Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

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.

I requested again the correction of inaccurate information which another credit reporting agency found to be inaccurate and had removed. Due to your lack of response, or a response that I classify as frivolous, Credit Bureaus have dishonored FCRA regulations and my request for verification.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I discovered that some of the information on my credit report was incorrect when I reviewed it. Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require the 3 credit bureaus to validate these accounts ( A ). It is not permissible to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the time frame specified by law. My credit report includes the following erroneous information that needs to be investigated and correct.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IL)

Capital One lured me ( and many others ) into applying for the SavorOne Rewards credit cards by promising a cash sign-up bonus. The promised cash sign-up bonus was a substantial factor in my decision to apply for the Credit Cards XXXX Immediately after I applied for the Credit Card online, Capital One indicated that they had been approved for the Credit Card. But, even though I then spent the required amount using their Credit Cards within the specified time period, Capital One never provided me with the promised sign-up bonus. Capital Ones practice of failing to provide the promised sign-up bonus is unlawful in multiple respects. 

First, Capital One breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing with consumers who have the Credit Card by failing to issue sign-up bonuses that are advertised and promised at the time consumers apply for the Credit Cards XXXX By failing to provide the promised sign-up bonus, Capital One denied consumers of the benefit of their bargain. 

Second, Capital Ones practice of advertising and not paying sign-up bonuses violates the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, Illinois Code Chapter 815, 505/1 through 505/12. Capital Ones promise of a sign-up bonus enticed me to apply for the Credit Cards and to spend a certain amount within a specified time by advertising terms that included a sign-up bonusthe bait.

But, after I had applied, Capital One approved me for a Credit Card on different terms that did not include eligibility for a sign-up bonusthe switch. Although Capital One had switched the terms, Capital One never informed me that they were no longer eligible for the sign-up bonus.

As a result, Capital Ones initial promise of a sign-up bonus incentivized me not only to apply for and open the Credit Card , but also to spend money on the Credit Card to receive a sign-up bonus. In other words, based on Capital Ones deceptive offer of a sign-up bonus, I applied for and charged purchases to the Credit Card that they otherwise would not have charged had they not been drawn in by the advertised sign-up bonus.

I seek to end Capital One 's deceptive practices and will be seeking to sue for damages, restitution, and injunctive relief, in a Class Action suit.
