Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally dispute the accounts reported on my consumer credit report, which are attributed to potential fraud or potential unauthorized activity, as indicated in the reference below : FCRA Section 604. I kindly request verifiable evidence bearing my signature/electronic signature. Please review this letter meticulously as it is submitted on my behalf. I have not authorized such actions, potentially constituting a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 604. I have previously contacted the relevant companies and have determined that these actions may have been undertaken without appropriate validation or original documentation from any of the reporting entities. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Issue: Struggling to pay your bill — Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Urgent Complaint : Capital One Credit Card Accounts Hardship Assistance Request & Account Review On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Capital One to request hardship assistance due to being XXXX months pregnant, on unpaid leave, and unable to work until after delivery. I explained that my hardship was temporary, as I plan to return to work. I emphasized my concerns about falling behind on payments, the risk of my account going to collections, and the importance of protecting my credit since I have been a long-standing Capital One customer. 

During my calls, XXXX out of XXXX agents stated that my account was ineligible for assistance under Capital Ones assistance plan. However, when I asked to speak with a manager or department head who could further explain the denial, I was told no such support was available. Additionally, I repeatedly requested formal documentation confirming my denial, but I was told Capital One has no system in place to provide such written records. 

As of XX/XX/year>, I again contacted Capital One and spoke with an agent named XXXX ( ID : XXXX ) at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. She stated, I dont have access to that history. I dont have the names of the previous agents you spoke to. This highlights my concern that Capital One is failing to provide transparent communication, accurate record-keeping, or a clear escalation process for hardship cases. 

I believe Capital Ones handling of my hardship request is unreasonable and does not reflect fair treatment of customers in vulnerable situations. I am making every effort to avoid default or collections, but I can not obtain proper documentation, clarity, or assistance. 

I believe these steps are necessary to prevent unnecessary damage to my credit and financial well-being, and I respectfully request that Capital One provide timely, clear, and supportive guidance on available options. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your written response and a plan for moving forward. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I was alarmed to find these inaccurate late payment remarks on my credit report this morning without any explanation. As part of my routine, I reviewed my report, but this time, I noticed discrepancies that hadnt been there before. Hoping it was just a system glitch, I refreshed my browser, yet the errors persisted. Because of this, I am requesting a thorough verification of the documents I have provided so that I can put this issue behind me.

Complaint narrative:
The listed entries remain unverified and appear inaccurate. Despite numerous efforts to have these discrepancies properly addressed, no substantial action has been taken. I have submitted all necessary documentation and followed up multiple times, yet the errors continue to appear. This ongoing inaction has resulted in financial difficulties and has negatively impacted my overall well-being. The mental and emotional strain caused by these unresolved issues has been considerable. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to an accurate and fair credit report, which includes the removal of any incorrect or unverified information. I strongly urge you to take prompt action to investigate and correct these items, as continued failure to do so may constitute a violation of my rights under federal law.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. 

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system. 

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.
