Consumer complaint received 2025-07-03 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding an account being reported by Capital One and/or a third-party debt collector on my credit report. I previously disputed this item with the credit bureaus because I do not have sufficient documentation that this debt is mine. The dispute came back as verified, yet I was never provided any original signed documentation or account statements that clearly identify me as the account holder. 

I have since attempted to request validation directly from the reporting entity but have not received proper documentation. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) require that if a consumer disputes an item, the furnisher must fully investigate and provide supporting recordsnot just confirm the account exists. 

I am requesting that this item be removed from my credit report unless the furnisher can provide : A copy of the original signed agreement or application with Capital One A detailed payment and charge-off history A clear chain of title showing legal authority to report or collect As this information has not been provided to me, and no thorough reinvestigation was performed after my dispute, I am asking for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to assist in resolving this matter. I am seeking full deletion of the item from my credit reports with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

Complaint narrative:
I am continually being called on the telephone by this agency over an alleged debt. I am requesting validation of this debt. This account has been reporting inaccurately. I wanted to dispute this account because of this and it was affecting my credit report. I am having problems with this unfair treatment. I am sure that I settled this account before because it was not mine. This account was taken care of with the original creditor and promised me to update it out of my report. Therefore, this account is unverifiable. This is an error that you need to look into, so please do your investigation on this and remove or delete this account from my credit report.

Company: Upstart Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My auto loan lender, Upstart, charged me a late fee of {$39.00} and ACH return fee of {$15.00} on XX/XX/2025 based on an error caused by their system and payment processor. I paid my bill on time and have an email indicating this. Per Upstart, they were unable to process the payment because the account was closed or invalid, which is inaccurate. My account was active and had sufficient funds to process the payment. I was later told it was a problem with their 3rd party processor, " XXXX '' and that my account needed to be re-verified. I provided the exact same account information to verify my account, and the payment successfully processed. Despite this being a company error, they refuse to remove the 2 fees and my account was reported past due because my payment was applied to fees first, leaving a remaining balance of {$54.00} from my monthly payment installment. I had to pay those fees to bring my account current and avoid further fees or adverse credit reporting. I have escalated the issue to management, and per an email response " Due to policy, we are unable to waive the fee ''. This is unacceptable. I paid my bill on time and maintained a valid bank account. My follow up calls and requests to the finance company have been unsuccessful.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Bank of Americas credit card dispute resolution team for mishandling a clear case of duplicate billing and consumer fraud. I disputed a charge made by a hotel ( via XXXX ) where I had paid in cash at the property due to a system failure and was later charged again on my credit card under a false No Show status. 

Despite submitting multiple forms of first-hand, verifiable evidence, including : -A handwritten note from the hotel confirming my check-in, check-out, and payment ; -An ATM withdrawal record showing the exact cash amount withdrawn shortly before check-in ; -XXXX  correspondence acknowledging they could not reach the hotels system ; -The original reservation information from XXXX. 

Bank of America refused my dispute and sided with the merchant, who submitted internal booking system data ( XXXX ) that I had no access to and that did not reflect my actual stay. Worse, the bank refused to engage with the context or accept that this was a cash-only transaction forced on me due to broken equipment, and the merchant refused to provide a formal receipt. 

I also referenced numerous online reviews where customers report nearly identical experiences with this property and booking platform ( XXXX ) : forced cash payments, no receipts, and double charges disputed in vain. 

Bank of America appears to rely exclusively on the merchant 's datawithout considering the credibility of consumer-provided documentationand disregarding evidence that clearly refutes the charge. The process felt one-sided and automated, with no transparent explanation for my evidence 's dismissal.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint regarding an unauthorized transfer from my Bank of America account ending in XXXX. On XX/XX/year>, I mistakenly entered my XXXX membership number, which is a 12-digit non-financial identifier, into the transfer form instead of a bank account number. 

However, Bank of Americas system accepted this invalid number without proper validation and proceeded to process the transaction, modifying it to fit their 16-digit requirement. As a result, my funds were transferred to an unintended XXXX XXXX XXXX  account in the amount of {$2300.00}. 

I contacted Bank of America and requested that they stop or reverse the transfer, but they informed me that there was no bank error and that they would attempt to recover the funds within 90 days, without any guarantee of recovery. 

I believe Bank of America bears full responsibility, because their system accepted an invalid, non-financial membership number without appropriate validation. Proper system checks should have rejected the transfer due to an invalid account number format. Their failure to validate customer input directly caused my funds to be sent to the wrong account. 

I am requesting CFPB assistance to hold Bank of America accountable for inadequate validation controls and to help recover my funds as soon as possible. I have attached Bank of Americas response letter for your review. 

Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ).

This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
