Consumer complaint received 2025-10-15 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received an email alert about a purchase on my Capital One Quicksilver credit card that I did not make. When I checked the app, I saw there was already a previous charge from the same merchant. I immediately reported both transactions as fraud, and Capital One issued temporary credits while investigating. 

In XX/XX/year>, the same XXXX amounts ( {$170.00} and {$110.00} ) reappeared when Capital One denied my dispute, claiming the payments were authorized through XXXX XXXX. However, I have never used or linked XXXX XXXX with this card and never authorized these transactions. 

The merchant listed is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IND, which appears to be fraudulent. The phone number does not work, the business location can not be verified, and there are multiple online reports of consumers describing identical fraudulent charges from this same merchant. 

This issue was already reported in a previous CFPB complaint # XXXX, but XXXX XXXX response was the same generic letter offering no resolution or proof. Their letter dated XX/XX/year> repeats the same investigation outcome, despite clear evidence that the merchant does not exist and that the transaction could not have been authorized by me. 

I specifically requested proof of authorization ( XXXX XXXX device token, device ID, and merchant authorization data ), but Capital One never provided it and refused to reopen the claim. 

In their letter, they also mention transactions over 180 days old, which is incorrect, since the fraud was reported the same day the charges occurred. XXXX XXXX  own delays in their investigation caused the time gap they now cite. They first issued a temporary credit and then reapplied the fraudulent charges months later, making me responsible for a scam I reported immediately. 

I am asking the CFPB to require Capital One to reopen this case as fraud, not a billing dispute, to restore the {$290.00} that was wrongly re-charged, and to provide the full documentation of the alleged XXXX XXXX authorization they used to deny my claim. 

Attachments include : Capital One letter ( XX/XX/year> ) Screenshots of merchant details and failed contact attempts Prior complaint response ( Case # XXXX ) Timeline documentation showing same-day fraud report

Complaint narrative:
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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
