Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ)

Experian has been giving me a tuff time on the website I was unable to switch to the basic plan, I paid the {$24.00} to view my account to check for my disputes because it wouldn't let me switch to the basic account. after doing so I received this email saying " We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. According to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, " '' if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a national consumer credit reporting company is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the company directly of such dispute, the company shall reinvestigate free of charge. '' '' I am well aware of Experian Stall Tactic I am aware of your attempts to delay the processing of many consumer 's disputes and challenges based on your belief that some consumers are working with a third-party such as a credit repair company. Your delay is illegal, as it is the right of all consumers to work with such a company if they so choose, and you have no legal basis for delaying the processing of those letters.

However, let me make it clear that my letters using were created using applicable software and regulations available to ALL consumers, and that this is your notice that any delay in the processing of my letters is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i, which sets forth the procedure in which a Consumer Reporting Agency must investigate a consumer 's reasonable dispute, and lists out the exceptions, and will be considered willful disregard of my rights as a consumer and will be forwarded to my attorney for litigation purposes. There is no such exception that would legally allow you to delay the processing of a consumer 's letters to you based on an unfounded assumption that assistance from a third party may exist.

Please be advised that any and all letters you receive bearing my name have either been prepared by me or by my advisors on my behalf with my full knowledge and consent. Also be advised that I am aware that no statute in the FCRA suggests that a Power of Attorney must be provided to you, or that without said Power of Attorney documentation you are allowed to delay the processing of a consumer 's letters to you.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NC)

On XX/XX/2020 I applied for a credit limit increase online, to which I was marketed for. On XX/XX/2020 that same credit limit increase request was denied. Letter states that Capital One attempted to contact me to resolve a consumer alert on my credit report on XX/XX/2020. Of which no actual attempt was made. No voice mails, letters, or email 's to show that capital one was attempting to contact me. Which is concerning as a consumer that someone might have access to my account and no one is actually verifying this request if it was in fact myself that made the request for the credit limit increase. I re apply for the same credit limit increase on XX/XX/2020 to find out that I am now denied due to " Low account usage '' I've had the same usage as the previous months, and I was marketed for this credit limit increase. I feel mislead and unprotected as a consumer.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

Capital One has begun charging a {$39.00} " annual membership fee '' on my Platinum Credit Card. When I applied for the card, I specifically chose the Platinum card due to the lack of annual fee. On all promotional materials, the Platinum card is listed as having " {$0.00} annual fee '' and in terms and conditions on their website, the {$39.00} " annual membership fee '' is not disclosed. A yearly " membership fee '' IS an annual fee. This is unethical and misleading conduct and I am not the first customer to have experienced this confusion at being charged an annual fee. If Capital One is going to charge an annual membership fee, the {$39.00} should be listed as an annual fee in their Product Terms & Conditions immediately.
