Consumer complaint received 2025-05-05 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with additional products or services purchased with the loan
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have an XXXX XXXX with Capital One and requested additional security protections due to concerns that family members have been impersonating me to obtain confidential loan details. Ive made Capital One aware of this issue by phone and asked for options such as setting up a passcode, extra verification questions, or placing a privacy alert on the account. Instead, I was told theres no way to secure the account unless I refinance the loan to get a new account number, which is not fair or reasonable. 

I believe Capital One has a responsibility to protect customer accounts from unauthorized access. I should not have to take on the burden or risk of refinancing or changing my account to get basic security added. Im worried about identity theft, privacy breaches, and unauthorized access to my financial information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Experian failed to investigate or respond to dispute within 30 days. On or around two weeks ago, I submitted a written Method of Verification letter to Experian requesting validation of the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I included all of the necessary documents including my full name, Social Security Number, date of birth, address, copy of my government issued ID, and proof of address. As of today, I have not received ANY written update, investigate results, or confirmation that the accounts were reviewed. Experian has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires disputes to be investigated and responded to within 30 days of receipt. I followed up with a second letter to demand compliance and have yet to receive an appropriate response. These accounts remain on my report without proper verification.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This correspondence serves as a formal follow-up and final notice regarding your continued noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), despite my previous dispute dated XX/XX/XXXX. To date, you have failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation of the disputed accounts listed below, nor has you provided the legally required verification documentation in response to my demand under FCRA 611 ( a ).

Let me remind you that under FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 5 ), you are obligated to complete a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information and to delete or modify any unverifiable data. Additionally, under FCRA 623 ( b ), data furnishers must investigate and report the results of the reinvestigation to the credit reporting agency in a timely and accurate manner. Your failure to do so not only undermines the integrity of the credit reporting system but also exposes your organization to significant legal liability under FCRA 617 for damages resulting from your willful or negligent noncompliance.

Documentation Still Required : Despite my prior request, you have not produced any of the following : 1. A copy of the original creditor agreement bearing my signature ( if applicable ) ; 2. Records or communications used to verify the accuracy of the disputed information ; 3. Documentation outlining your reinvestigation procedure and final findings.

Without this verification, continued reporting of inaccurate information violates FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), which explicitly requires deletion if information can not be verified.

Continued Noncompliance Legal Implications You are now in a clear pattern of willful noncompliance. I remind you of the precedent set in : Cushman v. TransUnion Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. 1997 ) where failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation was held as willful noncompliance ; Dennis v. BEH-1, LLC, 520 F.3d 1066 ( 9th Cir. 2008 ) where damages were awarded due to inaccurate reporting and failure to properly reinvestigate.

I reserve all rights to pursue monetary damages, including : Statutory damages up to {$1000.00} per violation ; Punitive damages for willful noncompliance ; Compensation for actual damages, including emotional distress and credit denials ; Legal fees and court costs, if litigation becomes necessary.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a follow-up letter regarding my original complaint filed on XX/XX/year>, concerning Experians continued reporting of an unvalidated debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) . Despite my request for full debt validation under the FDCPA, no proper documentation was provided. Experian continues to report the debt based only on furnisher verification, not actual validation, violating both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Importantly, XXXX has already deleted this account from my credit profile in response to the same dispute submitted through the CFPB, confirming that the account could not be validated. 

I am requesting the CFPB to investigate Experians failure to comply with FCRA and FDCPA requirements and ensure this unverifiable debt is deleted from my credit report. The attached PDF outlines the legal basis for my request.
