Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On Tuesday, XX/XX/year>, between XXXX PM and XXXX PM, I received a series of emails from Capital One. The first said my phone number had been updated on my profile. The next said I was approved for a XXXX XXXX, followed by another confirming I opted to go paperless. Then I got XXXX saying I may be eligible for a higher credit line. 

I was immediately alarmed because Ive been through this beforewith XXXX XXXX  a few years ago, someone opened a bank account in my name without my consent or knowledge. I got random emails then too, and now its happening again, this time with Capital One. Ive had to lock and freeze my credit all over again, which is just ridiculous. 

I contacted Capital Ones fraud department on XX/XX/year>, and was given case number # XXXX. Unfortunately, the agent I spoke with was apathetic, showed no empathy, and didnt seem to care at all. He took my information but barely acknowledged my concerns. His tone was flat, and at times it felt like he wasnt even paying attention. He told me the investigation would take 90 days and advised me to file a police reportwhich Im not doing, because the city Im in wont handle a case like this, especially since I dont even know where ( city or state ) the person signed up for this Capital One card. One of the emails even mentioned the card would arrive in 710 daysbut to where, I have no idea.

I need this account canceled immediately. Im likely going to have to freeze my credit permanently now. This is outrageousthese financial companies are just letting random people open accounts without verifying documentation or conducting proper investigations. I want this stopped before it goes any further.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding an issue I experienced with Chase Bank related to the deposit of a settlement check in the amount of {$10000.00}. 

Approximately XXXX year ago, I attempted to deposit a settlement check made out to me, into my brothers Chase account. At the time, I did not have my own bank account, and I did this with my brothers full consent. I visited a Chase branch in person, and the tellers informed me that I could deposit the check as long as my brother signed the back of it. 

However, Chase placed a hold on the check and later stated they were unable to verify my identity. They told me their verification process relied on confirming a phone number under my name, and that my phone number did not match their records. I provided valid photo identification and later confirmed with my phone XXXX that the number is indeed registered under my name. Despite this, Chase was unable or unwilling to verify my identity.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.
