Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I noticed that Discover Card placed a debt on my credit bureau in the amount of {$8600.00}. I have tried to work with Discover and let them know that this account doesnt belong to me. I have asked on several occasions for validation in which I havent received. The company Discover is now threatening to sue me and this isnt my account. I have sent numerous letters to all three credit bureaus with no proof being sent. I started sending letters on XX/XX/XXXX up until XX/XX/XXXX with no reply. This is ruining my credit and I really need this off of my bureau. Thank you!

Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. 

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Dear NAVY FEDERAL, I am writing in response to the denial of my credit application. I would like to formally express my disagreement with this decision, as it has caused significant distress and is, I believe, unjustified based on my creditworthiness. 

As outlined in Title 15, Section 1691 of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), it is required that any denial of credit must be based on valid and verifiable reasons, and I have not been provided with adequate reasoning for the decision. My creditworthiness, as shown in my credit report, is sound, and I have consistently demonstrated responsible financial management. 

I would also like to clarify that under the provisions of the law, only the board of governors of the institution has the authority to deny an extension of credit. If the account is not opened as requested, I must rescind my application and seek resolution through other means. Should the matter not be resolved in a timely manner, I will be forced to pursue legal action to ensure that my rights as a consumer are respected and upheld. 

Additionally, I am prepared to sign a promissory note in accordance with the terms and conditions of your institution if the credit extension is reconsidered and approved. 

I trust this matter will be given the attention it deserves, and I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Yesterday, I received a phone call from Capital One Bank involving my auto loan. This person stated they were from Capital One involving a recent survey I responded to involving my interactions with a representative. All responses to the survey were XXXX 's or something within that realm. 

This representative states in the very beginning of his call that he is from Capital One. Then, proceeded to say that this is an attempt to collect a debt. Then, says he was responding to my survey responses. 

Again, I outlined the same information involving previous representatives ( idiots ) who were advised on multiple occasions that their alleged automated payment application was stalling on posting payments accruing extra daily interest on top of my already ridiculous 19 % interest rate! 

So, had he taken the time to read and comprehend my current comments ( which I have every right to express freely ) and have already conveyed to several employees within their organization - who have done absolutely NOTHING to resolve- he would have come at me in a different manner. 

His actions violation the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act! I don't take kindly to ignorance. Considering, my car payment was already made on time and he was responding to my survey.
