Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Discover is reporting a charge off account on my credit report. I have never had any account, service, or relationship with Discover. This debt does not belong to me.

I have sent Discover three separate written disputes requesting validation of this alleged debt, including proof that I am legally obligated to pay it. I specifically asked for documentation such as a signed contract, account statements, or other evidence linking me to this debt. Discover has either failed to respond or replied with vague, non-substantive information that does not prove the debt is mine.

Despite my repeated requests, Discover continues to report this account to the credit report companies causing harm to my credit.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
Some years ago, I opened ( rented ) a safe deposit box from US Bank. 
They have been withdrawing money each year from my checking account for the next year 's rent on the box. 

On XX/XX/year>, I received a letter from US Bank dated XX/XX/year>. 
The letter stated that the bank was changing the terms under which I rent a Safe Deposit Box. I went to the bank office ( on XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, Oregon ) and indicated that I did not like the new terms and that I wanted to close my box and get a refund for the remaining term ( that was prepaid ). The bank indicated that they could close the box, but that I would not get a refund for the unused portion of the term that was prepaid.

It seems to me that it is manifestly unfair : for them to have me sign a contract and pay for a year in advance and for them to later change the terms during the year without allowing me to opt out and get a refund for the unused months.

Who knows what other terms they may feel they can unilaterally change during the period of our contract.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing several inaccuracies currently appearing on my credit report, specifically unauthorized and inaccurate accounts and credit inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These entries represent a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which requires a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates that information reported must be accurate to the maximum extent possible. In addition, I am disputing a potentially misreported late payment. According to 15 U.S.C. 1666b, creditors must allow at least 21 days between the statement date and the payment due date before classifying a payment as late. Based on my records, this standard may not have been met, or the payment was submitted on time and inaccurately reported as delinquent.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Title : Capital One ( Venture X ) Dishonest, Unhelpful, and Predatory Ive had two horrific experiences with Capital One that prove they exploit customers and ignore their own policies : Venture X Bonus Scam : I missed the sign-up bonus by {$150.00} and 1 day due to a timing oversight. Despite escalating to a supervisor and begging for a goodwill adjustment ( common with other banks ), they refused even though Id spent nearly {$4000.00} in 3 months and spent more than {$6000.00} in 6 months. When I demanded to cancel the card, they deliberately stalled and wouldnt process my request. The annual fee is a trap theyll take your money but never honor flexibility.

Stolen Card Nightmare : My Capital One Savior card was stolen in XXXX. I disputed fraudulent charges, and after initially removing them, they reversed the decision and charged me again with no explanation. Their fraud department is a joke. 

Avoid Capital One at all costs. They bait you with fake promises, ignore customer loyalty, and make canceling cards impossible. Competitors like Chase or XX/XX/XXXX actually value customers Capital One only cares about squeezing you dry.

PSA : If youre considering the Venture X, document EVERYTHING. Theyll find any excuse to deny your bonus and hold you hostage.
