The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I am submitting to express my urgent concern regarding the handling of fraud-related items on your platform. Recently, I have observed numerous instances of fraudulent listings, which not only undermine the integrity of your service but also pose significant risks to your users. There seems to be a delay in removing these fraudulent items, leaving them accessible to unsuspecting customers for an unacceptable duration. This delay not only erodes trust in your platform but also exposes users to potential financial losses and other harms. I urge you to take immediate action to enhance the efficiency of your fraud detection and removal processes. This may entail investing in improved algorithms for detecting fraudulent listings, increasing the frequency of manual reviews, or implementing stricter verification measures for sellers. Additionally, I recommend establishing clear channels for users to report suspicious activity and ensuring timely responses to these reports. Transparency and accountability are crucial in maintaining the trust of your user base. Failure to promptly address these issues not only reflects poorly on your company but also endangers your users. I implore you to prioritize the safety and security of your platform and to take proactive measures to combat fraud effectively. Furthermore, I am seeking your assistance in removing or correcting the following fraudulent items from my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: U.S. BANCORP (GA)

I applied for a US bank XXXX card XX/XX/XXXX, and activated the card on around XX/XX/XXXX. I am supposed to receive XXXX bonus points after meeting the spending requirement in 3 months. When it was about XX/XX/XXXX, I called the bank and inquiry about my spending and how much time I have to meet the spending requirement, I was told that the time has already passed, but she will talk to a supervisor and let him/her get back to me in 2 days. However, no one called me. After a week, I called in and spoke to a supervisor. At first, she told me that the 3 months starts at the activation date, so I am supposed to have until XX/XX/XXXX to meet the requirement, but since the date still already passed, so she ca n't give me the bonus points, nor give me the extension on that. When I brought out about the misleading information about meeting spending by XX/XX/XXXX from the first agent, the supervisor went back and checked the voice record, and changed her story by saying that it should be XX/XX/XXXX, and stated that I will never have any possibility getting those bonus points! Then I asked to close my account, and I have confirmed with her at least three times that the annual fee charged on the account will be refunded. She confirmed three times that I will receive a refund on annual fee. But it was more than a month, and I did n't receive refund at all. When I left a message on US bank, I received the response that I ca n't get the annual fee back. I ca n't understand why a bank could give so conflicting words all the time, and they do n't hold any responsibility for what they have told their clients!

Further, I certify that I am permitted by FEDERAL and STATE LAW to file this dispute.

Additionally, these misstatements are punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C. 1621. This collection found within my credit report is not related to any transaction that I made. I am alleging that a person or company- without my authorization- used my personal identifying information to apply for goods, services, or money ; and, was successful in creating some accounts.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY)

I have been going through financial difficulties and recently lost my job as well which exacerbated my situation. 
I kindly contacted all of my credit cards asking for some financial releif. 
However Capital One refuses to work with me. The only options they are offering is to lower my monthly payments, but the XXXX causes the monthly interest to be morer than my payment so my debt will just grow. 
I chatted with them on their website multiple times and each time they claim they can not " confirm '' my account information and ask me to call, but when I call they bully me into paying off the amount I can not afford. 
I am willing to work through the whole balance, like I did with other card issuers, just at a payment plan and lower to zero interest on my current balance in order for it to be doable. 
I explained to them I am trying to regain my financial stability but if my payments and interest is too high I will be forced to declare bankruptcy, but the rep on the phone did not care. 
I said I want to close my card but he refused saying it won't help and interest will continue to accrue. 
I am a mother with XXXX young children at home and it is extremely cruel of them to do this, unlike the other card issuers whom were very accommodating. 
I owe {$10000.00} to them and the balance keeps growing
