I called Capital One, explained the situation and they agreed to contact XXXX and they gave me a provisional credit.

I called in XXXX and XXXX and reps said they didn't have any information on it, so it must still be in research.

I completed it all that day. Again, I heard nothing back. In XXXX, I called and there was no update again. I got transferred around several time until I got XXXX, who was ever so pleased to tell me that my case was close in XXXX and they could not re-open it. I told him that was not true and that I submitted a bunch of screenshots and receipts in XXXX and I haven't heard anything. He stated that they have been sending electronic communication, that I need to check my portal. I said that I didn't know how to do that I only signed up for paperless billing and I have always received any other correspondence in writing at my XXXX XXXX XXXX He told me that I was lying and that I signed up for all communications to be sent electronically.

I pay an annual fee for them to protect my financial transactions and as such I am going to hold them accountable for doing the right thing.

Re : Late Payment Dispute under the CARES Act, FCRA, and TILA Account NumberXXXX Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally file a complaint against XXXX XXXX for reporting inaccurate information related to a late payment on my credit report.

" 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.

My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment to be updated. 
They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
