I was deeply upset to discover unauthorized inquiries on my credit report tonight, with no explanation as to why they appeared. My routine credit check revealed these discrepancies out of nowhere, and despite refreshing my browser to see if it was a glitch, the issues persisted. I'm asking for a careful examination of the documents I've submitted to ensure I no longer have to worry about this happening again.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Case Number : XXXX Credit Card Number : XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding their handling of a alleged debt collection matter involving myself and American Express National Bank. I have clear evidence in the form of email correspondence, which I will attach for your review. 

On XX/XX/year>, I engaged in an email exchange with XXXX XXXX, the lead associate attorney at XXXX XXXX XXXX, regarding a request I made for a detailed financial statement under penalty of perjury related to the alleged debt in question. In my email, I explicitly requested this information to verify the accuracy of the claims against me and ensure transparency in the debt collection process. 

XXXX XXXX assured me in her response that she would provide the requested financial statement under penalty of perjury. However, to date, I have not received the requested documentation despite multiple follow-up attempts on my part. This failure to provide the promised information raises concerns about the transparency and accuracy of the debt collection process being pursued by XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of American Express National Bank. 

I believe that the actions of XXXX XXXX XXXX may constitute a violation of consumer rights and fair debt collection practices. The failure to provide essential documentation as requested has impeded my ability to assess the validity of the claims against me and protect my rights in this matter. 

I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations. I have attached copies of the relevant email correspondence for your reference. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt review and response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received several emails from Capital One on XX/XX/year> saying the following : - '' One or more phone number on my Capital One profile has been updated. '' - '' You've been approved for a Platinum Card. '' I had also received an email on XX/XX/year> by XXXX saying that " There's a new hard inquiry on my credit report. '' On XX/XX/year>, I received another email from Capital One saying " my card has been shipped. '' Upon discovering all of these emails, I checked the Capital One website and attempted to see if I had an account associated with the bank. Sure enough, after entering specific information such as my email, SSN, and birth date, I found an account under my name associated with the bank under a phone number that does not belong to me, nor do I recognize at all.

I have never created an account with Capital One, or have ever banked with them ; therefore, I believe I am a victim of identity theft since a credit card was opened in my name without my knowledge or consent.
