Complaint narrative:
My student loans were posted back in XXXX. The only notification of this that I received were emails to an address that I dont even have access to anymore. I was told that they tried to call me, but I have no recollection of this. Nor did they try to leave a message, send a text, or any other form of contact. My credit score dropped XXXX points and I had no idea until months after I had missed payments since I had no idea I was supposed to be paying it off yet. If you look at my bank account, I have enough money to pay off the loans in full right now. So obviously I wouldve been making payments if I had known. I am really upset because I take good care of my finances and this is not an accurate reflection of my character, discipline, or financial habits. The second I saw they were late I immediately paged them off and tried contacting all relevant organizations to fix this. I submitted a dispute that was denied but I am hoping it gets looked at again. This is very unfortunate and unfair to someone like myself who is very proactive and attentive to situations of this nature. Thank you for your time.

This is the final and most important step. Here is a guide on how to fill out each section on this page with clear, powerful, and accurate information based on your entire experience. 

1. What happened? 
This is your narrative. It needs to be a chronological story of the failures by both the merchant and Capital One. You can copy and paste the text below into the text box. 

Suggested Text : On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased XXXX limited-edition collectible vinyl records from the merchant XXXX XXXX  XXXX for a total of {$220.00}. The items I received on XX/XX/XXXX, were significantly damaged, with dented and creased album jackets that diminished their value as collectibles. 

I immediately contacted the merchant with photographic proof of the damage. The merchant refused to provide a resolution, incorrectly claiming the album jacket was " just packaging. '' I then requested to return the damaged items for a full refund, and the merchant again refused to help or accept a return. 

Because the merchant would not resolve the issue, I filed a chargeback with Capital One ( XXXX # XXXX ). My experience with Capital One 's dispute process has been defined by repeated procedural failures : First Incorrect Closure : Capital One initially denied my claim, falsely stating that I had not provided the necessary information, even though I had. 

Second Failure : Upon calling to appeal, a Capital One representative and manager incorrectly argued that the merchant 's " final sale '' policy was a valid defense against a claim for damaged goods. This contradicts XXXX Regulation 13.3, under which the dispute was filed.

Third Failure : After escalating to a manager on XX/XX/XXXX, the manager reviewed my evidence, verbally agreed that my position was correct, and assured me the case would be reopened and resolved in my favor.

Final Failure : Despite this direct commitment from a manager, I received yet another letter from Capital One closing the case again. 

Capital One has repeatedly failed to review evidence, correctly apply XXXX 's rules, and honor the commitments made by its own management. I request your intervention to resolve this.

Complaint narrative:
These entries remain unverified and questionable. Despite multiple attempts to have these inaccuracies properly investigated and resolved, no meaningful action has been taken. I have submitted all required documentation and followed up repeatedly, yet the errors persist. This ongoing lack of action has caused undue financial hardship and has significantly affected my well-being. The mental and emotional toll of dealing with these unresolved discrepancies has been overwhelming. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a fair and accurate credit report, including the removal of unverifiable or incorrect information. I urge you to take immediate steps to verify and rectify these items, as failure to do so constitutes a violation of my rights under federal law.
