Complaint Regarding Credit Report Inaccuracies Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. I have been actively disputing these inaccuracies with the credit bureaus, but they have failed to adequately investigate my claims or remove the incorrect information. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I attached the PDF file below containing the list of items that have violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681.

Credit Bureau stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify or delete accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

I also believe that the credit bureaus have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to : 1. Investigate my disputes in a timely and reasonable manner : The credit bureaus have not provided a clear explanation for their decision not to remove the inaccurate information, and I believe their investigation was inadequate.

2. Furnish accurate information to creditors : The inaccurate information on my credit report is harming my ability to obtain credit and other financial services.

3. Follow the FCRA 's dispute resolution procedures : The credit bureaus have failed to comply with the timeframes and procedures outlined in the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the CFPB investigate my complaint and take the following actions : 1. Order the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate information from my credit report.

2. Require the credit bureaus to provide me with a copy of my updated credit report reflecting the changes. 

Enclosures : Copies of my credit reports Copies of my dispute letters Copies of any supporting documentation I provided to the credit bureaus

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (WA)

I opened a prepaid credit card with Capital One on XXXX by making a {$200.00} deposit. I have never used this card. In early XXXX I called Capital One Customer Service and requested that my account be closed and my deposit refunded to me. I received a confirmation letter from Capital One dated XX/XX/XXXX confirming the account closure and stating that my deposit would be refunded after 2 complete billing cycles. Billing for the account was the XXXX of each month I believe. In late XXXX I called Capital One to follow up on my deposit refund. I was told that I should see it mailed to me around the first week of XXXX. The check has still not arrived. I again contacted Capital One by phone on XX/XX/XXXX. I first spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. After some while she told me that I would need to speak with a supervisor. After quite a while on hold I was connected with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. This woman verified once again all of my information, including my birthdate, and put me on hold multiple times. At one point she claimed that a check was mailed to me on XX/XX/XXXX. This was the first person to claim a check had been mailed. I have a secure locking mailbox and have not to my knowledge experienced " lost mail '' in decades. She continued to insist that I remain on hold. The total minutes of my call was 59 minutes. Probably 90 % of the time I was put on hold. I finally told the supervisor that she had all the information needed to process the return of my deposit and that I could not remain on hold any longer. 
As of today 's date, XX/XX/XXXX, I have not received my deposit back from Capital One. I am requesting help from this XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (ND)

I have been away from home and came back On XXXX and discovered several unauthorized transactions posted to my debit card, with no goods or services attached and no way to contact the companies in question that billed me. I had left my phone at home as there was no way to use it where I was going and left most of my cards as well. I contacted chase to file a fraudulent transaction report and the result is attached. Upon contacting them and asking why my claim was denied they said the activity was consistent with past activity but they wouldn't supply any specific information on the matter as to what that actually meant. I have been doing some research on these companies billing me and identified that they are used for internet gaming and gambling, casino payment processors. I believe one scenario that may have occured is that one of my minor children or family members who were visiting got ahold of my phone and debit card and made the charges ( no one will fess up ). Or someone accessed my digital wallet and was able to make the charges. At any rate I am out nearly XXXX dollars and Chase refuses to look into it due to " past activity ''

To Whom It May Concern, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. 
I am distressed that you have included the information below in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. 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 re-investigated. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 
I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below. 

Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below. 
I demand that the following account be verified or removed immediately : The following account is not mine : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 
Inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX Please remove it from my credit report. 

I respectfully request to be provided proof of these alleged items, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my personal signature. 
Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. This information is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting. Please delete this misleading information and supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last six months, or the last two years for employment purposes. 
Additionally, please provide the name, address, and telephone number of each credit grantor or other subscriber. 
Under federal law, you have thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of your investigation.

I've asked the credit. bureau to disputed these debts that was reported on my credit report the lack of response to my dispute is a violation a 15 U.S. code 1692g which stipulates that debt collectors should provide documentation proving that these are my debts. It's also important to know that reporting of this debt is a blatant violation of the FDCPA 1692g as it was reported to TransUnion even though I did not receive any written notice of it. The reporting of this inaccurate and unverifiable debt and my credit report is also a disregard of FCRA section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ) which requires that only accurate information is sent to the credit bureaus. I have attached the dispute letter that I sent to the Credit Bureau that contains the unverifiable debt that needs to be deleted by the credit bureau.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CO)

I deposited an endorsed check into my bank account which per my banks deposit agreement is allowed. They placed a hold for 10 days to verify the check and funds. The check cleared and then the same morning they restricted my account until the endorser could verify that they indeed gave permission for the check to be deposited in my account. Well the only way they are allowing this verification is via phone number that is registered on a public system. They wouldnt inform me of what system this was. The endorser has a phone line in his name so I am unaware as to why they were not able to find it. When I deposited the check I went into a branch located with the endorser, the teller had not informed me of any of this. I asked if I could go into a branch with the endorser and his Identifications to verify his identity and that he gave me permission to deposit this check but they said they can only verify by phone. After speaking with back office on a recorded line I was told if I can not get my check verified my account will be closed and chase will keep my money. Those were the exact words the customer representative said to me on a recorded line. After going to XXXX  the endorsers phone company to ask if they could help us out his name on a public system so that the number registered under his name we called again to the back office, and I was again told that they could not verify his phone number with his name and told me that I could recall the check from the original bank. I asked the customer representative why they could not call the company that actually wrote the check to verify the phone number for the endorser or verify through employer, she told me thats not something they can do. Chase bank took 10 days to verify the check and took the fund from the bank. The funds are available in my account I am just unable to access them, because of this the original check writer ( which is a payroll company ) is unable to recall the check because chase bank already cashed the check.
