Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute inaccurate personal information currently listed on my credit report. Upon reviewing my report, I found incorrect details under my personal profile, such as outdated or unfamiliar names, addresses, phone numbers, and/or employment history. 
I have not used or been associated with some of the information listed, and the presence of these inaccuracies could result in misidentification, confusion with other individuals, or even potential fraud. I have already submitted requests for correction and provided documents to verify my true and current information, yet the errors remain unresolved. 
These inaccuracies are not only misleading but could also impact future credit decisions. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to ensure that all personal information in my credit report is accurate and up to date.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/ 2024, I had an existing car loan with Capitol One. I took out a loan with XXXX XXXX that used my car as collateral. As part of that process, XXXX XXXX paid off my Capitol One loan to obtain the title. 

Within 24 hours, I canceled the XXXX XXXX loan within their 7-day cancellation policy and returned all funds to them. This should have resulted in a complete reversal of all transactions, including the payoff Capitol One received. 

However, Capitol One has refused to properly reverse this transaction. Instead, they want to : 1. Keep XXXX XXXX 's payoff check 2. Simply return the title to XXXX XXXX 3. Not reinstate my original car loan This approach is unacceptable because : 1.Capitol One received money as part of a loan transaction I legally canceled 2. They can not keep money from a canceled loan without providing the loan service 3. This would leave me without any car financing despite having paid for it 4. They are essentially profiting from my canceled loan It has been nearly 7 weeks since I canceled the XXXX XXXX loan, and Capitol One refuses to coordinate the proper reversal that would restore my original loan terms.

Complaint narrative:
Im writing to formally dispute an inaccurate tradeline currently being reported on my credit file. The information being reported is not accurate, and more importantly, it fails to meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy as required by 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Let me be clear if a tradeline can not be reported with complete and verifiable accuracy, then you are not legally allowed to report it at all. Right now, the way this account is appearing on my credit report is misleading, harmful, and not reflective of my true credit history. Thats unacceptable, and I will not sit back while my credit profile is being damaged by something that shouldnt even be there.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX had {$29.00} of interest charges apply to the card after the card was paid in full according to what was seen as total balance due at time of payment I contacted XXXX to resolve the issue and they stated that interest is accrued even after you pay your total amount due in that billing cycle I asked them how would I know that if I paid the entire balance that was due up until that point and it showed XXXX XXXX  owed how would I know that theres interest and why would there be interest thereafter? 

They said its the companies policy and they have to follow it and took the {$29.00} off the card but refused to remove from my credit report I argued that it is unfair to me if I think I paid the entire balance that you report me to the credit bureau for charges that I was not able to see and that I did not accrue if it was a XXXX balance I would like this taken off my credit report I feel like it is unfair and unjust for me to be penalized for paying my balance in full for fees that they didnt even send me notification in the mail that I was unaware of!
