Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my credit report regarding a charge-off. The account in question is listed as follows : Creditor Name : XXXX XXXXXXXX Account Number : XXXX Date of Charge-Off : XX/XX/year> It has come to my attention that the charge-off is being reported month after month on my payment history, which is incorrect. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), negative information such as a charge-off should only be reported once, corresponding to the date it was charged off. 

The FCRA requires that credit reporting agencies ensure the accuracy of the information they report ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ). Repeatedly reporting the charge-off each month results in a misleading and inaccurate credit report, which has significantly harmed my credit score. Additionally, the statute of limitations for reporting a charge-off is seven years from the date of the first delinquency that led to the charge-off ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 4 ) ). Continuously reporting this charge-off as a new event each month does not reset the statute of limitations and is improper.

I request that you promptly investigate this account and correct the inaccurate information by removing the repeated entries of the charge-off from my payment history. Please update my credit report accordingly and provide me with a confirmation of these corrections.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I made a credit card payment in the amount of XXXX against my XXXX credit card. I used the same debit card I have used for previous payments without issue. Today after paying i was immediately locked out of the card and told to call capital one. 

Upon calling I was greeted with a rep from the " fraud prevention '' department who said that I needed to sit on a call with them to have my bank tell them I owned the Debit Card I paid with. I stated that it was the same debit card I always pay with to which the lady says " Well this could be money laundering ''. I then asked her if I complied if my payment would post immediately as it always did before to which she replied yes. Because my area is currently being impacted by XXXX XXXX I went ahead and let her call my bank. 

Of course my bank has to ask me my security questions and verify my identity on their end and now I have someone else listening in with XXXX way to know if my answers are being recorded. 

Effectively Capital One offers customers credit cards with cash back which means that if I need to make a purchase I get a little money back each time. My card has a credit limit of XXXX so I use it for everyday purchases and then make payments to this card to ensure that my credit doesnt take a hit for usage. As a result of making more than one payment the company then identifies me as a possible money launderer. If I dont make my payments or the balance stays too high they report to credit bureaus and it leads to difficulty securing credit in the future.

This is a predatory practice and if they can not utilize tooling to see that the payments are legit than perhaps they should only be allowing one payment per month. At the end of the day the consumer should not be accused of illegalities because the business cant understand its own processes.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report.

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
