Consumer complaint received 03/14/2017 about Credit card () with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (ME).
Issue: Other

Complaint: Beginning in XXXX of XX/XX/2016 I submitted several letters to all XXXX credit reporting agencies. Each time I have received different responses. I asked that the account be removed or at least put into dispute within 30 days of the letter as required by law. Not only was this not done, I was declared dead by the credit card company, then told I was alive, and then told there was never an issue about my death and therefore the matter was not in dispute any longer. I resubmitted letters in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX and each of them had to address a different issue. First they said they could n't find a record of my account. Then they said I owed the money and finally they went back to saying they could n't find the account. However, there has never been a dispute placed on any of my credit files and as such, I believe these cards and the negative reports should be simply removed.
