Complaint narrative:
Complaint Regarding Incorrect Collection Accounts on Credit Reports I am filing this complaint regarding eight collection accounts appearing on my credit reports with Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. These accounts total approximately {$8000.00} and have been disputed multiple times through XXXX XXXX, without resolution. 

I received IRS Form 1099-C for these accounts, indicating that the debts were cancelled by the original creditors and reported as income. Since this cancelled debt has been documented as income through the issuance of 1099-C forms, these accounts should no longer be reported as outstanding or delinquent by the credit reporting agencies. 

Furthermore, the accounts in question are reported by third-party debt collectors, not the original creditors who issued the 1099-Cs. Given the debt has been cancelled, these accounts should reflect a XXXX balance and be removed from delinquency status on my credit report. 

Despite submitting disputes, the credit reporting agencies continue to report these debts as valid. I can provide Copy B of the 1099-C forms if necessary to verify my claim and request that these accounts be updated to reflect a XXXX balance or be removed entirely. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$21000.00} RE : Late Payment Improperly Reported- I XXXX XXXX have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY under 15 USC 1681A ( 4 ) as a federally protected consumer and I know my rights presented under the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly outlined within 15 USC 1681 . The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So, whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n and 15 USC 1681o, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. I was reviewing my consumer reports and noticed XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$21000.00} on my credit report that need be immediately updated to paid as agreed. My Consumer rights have been violated by Experian, XXXX, XXXX. Experian, XXXX, XXXX has violated my consumer rights and violated federal law. This is multiple attempts to notify you of this erroneous error on the part of your agency. This erroneous late payment is affecting my ability to obtain a loan to save my business from crumbling and also blocking me from the housing that I so desperately need for myself and my family. Please change this to paid as agreed immediately so that I may proceed with my life, or I may be forced to seek legal damages against your agency as I already have sought legal counsel in this more than important matter. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Capital One Bank USA for multiple violations of federal consumer protection laws.

Specifically, Capital One Bank USA has : Failed to Provide Validation Information : The agency has reported two closed collection accounts to consumer reporting agency without providing the required validation information as outlined in 12 CFR 1005.34 ( b ) ( 5 ).

Disregarded Dispute Rights : Despite my attempts to dispute the account in accordance with 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), the agency has continued to report inaccurate information.

Engaged in Deceptive and Misleading Practices : The agency has used false, misleading, and deceptive means in its collection efforts, violating federal consumer protection laws.

Furnished Information Without Proper Authority : The agency has furnished information to consumer reporting agencies without complying with the disclosure requirements of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( 7 ) ( A ).

I have attached copies of the credit reports to substantiate my claims.

I request that the CFPB investigate these allegations and take appropriate action against Capital One Bank USA to ensure compliance with federal consumer protection laws. I also request that the agency be required to remove the information on my credit report and cease all further collection activities. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ca. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified items listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these items? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are requ
ired to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the items listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ITEMS? I believe you have not verified these items based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I am reaching out to request urgent intervention regarding the sudden closure of my Citibank account on XX/XX/year> which has left me without access to funds needed for essential expenses, including my rent payment. I believe this action by Citibank may be unfair and has placed me at immediate risk of eviction.

Recently, I received a critical deposit in my Citibank account intended for my XXXX rent. The account was subsequently closed by Citibank without adequate explanation or notice, leaving me in an incredibly difficult situation. When I initially spoke with XXXX representatives, I was told a letter explaining the closure would be sent to me. However, upon further inquiry the following week, I received no clear answer or documentation. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I personally visited a Citibank branch, attempting to withdraw funds to pay my rent. A representative on the phone had confirmed there would be a note on file to facilitate this withdrawal. However, when I arrived, the teller refused to release my money, disregarding the urgency of my situation and leaving me unable to fulfill my rental obligations. This withholding of funds is now causing severe personal and financial distress. 

I have consulted with legal representatives who advised that I contact your agency before proceeding with additional action. I am respectfully requesting that the CFPB treat this matter with urgency and compel Citibank to release my funds immediately. My immediate access to these funds is crucial to avoid eviction and additional financial consequences. 

Thank you or your assistance in this urgent matter.
