Consumer complaint received 2022-10-25
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (SC)

Around or before XX/XX/2020 I started receiving emails stating that I had outstanding approval odds for credit cards from XXXX XXXX and Capital One. Since XX/XX/2020 I have applied more than maybe 20 times and has gotten denied every time. There is no law that requires me to have an actual credit score to obtain a credit card. Credit is defined as the right granted however, Capital One discriminated against me by having harmful policies set in place to keep minorities at a disadvantage. This caused multiple inquiries on my consumer report that I did not benefit from. Furthermore, Capital One and XXXX XXXX made several inquiries on myconsumerreport causingmy score and credit report to be damaged.I now reject your many adverse action and denial offers. I am covered and 100 % protected as a consumer.WHY do these companies feel I do not qualify? Because I'm XXXXXXXX XXXX? I have reason to believe that these companies are converting my application ( XXXX ) into currency by selling my nonpublic information. XXXX XXXX and Capital One are obtaining my nonpublic personal information to benefit financially rather than honoring an extension of credit in good faith. In reality, this constitutes aggravated identity theft.The several denials Capital One offered violates 15 USC 1602 and and 15 USC 1691. Capital One harmful application and/or underwriting discriminates against the low-income community.These companies knowingly execute these deceptivepractices keepingminorities at a disadvantage. I was supposed to receive an explanation as to how to opt out of reporting these negative marks. I have not received that explanation. XXXXam unable to obtain an automobile or mortgage for my family due to a damaged credit report. Furthermore, I am discouraged toeven apply for a line of credit due toCapital One and XXXX XXXX, dishonest, and false actions. Preapproved should mean just as it sounds Approved before applying! Telling consumers they have outstanding odds when they dont is deceptive and misleading!! XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are not to be excluded from my complaint either. These three companies also used my credit report improperly by allowing XXXX XXXX and Capital One to furnish fraudulent inquries on more than one occasion when they knew or should have known that I would not benefit from the transaction, again causing my report to be damaged as well. The national consumer reporting agencies also should have known that this was a deceptive prace when there was a 0 accounts opened by the companies that requested my report. All companies mentioned in this complaint lack integrity! I am an honest consumer who does not deserve to be mistreated for these companies to benefit a few dollars. I should not be discriminated against based off the XXXX of my XXXX or any other financial hardship I have experienced because EVERYONE falls on hard times. I am filing this complaint to ensure accountability because I strongly believe these companies benefited from these transactions when I did not in any way.
