Complaint narrative:
This letter is my formal written request for you to investigate the following " Unverified '' accounts listed below : According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 your company is required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report to assure maximum accuracy. Without proper verification by your company, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 

I demand to see a copy of the Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) that you used to verify that the account belonged to me the first time you reported the account on my credit report. Your failure to properly verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681, unverified accounts must be promptly deleted. If you are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable proof that you have on file within 30 days for each of the accounts listed below then you must remove these accounts from my credit report. Please provide me with a copy of an updated and corrected credit report showing these items removed.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Capital One Account is restricted. I accidentally used an old saved XXXX account to submit a payment instead of my own that was saved to the capital one app. My account was restricted for fraud and now Im given one choice. To provide a proof of bank statement that the account is mine. I already explained it wasnt and the payment was an accident. This verification method does not apply to me as its not physically possible to verify the account is mine because its not. Ive explained that and yet the company tells me there are absolutely no other options to remove this restriction from my own account without the bank statement proof in my name??? This doesnt exist its impossible for me to provide but all I get from them is sorry. No service and to top it off they want to steal {$1000.00} of rewards money from my account and tell me its not eligible for usage until I provide the proof which by their one option will not be possible to get and they know that. This is the worst customer service Ive ever had with out any one really caring and looking into the specific issue and giving me options that are actually viable to clear this restriction.

I was stunned to see inaccurate accounts suddenly appear on my credit report this evening, with no explanation as to why.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America charged off the account in XX/XX/XXXX and still pursued me in court. They filed an action against me in XXXX. When was eventually served in XXXX they had many hearing without my knowledge in XXXX. I was not successful in court for requesting sanctions against their egregious actions. I requested sanctions and for the judgment to be vacated. I was unsuccessful because at the last minute, Bank of America decided to drop their ability to collect monies owed. I brought to the court attention. The fraud Bank of America was committing and attained a stay on the writ of execution. So instead of moving forward during our hearing, they withdrew their complaint. I have wasted many days preparing for this only for them to say never mind. I believe what they did was illegal that they knew the account was charged off and still proceeded to take me to court knowing they had no Real reason to collect. It doesnt make sense why a financial institution will go as far as to collect A judgment and then drop it at the very last minute. 
I have the register of actions showing all the steps they took to be successful and yet When I show the court they were illegal. Bank of America back off. Had I not been better prepared and known my legal rights, Bank of America wouldve garnished my wages with a default judgment. This should be investigated because they tried to take advantage of a XXXX person. Im also a military veteran, so the fraud is also considered a felony.
