Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone notification that indicated my account was past due. I was not using the account and had paid the balance in full. After looking into the account I found on XX/XX/XXXX that I had, in fact, paid the balance in full of XXXX. When I inquired in XXXX, I was told there was an interest charge of {$2.00} that had been added to the account and then assessed late fees several times. The representative for the company informed me that these fees would be removed from my account by the next billing cycle and the late payments would be removed in 45 days from my credit report. The fees were removed from the account, however the credit report is still affected showing two back to back late of 30 and 60 days. I called the company again on XX/XX/XXXX after finding out that the status of the credit report had not changed reflecting that there were no late payments. I was told first that XXXX XXXX would not do anything further to help. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was then told that the documentation necessary to address the credit report was not submitted in XXXX when I first called and was being submitted now on XX/XX/XXXX and would take another 45 days. 
I am in the process of purchasing a home and put off continuing the process in XXXX as this error had dropped my credit limit on the card and my credit score. Now I am being further penalized by this predatory practice and being told possibly another 45 days. I have nothing in writing and no idea if anything has actually been submitted due to the company 's unethical practices and unwillingness to address the error in a timely fashion.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
These losses were suffered on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX after being contacted by a person who identified themselves as an officer of the attorney general. He informed me that someone was using my personal information to commit fraudulent federal crimes and I had to liquidate the funds from my bank account prior to my social security number being frozen.

The fraudulent person swindled and scammed {$6800.00} via pre-paid gift cards that I purchased under extreme mental and emotional stress. He told me that I was being followed and I provided my personal work schedule and other intimate details of my life via text. After not receiving an email with additional steps at the Social Security office, I immediately called the police on XX/XX/XXXX to file a police report. I also called Capital One 's checking and credit card departments to inform them of what happened. The agents I spoke to were able to dispute the charges listed under the disputed charges list as they were from XXXX XXXX and had posted in the system. The remaining fraud claim numbers are for charges made at XXXX which posted a day or two in Capital One 's system. I have provided a 90 page document showing the police report, gift cards with proof of purchase, and have sent rebuttals back informing that the merchant 's policy is no refund on pre-paid gift cards. The police officer I spoke to informed me to call the phone number on the back of the gift cards to see if it's possible to get the money back as a refund. When I called the gift card merchant, they informed the funds were taken the same day. Capital One 's policy states that since I made the transactions myself, they are not considered fraud or disputable and since the merchant won't refund them back the money, they have reversed all provisional credits as debits in all 4 accounts. So I have lost everything and have nothing to show for all funds stolen from me.
