Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (FL)

I am writing to formally complain about an unauthorized financial transaction involving a vehicle purchase allegedly made in my name and financed by Capital One. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, informed Capital One that a vehicle was to be purchased under my name and collected payment despite the vehicle being in my possession for only 32 hours. According to our agreement, the deal was not finalized until I provided a {$2000.00} down payment, after which all necessary paperwork would be completed and handed over to me. Despite being given a limited time to test the vehicle and the assurance that all documentation would be handled electronically, I did not receive any copies or formal agreements at the time of the transaction. All agreements were verbal, and it was understood that I had a brief evaluation period to decide on the purchase. However, the dealership proceeded to collect payment from Capital One without my consent and before any formal paperwork was completed. Within those 32 hours, I contacted my bank 's finance representative who advised me of a better deal on a newer car at XXXX dealership. Consequently, I returned the XXXX vehicle and proceeded with purchasing a vehicle from XXXX through my bank 's financing. 
Furthermore, I must address the unsettling incident involving a private investigator sent to my residence on XX/XX/XXXX on behalf of Capital One. The investigator was instructed to retrieve the vehicle from my possession, despite its return to the dealership within the agreed-upon timeframe. Information gathered by the investigator was reportedly obtained from Capital One. My legal representative, XXXX XXXX, subsequently contacted Capital One to clarify the financial obligations attributed to me. It was discovered that the vehicle in question had been located by the private investigator, XXXX XXXX, at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Remarkably, the vehicle had been at the dealership since XXXX, a XXXX salesman, returned it in XXXX, on my behalf, after a XXXX salesman I had previously interacted with was unprofessional in our dealings.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
