Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

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.

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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was the victim of a boss impersonation scam ( also known as social engineering fraud ). I received instructions from someone impersonating my boss, who pressured me to urgently purchase {$2500.00} in gift cards from XXXX. Believing this was a legitimate work request, I used my Capital One credit card to make the purchases. I later discovered this was fraud and reported it immediately to Capital One. 

My fraud claim was denied, with Capital One stating that I authorized the transactions. However, I did not authorize them in any meaningful sense- my consent was obtained under deception, duress, and fraudulent misrepresentation. This is recognized as fraud, not an authorized purchase. 

I am requesting that Capital One reopen my case, investigate it properly, and honor its responsibility under the Fair Credit Billing Act and its own XXXX liability fraud protections. I have filed reports with the FTC and local law enforcement, and I can provide supporting documentation. 

I am asking the CFPB to ensure that Capital One treats this case as fraud, not a consumer error, and provides the protection that federal law requires.
