Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. 

Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I accidentally overpaid XXXX of my Capital One credit card accounts by selecting Pay Full Balance instead of the minimum payment option. I paid {$1600.00} to account ending in XXXX and {$2000.00} to account ending in XXXX totaling {$3600.00}. 

I noticed the error recently and contacted Capital One, requesting a refund of the overpaid funds. Despite the mistake being apparent and the payments made to closed accounts, Capital One has refused to issue a refund. 

It has been nearly XXXX months, and I have not received any credit back or resolution. According to Capital Ones stated policies, unused credit balances must be refunded upon request or automatically after XXXX billing cycles. I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in recovering the funds I overpaid. 

These payments totaled {$3600.00}, and were made unintentionally. I discovered the mistake in XX/XX/year> and promptly contacted Capital One to request a refund. I explained that I only intended to make the minimum required payments and accidentally selected the wrong option. Despite multiple contacts and the fact that both accounts are now closed meaning I no longer have access to the credit I paid for Capital One has refused to refund the money or provide a formal denial. 



o XXXX XXXX Truth in Lending Act ( XXXX CFR XXXX ) Creditors must refund any credit balance ( a situation where a consumer has paid more than is owed ) within XXXX business days of a written request. 

While this wasnt a technical overpayment, the funds were paid in error and are now locked in closed accounts, creating a de facto credit balance with no way to use it. 

o CFPB Billing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, creditors are required to investigate billing errors or disputed transactions promptly. The payment mistake qualifies as a billing error under these guidelines, especially when tied to the closure of accounts that prevent the consumer from accessing paid funds. 

o Capital Ones Public Policy According to Capital Ones customer support documentation, they state that credit balances may be refunded upon request and typically are refunded automatically after XXXX billing cycles. In this case, no such refund was issued. 

o Unjust Enrichment Capital One accepted payment for future credit use, then closed both accounts and retained the funds. I received no goods, services, or future credit, and the company is improperly retaining my money. 

Capital One has failed to process my good-faith refund request, despite their policies and federal law requiring them to address credit balances or payment disputes.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a written debt validation request to LVNV Funding regarding a collection account originally associated with XXXX XXXX. In response, they provided only a final billing statement and an account summary LVNV Funding created in their office. This does not satisfy the validation requirements under the XXXX. 
They failed to provide : a signed agreement or application, a breakdown of of how the balance was calculated, any documentation showing I agreed to the charges, and any legal proof that LVNV Funding currently owns or was properly assigned the debt. 
As a XXXX party debt buyer, LVNV must produce a chain of assignment and full documentation. A billing summary is not enough. I am requesting that this account be deleted from all credit reporting agencies.

Complaint narrative:
I never received proper notice of this debt from XXXX  XXXX or TSI before it was reported to credit bureaus. TSI claimed to email a notice, but I never received it and had no chance to dispute or validate before reporting. A full validation was only sent after I filed a CFPB complaint. I sent a certified validation request myself on XX/XX/year>, which was ignored until after credit damage was done. The initial communication came from an unofficial email, lacked FDCPA-required disclosures, and no itemized charges were provided. I dispute the validity and legality of the debt.
