Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I have had a Capital one /Saks store card since XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXXthe card was removed from my reports due to fraudulant activity which was incorrect and resolved. It was reported to all credit agencies but i noticed it was missing from XXXX XXXX and was affecting my credit score for example XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX this was due to length of credit as my account is 11 years old it would make a huge difference to my score. I have tried to have them reinstate the card but was told that XXXX XXXX would not do it due to the length of time. I then called XXXX XXXX they told me that they had no such request logged on there system and was told by XXXX XXXX  that if the card was in good standing they would report the information correctly. So i can only assume that Capital one /Saks are not telling the truth. I have never missed a payment and have kept my card in good standing. I am in the process of obtaining a mortgage and this is affecting me greatly and is not treating me fairly at all. I want the card and it full history reported to all agencies. I f this is not resolved i will be getting a lawyer involved and sue them for all the extra interest i have had to pay due to there error.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
For the past 5 to 7 years there has been over XXXX hard inquiries on my credit report of which I am responsible for XXXX to XXXX, the most. The rest has been the actions of thieves with my social sec number, using variations of my name, addresses, false most of them, and bogus phone numbers, all that in the island of Puerto Rico. I am currently living in another state and communicated the issue to trans union the agency running most of the bogus inquiries. Their answer was to call and write the numerous banks, car dealers and financial institutions where the inquiries were made. I did but to my surprise, the answer I got from all of them is that they have no record of an inquiry, not records of my social sec number or name. Even the false names and addresses that appear on my report were not recognized. Worst is that in the end I am stuck with a bunch of inquiries that I did n't do, my score is affected miserably and trans union keep sending me to the same lenders and service providers that already told me they have no inquiries under any name or social sec number that I provided to fix the problem. However, to be fair with them, they did process a security fraud alert very quickly and took a bogus account under my name out of the report. The options I have to fix that problem is wait 2 years after each inquiry to be taken out and that for me is simply unacceptable. Any way you can help me will be much, very much appreciated.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in relation to my Capital One credit card. The payment due dates are always the first day of each month. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made my payment at approximately XXXX or XXXX XXXX, Central Time, where I reside. When I made that payment, the recording told me that my payment would post on XX/XX/XXXX, rendering it one day late. I understood that there was a late payment charge if I made the payment after XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately called customer service and they told me that I may not be charged a late fee and to wait for a billing cycle. Customer service indicated that they would reverse the late fee if it appeared on my statement because the payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX in a timely manner.
I received my XX/XX/XXXX statement and the statement included a {$25.00} late fee. I called customer service three times and they declined to reverse the late fee. They indicated that the payment was received after XXXX XXXX Eastern Time. Their cut off is XXXX XXXX Eastern Time. I told them that I reside in the Central Time Zone and in any event, the payment was made well in advance of XX/XX/XXXX. My statement reads " Electronic Payment Date XX/XX/XXXX '' and then posts for XX/XX/XXXX. I believe that this is a penalty and not a real fee to cover Capital One 's expenses.
