Consumer complaint received 2024-12-12 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from citibank regarding a past due balance. I advised them that I had not used the card. I entered the call with the dispute resolution specialist authenticated. When I spoke with her she seemed to be telling me that the only way she could dispute the transaction is if I would give her my full social security number and other personal information as well as verify whether the purchase was made near my home. When I asked about what was purchase, where, and how much she would not give me the information. I checked my credit and there was an alert that a previously inactive card had been used in XXXX for XXXX. Since the company would not process my dispute of the transaction, I disputed it on the credit reporting website. The company continues to call trying to collect payment several times a day. When I call them I just go directly into their payment menu. I don't have the card to get the number from. Now, when I answer their call I just go directly into the automated payment menu.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted multiple written disputes to TransUnion regarding multiple accounts on my credit report.. In my disputes, I requested that TransUnion investigate these accounts and remove them if they could not verify their accuracy, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite sending manually printed and stamped letters, TransUnion has either refused to investigate these accounts or responded with multiple stall letters. This lack of proper investigation and failure to remove unverified information appears to violate my rights under the FCRA. TransUnions inaction has left potentially inaccurate information on my credit report, which may negatively impact my credit score and financial opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Complaint narrative:
In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax for reporting XXXX accounts associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report : Account Number : XXXX Account Number : XXXX This company is no longer in business, and there is no contact information available to verify the accuracy of these accounts. Both XXXX and XXXX have removed these accounts from my credit report after confirming this issue. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Equifax is required to report only verifiable and accurate information. Continuing to report accounts from a defunct business without proper verification constitutes a violation of the FCRA. A simple search would reveal that XXXX XXXX XXXX is no longer operating, and therefore, these accounts can not be validated.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my consumer credit report and noticed some inaccurate items Capital One has been furnishing that are also in violation of the law including my right to privacy. As a federally protected consumer, i have the right to privacy per the Privacy Act of 1974. The account listed ( in the dispute letter attached ) is reporting inaccurate late payments to non affiliated third parties and I hereby opt out of Capital One sharing my non public personal information to non affiliated third parties, such as the Credit Reporting Agencies. This is a major violation of the law and major violation to my rights as a consumer acting in good faith with my commercial dealings. These unlawful practices Capital One is exercising on me as the consumer are causing hardship onto me and the well being of my family. 

Violations mentioned in the attached letter are pursuant to 15 USC 1681, 15 USC 1666b, and 15 USC 1637 ( b ). 

Transactions and experiences are not included on the consumer report but Capital One is unlawfully reporting transactions and experiences to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ( whom are non affiliated third party companies ). 

Regardless of the many violations, I need Capital One to honor my right to exercise the opt out nondisclosure option per 12 CFR 1016 and 15 USC 6802, and no longer report these transactions/experiences to the CRAs especially since the account is PAID IN FULL.
