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!

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/scrub> 2025, I filed a complaint with the CFPB and included my FTC report and reference ( XXXX ) number. Despite this, TransUnion has claimed they could not locate the FTC report and instructed me to file another, even though I had already spoken to a TransUnion representative five days earlier. During that call, I was informed that my case was escalated and that all requested corrections would be completed within 72 hours. To date, nothing has been resolved.

Additionally, after removing a fraudulent collection account, TransUnion deducted XXXX points from my

credit score when, in fact, my score should have either increased or remained the same. I was assured this error would be corrected, yet no action has been taken. Furthermore, the unauthorized inquiries I listed in both my previous and current reports must be removed immediately, as confirmed by a TransUnion agent.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On my checking account, a fraudulent debit of {$100.00} was posted. Capital One initially issued a credit, but later reversed it and deemed the transaction valid. This action left my account in a negative balance. Additionally, the temporary refund that was issued did not even cover the full {$100.00} fraudulent debit. Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( Regulation E ), I am entitled to protection from unauthorized electronic transfers, and Capital One is responsible for resolving this matternot directing me to Cash App or the merchant. For clarity, I have never used XXXX XXXX in my life until this year, and the very first time I did, I was hit with this fraudulent charge. I also want to make it clear that the {$130.00} transaction related to my daughters earrings was legitimate, but the {$100.00} debit in question was not.

Because of Capital Ones reversal, my checking account remained in a negative balance. This in turn affected my separate Capital One credit card account, where I have auto-payments for personal services ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc. ). These scheduled payments failed due to insufficient funds. While those legitimate auto-payments were blocked, Capital One continued to approve multiple small charges ( e.g., repeated {$0.00} XXXX tax charges ), pushing my card over its limit.

This added further strain and created unnecessary account issues. This situation is especially burdensome for me as I am currently unemployed and a U.S. veteran. The way this dispute has been handled has caused undue financial hardship and stress. I am formally requesting the following, in writing : 1. A full explanation of how the checking account dispute was investigated and why the {$100.00} fraudulent debit was deemed valid. 2. Correction of the incomplete refund and restoration of the full {$100.00} fraudulent withdrawal.

3. Reversal of any negative impact on my credit card account caused by failed auto- payments and over-limit charges.

4. A clear statement of what Capital One will do to prevent further harm to my accounts.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will be forced to escalate by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ( OCC ), and any other applicable regulators. While I would prefer to resolve this directly with Capital One, I need both accounts corrected and my funds restored immediately.

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX
