On XX/XX/2020, XXXX XXXX XXXX added a derogatory mark on my credit report per XXXX. Upon further research, this account was transferred/sold and I am no longer responsible for the account. 

They did not verify this collection and there was no written form of communication, contract, or signature for this accused debt at all. A bill without a signature does not validate the debt and anybody can send a bill and say it belongs to me.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ)

Today I was advised by XXXX that Capitalone credit card closed my account. They gave me no notice. Moreover, Im not six payments behind. I ran into issues due unemployment, but paid my bill. I was told it was closed due to returned payments. Its unfair because my payment history reflect that I generally pay my entire balance in full. Its unfair, because today I was actually planning to pay my bill up. Ive been a customer for over one year. I was told nothing could be done. I would have to reapply. I knew people who are six payments behind and they havent closed their account. I feel that I have been retaliated against by my participation in a protective action. I have been unfairly singled out, and targeted. Its strange that now during my litigation of another matter, that my credit card was abruptly closed.

I pen this letter with an overwhelming mix of distress and anger that any person in my situation would feel. I am utterly appalled by the shocking and unjust refusal of my identity theft claims by your bureau, despite the fact that I have provided concrete evidence in the form of both an FTC and a police report. Let 's not mince words here : the fact that you have chosen to ignore my legitimate claims is not only infuriating but also an affront to justice. I have been victimized by identity theft, and the toll it has taken on my life, my financial stability, and my emotional well-being is immeasurable. 
The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and law enforcement agencies have recognized the validity of my claims. I have taken every possible step to follow the proper procedures, and it is inconceivable that your bureau continues to ignore the law and my rights as a victim of identity theft. 
This is the account that I need to be removed : XXXX XXXX XXXX I expect a written acknowledgment of this dispute letter and an immediate commitment to investigate my identity theft claims with the urgency and seriousness they warrant.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

In light of recent developments, it has been brought to my attention that the creditor failed to furnish the required 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have allowed sufficient time for payment processing and thus, prevented any late payments from occurring on these accounts. This oversight has led to a misrepresentation of the payment status, suggesting a billing error on the part of the creditor. 

In response to this discrepancy, I kindly request tangible evidence from the creditor 's bank account, demonstrating any instances of non-payment that purportedly resulted in the reported late status. This evidence is essential for clarifying the circumstances surrounding the alleged late payments and verifying the accuracy of the reported information.
