Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding XXXX  and XXXX  unauthorized reporting of my personal information. I recently became aware that these consumer reporting agencies, along with the furnishers of information, have been reporting my private data without my written consent. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a report with the consumers written instructions, which I have never provided. Additionally, under 12 CFR 1016.7, I have the right to opt out of such information sharing at any time, and I am now exercising that right.

Furthermore, I was never informed of my right to prevent nonpublic personal information from being disclosed to nonaffiliated third parties, as required by 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( b ) ( c ). 

I respectfully request that XXXX, XXXX, and the furnishers of information cease reporting my information immediately, as their actions violate federal law. Detailed information regarding these violations is included in my attached letter. 

I appreciate your time and attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX is inaccurately reporting late payments on a closed/charged off account. This violates FCRA reporting account guidelines. 
The account is listed as " Closed '' on XX/XX/year> and shows " Charge Off '' status, yet it reports late payments in XXXX and XX/XX/year>, which is both illogical and inaccurate. Once an account is charged off or closed, it can not legally continue to accumulate late payments or additional derogatory remarks. This violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act under section 607 ( b ), which mandates the reporting of accurate information.

Complaint narrative:
My Experian account was hacked. Someone got into the system, was able to change/update the email address and phone number to theirs. When I tried to correct this, the system would send a " verification number '' to the email listed, which was the fraudulent address. There was no way to correct the fraudulent information that was hacked into my Experian. I ended up closing the account. How did someone gain access in the first place? Experian needs more structure in verifying people before allowing them access.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I closed my Capital One credit card account in early XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, my account was credited {$15000.00} by a merchant for duplicate charges. 

Since then, I have had to call in over XXXX times, and spent over XXXX hours on the phone trying to get a refund check for the credits issued by the merchant. 

Despite XXXX separate assurances from XXXX from Capital One representatives that a negative balance refund check was processed and would arrive within XXXX business days, I have received no refund as of today XX/XX/XXXX, more than XXXX months after the credits were posted. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a formal demand letter requesting immediate refund of these funds. On XX/XX/XXXX, instead of refunding my money, Capital One sent a letter ( Case # XXXX ) placing a temporary restriction on my accountan account that has been closed for over XXXX months. 

I have done everything I can to resolve this matter amicably with Capital One prior to filing a Federal Lawsuit. I am filing this complaint to have further documentation for the XXXX in the event Capital One continues to illegally withhold my funds. 

Capital One has clearly violated the following federal laws : 1. Fair Credit Billing Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1666 et seq. ) This federal law requires that creditors promptly refund credit balances. Specifically, the FCBA requires creditors to refund credit balances within seven business days of receiving a written request and to make a good faith effort to refund credit balances that have remained on an account for more than six months.

2. Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq. ) This federal law prohibits financial institutions from ignoring or delaying correction of billing errors.

3. Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices under the Consumer Financial Protection Act Repeatedly claiming refund checks were sent when they were not and placing a restriction on a closed account constitute misleading and deceptive business practices.

I have also sent a copy of my complaint to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 
I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report. 
15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any.information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.
