Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Credit Report Dispute Inaccurate Capital One Account Reporting Account Number : XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the accuracy of the information reported on my XXXX  credit report related to a Capital One account listed under the partial number XXXX. 

The basis of my dispute is as follows : The account is marked as charged off with a balance of {$1100.00} and marked delinquent up through XX/XX/XXXX, despite the account being closed in XXXX. 
The reported payment history reflects late payments after the account was closed, which is inaccurate and misleading. 
There is conflicting or outdated information, including last payment on XX/XX/XXXX, but continued delinquency shown into XXXX, which should not be the case for a charged-off/closed account. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am requesting that you : XXXX. Investigate this account with the furnisher ( Capital One ). 
XXXX. Remove or correct the inaccurate reporting, particularly the post-closure delinquencies and charge-off dates that misrepresent the actual timeline of events. 

Attached are screenshots from my credit report showing the erroneous entries. Please include an updated copy of my credit report after the investigation is complete. 

Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter.

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.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity theft that has a police report as verification. They are saying I had an account I never had and I asked them to remove the debt since they could not provide the original signed contract of the debt. Innacurate reporting to the credit bureaus. They have all agreed to leave the inquiry with no comments so that I can purchase my home because while applying for a mortgage I can have nothing in dispute. I moved out of my apartment because the lease term ended and I didnt want to resign. I moved into a hotel and is currently homeless because of the inaccuracies being reported. They were irate and refused to remove or give documentation that the debt is not mine and I looked the store where the purchase was supposedly made and its closed. They Put me on hold and then the customer service associate came to the phone changing his voice. Very unprofessional and mean to their customers
