Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the following negative items on my credit report XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  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.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I deposited a {$9300.00} check from XXXX  XXXX University at a Bank of America ATM. The bank placed a hold on the full amount until XX/XX/year>, citing that they have information indicating the check ( XXXX ) XXXX be returned. 

This hold is unjustified and contradicts Bank of Americas own Deposit Agreement, which states that state and local government checks must be made available by the next business day when deposited in the same jurisdiction. XXXX  XXXX University is a verified state institution, and there is no valid reason to suggest that the check will not be honored. 

I contacted Bank of America regarding this issue, and they failed to provide a specific reason or evidence that the check is at risk of being returned. Their explanation is vague and misleading, as their policy states that funds can not be held based on speculation alone. 

The hold has caused unnecessary financial inconvenience, as I deposited the check in good faith, expecting access to my funds within the standard time frame.

Now it is XX/XX/year>, and I have not heard anything back from my initial request.

" 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!

Complaint narrative:
CFPB TAKE NOTICE, THAT THE CEASE & DESIST WAS RECEIVED BY VELOCITY INVESTMENTS , LLC VIA CERTIFIED MAIL # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ON XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 15 USC 1692c ( c ). OF THE FDCPA STATUTE IS CLEAR. In Huebner v. Midland Credit Management , Inc., 897 F.3d 42 ( 2d Cir. 2018 ), the Second Circuit Court of Appeals addressed the scope of a consumer 's cease and desist request under Section 1692c of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). The court clarified that such a request obligates the debt collector to cease all forms of communication with the consumer regarding the debt, including communications with third parties like credit reporting agencies. This interpretation underscores that a consumer 's cease and desist request under Section 1692c requires the debt collector to halt all communications related to the debt, including those with third parties such as credit reporting agency THE FDCPA DEFINES COMMUNICATIONS AS TO INCLUDE ANY AND ALL FORMS, IN ANY MEDIUM OR FORMAT TO ANYONE INCLUDING MYSELF OR ANY THIRD PARTY. IT STATES ALL COMMUNICATIONS AND COLLECTIONS ATTEMPTS MUST CEASE. IT ALSO STATES THAT A CONSUMER HAS A RIGHT TO REFUSE TO PAY A DEBT WHICH I CLEARLY WROTE IN MY CEASE AND DESIST LETTER. COURTS HAVE RULED REPORTING TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES AMOUNTS TO COLLECTION ATTEMPTS AND AMOUNTS TO THIRD PARTY COMMUNICATION. SO AS DEBT COLLECTION COMPANY ARE GOVERNED BY THE FDCPA, THERE IS NOTHING IN THE FCRA OR FDCPA REGULATIONS THAT GRANTS A DEBT COLLECTORS THE ABILITY RO IGNORE A CONSUMERS RIGHTS UNDER WHEN A CONSUMER IN WRITTING INVOKES 15 USC 1692c ( c ). THE REPORTING, COMMUNICATING, AND COLLECTIONS ELIGIBILITY CEASES UNDER THE FDCPA WHEN A CONSUMER INVOKES 15 USC 1692c ( c )

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have several accounts with Capital One. I went onthe website one day and saw an offer To open a new savings account with them and recieve a interest rate of over 4 % and a {$1500.00} bonus. 
I was led to believe that by depositing {$20000.00} into a new 360 savings account, and leave the money in the account for 90 days, I would recieve a {$1500.00} bonus. 
I read the advertisement fully and decided it was a good idea, so I opened the account and started making arrangements to transfer the money for the deposit. After doing some of my own calculations, I was confused about the required steps, I decided to reread the rules to make sure I was doing things properly. When I went back into the website I could not find the rules. 
I called Capital One and spoke to the Representative to find if I had done things correctly, and when I would be recieving my bonus. She led me through the opening of the account, including the step of tapping the {$1500.00} bonus offer. 
I have several accounts with Capital One and have never had trouble with them where I had to issue a complaint, so I went ahead and made the deposit. 
After the 90 days, I recieved a {$300.00} bonus. 
I figured I had screwed up some how or maybe they were going to pay the {$1500.00} in increments. 
Im XXXX years of age, and my mind doesn't work as well as it use to. Since I saw the artical about the law suit, I fiure maybe I've been dupped.
