Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I was sued by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, represented by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I filed an official response with the court and sent a certified debt validation request under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). The documents they provided in return did not include a signed agreement, full transaction history, chain of title, or proof of legal authority to collect the debt. 

On XX/XX/year>, I sent a second certified rebuttal letter requesting full validation. They received it on XX/XX/year>, but I have not received a response since. Despite this, XXXX continues to report the account to the credit bureaus as valid, which is inaccurate and harmful. 

I believe this violates my rights under the FDCPA and potentially the FCRA. The company has made no effort to resolve or respond to my good faith request for documentation. I am attaching copies of my letters and delivery confirmation.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Equifax for their failure to properly respond to a fully supported dispute concerning fraudulent credit inquiries made without my authorization. I am a documented victim of identity theft due to the XXXX XXXX data breach, and my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) are being ignored. 

On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a formal dispute to Equifax, including all required documentation : Government-issued photo ID Proof of current address ( utility bill ) Social Security card FTC Identity Theft Report filed via XXXX The dispute explicitly referenced FCRA 604 ( a ) ( 3 ), which outlines permissible access to consumer reports, and FCRA 605B, which requires credit bureaus to block fraudulent information resulting from identity theft. 

Despite full compliance on my part, the following unauthorized inquiries remain on my Equifax credit report : XXXX  XXXX  XX/XX/year> XXXX XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> XXXX  XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year> These inquiries were made without my knowledge or consent, and I have no business relationship with any of these entities. Equifaxs inaction has left fraudulent activity on my credit report, negatively affecting my financial integrity and violating my rights under federal law.

I respectfully request that the CFPB initiate an investigation and compel Equifax to : Remove the above-listed unauthorized inquiries from my credit file Confirm the resolution in writing Ensure compliance with all relevant FCRA statutes Thank you for your assistance in protecting my consumer rights.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I discovered that multiple payments I made in excess of my monthly minimum on my XXXX motorcycle loan were not applied toward the loan principal but were instead allocated to future payments. This was never clearly disclosed to me, and it results in Synchrony Bank holding excess funds without applying them to reduce my loan balancecosting me interest and financially harming me.

When I called to ask about making principal-only payments, a Synchrony rep told me I could do so over the phone. Based on that, I attempted to make such a payment. I was then told that this information was incorrect and that principal payments can only be made by mailing in a physical check to a specific address.

This is a deceitful and anti-consumer practice. Synchrony is making it intentionally difficult to pay off loans faster by creating barriers to principal-only payments and failing to disclose how payments are applied. They are profiting off borrower confusion, and its wrong.

Complaint narrative:
I was shocked to discover an unauthorized inquiry on my credit report today, and I dont understand why its there. I always monitor my credit report, yet this time, an unfamiliar entry appeared out of nowhere. I even refreshed my browser multiple times, but the issue persisted. This is completely unacceptable, and I need it addressed without delay. I am requesting a thorough review of my submitted documents to ensure this never happens again.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Capital One repeatedly sent me pre-approval letters for XXXX and XXXX XXXX credit cards stating I was " pre-approved '' with specific promotional offers. Based on these representations, I applied for both cards expecting approval. 

Despite the pre-approval claims, both applications were rejected. This resulted in hard credit inquiries that damaged my credit score. The promotional terms were not honored.

This involves potential violations of Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act, and FTC Act regarding deceptive advertising practices.

Capital One 's misleading pre-approval marketing caused unnecessary credit damage and wasted time on applications that were never genuinely pre-approved. I request CFPB investigation and assistance obtaining resolution.

I have attached two copies of multiple pre-approval letters that Capital One has sent to me over the past few months.
