Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

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.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
I was enrolled in Capital One Venture card promotion requiring a {$4000.00} in spending to earn XXXX bonus miles. I was approximately {$500.00} short of meeting this requirement by the original deadline. 

I contacted Capital One and spoke with a manager who provided me with a written letter letter stating per your request, we have extended the time period for you to make purchases to qualify for the rewards bonus to XX/XX/year> as a one time courtesy.

I relied on this written extension and spent the additional money needed to reach the {$4000.00} requirement. I made all necessary purchases by XX/XX/year> as specified in their letter I have receipts proving all purchases were made by the deadline. 

Despite written terms, Capital One is now declining to provide the promised bonus. When I called to inquire, they stated I was declined for the bonus. 

When I referenced the written extension, Capital One changed their position and claimed the purchases didnt post to my account until after XX/XX/XXXX. This is a new condition that was never mentioned in their extension letter which specifically use the language make purchases not post purchases. capital one refuses to honor the written commitment. They claimed to have no reference number for our calls and will not escalate the matter appropriately. 

I am providing : a copy of Capital Ones written extension letter, receipts showcasing purchases made by XX/XX/XXXX, and account record showing their later posting dates. 

This appears to be a clear case of financial institution, providing written terms to a customer, the customer relying on and meeting those terms, and then the institution attempting to retroactively add conditions that were never disclosed. The difference between making purchases and hosting purchases is significant posting is controlled by capital ones processing systems, not by customer actions. I fulfilled my obligation exactly as capital one specified in writing the refusal to honor this agreement despite clear documentation is unacceptable business practice.
