Consumer complaint received 2022-10-24 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I received at statement from Capital One for my XXXX credit card with a balance of {$740.00} and a due date of XX/XX/2022. 

It is my custom to pay the card balance in full each month so that I avoid interest charges. On XX/XX/2022, prior to XXXX, I attempted to make the payment but could not because the Capital One app was malfunctioning. I was eventually able to make the payment of {$740.00} ( my full balance ) but not until after XXXX. I called and spoke with XXXX around XXXX who informed me that because I called and made them aware of the situation with the app that I would not be charged and that if I was charged I could call back they would remove the charges. 

On XX/XX/2022, I received a statement from Capital One which included an interest charge of {$49.00} and a late fee of {$25.00}. This is despite me having paid my entire balance of {$740.00} on the due date. I called Capital One and requested that the interest and fees be removed as I was instructed and was told that I did not " qualify for a waiver ''. I then spoke with supervisor XXXX who told me that she would not be waiving the fees. I feel that it is unfair and deceptive on the part of Capital One.

Complaint narrative:
As the federal government agency charged with implementing and administering the federal consumer financial laws, the CFPB is committed to ensuring that companies follow the law. For that reason, the CFPB and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which together with the CFPB helps enforce fair credit reporting laws However, the FCRA requires procedures to assure accuracy, and the fact that a CRA obtains information from another source simply does not mean that the information is free from error These CRA 's erroneously are reporting inaccurate information on my consumer file and requesting me to provide them with personal information pertaining to my person, however, are allowing 3rd party furnished to provide them with personal information to be included in my consumer report, this constitutes fraud and defamation of character. 


The FCRA regulates consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ), which includes any entity that, in exchange for monetary fees, regularly engages ... in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information or other information on consumers for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports to third parties. 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( f ).

A credit reporting agencys reliance on a reputable furnisher may be evidence that the credit reporting agency followed reasonable procedures. However, contrary to the district courts holding, reliance on a furnisher does not categorically insulate a credit reporting agency from reasonable procedures liability under section 1681e ( b ).

If a CRA willfully fails to comply with any requirement of the FCRA, it may be held liable by a private plaintiff for actual damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00} per consumer. Id. 1681n ( a ), ( 1 ) ( A ). If a CRA negligently violates a provision of the FCRA, it may be held liable for the actual damages arising from the violation. Id. 1681o.
