Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Elan Financial Service closed my account and sold the debt to multiple debt collectors to collect. After about 6 months they reported to the 3 credit bureaus that the account was still open in order to refresh the account date. This is in fact illegal to do so after the account was discharged especially after the account was sold. I then received a letter yesterday stating that I was one of the 3.2 million Americans impacted by the data breach and in the letter it stated that my information was extracted from Elan Financial Service site. This wouldn't of happen if they did not refresh the already closed account and keep my information in there system. My information is now all over the dark web from my birthday, social, telephone number, email etc. Because this company double backed and wrote off the debt and still tried to collect the debt while refreshing the account date with all 3 bureaus my private information was extracted from the data breach. I am now receiving phone calls from XXXX. This has been going on since XXXX and I did not know why until now. I would like the Elan Financial Service account information removed from all 3 credit bureau sites/credit report along with some kind of identity theft plan. I can provide all this documented information if need be. Thank you for your time and patience, have a blessed day.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Capital One regarding their failure to address and investigate inaccuracies in reporting on my XXXX credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a dispute letter to Capital One, requesting an investigation into the inaccurate reporting of an account that appears on my XXXX credit report. 

The account in question was included in a Bankruptcy Discharge and should not be reporting negatively. From the payment history all payments made from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX were consistently on time. Despite this, Capital One has continuously reporting this account negatively on my XXXX credit report. 

In my dispute letter, I explicitly requested Capital One to provide specific details pertaining to the account, including the type of account, scheduled payment amount, credit limit, high balance, date of last payment, payment status, and date of account closure. However, to date, I have not received any response from Capital One. 

Capital One 's refusal to investigate this account and provide the requested information is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and expect prompt investigation and resolution from the credit reporting agencies and the furnishing institutions. 

I have made diligent efforts to resolve this matter directly with Capital One, but their lack of response and failure to address the inaccuracies have left me with no choice but to escalate this issue to the CFPB for further investigation and resolution. I respectfully request that the CFPB intervene in this matter, conduct a thorough investigation into Capital One 's handling of my dispute, and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with the FCRA.

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a dispute letter to XXXX XXXX, requesting an investigation into the inaccurate reporting of an account that appears on my TransUnion and XXXX credit reports. 

The account in question was included in a Bankruptcy Discharge and should not be reporting negatively. Despite all payments being made on time for the past two years according to my payment history across all three credit bureaus, XXXX XXXX has failed to update the reporting on my TransUnion and XXXX credit reports accordingly. 

In my dispute letter, I specifically requested XXXX XXXX to provide detailed information about the account, including the type of account, scheduled payment amount, credit limit, high balance, date of last payment, payment status, and date of account closure.

Their refusal to investigate this account and provide the requested information is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and expect prompt investigation and resolution from the credit reporting agencies and the furnishing institutions. 

Therefore, I am requesting the CFPB to intervene in this matter, conduct a thorough investigation into XXXX Avant 's handling of my dispute, and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with the FCRA.
