On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/, I used my Capital One credit card to purchase flights from the XXXX website. Later that same day, I called XXXX to modify my reservations and was advised that this would cause additional fees. I told the agent to cancel my reservations and was place on hold. Capital One apparently suspected fraud and utilized its Account Validation system to prevent XXXX from proceeding to charge without my permission. It worked. I hung up from holding with XXXX and called Capital One. The Capital One agent advised that the charges could not yet be disputed as they were still pending but unfroze my card and said these charges would all be considered disputed once processed. 

Subsequently, both XXXX and I submitted documentation to Capital One. Although initially agreeing with me that these charges were unauthorized, Capital One has now reinstated all disputed charges. 

XXXX has now falsely claimed that I agreed to settle this dispute. Despite my demand, Capital One has not provided any evidence ( since there can not be any ). 

Capital One has not formally acknowledged any of my responses disputing these charges. Its messaging web page is used only to memorialize communications favorable to the Bank.
