A fraudulent account has been reported under my name, which I did not authorize, open, or have any involvement with. This account is not connected to any financial relationship I have ever had, and its inclusion on my credit report is false and damaging to my creditworthiness.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Communicated with a seller for the purchase of concert tickets with seats, section, date/time confirmed in XXXX, NC. Screenshots showed valid information in XXXX and email was provided for transfer of 2 tickets. Upon payment for one ticket ( transaction using Capital One debit card via XXXX ), I attempted to call the seller for further details and confirm receipt. I realized at this time, that the seller was a scammer and so I immediately called Capital One who advised to deactivate the debit card, verify I had not volunteered personal information and submit a claim ASAP. I attempted to contact the seller multiple times for receipt of at least one ticket and the individual was unresponsive. I called XXXX and requested investigation of a fraudulent charge ( and the recipient 's account ) with no further guidance or help. I called Capital One again and submitted a formal claim for goods not received after payment. I submitted all screenshots of the transaction & checked in multiple times over 3months ( purchase made in XXXX, resolution XX/XX/year> ). After several months, the claim was marked as closed stating the charge was legitimate & resolved. I called Capital One to escalate & was asked if I tried attempting to contact the vendor ( who was a scammer ) to ask for a refund on the ticket. I was asked if I had additional information. Further escalation would be addressed with 15days. Customer service with Capital One was dismissive, uninterested & frankly left me wondering what to do.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against the three major credit reporting agencies Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for failing to comply with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, which governs the reinvestigation of disputed information.

Despite submitting formal disputes requesting verification and proof of accuracy of certain negative items on my credit reports, none of the bureaus provided the legally required evidence or results of their investigations within the 30-day time frame as mandated by the FCRA. They have continued to report inaccurate or unverifiable information, causing direct harm to my creditworthiness

Company: SOUTHSTATE BANK CORPORATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal rebuttal to the response provided by SouthState Bank on XX/XX/year> regarding CFPB complaint # XXXX. 

This issue involves XXXX unauthorized XXXX XXXX charges totaling {$1300.00}. I was the victim of a widespread identity theft scam that impersonated the Colorado DMV and tricked me into exposing personal details. These funds were withdrawn while I was asleep, and I did not authorize any of these transactions. 

I have already submitted screenshots of the scam messages and of my fraud alert text response, which I sent back marked NO at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX once I woke up and saw the alert. The banks denial is based on a fraudulent phone call in which someone posing as me confirmed the {$29.00} charge. 

I was asleep at the time of that call and can provide sworn testimony to that effect. I did not speak to the bank on that call, nor did I authorize any of the transactions. 

Under Regulation E ( 12 CFR 1005.11 ), the burden is on the bank to prove that I authorized the charges. A phone call made by a scammer using my stolen identity is not valid proof of authorization. SouthState has not provided any call recording, verification method, or supporting metadata that proves it was me who gave consent. Furthermore, I submitted a fraud report in good faith and responded No to the fraud alert which should have immediately stopped or reversed the charges. 

I respectfully request : A reinvestigation of this case under Regulation E. 
A copy of the phone call transcript or audio where the so-called confirmation occurred. 
Documentation of the IP address, location, and device used to make these XXXX XXXX charges. 
Full reimbursement of the {$1300.00} in unauthorized charges. 

Please note I have also filed an FTC Identity Theft Report ( attached ) and am prepared to escalate this matter to the Colorado Attorney General and pursue legal options if necessary. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.
