Consumer complaint received 2025-03-11 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
CapitalOne says a charge of {$140.00} was charged to my credit card with a transaction date of XX/XX/year>. The description reads " XXXX XXXX ''. 

I didn't make this charge ; I didn't authorize this charge. I phoned CapitalOne as soon as I received the billing statement to dispute the charge. CapitalOne canceled that card and issued another. To preserve my rights under the Billing Summary, I followed up the telephone call with a written letter notifying CapitalOne of this dispute. 

I believe that the charge is for an XXXX XXXX subscription, but while I do have an XXXX XXXX membership, this particular credit card isn't tied to my XXXX account. Furthermore, the date of my renewal is different, and when my legitimate XXXX XXXX subscription renewed, the dollar amount was different, probably due to sales tax. 

I have called XXXX twice and confirmed that this isn't my subscription. I have notified CapitalOne about these conversations with XXXX. 

I have received letters from CapitalOne requesting information to validate the dispute. But the questions assume that I actually made the transaction, and ask if I tried to resolve the situation with the merchant, etc. Since I didn't make this transaction, it's impossible to answer the questions they ask. Then I have received letters saying since I didn't send the information they requested, they are unable to assist with my claim. 

CapitalOne has assigned a case number. It is XXXX. Thanks for your assistance.

Complaint narrative:
I accepted a job offer that then sent me a check to purchase equipment, the company was a scam and I called Citi bank on XX/XX/year> to inform the checks were fraudulent. I was told that department was closed to call back the next day, I called back XX/XX/year> to inform Citi bank I had been scammed and the checks were fraudulent. I was told they could not stop the check from processing but that I had nothing to worry about. Later that evening of XX/XX/year> I was unable to access my account. I called back XX/XX/year> and was told my account was frozen and under review and that it would take XXXX business hours to complete review. On XX/XX/year> I received an email stating that after review my account with Citi would be closed in XXXX calendar days and would receive balances from my accounts after it was closed. I called to dispute the account closure and they could not tell me why my account was being closed and that there was no way for me to get the account closed sooner so that I may receive my available funds sooner. I spoke to several people and nobody could answer my questions or assist me further. Waiting up to 60 days for MY money is absolutely ridiculous.

Complaint narrative:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has documented Equifaxs repeated failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, even leading to legal action for violating the FCRA. This continued pattern of noncompliance is unacceptable, and I will not allow my credit profile to suffer due to negligence on your part. 

Federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) clearly states that Equifax is required to conduct a thorough reinvestigation of disputed information within 30 days. Any item that can not be 100 % verified must be deleted immediately. I demand that these errors be corrected without delay, as they are actively harming my financial standing. Continued noncompliance will not be ignored.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am submitting this formal complaint against Experian for its failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically regarding the reporting of inaccurate late payment records on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to dispute these inaccuracies directly with Experian, they have failed to investigate and correct the errors, thereby violating their legal obligations under FCRA. 

The inaccurate late payment records in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Under 15 U.S. Code 1681o, credit reporting agencies may be held liable for damages caused by their negligence in failing to comply with FCRA requirements. Experian has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation, failed to ensure the accuracy of the information reported, and failed to remove unverifiable information despite my formal disputes. This non-compliance has resulted in financial harm, including damage to my credit score and potential denials for credit opportunities. 

I am requesting that the CFPB intervene and hold Experian accountable for its failure to comply with federal law. Specifically, I request the following actions : 1. A full investigation into Experians non-compliance with the FCRA.

2. Removal of the inaccurate late payments if Experian can not provide proper verification.

3. Enforcement of penalties against Experian for failing to uphold its legal obligations. 

I kindly ask for an expedited resolution to this matter, as Experians negligence is actively harming my financial standing. 

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and inform me of the next steps in the investigation process. I appreciate the CFPBs commitment to protecting consumer rights and look forward to your prompt response.
