Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NC)

Dear Capital One, I am writing to you in disbelief that Capital One would deny its legal status as a consumer reporting agency ( CRA ) under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). At this point, your contrary claims can only be characterized as a willful disregard for the unambiguous language and decades of case law interpretation of the FCRA. 

Let me reiterate in full detail exactly how Capital One irrefutably qualifies as a CRA to avoid any possibility of further confusion or misrepresentation on your part : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( f ), a CRA is defined as " any person which, for monetary fees, dues, or on a cooperative nonprofit basis, regularly engages in whole or in part in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information or other information on consumers for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports to third parties. '' It is indisputable that Capital One furnishes consumer credit data, including payment history and account balance information, to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX on a regular basis. Furnishing such consumer reports to credit bureaus is considered " engaging ... in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information ... for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports. '' XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ). 

Further, multiple circuit courts have affirmed that this definition of a CRA includes furnishers of information like XXXX. See, e.g., XXXX v. XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) ; XXXX v. XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ). 

To remove all doubt, the Federal Trade Commission 's ( FTC ) official commentary on the FCRA definition of a CRA explicitly states that furnishers of information, such as creditors, landlords, and employers, meet the definition : " they are CRAs and they must comply with all applicable requirements imposed by the FCRA and its implementing regulations. '' 16 CFR Part 600, Appendix. 

The inescapable truth is that by furnishing consumer data to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, XXXX XXXX in every sense " regularly engages in whole or in part in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information... for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports '' and thus qualifies unequivocally as a CRA under 1

5 U.S.C. 1681a ( f ) with all attendant legal duties.

To continue denying this legal reality exposes Capital One to serious liability, including potential FTC enforcement actions and class action lawsuits. I urge you again to acknowledge the facts and remedy your non-compliance without further delay. My detailed outline of the law leaves no room remaining for doubt or excuse. Please advise how you intend to properly address my dispute in accordance with your FCRA obligations as a CRA.

XX/XX/2021 XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, MD XXXX Telephone No. XXXX Consumer Finance Protection Board RE : PNC Bank, COMPLAINT ID XXXX Dear, CFPB Manager, This complaint has been filed before, but the cfpb did not require the merchant to provide disclosures given at time of application, nor required an explanation as to whether a layman, like myself was fully and substantially explained the hard vs soft injury and how it would affect his credit rating. 

I just telephoned PNC Bank on yesterday, dispute transaction I have not received yet. I informed her that she was supposed to send me and cfpb copy of aforementioned disclosures given to me. I have not gotten it yet. It should be noted that credit reporting Agencies has made hundreds of errors, this article highlights during XXXX, but I sincerely believe the problem has always existed. See link and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Also, the merchant has not provided at the time of application any details on how a layman/consumer, like myself, were verbally given a sufficient explanation on the destination between a hard vs soft pulling of my credit report and how it would affect my crediting ;, or in the alternative any affividits of all decision makers on this decision not remove the trade line from my CR. Cfpb just accepted and closed my complaint. It seems that cfpb accepted the merchant explanation is final and no independent party makes the decision in the process. This violates my Constituational right to due process.

Respectfully XXXX XXXX

Company: Law Offices Howard Lee Schiff, P.C. (ME)

I am a XXXX  XXXX that was tasked with performing a sale closing on property in XXXX, Maine. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) had sued the seller for its client creditor and recorded a judgment lien at the county registry of deeds. I picked up the lien in the title search then contacted XXXX to get a payoff, which they provided. The closing was on XX/XX/ 2021 and I collected the lien payoff amount from the seller 's proceeds and paid XXXX the amount on the payoff statement. The check cleared on XXXX XXXX, 2021. In my cover letter to XXXX, I requested that they issue a release of the lien in recordable form so I could record it at the county registry of deeds and clear the title to the property. They have ignored my repeated requests to issue a release. 
This is a serious matter because if the new owner who purchased the property wants to refinance or sell, they won't be able to because XXXX ignores its duty to issue a recordable release.

I included copies of the text I received and a copy of a police report I made in XXXX XXXX. ( attached ) My financial advisor relayed to me that some of my private information may have been exposed. I am presently working with a fraud prevention agency at the expense of my financial institution. In a letter to me ( attached ) Citicard maintains that because a card with a chip was used, and I had my card in my possession, they do not consider any of these purchases to be fraudulent. However, they have not shown me any receipts with my signature on them or any photographic evidence that I appeared at any of these places at the time of the purchase. They did not notify me when they finished investigating. I found out because I made a telephone call to them. I consider their behavior to be grossly irresponsible and careless. The phone number to reach them is on the letter and I will repeat it here : XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX  I was given a new Citicard account that ends in XXXX. The name on the card is XXXX XXXX. Last four SS digits : XXXX Note : The police report was filed for continued fraudulent activity in the XXXX XXXX and XXXX, CA area in XXXX, XXXX, involving my XXXX Credit Card, but not Citicard.

I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items on my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or i will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.
