Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Collection Bureau of America Ltd.

Complaint:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Other problem
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint:
We had a charge, last month from a company called " XXXX XXXX '' that charged our card. What was strange is that we hadn't done any business with XXXX XXXX for nearly 7 years. In that time my credit card number had changed a number of times and they had the most recent number, which I most certainly did not give them. We did dispute the charge and ultimately, it was resolved, however, how did they get the number? 

In an effort to stop these sorts of charges and to get ahead of vendors that had our cards on file for auto-pay during the pandemic, we cancelled our old card and issued a new one. On XXXX, I noticed that a remarkable number of our vendors HAD OUR NEW CARD NUMBER and their charges went through even though we had not given them the new card numbers! On XX/XX/2020 at roughly XXXX XXXX I called Capital One and spoke to a representative there. 

I was told that Visa, the organization that manages my card, has an agreement with certain vendors where they are given access to my new credit card number as a COURTESY TO THE VENDOR! I was shocked. I was told that I would have to negotiate WITH EACH VENDOR to get them to remove the auto update clause from the contract if I wanted to opt out of this program. 

At no time was I presented with ANYTHING that outlined this " service '' or required my expressed authorization to enable it on my account. If I did, it was not marked clearly or done fairly. 

There was one option, which I opted for, I had to lock my credit card for all charges and then add new accounts to a new card one at a time, which is a stop gap but the amount of charges that hit my card will have a significant impact on on my cash flow in these coming months. 

As a small business I should have the flexibility in determining who gets paid when, not VISA.

On XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2023, and XX/XX/2023. 

I reviewed my credit reports, and noticed quite a few inaccuracies. I sent out dispute letters to all 3 credit bureaus, advising of the negative, inaccurate items. I have not received any responses to my request, nor have the bureaus removed the inaccurate items. It is well past the 30 days according to the FCRA that is the amount of time they have to provide a response. Clearly this is a violation.
