Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

I submitted a credit repair request to a company, but they still failed to respond within the 30-day timeframe required by law. This failure to respond has negatively impacted my credit and caused difficulties for me. I am now submitting a complaint to the CFPB to address the situation and protect my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Managing an account — Fee problem
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ)

To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an incident that occurred at XXXX XXXX XXXX  in XXXX XXXX, New Jersey, on XX/XX/2023. On this date, I attempted to withdraw {$51000.00} from my account, but the bank did not have the available funds for withdrawal. I was informed that my only option to obtain my funds was to pay a {$10.00} fee for a cashier 's check. 

When I spoke to the branch manager XXXX XXXX XXXX, I explained the bank 's shortcoming and requested that the fee be waived. However, I was informed that the fee could not be waived, despite the bank 's failure to provide the requested service. I found this to be unacceptable, as I did not want to pay an additional fee for a service that should have been provided to me without any extra charges. 

Furthermore, I tried to close my account, as closing the account would allow me to obtain my funds free of charge. However, the branch would not allow it due to an incoming pending money transfer. The branch advised me to call Capital One and ask for my money back. When I called, the Capital One representatives were unwilling to reverse the fee, despite the bank 's failure to provide the service I requested. 

I believe that this incident is a clear violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 's regulations, as the bank failed to provide the service I requested, and then charged me an additional fee to obtain my funds. The branch 's unwillingness to waive the fee and the Capital One representatives ' lack of willingness to reverse it only compounded my frustration and dissatisfaction with the situation. 

I request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against Capital One Bank for their violation of consumer rights. I also request that Capital One Bank refund the {$10.00} fee that I was charged for the cashier 's check. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option 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.

I am writing once more to express my bewilderment regarding your credit bureau 's handling of the investigation into the fraudulent accounts on my credit report. 
As you are aware, I have submitted the necessary documentation to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) regarding these fraudulent accounts. Following this submission, XXXX and XXXX promptly removed these accounts from their records. 

I have also contacted the companies associated with these accounts directly, and they have confirmed the removal of the accounts from their records. Thus, I am perplexed as to why these accounts continue to be reported by your bureau. 

It is crucial to recognize that as a credit bureau, you are legally obligated to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. Failing to remove these fraudulent accounts not only breaches this duty but also subjects me to further harm.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
