Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IN)

While assigned a fiduciary when deemed incompetent there were account that seem to have been opened and paid for out of his best interest by the assigned fiduciary in the fiduciary 's best interest with the permission or consult of Mr. XXXX or the VA authority HUB itself. Attached you will notice a list of debts that are required at the beginning and end of a fiduciary 's duty that shows the bills that are being paid and outstanding so that the VA know the circumstances of the veteran for the oncoming fiduciary. You will notice that the debts being contested or disputed are not listed on this legal document due to the fact that the legal fiduciary opened these accounts fraudulently and was keeping them hidden from the VA, but was still paying them out of the veterans ( Mr. XXXX ) bank account, which was not in his best interest. That is why to some creditors it looks like it was indeed the veteran that opened them and paid out of his account, but in fact he had no control over his finances and his fiduciary was the one opening accounts without his knowledge and permission and illegally, and it shows deceit by not even informing the VA with the bills report while doing so. After years of treatment and rehab Mr. XXXX was able to get to a status where he was able to learn and gain his memory and other things back. at this time he quickly got divorced when he noticed things were happening that should not be and after some time researching what has been going on with things and looking at his records and files, which took some time he realized what was and wasn't his and now is able to start managing his own finances which is document is these attachments. After realizing that he was paying bills for things that was not even his responsibility he realized something needed done and that is why we are where we are today writing this complaint. He has tried many avenues to get these issues fixed, but has gotten anywhere except harassed and accused of many horrible things by the customers service reps from these credit card agencies and it's about time that they correct the issues they have put him through and more! This isn't how we treat war veterans that come back to the USA with XXXX  then get taken advantage of by an evil person and then have to deal with even more inconsiderate humans while trying to get things fixed, its a disgrace that someone has to deal with this much XXXX in their life over fighting for their country. there are plenty of attachments to support these facts, and please understand what a fiduciary is since most people dont and think that if someone is deemed incompetent they must have a XXXX, that is incorrect when it comes to federal monies so please make sure your very versed in your knowledge when responding and trying to make more accusations as expected like other times instead of accepting the truth.

This problem began last year towards the end of XXXX. I saw my score drop almost XXXX points & knew something was wrong. Our mortgage company had falsely reported us missing a payment, so now I had an account in delinquency & for the first time ever : less than 100 % payment history. Immediately, we tried disputing this bc we knew it was incorrect. We got married last year, earlier in that same month, and we were actually ahead on our mortgage cause we paid more than we needed to that month or the month before ( just to be safe, since weddings can get expensive ). Neither the credit reporting agencies or our mortgage company have taken this error off my report since it happened, even though we have confirmed with our mortgage company that we didn't miss any payments & that our account is up to date. They've made this mistake multiple times since then, so much so, it now shows up as 3 missed/late payments. Since this happened last year, I've lost upwards of $ XXXX in credit card limits bc they would check my report, see the " delinquency '' and lower my limit, then my score would lower bc my utilization was higher ( due to the lower limit ) & when they'd check again routinely, they'd see lower score + " delinquency '' still & lower my limit AGAIN. I've been stuck in the financially debilitating cycle for over a year now & disputed time & time again thru XXXX XXXX with XXXX & equifax- no one will correct the errors. We have spoken to our mortgage company so many times now about this issue & I still can not understand why they won't correct their own error since our account is in good standing/we 're ahead on our loan/etc.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NV)

I have tried to dispute through the proper channel but with no satisfaction. Starting with certified mail : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The credit bureau XXXX, Experian, and XXXX didn't address the reinvestigation policy and laws. The stamp of approval for the reinvestigation was not on the conclusion. The stamp is ACDV ( automatic credit dispute verification ) meaning when you send a dispute to the credit bureau electronically Oscar will get the dispute and send it out to the creditors being disputed. Oscar also stamps the dispute to the creditor. In return they have to verify 100 % of all information is correct. Without this stamp from Oscar, this investigation is illegal.

My next phase of action is Pre-litigation for all infractions on my credit report. I am looking for a lawyer who can take on my case.
