Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts, or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA the 3 credit bureaus are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$370.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$770.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$200.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX XX/XX/2019 ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MO XXXX ; If the 3 credit bureaus feel there is a possibility these items belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each item is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If the 3 credit bureaus do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (VA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I tried to make a purchase at Macy 's XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX using my XXXX Macy 's charge account. The saleswoman checked my account and said that it was blocked because I had not used the card in 8 months. Since the card does not expire until XX/XX/XXXX, I questioned her, but she insisted that I need to re-enter all my information using their keypad to unblock the account. She said I would receive a letter in about a week with instructions. I used another credit card for the purchase. On XX/XX/XXXX I called the number on the back of my XXXX card to check on progress ( XXXX ). The gentleman who answered said that the account had never been blocked, my credit was fine, and I could use the card anytime. He had received an application filed in my name for a new account which we cancelled. I asked him to file a complaint- he said he would submit a general complaint to the store. I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX from Macy 's informing me that they could not open a new account because of the credit freeze I had put on my accounts. I put a credit freeze on my accounts several years ago because of all the identity theft. My complaint is that the saleswoman lied to me about the status of my account and tricked me into applying for a new account.

Also you reported that I owe a debt, but nowhere on my credit report do I see a negative balance, ( I don't see a negative sign in front of any numbers, only positive ). By telling me I owe a debt, but reporting positive balance to my credit report is very deceptive.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY)

Capital One Bank ( USA ) , N.A . ( " the Bank '' ) is engaging in unfair, deceptive, abusive acts and practices by violating my rights under the account holder agreement for my Capital One Visa Platinum account. I recently relocated to a new state and updated my billing information with the Bank. Apparently this modification triggered a fraud alert in their system, which prevents me from accessing any account information ; information I need to remit payments and review ( 1 ) my balance, ( 2 ) account activity, including debits and credits, and ( 3 ) a copy of my rights under the account holder agreement. At the encouragement of the Bank, I foolishly enrolled in online statements, I do n't receive paper statements regularly. As a result, this system that is now prohibiting my access is my only source of this data. 

While I am not particularly concerned about ever using this account to make purchases again, I believe that Capital One is violating a number of consumer protection laws by not sharing my current balance or transaction data with me until I produce an onerous amount of documentation to prove who I am ( apparently the multiple telephone identity verification processes and desire to pay my bill are not sufficient proof of who I am ). The Bank does not have the authority to make such a demand or, if they do, I would n't know because I am unable to access a copy of my account holder agreement to review my rights. 

A large bank like Capital One should know that there are many identity verification services such as XXXX XXXX or even the USPS change of address system that would provide ample proof to the Bank of who I am and that I relocated. 

This action may be pervasive and affecting consumers at large. I encourage the CFPB to issue a Civil Investigatory Demand ( CID ) to the Bank to determine whether or not this is a widespread issue. This fraud block prevents a consumer from accessing information needed in order to pay their bill, potentially causing severe harm to consumers. I believe that this demonstrates, at best, willful neglect on the part of Capital One Bank who would certainly continue to charge additional interest and late penalties, furnish data to credit reporting agencies or charge off this account should I fail to remit regular payment on this account. 

Other, more responsible financial institutions, have implemented effective alternative methods to ensure that accounts with suspected fraudulent activity do not incur additional charges while still allowing the account holder to access relevant data about their account. 

I was able to obtain an unverified total current balance from the fraud manager who I spoke with after I was told it was a violation of their policy/procedure to provide this information to me. I have remitted a payment for this full amount to the Bank, although I have not had an opportunity to review the transactions which make up this balance.
