Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2025 sent me a letter regarding my dispute with XXXX in the amount of {$970.00} dated XX/XX/2025. The letter stated : " Based on the information we received, the merchant 's decision not to honor your refund request appears consistent with the terms and conditions the merchant makes available to consumers in connection with the purchase at issue '' I ( cardholder ) am aware of no such rule published by XXXX that considers the merchant terms of sale when a chargeback is filed and processed. 

Cardholder respectfully requests that Capital One cite the exact XXXX rule and/or regulation to support this statement. Each XXXX rule is numbered. Please provide that number and or publication from where Capital One is getting this information. 

Please be aware that it is my intent is to resolve this information with accurate information. If there is a rule or regulation from XXXX then this will resolve this issue and cardholder will discontinue pursing this matter.

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 was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and XXXX  inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint FTC Report Number : XXXX as proof from the XXXX Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and XXXX  inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no 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:
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 4 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 30 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:
Even though I have a nearly XXXX credit rating and possess several totally paid up credit cards ( as well as all other debts for which I'm responsible ), I am being shut out from eligibility to open new credit cards, now for a period of about a year, by apparently all of the Big Three credit rating companies. It's like I'm being punished : A long time has passed and no change in their reports ; and communicating with them is totally inadequate in terms of getting satisfaction ( like a stone wall ). The reasons they give are : 1 ) TOO MANY INQUIRIES LAST 12 MONTHS, 2 ) INSUFFICIENT TIME SINCE NEWEST ACCOUNT ESTABLISHED, 3 ) LENGTH OF TIME ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED, 4 ) RATIO OF REVOLVING BALANCES TO CREDIT LIMITS ARE TOO HIGH and NUMBER OF RECENT INQUIRIES ON CONSUMER REPORT. This analyses regarding my credit risk are erroneous and self perpetuating : Each time I try to apply for a new credit card opportunity ( and am denied ) it evidently restarts their clock and I can never get out of this vicious cycle. Please look into this matter and require the Credit Rating Companies to lift these unfair limitations on my ability to enjoy the credit that I have earned and deserve. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. )

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
