Consumer complaint received 2023-05-08 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
This complaint refers to a {$1000.00} deposit made as part of the sign-up process for a Capital One 360 Performance Savings account. The account has been closed and Capital One has failed to return this deposit. 


On XXXX XX/XX/2023 I opened a Capital One 360 Performance Savings account. Part of the process was to initiate a transfer of funds from a personal local savings account into this new account. I made the transfer of {$1000.00}, and my local bank shows the transfer having been completed. 


On XXXX XXXX, I did not have full access to the new account, so I called their customer service number. I was told that my account needed additional verification ( there had been no notice of this via email or via messaging through my new account ), and that I would need to download an app to my phone which would then be used in a complex operation to take a picture of my drivers license, front and back, under very narrow constraints. After half an hour, the process continued to fail and so I told the customer service rep that I didnt feel like online banking should be this complicated. I asked them to close my account and return my {$1000.00} initial deposit. After the phone call was transferred to somebody else I was informed that the account would be closed, and that the deposit would be returned to its original account. 


On XXXX XXXX I found that I was no longer able to log into my Capital One account ( which is understandable, and was part of what I requested ), and that I would need to call their customer service number. In the meantime, my {$1000.00} from my local bank had not been returned. I called Capital One customer service number and, after entering my information, was directed to voice mail. It appears that there is now no way I can actually talk to anybody. The voice mail greeting says to leave name and phone number, and that they will try to return the call if its needed. 


On XXXX XXXX, my {$1000.00} deposit still has not been returned, and I have left a third voice mail ( again, there is no way to access a live representative ) informing them of the problem, that they need to return my {$1000.00} initial deposit to the local account from whence it came, that I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and that I am now preparing this complaint for submission to the CFPB. 


I do not suspect malicious behaviour, but probable significant deficits in their customer service that prevent this from being resolved. Nevertheless, they continue to retain my {$1000.00} initial deposit and they provide no way for me to resolve the situation other than for me to leave voice messages that they say they might return if necessary.

I would like to state that company is in violation of 15 Usc 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) which states that a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report with the written consent of the consumer. I NEVER gave your company then written consent to furnish a report on my behalf. No consent is identity theft! I demand that you remove the inaccuracies off my consumer report immediately!

I have not been able to obtain credit, insurance, employment, or housing as well as suffered mental anguish, XXXX, and homelessness. You have prevented me from extending credit and stopped my livelihood by violating my rights to consent and privacy. I demand all negative accounts be removed as followed : XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Self is a credit building product. I began with a loan and later opted in to a card. What I have noticed is that what the company has been reporting incorrect information monthly as it pertains to my balance. I reached out to customer service on today XXXX and spoke with XXXX representatives. The first rep was not knowledgeable in providing me the dates and advised that I look at my credit report. The second representative advised that Self reports to the credit bureaus at the end of the month and there is one set date. I confirmed by asking her to repeat in which she stated it is once a month the last week of the month. My issue is that my statement closes on the XXXX. The statement information is not what is being provided to the credit reporting bureaus instead new information from an active cycle is what is being delivered. This is making my utilization be higher than it should and thus instead of helping to build my credit it is harming my score. For instance at the end of the XXXX statement my balance was {$80.00} when self finally reported it showed {$490.00} and due to me rebuilding my credit this account I do not have high limits at all so this {$490.00} erroneous report made my utilization be 45 % when in fact my utilization should have been well below 10 %.
