than misrepresentation or other abusive debt collection practices are available for the effective collection of debts.

( d ) Interstate commerce Abusive debt collection practices are carried on to a substantial extent in interstate commerce and through means and instrumentalities of such commerce. Even where abusive debt collection practices are purely intrastate in character, they nevertheless directly affect interstate commerce.

( e ) Purposes It is the purpose of this subchapter to eliminate abusive debt collection practices by debt collectors, to insure that those debt collectors who refrain from using abusive debt collection practices are not competitively disadvantaged, and to promote consistent State action to protect consumers against debt collection abuses.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate
