Consumer complaint received 2025-02-24 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
A neighbor from a few houses down or the server probably dropped off my paperwork stating I was sued. I opened the door and found paperwork. The packet looks incomplete. Did someone take my personal information? They put my personal information at risk by doing that. No one served me with papers or handed me something. 

Was that a scare tactic? Did the person share more information with whomever received the paperwork? Did that person find out and tried to return the paperwork? How come I find these important documents on the floor of my door. 

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) forbids third-party debt collectorsfrom engaging in fraudulent and deceptive behavior. They also cant harass you by : Making early-morning or late-night calls Telling family, friends, or others about your debt. Who did they tell? I have no friends and family here in this town. 


Capital one and some law firm is suing me and I found out by opening the door to my house and finding this packet with a missing page. I called the company and all they said was sorry but its your word against theirs. I filed a complaint but we are interested in payment. So you want to talk to someone about your payment options?

Im scared, this is what I find first thing and no one cares. I was a member for Capital one for a long time and was never late except when I had the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called to tell them but they didnt care as all they worry about is money. Proving it again with this new tactic.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Last spring I uploaded all the documents to the Dept. of Education website for student loan forgiveness because I was a teacher for 13 years at Title 1 schools, and then worked at a non-profit for 4 more years. The department of education never informed my loan providers that my case was pending. I also clicked the button to put my loans in forbearance. Only to find out that neither actions were comunicated to my loan providers. When I called, the representative told me I should have never uploaded my doicuments onto their website. When you log on the website, the instructions cleary state that the information should be uploaded to them. They failed to do what they were supposed to. Then in XXXX, my loan provider said I was late and my credit score was dinged 7 times for essentially one combined loan. Therefore, my credit score went from an XXXX to a XXXX in minutes. I am in the midst of getting a home and now that has to take a back seat for another year until my credit is restored. All we have in this country is our credit score. And because of their negligence, I have to rebuild my life.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

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.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment to be updated. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information r
equired by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Good day, I can not overstate how frustrating and overwhelming this situation has been. Waking up to an unfamiliar debtone that is unverified and not mineis both shocking and unfair. On top of that, I have been subjected to relentless harassment through various communication channels, with escalating tactics, including threats of legal action. As a law-abiding consumer, I find it deeply insulting to have my rights so blatantly violated. This has taken a serious toll on my mental well-being, causing undue stress and sleepless nights.

I contacted Fig by email and was advised to open a dispute with the credit bureau. I do not feel that this is a fair business practice and I am unsure why my payment was not updated in their system until XX/XX/XXXX. I will attach the emails from the company and the screenshot of the date the payment posted to my account.
