I am very distressed that you have STILL included the below information in my credit profile which is creating damaging effects on my good credit standing. No doubt the inclusion of this inaccurate information is a mistake on your part. Under Section 614, restrictions on investigative consumer reports [ 15 U.S.C. 1681l ], you only restrict to investigate my personal file if no adverse information in my report ( other than information which is a matter of public record ) may be included in a subsequent consumer report unless such adverse information has been verified in the process of making such subsequent consumer report, or the adverse information was received within the three-month period preceding the date the subsequent report is furnished. REPAIR or CORRECT these items that caused me so much stress.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

XX/XX/2022 - I applied for a Capital One Savory Card, but the application was denied at the time of applying. 
XX/XX/2022 - I realized my XXXX credit report was frozen ; at this time, I scheduled a thaw for XXXX hours to end on XX/XX/2022. 
XX/XX/2022 - I contacted Capital One asking if the denial reason was because of my XXXX report being frozen. The customer service agent could not give me an answer. Shortly after the call, I received an email from Capital One stating why my application was denied. The denial reason states, " Capital One account credits limits are too high '' XX/XX/2022 - I called back into Capital One to ask about the denial reason, I was told that I needed to contact the credit bureaus to get an explanation of my denial reason. I asked to speak to a manager to inform them that I did not understand my denial reason because I do not have a high credit limit, and my credit card balance is only {$50.00}. As a consumer and a long-time customer of Capital One, I am disappointed in the discrimination, unjust, and fiduciary action that has been shown to me during this process. Per Capital One 's denial letter, they pulled credit reports from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I informed the manager that this was impossible because my XXXX and XXXX credit reports were and are frozen at the time of the application. The manager asked if I would like for her to run the application once again. But, the damage was done. Capital One blatantly provided false and incorrect information to me regarding my application. Capital One blatantly denied my application for fiduciary reasons. Per FDIC Section 1002.6, a creditor shall not use credit information against an applicant to discriminate against the applicant. 
Per the CCPA, I, as a consumer, should be protected from Capital One 's harmful acts.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the handling of my disputes regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite sending disputes to XXXX, XXXX, and Experian outlining specific violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have yet to receive any response from your agencies after over 30 days. Enclosed are copies of all letters previously sent for your reference.

It is evident that your company has blatantly disregarded the mandates of the FCRA. Specifically, you have violated FCRA 623 ( a ) b ) by neglecting to label the disputed account as such, thereby perpetuating the erroneous reporting.

Furthermore, the provisions of FCRA 605 ( c ) have also been egregiously flouted. The reporting period continues to run despite the account 's last activity date being incorrectly reported. This misleading representation fails to reflect the actual date of payment cessation, thus unfairly impacting my creditworthiness.

In addition to FCRA violations, your persistent failure to validate the collection account constitutes a clear breach of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 809b, as confirmed by the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) opinion.

It is imperative that you promptly address these violations and rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. Failure to do so will leave me no choice but to pursue legal action to enforce my rights under federal law.

On XX/XX/20, I discovered 2 suspicious pending transactions that occurred on XX/XX/20 & XX/XX/20 on my Target MasterCard & another transaction that went through from same vendor, XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/20 for around {$68.00}. I called Target XXXX customer service and spoke to XXXX ; therefore, my account was closed and I was issued a new card. The pending transactions did not go through and I was refunded the {$68.00}. However, I was waiting for a refund from XXXX for XXXX. I checked my XXXX account on XX/XX/20 and the refund was issued into XXXX store credit. I spoke to XXXX on XX/XX/20 and told him that I would like the refund back on my Target MasterCard. I spoke to XXXX from Target on XX/XX/20 and I was told that it would take 3-5 business days to show on my new Target MasterCard. However, this did not happen and I have been calling back and forth from XXXX to Target. XXXX from XXXX emailed me on XX/XX/20 that the refund has already been issued back on my card but Target has not posted it yet on my new MasterCard account. I was told by XXXX from Target on XX/XX/20 that it is showing on the old account on XX/XX/20. Then he transferred me to speak to XXXX who told me that I would have to wait 60 to 90 days for my refund because my old account is under fraud investigation. This does not make any sense why my refund needs to be under investigation. I feel that Target is ignoring me and making excuses not to give me back my refund. I also feel that I am have been taken advantage of. My experience with Target XXXX  is awful and I am not getting anywhere talking to them. I still have not received my refund. Please help me get my refund back and resolve this problem with Target as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration.
