Complaint narrative:
According to Section 1681i ( 7 ) of the U.S. Code, the method used to verify this account is flawed as it was reported without sufficient evidence. 

I want to emphasize that I did not open these accounts nor did I authorize anyone to do so on my behalf. I have been disputing these entries for XXXX XXXX now. While I acknowledge the importance of accurate reporting, I firmly believe these items are erroneous. Therefore, I urge you to investigate these matters and promptly remove them from my credit report.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that I had some late payments on an account that I was never late for. The consumer reporting agencies have played a very important role and have the ability to report consumer information as accurately as passible. I have never been late on payments for XXXX XXXX XXXX account # XXXX. Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing me where these payments were late. If proof can not be established, I demand that these payments be updated to on time as they should be because I was never late I have also attached a screenshot of the dates of XX/XX/2023 showing my payments being 60days late. How are my payments 60 days late but the previous month on XX/XX/2023 my payments were marked on time.

According to 15 U.S Code 1681 the consumer reporting agencies must follow reasonable procedures to assure the maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. In this case this violates my rights because inaccurate information is being reported by a consumer reporting agency.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
As a vigilant guardian of my own privacy, I invoke the power vested in me by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) to address the violations concerning my personal information. The FCRA, under 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 ( a ), mandates consumer reporting agencies to handle their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for my right to privacy. XXXX and XXXX, as consumer reporting agencies, must heed this directive. 
I assert my right to ensure that my private information remains confidential, a right that is fortified by 15 U.S.C. 6801, which clearly states that financial institutions have an ongoing obligation to honor the privacy of their customers. The entity that furnishes information to credit agencies falls under this definition and thus, is bound by these laws. 
Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) specifies that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a report only with my written consent, which neither XXXX, XXXX, nor the furnisher of information has obtained from me. I hereby revoke any form of consent previously granted, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. 
The law is clear in 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( b ) that a financial institution can not disclose my nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party without informing me of my right to nondisclosure, a right that was never presented to me. 
Moreover, 15 U.S.C. 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits the reporting of any adverse information older than seven years, which includes the account in question. This is a violation of my legal rights, as there is no permission granted on my part for such reporting. 
The accuracy of information is paramount, as stated in 15 U.S.C. 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which forbids the furnishing of information to consumer reporting agencies if it is known or suspected to be inaccurate. XXXX and XXXX failure to maintain reasonable procedures, as required by 15 U.S.C. 1681e, to prevent such violations further compounds the issue.

Lastly, in accordance with 12 CFR 1016.7, I exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services at this time. My privacy is not a commodity for trade, and I demand the respect and confidentiality that is rightfully mine. 
Please be advised that this notice of my rights has been issued to you multiple times and has been met with disregard. This persistent neglect is not only disrespectful but also a clear breach of the legal obligations outlined above. I insist on immediate compliance with these regulations, and any further inaction will be met with the necessary legal recourse to protect my rights.

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I paid my credit card statement balance in full, in the amount of {$2400.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged interest on my account XXXX {$38.00}. I called, spoke with a supervisor named XXXX, and asked why I was charged interest. It was explained to me that it was because of residual unpaid interest from previous months. The supervisor indicated that there is no way for individuals to know of that amount because it's not itemized on the statement, and the only way for someone to know that would be to call in and ask. The supervisor indicated she would document the complaint but no further action would be taken in regards to refunding me the interest charges even though I paid the statement balance. 

I believe this is highly deceptive and breaches UDAAP regulations because the amount indicated to pay on the statement is not a true paid-in-full amount, which allows the company to continue to charging additional interest, and there's no reasonable way to avoid those extra charges because it's not listed on the statement.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
