Consumer complaint received 10/26/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: I do NOT have a signed contract nor any contract with Capital One. I have never done business with this company. They failed to provide me with a signed contract that validates them to collect this debt. I am not liable for these collections. I should not be responsible for a debt that I did not do. I am a victim of identity theft and I had to submit a police report and FTC affidavits the credit bureau for proof that my identity was stolen and these companies are still is saying that I owe them. My next steps will be to get an attorney and sue because they are calling me after a do not call letter had been sent. They are destroying my credit with this false accusation of this account. I sent them a letter requesting proof any contracts, signatures, a copy of my id anything that shows I opened these accounts and all they sent me was a bill which only shows me that someone went shopping.

Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint: My loan with Navient started around  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  and after a year of payments with a lack of clear information, I got fed up with the truth and completed my last payment on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX .   All my statements were unclear on my balance, my interest amount, and how my money would be distributed within my loan.

Consumer complaint received 10-03-2017 about Debt collection (I do not know) with PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (CO).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: I have contacted Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC about a debt from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX about a merchant debt that they say I owe to XXXX. It appears that this company Portfolio has purchased the debt but I have entered into no legal binding contractual agreement with them and they are harassing for {$XXXX} and I DO NOT OWE Them this. 
I have asked them several times to supply me the written SIGNED contractual agreement with them and XXXX showing my signature on any agreement and they WILL not or CAN NOT supply me with that. They simply send me copies of bills or statements and this does not constitute any kind of validation of this debt being mine. Statements and Bills do not show proof of ownership. They recently sent me a letter stating that I do not have a right to challenge their stance and that any written letter to them will be ignored and considered answered already. The burden of proof is on them to show that I am the legal owner of this account that they purchased. Unfortunately they are a 3rd part collection agency that purchase the debt from XXXX but that does not legally give them the right to try to collect from me as I HAVE NO CONTRACT with them. I am DEMANDING proof of ownership, and the only way to show that is to show my signature on an agreement between me and XXXX. SIMPLY sending me copies of bills or statements does not prove your position that the account is mine and that I owe this debt.

Consumer complaint received 10-07-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (CA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I requested my credit report from Equifax and Experian around XXXX XXXX, XXXX. In the reports from Equifax and Experian, I found several mistakes : 1, In both, there are two XXXX credit cards but only one is actually mine. 
2, In Experian, there are two reported names but I only use one name. 
3, In both, there are several addresses that I have never lived in. 
4, In Experian, there is also a phone number that I never heard of. 
The firs issue terrifies me. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX and they confirmed that there is only one card associated with my social and name. Somewhat relieved, I filed two disputes with Equifax and XXXX in hope that they can figure out this mistake. I was pretty sure this is due to mistakes of Equifax and XXXX  because that credit card did not even appear in my XXXX credit report! 

However, when I received the dispute results on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was shocked. Both companies told me that they thought the report was accurate and the XXXX credit card that is not mine will remain in my credit report. 

So I called XXXX XXXX XXXX again yesterday ( XXXX XXXX ) and they ( very helpful and friendly ) confirmed that I only have one credit card with them and I am not a co-signer/co-borrower/guarantor for any other accounts. However, they can not take further steps to investigate this issue because I can not provide them the full account number of that suspicious credit card. I could only see the partial account number, not full account number in my report. Unless experian/equifax provided me the full account number of that suspicious credit card, XXXX can not do anything at that point. 

Thus, I called Experian today to ask for : 1, Full account number of that suspicious XXXX credit card. 
2, If that 's not possible, I want to have more information about the reinvestigation on how they conclude that credit card, which is clearly not mine, should remain in my credit report. 
But the customer service was not helpful at all. He first said he can not provide me the full account number. Then when I asked him to explain the reinvestigation process, he became super rude and avoided answering my question at all. Instead, he kept telling me I need to contact XXXX to solve the problem, not XXXX. When I asked him what is his name and employee ID, he hung up my call without a clue. 

Therefore, the current situation is a deadlock to me because XXXX/Equifax would not fix the obvious identity theft problem in my credit report and XXXX will not be able to help me unless I provided them with full account number which I can not get from XXXX/Equifax.

Consumer complaint received 10/19/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (NV).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: I dispute this debt belongs to me so I repeatedly requested validation.

Consumer complaint received 04/25/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CA).
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint: On   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    , my friend and I were passengers on  XXXX  flight #  XXXX . This flight was from  XXXX   XXXX  to  XXXX  and was booked through  XXXX . We purchased  XXXX  seats and once on the airplane, we inquired as to availability and the cost of upgrading to  Business se ats. The flight attendant told us there was available seating and the cost would be  XXXX . We verified the price again, and the broken English speaking flight attendant assured us the cost was  XXXX  Dollars. We gave our credit cards and moved into the upgraded seats.     Several hours later, after meal service, the lights were dimmed for resting passengers. At this time the flight attendant presented the credit card slip for me to sign. The receipt was for {$300.00}, which appeared to be for both myself and my friend who was sleeping. I asked about my friends credit card and the attendant, who spoke terrible  XXXX , indicated she would return with it later.     While I was away from my seat, my friend awoke and was presented with her credit card and slip for signature. She also thought the {$300.00} was for both of us. When I returned to the seat, we discussed that we had both been charged for  XXXX  upgrades and asked the flight attendant for an explanation. A different flight attendant came to us and explained that there was a miscommunication and the charge was not {$150.00}, but {$1500.00}! We were very upset as the original attendant stated the charge was  XXXX   XXXX , never did she say anything remotely resembling  XXXX   XXXX  or    XXXX   XXXX  ,    XXXX   XXXX  . After much back and forth discussion with the flight attendants, we were assured it was their error and we would not be charged. Several weeks later, both my credit card bill my friends arrived, each with a charge of {$1400.00} for the upgrade.     This flight was booked on a domestic airline, leaving from a  US l ocation. All flight attendants should have full command of the English language and be capable of properly explaining to passengers all policies, procedures and pricing. Additionally, all charges shou ld be in US Dollars  unless clearly explained. To expect otherwise would be unethical and unsafe.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I have called the creditors on them and the creditors have advised the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) - Balance {$210.00} XXXX has advised that the account does not belong to me.

Consumer complaint received 06/14/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with CITIBANK, N.A. (CT).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: Hi - I am writing to complain about false advertising regarding a promotion to open a CitiGold Checking account. In XXXX I was offered a promotion via mail that I would receive XXXX AA Advantage Points ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is worth around {$500.00} ) if I opened a CitiGold Checking account using code XXXX which was entered upon opening the account online. After enrolling with the promotion code, I contacted Citi and received confirmation that the offer was attached to my account. I then met the requirements that I spend {$1000.00} in purchases during first 60 days and set up XXXX qualifying Bill Pay. 

I also confirmed with Citi representatives both that I met qualifications to be enrolled in the offer ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) and that I had completed the requirements and should be receiving the points within 90 days of completing the requirements ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). I have PDF 'd records of these chat conversations but threw out the original targeted offer. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I reached out via chat saying that my points have not posted and wanted to confirm I would be receiving them. I was told that an investigation will be opened. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a letter stating that my account promotional offer would not be given because there was not a targeted offer on my account even though I confirmed via call/chat that I was eligible for the offer and had met the requirements. I called Citi back and spoke to a manager that said that they would open another investigation and I would hear back by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. It is past that point and I have not yet heard back. 

I have called numerous times and got nothing but a run-around. They have not acknowledged that if I was not going to receive a bonus it should have been communicated to me during numerous confirmations about the offer. It has been weeks of dealing with this and I am very disappointed that Citi would mislead and treat their customers in this manner. I have been a customer since XXXX and if this is not handled appropriately I will pursue it further with litigation and no longer do business with this company ever again. 

I appreciate any help the CFPB can offer to resolve this issue in a timely and satisfactorily manner. I can provide PDFs of the chat records if need be. 

Thanks, XXXX
