Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft and submitted a police report, FTC Identity Theft affidavit, a written fraud statement, and a government-issued ID to Equifax to have a fraudulent XXXX XXXX collection removed from my credit report. XXXX  has already removed the FRAUD account from my report. 

Instead of complying with FCRA Section 605B, which requires Equifax to block fraudulent items within 4 business days, Equifax has repeatedly refused to act. Their representatives have : Refused to escalate to a U.S.-based fraud specialist Hung up on me multiple times Denied that supervisors have supervisors Provided false legal information, claiming they are not obligated to act unless documents are sent by mail, despite federal law applying to all delivery methods Mocked or dismissed my attempts to escalate and resolve the issue I called Equifax on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX at around [ XXXX ] unknown name, refused to escalate, refused to identify and hung up XX/XX/XXXX [ XXXX ] Called Executive Customer Relations line ( XXXX ), was forwarded back to standard support and disconnected by manager XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX [ XXXX ] Supervisor XXXX from XXXX call center told me he has no boss and that I can only complain to him about his own service XXXX XXXX [ XXXX ] Spoke to manager XXXX at XXXX call center who made be on hole for XXXX minutes before immediatlely talking very fast about filing complaints, refused to provide employee ID, interrupted me at every turn of discussion, told me to file a complaint on his service I have to send a handwritten letter by mail that I pay for the postage on, stated his supervisor does not take phone calls. 

I explained that filing a complaint with him about his own service would be the equivalent of filing a police brutality complaint with the officer who committed the offense. Still, I was met with hostility and eventually disconnected. 

XXXX has already removed the same fraudulent account within the legally required 4 business days. Equifax is knowingly violating the law and making it functionally impossible for a consumer to get identity theft resolved.

I am requesting : Immediate deletion of the XXXX XXXX account A written apology or explanation for employee misconduct Accountability for Equifaxs call center behavior and failure to provide a legal path to resolution

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I contacted CAPITAL ONE regarding account number XXXX and they confirmed the amount owed is incorrect. This account is a secured credit card with a credit of {$300.00}. I gave them {$300.00} to open the account. The account had a balance of {$510.00}, capital one used the {$300.00} I have given them to open the account to pay off a large portion of the {$510.00}. That would mean I have an amount left of {$210.00} left to pay. I had set up a payment plan with them so it tracks the amount I have paid and what is owed. I have made 5 payments so far totaling {$130.00}. That would mean I have only {$84.00} left to pay. However, my banking app says I owe {$180.00}. I spoke with Capital One Agent ID XXXX XXXX regarding this secure card and he confirmed this account is reflecting an incorrect amount and has submitted a credit request and is under review. The Case no. For the review and credit for this account with capital one is XXXX. I spoke with them on XX/XX/year>XXXX  at XXXX XXXX  cst.

I was alarmed to find these inaccurate late payment remarks on my credit report this morning without any explanation. As part of my routine, I reviewed my report, but this time, I noticed discrepancies that hadnt been there before. Hoping it was just a system glitch, I refreshed my browser, yet the errors persisted. Because of this, I am requesting a thorough verification of the documents I have provided so that I can put this issue behind me.
