Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY)

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ), Section 602a emphasizes the importance of consumer reporting agencies handling their responsibilities fairly, impartially, and with respect for privacy. I, as the consumer, assert my right to safeguard my private information, supported by 15 USC 6801, which highlights the obligation of financial institutions to respect customer privacy. CAPITAL ONE, classified as a financial institution, must adhere to Section 604a ( 2 ) of 15 USC 1681, requiring consumer reporting agencies to furnish a consumer report only based on the consumer 's written instructions. 

I revoke any and all consent for XXXX, XXXX and CAPITAL ONE to furnish my information, explicitly stating that they lack my written consent. Additionally, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) prohibits financial institutions from disclosing nonpublic personal information without explaining how the consumer can exercise the nondisclosure option. Capital One failed to inform me of this right. Furthermore, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) restricts consumer reporting agencies from including adverse information without authorization.

The law ( 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ) prohibits furnishing inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies, and 15 U.S. Code 1681e mandates agencies to maintain reasonable procedures. XXXX and XXXX are deemed non-compliant. Finally, according to 12 CFR 1016.7, it states that A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

I understand the process of the investigation is to reach every individual company to verify the accuracy of the information. In accordance with FCRA, Section 611 A through D, you are supposed to let me know who you verified with. In my original investigation request sent I asked you to delete anything that is not 100 percent accurate.

This is not the time to update since you had time to update after the first letter. Now that I have pointed out the mistakes, updating the other accounts is an admission of guilt and a direct violation of my rights to a fair investigation. You stated it was verified. How is it possible that XXXX, XXXX, and Experian all verified the accounts above as accurate, but they all have inconsistencies in the reporting? In fact, there is no possible way a full investigation could have been done in accordance with Section 611 due to the inconsistencies coming after my original request for investigation.

At this point, I demand you delete these accounts immediately, or I have no choice but to seek counsel to point out the rights that have been violated under the FCRA. Please forward me an updated credit report after you have completed your deletions and corrections.
