XX/XX/2023 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 accounts 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 : 1. These inquiries were not authorized.

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 re-investigation.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CO)

My husband and I applied for a Mortgage Loan with Capital One in response to a " Paradise '' promotion we received on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The promotion was for existing Capital One Venture credit card customers, and promised XXXX bonus miles if we refinanced our mortgage with Capital One. We proceeded with the refinance, making sure to reference the promotion with our loan specialist many times to ensure we would receive the promised reward. We closed our loan on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and the loan funded several days after. The fine print of the promotion stated that the XXXX points would be deposited into our account within 60 days of the loan funding. As of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, the promised points have not been deposited. We followed up with our loan specialist on XXXX XXXX, which was beyond the 60 days promised. We received a response on XXXX XXXX that we would see the points on our XXXX statement. On XXXX XXXX, we received our XXXX statement but the points were not deposited. Our loan specialist appears to be doing what he can to make sure Capital One complies with their promotion, but unfortunately Capital One has failed to deliver what they promised. The promotion was the main reason we chose to refinance with Capital One, and feel that we were deceived by the company.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I've had a credit freeze with all three credit bureaus for years. I recently had to do a temporary unfreeze with Experian. In the past this was simple. However, this time I had to create an account with them and prove some personal information. I reluctantly did so because I had no other choice. 

Now I get constant emails from them including trying to sell me things, and stuff like telling me that my credit balance has changed. Of course it's changed. I pay monthly. Everyone 's balance changes monthly. I don't need that. It doesn't even say " your balance has changed ''. It says " you have a new credit alert '', like some sort of slimy business tactic. You know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, and they know it's wrong, but someone how they're able to get away with it. 

There is no option to unsubscribe from these emails. Believe me, I've checked, but there is no " unsubscribe '' option at the bottom. I tried to log in manually to see if there was an option to opt out from there, but it solicited even more information from me. I do not want a business relationship with this company. I only deal with them because some power that be decided they got to have my financial information. I want them to stop, and I can't without giving them even more information.
