Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I bring to your attention a deeply concerning experience I had with Honda customer service while attempting to address a serious matter regarding the requesting and confirming the correct address to invoke my arbitration clause for my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 

On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I contacted Honda customer service to request the correct address for submitting a formal demand for arbitration, as required by Section 26 of my lease agreement. Instead of providing me with the necessary information, I was met with threats and intimidation, being told to borrow the money or face repossession. This conduct was both alarming and unprofessional, and it did not align with the standards I expect from Honda. 

Given that these calls are typically recorded for quality assurance, I kindly request that the recordings from these dates be reviewed to verify this inappropriate behavior. I believe it is crucial to address this internally to prevent similar situations from happening to other customers. 

My vehicle was repossessed the next day on XX/XX/XXXX in an unlawful manner, and the customer service experience has only added to my concerns. As I rely on my vehicle for XXXX XXXX XXXX related to an XXXX, this repossession has caused significant disruption to my daily life.

Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
A bank account was fraudulently opened at Capital One in the name of our company. We first learned about the fraudulent account when our company received a statement for the account for the period XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX The statement showed a {$5000.00} XXXX deposit from me, personally, which I never made, from a bank I have never heard of ( shown on the statement as XXXX  ). I immediately called Capital One to ask them to close the account, and to complain that the bank account was fraudulently opened, and that XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) never authorized opening any such account, and that I not only wanted it closed but also wanted as much information about the account opening and the deposit as possible, to be able to investigate possible identity theft. The bank took my information, and said if I wanted to reach their fraud department I could only do so by fax and must include all my identification. I followed the instructions and faxed my ID and my questions to the fax number I was given. I repeated this entire exercise the next month when we received another statement, and again the month after, when we receive a third statement along with a notice that the account was overdrawn. I have not received any response from the bank to my questions. Each time I was told someone would get back to me, but no one ever did. After the third statement arrived with the notice the account was overdrawn, I was simply told not to worry, the matter was being looked into and the bank wouldn't be trying to recoup the money from our company. That was not a response but an excuse for not responding. I WANT INFORMATION how this ever could have happened in the first place. The bank was either negligent in checking the identity of whoever opened the account in our company 's name, or something else went wrong, but I can't get any information whatsoever from the bank. It's like talking to a stone wall. I am attaching for the CFPB my three faxes to the bank and most of the attachments to them ( but am not including my IDs, which were attached to those faxes ).

Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. 
Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. 
Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 
I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report.

15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not readd or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
