Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I set up a payment plan with CapitalOne Finance for my XXXX XXXX. I recently had a huge drop in income and have been struggling ever since to get everything back to current status. The representative stated that they could set up XXXX payments for my past due amounts and it would put me back on track. I did receive confirmation emails for all XXXX payment dates as well. I called on XX/XX/XXXX to move the payment from the XXXX to XXXX because I would get paid and have enough to cover the first payment. They refused to do so since it was the initial payment but that representative said that I can always change the other XXXX if necessary. Payment thankfully posted and nothing else occurred until I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX, dated on XX/XX/XXXX, a notice of strict enforcement of contract rights. I was confused because the rep who set up my account stated that the payment plan will prevent any letters or calls, clearly he was wrong. I called on XX/XX/XXXX asking why I received this payment even though I have a payment plan set up and that rep was talking and concerned only to set up another payment after my payment plan ends. I did the math of everything past due and broke it down and told the rep that making that additional payment would put me ahead not behind and I shouldn't have to do a double payment of my normal amount. We went back and forth about the math and finally she asked if I would like a copy of my transaction history and I said yes but it has to be mailed out so as of now I'm still waiting. I called them today, XX/XX/XXXX, to move it from the XXXX to the XXXX or XXXX since that is within the grace period and when I get a paycheck. The first rep cancelled that payment and put me on hold which ended up disconnecting the call, the second call with another rep kept talking the extra payment needs and wouldn't answer my questions about why I couldn't schedule a new payment as the original rep with the payment plan said I can. Again got placed on hold and disconnected. The third attempt was an even bigger mess, apparently more inaccurate information from the initial payment plan setup that if I change the date it would cancel my entire payment plan which the rep said on the line and I repeated twice to make sure I heard her correctly. I've changed payments before and never had a payment plan get cancelled because of it. It would seem that they are just trying to get more money than they should be and wanting to intentionally get my car repossessed no matter how many times I've tried to work with them.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ)

My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX 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 reported to be removed/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. 

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!

I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of certain inquiries listed on my credit report. Upon reviewing the document, I discovered several unauthorized and potentially inacurate inquiries that I have not initiated nor provided authorization for. Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am exercising my right to request an investigation into these discrepancies and to have them rectified accordingly. 

Below, I have outlined the details of the disputed inquiry : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date : XX/XX/2024 I have no recollection of initiating any transaction or applying for credit with XXXX XXXX. Therefore, I am concerned about the accuracy and legitimacy of this inquiry. Given that I did not provide authorization for this inquiry, I am questioning its validity and authenticty. 

As per the FCRA, I understand that it is your responsibility to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. I urge you to verify the legitimacy of the inquiry with the respective creditor and provide me with verifiable prof of your findings and actions taken. It is imperative that this investigation is completed within a reasonable timeframe, as mandated by law. 

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize the importance of adhering to the FCRA 's requirement for consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained within consumer reports. Any inaccuracies or discrepancies can have significant repercussions on my financial standing and creditworthiness. 

In light of the above, I request that you promptly remove the disputed inquiry from my credit report if it can not be verified or if it is found to be inaccurate.

THIS IS WITH FTC On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computer-generated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. Court, ( CD California 2014 ) ; you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of discharged accounts.

I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or another instrument bearing my signature.

In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.

I request this under 15 U.S. Code 1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the false reporting isnt removed ; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.Cal. Nov.

14, 1995 ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Despite my persistent efforts, these issues remain unresolved. Enclosed is a copy of the letter I previously sent to the credit bureaus. Your firm 's response dismissed my request for verification of erroneous items on my report as " frivolous '' or " irrelevant. '' I want to stress the importance of this matter to me. Should you choose to disregard my original request, which was sent via certified mail, I will not hesitate to escalate the issue to the Federal Trade Commission. I urge you to conduct a thorough review of the following information and provide evidence supporting the alleged item, such as a contract, note, or any document bearing my signature. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to demand the immediate removal of these items from my report.

Ive noticed that several deviations from mandatory reporting standards therefore the data in my report can not be accurate and complete! With that said, I deny your allegations and I challenge you to provide proof that you have the right to report this incomplete negative information on my credit report. 

Per 15 U.S.C 1681e Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates.

According to 12 CFR Part 1022 ( Regulation V ) requires furnishers to : Furnish information concerning accounts or other relationships with a consumer that has integrity.

Furnish information about accounts or other relationships with a consumer that is accurate.

C - Conduct reasonable investigations of consumer disputes According to CRRG, in order to make a lawful report, you must follow the Metro 2 compliance standards.

Also as stated in the CRRG Any Deviation From These Standards Jeopardizes The Integrity of The Data. This means that any mistakes in reporting claims can make the information less accurate and it affects the accuracy of any federally regulated reports.

Therefore, I am invoking my rights to challenge these inaccurate and non-compliant items. Neglecting my demand will only prove that you DO NOT care about my rights as a consumer. Its NOT FAIR for you to report information that isnt confirmed to be ethical and meets the standards of certified reporting. Again, I am challenging these claims and asking for proof of the proper reporting standards.

You are violating my rights! I have listed the concerns about your reporting in this document. It's not complete and does not meet my standards according to law, you must certify all aspects of required FCRA/ Metro 2 compliance which is done truthfully, correctly ( in a timely manner ), completely AND accurately as well - or else I would have to escalate these issues to the CFPB, FTC and my Attorney General.
