Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I spoke to an offshore representative from Capital Ones debit card services department after receiving a fraud alert text on my card. Someone had bought my numbers on the dark web, and I conclude this because the transaction, initiated in XXXX, Arizona, was not initiated by any known suspects, including my former partner who is located in Colorado. There had to be no other explanation. Due to this text alert, I had to list this as fraud. Then upon requesting a new card, I asked that the information on that card be in XXXX as I am totally XXXX. However, that information whether engraved upon the card itself or a slip of paper with a XXXX value for each line was not sent. The representative being offshore did not understand why I asked and did not receive proper training in the accommodations and why those are a must. Failing to send a XXXX slip of paper or provide XXXX on the card itself resulted in having to use a human reader, potentially putting me at great risk of financial exploitation and identity theft. I am especially vulnerable to stolen benefits, knowing that with a fixed income, a representative payee can go in and take control of my benefits, which is a for of financial extortion or exploitation.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to TransUnion requesting a detailed description of the reinvestigation procedures for items they had verified as accurate. I included my photo ID, social security card, and a recent bill with my current address to help TransUnion verify my identity and address. 

On XX/XX/year>, I received a response from TransUnion stating : We recently received a request that included your information, but it didn't appear that you or a properly authorized third party sent it to us. We take the privacy and security of your data very seriously, so we won't process requests unless they come directly from you or an authorized third party. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), when a consumer disputes the accuracy or completeness of any item on their credit report, the credit bureau is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is accurate. TransUnion 's response indicates that they did not investigate my dispute based on an assertion that my request was not authorized, despite my providing necessary identification and documentation. 

This response suggests that TransUnion has failed to conduct a reasonable investigation as required by the FCRA, thereby violating my consumer rights. 

I am including a copy of my dispute letter sent to TransUnion, along with XXXX response, as proof.

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan — Can't get other flexible options for repaying your loan
Company: SLM CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I graduated with my XXXX XXXX from the XXXX and also had around {$110000.00} in debt from Sallie Mae. My mother is my co-signer. From the beginning she refused to help me pay, not giving me a single dime. I was struggling to obtain a job that could afford the payments even on an income driven payment plan because she was linked to my loans. In XXXX I decided to go back to school in hopes to get a degree to get a job that would pay more. I had to quit school half way through because I ran out of the last forbearance from Sallie Mae AND ran out of government funding. I could not afford to pay school bills on top of this. When agreeing to the forbearance from Sallie Mae they VERY QUICKLY tell you that after you go back to school you will not be able to go back on an income driven payment plan, and it is in the finest print. I am now stuck with over {$1000.00} payments a month I simply cant make as I dont make enough money to live and pay this. They now want to take legal action against Me because I am 56 days past due and cant afford to pay my {$3000.00} past due balance.

Complaint narrative:
My student loans of {$140000.00} were transfered from XXXX to the servicer XXXX, and then payed down to a value of {$130000.00}. At some point the loan was transfered within XXXX as they have updated their online platform. Due to that update and creation of a new account number for my original loan, my Transunion credit report shows two active loans from XXXX for {$130000.00} AND {$130000.00}. 

This doubles my loan on my credit report and will likely affect my debt/credit ratio. XXXX has not been helpful in rectifying this and I have also filed a dispute with Transunion. 

The accounts are : XXXX/DEPT OF ED : XXXX XXXX/DEPT OF ED : XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the XXXX, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.
