Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is my final notice regarding your ongoing noncompliance with federal credit reporting laws. I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC XXXX ( Section XXXX ( b ) ). 
Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request violates 15 USC XXXX ( Section XXXX ( c ) ). 
Harassment under 15 USC XXXX ( Section XXXX ). 
Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. CXX/XX/XXXXe XXXXb.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because my Equifax credit report contains several inaccurate and/or unverifiable items that are negatively affecting my credit profile. I have already attempted to resolve these issues directly with Equifax and the furnishers without satisfactory results. 

Charged-Off Accounts in Dispute XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Account ending XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Reported XX/XX/year>, Balance : {$1500.00} ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Reported XX/XX/year>, Balance : {$1500.00} ) These appear to be duplicate entries for the same debt, which is inaccurate and misleading. I request Equifax to investigate, verify the accuracy with proper documentation, and delete or correct any unverifiable or duplicate reporting. 

XXXX in Dispute XXXX XXXX, Dated XX/XX/year> This inquiry was not authorized by me. Please remove it unless verifiable written authorization exists. 

Late Payments in Dispute The following accounts are reporting late payments that I believe to be inaccurate, outdated, or not properly verified : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please conduct a full investigation and provide verification of these alleged delinquencies.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this follow-up complaint because XXXX XXXX  response on XX/XX/year>, is unacceptable. They stated my account was closed because my " contact information used to open the account couldn't be verified, '' yet they bluntly refused my offer to provide government-issued documents to verify that exact information. 

Circular Logic : Capital One claims they can not verify me, but when I offer the verification documents ( Lease, Passport, XXXX ), they refuse to look at them and claim the decision is " permanent. '' This is a failure of their XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ). 

XXXX XXXX vs. Reality : I am a legitimate resident at [, XXXXXXXX XXXX ]. Their automated system made an error. A bank can not permanently ban a customer simply because their software failed to auto-verify a valid address, while simultaneously refusing manual verification. 

Denial of Service : I have done nothing wrong. I have no history of fraud. I am simply a customer whom Capital One 's system failed to recognize. 

By refusing to conduct a manual review and hiding behind a " permanent '' automated decision, Capital One is unfairly denying banking services to a legal XXXX resident.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Capital One is inaccurately reporting a XXXX late payment for XX/XX/2024. 
My minimum payment due on XX/XX/2024 was {$140.00}. 
Before the billing cycle closed, on XX/XX/2024, I made a payment of {$240.00} which is {$100.00} MORE than the minimum payment due. 

A consumer can not legally be XXXX late in XXXX after paying more than the required minimum payment before the cycle ended. 

The statements clearly show the minimum due ( {$140.00} ) and my payment of {$240.00}. 
Despite this, Capital One continues to report me as XXXX late for XX/XX/2024, which is factually incorrect and violates FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ).

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a {$240.00} collection account that TransUnion allowed to be placed on my credit report by a third-party collection agency claiming to act on behalf of XXXX XXXX. I never did business with this collection company, and the original XXXX XXXX membership was canceled more than a year before this claim was reported. 

The timeline is : XXXX XXXX canceled my membership more than a year before the {$240.00} charge was reported. 

I never received any communication, invoice, or notice from XXXX XXXX or the collection company regarding this amount. 

More than a year after cancellation, a {$240.00} collection suddenly appeared on my TransUnion report. 

I initiated a dispute and provided documentation showing that the membership had been canceled prior to the alleged debt. 

TransUnion marked the investigation as completed within only a few days and did not contact the original company to verify cancellation or resolve the discrepancy. 

TransUnion refuses to provide details of its investigation and has blocked my IP address from accessing its online dispute portal, preventing me from submitting additional disputes. 

This collection is fraudulent, unsupported by any contract or communication, and violates the requirement for a reasonable reinvestigation under the FCRA. I am requesting that the CFPB require TransUnion to : Remove the inaccurate {$240.00} account from my report. Remove the item from my report since the communication about them canceling my account wished me the best and did not include any unsettled amounts. To come back with unsettled amounts and send them to collections without any contact a year later is malicious.

Conduct a lawful, complete reinvestigation with verification from the original creditor ( not the collection agency ).

Restore my access to the dispute portal so I can exercise my rights under the FCRA.
