Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint regarding fraudulent items on my credit report. I have recently discovered several items on my credit report that I did not authorize or participate in. These items are damaging my credit score and causing significant financial harm. Specifically, the fraudulent items on my credit report include several credit accounts that I did not open, as well as several charges and loans that I did not initiate or receive. The total amount of these fraudulent items is significant and has had a negative impact on my credit score. I have taken steps to dispute these fraudulent items with the credit reporting agencies and the creditors in question, but have not received a satisfactory resolution. Despite providing documentation and evidence of the fraudulent activity, these items remain on my credit report and continue to damage my credit score. I believe that the fraudulent items on my credit report are the result of identity theft, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my financial well-being. I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that these fraudulent items are removed from my credit report and that my credit score is restored to its previous level. I need the following items removed as soon as possible : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have attached copies of the dispute letters I have sent to the credit bureaus, as well as documentation proving the fraudulent nature of the items in question. Despite this evidence, the credit bureaus have failed to investigate my dispute and continue to report the fraudulent items on my credit report.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
This is for capital one XXXX  card Basically on the website it says for approved clients they would receive XXXX $ after spending XXXX. There is a point made that clients who have had this card in last 48 month will not qualify for this. That's the only thing on the page. 

When I agreed to sign up for the card I assumed if I get approved then I would qualify for the bonus too. 

Company said that not everyone will qualify for the bonus regardless if the person qualifies for the card. No where in the page did it say that. 

Here is link to the page https : //www.capitalone.com/credit-cardsXXXX  I viewed it on mobile. I also took screen shots

Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored. At this time I would like to prepare another appeal for investigation before I confer with my own counsel to obtain advice on how to handle fraudulent, incorrect and unverifiable account that is kept to be established as correct. I am in desperate need of this item to be INSPECTED and REMOVED.
