They stated the account was verified by how is that possible if they did not do a proper investigation according to the law? Also, every piece of information on this account is still not reporting 100 % accurate. And according to the FCRA 15 USC 1681, everything has to be 100 % accurate. I have previously requested that you investigate this information and you have failed to correct the errors you are reporting on my credit report.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I was approved for a {$200.00} " Platinum Secured '' credit card from Capital One in XX/XX/2021 to improve my credit. My credit has improved to the point where Capital One approved me for a {$3000.00} unsecured card this month. I called to ask about releasing my deposit and was first told Capital One never converts unsecured cards to secured cards. I was then told that they actually do convert them, but customers can't ask for this, Captial One just does it when they feel like it. This appears to be a scheme by Capital one to hold on to the liquid assets of people looking to improve their credit. XXXX also approved a secured card for me, but they have a clear path lined out towards getting your deposit back. Anyone looking to improve their credit should look to another bank than Capital One because they'll hold on to your money for an indeterminate period of time even when your credit does not indicate a level of risk that would necessitate a secured card.

Company: ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I applied for a loan with NetCredit. I received a loan in the amount of {$8600.00}. For the next XXXX years I made payments of {$220.00} every two weeks until I stopped in XX/XX/XXXX. I made payments totaling {$11000.00}. No additional charges or funds were received from NetCredit. Currently, NetCredit is trying to collect a remaining balance of {$10000.00}. This a a predatory loan and it is unethical for me to pay over double the amount borrowed. I do not feel comfortable, morally or financially, continuing to pay them. Because of this the account is negatively impacting my credit.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I settled my JCPenney MasterCard Account with XXXX XXXX XXXX The Balance at the time was {$5500.00} and we settled at {$2200.00} over 24 monthly payments. We sent a total of 19 monthly payments from XX/XX/XXXX all the way through XX/XX/XXXX ( total of {$1500.00} ) and then in XX/XX/XXXX we received notice that XXXX XXXX could no longer honor the settlement because they no longer had it in their office. This obviously made no sense to me because we had an arrangement in place that was taken care of and then out of nowhere it's no longer in place? That is incredibly unfair! I tried reaching out to XXXX XXXX but they told me they could not do anything and that it was Synchrony Bank 's decision to " recall '' the account.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/2022, I was alerted by my bank and by a credit monitoring service that I had a new hard inquiry on my credit report. Upon investigation, it was an hard inquiry from Bank of America on my XXXX credit report. I have never authorized this bank to do this. I contacted XXXX that same day to dispute the hard inquiry, and was informed that I would need to contact Bank of America to obtain an " Inquiry Deletion Letter. '' I have made numerous attempts to contact Bank of America, and found it nearly impossible to make contact with any agent of their organization. At last, on XX/XX/2022, I was able to establish such contact. After being bounced around from agent to agent with promises of being transferred to their " fraud department, '' I finally spoke with an agent who ran my name and SSN through their system to at least check to see if anyone had successfully opened any accounts with their organization ; the agent told me that she did not find a profile for my name and SSN. I asked about the Inquiry Deletion Letter that XXXX requires, and she said that I was the second person this week that had asked for one ; she had spoken to her supervisor, and they were unaware of anyway to obtain such a letter from Bank of America. I want this hard inquiry removed from my credit report!

Complaint narrative:
15 US Code 1681b-The term consumer reporting agency means any person which, for monetary fees, dues, or on a cooperative nonprofit basis, regularly engages in whole or in part 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, and which uses any means or facility of interstate commerce for the purpose of preparing or furnishing consumer reports. 
-This congressional law clearly states that the consumer report agencies compile information for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports to third parties. So this company is in fact the furnisher of my consumer credit report, which I never gave written instructions. By law they must have written instructions from the consumer to furnish any information pertaining to my private information. This information that is being assembled and evaluated is not public accessible so therefore my right to privacy is also being violated. 
15 U S Code 1681b ( 2 ) permissible purpose of consumer reports- In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

15 U S Code 1681b ( 3 ) states to a person which it has reason to believe- ( A ) intends to use the information in connection with a credit transaction involving the consumer on whom the information is to be furnished and involving the extension of credit to, or review or collection of an account of, the consumer 15 US Code 1681a ( 3 ) ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. With these laws stated you can see how this company is breaking the law by furnishing, assembling or evaluation my consumer information without my written consent or instructions.
