Issue: Opening an account — Account opened as a result of fraud
Company: U.S. BANCORP (WA)

XX/XX/XXXX received notification that a XXXX XXXX  was opened on my US bank account. 

Immediately, I contacted the bank to inform them that this was fraud and I did not open this account. 

My state of domicile is Washington XXXX. This fraudulent account was associated with an address in Illinois, of which I have no association. 

The bank assured me that the account was frozen and they were working to resolve the issue. They told me they heightened the security on my account, requiring additional identification for any account action. 

The account remained ( and remains ) open. Upon attempts to contact the bank, I was left on XXXX XXXX hour long holds and advised to call back later. This cycle continued. 

XX/XX/XXXX - I received notice that XXXX safe debit account application had been submitted under my account. I once again did not apply for this card. Efforts to contact the bank once again were in void. I am currently geographical unable to access the banking branch in person. 

Both of these XXXX safe debit accounts were opened fraudulently, without my knowledge or consent. I wish to have them both closed immediately. Efforts to express this to the banking branch have been fruitless. I am unable to contact them the majority of the time, and when I get in contact they assure me it takes a while.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX someone hacked into my account and charged almost {$1000.00} worth of merchandise. They were able to change my address, phone number and email. Kohls company finally caught on when this person tried to up my credit. That day when Kohls called me to verify if it was not me, I opened a fraud claim. The company informed me it would take 60 days for the claim to get handled. Every week I call to see if the claim has been resolved, every week the fraud department informs me how they made a mistake and now they have to open a new claim and the time has been extended. First mistake was they dismissed the claim because they were able to cancel some of the charges. The second mistake was they did not include all the charges. I have even sent an email to the fraud department with my police report. Now it has been over two months and my credit has been impacted by their negligence.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (MO)

This is in regards to a Late Payment Dispute for DISCOVER BANK XXXX Credit Card. My credit report shows a 30 day past due payment on XX/XX/XXXX for this account. Per my Statement attachment, this is incorrect. A payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX and made on XX/XX/XXXX. There was an interruption in the auto-pay which is why there was a few day delay in payment ( not 30 days ) and why the late charge was refunded. 

I also called Discover customer service on the week of XX/XX/XXXX and confirmed this with a customer service representative as well as an escalations manager. There is no 30 day late payment in their system, all payments are shown as on time.

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NV)

I have a Capital One Venture X card. My rolling cycle starts XXXX of every month. I am enrolled in the autopayment program on the XXXX of each month. 

In XX/XX/2023, I decided to pay the balance ( {$12000.00} ), that would be due on XX/XX/XXXX, a bit early on XX/XX/XXXX since my balance was high due to some big purchases ( heard somewhere carrying a high balance was not good for my credit rating ). 

I did not do anything about the autopay option since I assumed I would be billed {$0.00}. 

However, on XX/XX/XXXX, CapitalOne extracted {$4900.00} from my checking account which is a balance of transactions between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Normally, this would be among the balance that would be due XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am outraged that a credit company would extract money out of me before it's due. Capital one states it's in their policy, but there is a big flaw in that the description of " statement balance '' does not define it leads to prepaying. They are penalizing consumers for paying early, thus loss in interests. I have not experienced this in other credit card companies I have used. 

Thank you for your consideration. 
Best regards, XXXX XXXX

I looked at my reports and saw that XXXX XXXX is reporting an inaccurate charged off account on my credit reports. I have been disputing this account for some time and was able to get this account successfully disputed from XXXX in XXXX of 2022. On top of getting this account deleted I have also found that each bureau is reporting multiple inconsistencies concerning this account on my reports. If all three bureaus get their information from the same place then how are they all coming up with different information including multiple account numbers for the same account? Its obvious that my disputes are not being processed correctly and no proper investigation has been completed concerning this account. This account was also reinserted into my reports by XXXX back fin XXXX of 2022. Per the FCRA, I am to be notified by writing that an account will be reinserted on to my reports 5 days before it is reporting. I never received ANY type of communication stating as such. As a consumer I expect to that the credit bureaus will report accurate information on my reports and properly acknowledge my disputes but its concerning that they are all able to ignore the law and no action is being taken. I am demanding that this account Is deleted as they are not in compliance with reporting on this account.
