My issue is with the " XXXX '' web site, which is broken. After submitting all my sensitive information ( i.e., every field is populated ), plus the correct " captcha '' box entry, the form just moves to the top, with no fields highlighted that any information is missing. ( i.e., the " Submit '' button is not working. ) Going to the " Contact Us '' page on this site yields only a snail-mail address at one of the credit bureaus. No phone number to reach a real person ; no email address ; no chat.

This is yet another case of the credit bureaus making it as difficult as possible for consumers to exercise their rights under the various laws and regulations supposedly governing this industry.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

On XX/XX/2023, I sent a letter to the three credit bureaus concerning several accounts that were fraudulently reported and must be removed from my credit report. Unfortunately, I have not received any response from the credit bureaus so far. According to the 15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2, a consumer reporting agency is required to block the reporting of any information in a consumer 's file that the consumer identifies as resulting from alleged identity theft within four business days of receiving such information. It has now been 30 days, and the credit bureaus are in clear violation of this law, as I am a victim of identity theft. 

I urgently request the immediate deletion of these fraudulent accounts from my consumer report. These accounts should not be furnished on my report, as they are in direct violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, the permissible purposes of consumer reports do not apply in this situation, as I never provided any written consent to any consumer reporting agency to report such information on my consumer report. This lack of consent constitutes identity theft, and it is my right as a consumer to have these accounts removed immediately. 

I expect prompt action on this matter to rectify the violation of my rights as per the law. Your cooperation in resolving this issue promptly will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Capital One Auto Loan was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter from Capital One Auto Finance confirming the pay-off on XX/XX/XXXX and received a refund for around {$40.00} a few weeks later. My registration in XXXX reflected that the lien holder of Capital One was removed. I also received the title slip to my car. The problem arises XX/XX/XXXX when I received an email from Capital One Auto Finance stating that I owed {$12000.00}. I first thought that this was a scam and found my notes which had the contact number for Capital One and immediately contacted that number. I spoke with several of their representatives, who confirmed that their system had me owing the above mentioned amount. I read to them the letter that I received and the fact that I had been given my Title Slip to my car. I was told that I would have to call back in 3 to 5 days because they could not reach the back room. They would let me know what I owed. The representative failed to asked me to fax or email any information that I have to confirm my inquiry.
