Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a series of erroneous transactions and reporting on my credit report related to my Capital One account. Recently, I received a text notification indicating a payment of {$310.00} was made to my Capital One account. Upon investigation, I discovered that this payment was made via telephone using a XXXX XXXX XXXX account, which I do not possess. 
I promptly contacted Capital One to report this fraudulent activity, but the representative would not transfer me to the fraud department ; instead, my card was merely locked. I initiated a dispute regarding the unauthorized payment. However, when checking my account later in the month, I noticed that the credit was reversed, resulting in accumulating late fees as I awaited resolution. 
To complicate matters further, in XXXX, Capital One charged another reversal of {$310.00} to my account, which led to my account being over the limit and subsequently both of my accounts were closed. I have reached out to Capital One at least XXXX times, including discussions with management and the fraud department, yet I have not received satisfactory resolution regarding the additional charges. 
As a result of these issues, my credit score has plummeted to XXXX, significantly impacting my ability to secure basic services such as a cell phone, I was in the process of looking for an apartment and can not do this either due to the impact on my credit. Furthermore, Capital One reported my account as 60 days late, despite my statement showing a payment made on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a reversal of the late fee. 
I understand there are laws in place to protect consumers from fraudulent activities and the repercussions imposed by credit card companies. Therefore, I request that this matter be noted on my credit report, and that Capital One be held accountable for the damage done to my credit standing and the countless hours I have spent attempting to resolve this issue. 
Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 
I have also included statements that support this matter.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

I was very surprised and disappointed to discover unauthorized credit inquiries and incorrect personal information made without my knowledge or approval. Despite my efforts to obtain clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to give the requested information. I am demanding fast action and willingness from the creditors. Creditors must disclose full information about each inquiry, such as the dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, as well as applicable application paperwork and evidence of explicit authorization. Please see the attached documents for my complaint!

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXXutopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : I am reaching out to you because I am concerned about the accuracy and honesty of your company 's data. As per FCRA section 611, it is imperative that we have accurate records on file with those who rely upon them most- which includes not just customers but also potential lenders or employers. After doing some research into Metro 2 compliance standards as well ( since they are rather new ), I've found there may be some inaccuracies in reporting going forward if these issues aren't promptly resolved ; would love any feedback possible before taking action against us later down this road together. My credit report is a representation of my financial standing and I take pride in keeping it up-to-date. With that said, you have the responsibility to keep my credit profile and report accurate, authentic, and complete! Therefore, I need you to provide me with verification of everything within my credit report in a TIMELY manner. The information in my credit report below is inaccurate. It never had any verification, compliance with reporting laws by means or even credibility - so now I'm going through the process of correcting this oversight permanently! The inaccuracies that are currently on my report are having a serious negative impact on my quality of life! The data on my credit report is of high importance and is currently not a representation of who I am financially because its inaccurate. I'm demanding accurate documentation so you can document me- the person who deserves status in society- correctly! Please make sure that all inaccuracies are removed immediately and that I am furnished with a new credit report upon the completion of your investigations into the details of my credit records.
