Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Capital One regarding their reporting of late payments on my credit report, which I believe may be in violation of the CARES Act ( Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ) credit reporting provisions. 

In XXXX XXXX XXXX, I contacted Capital One seeking financial assistance due to a COVID-19-related hardship. I was informed that I would need to miss a payment before being considered for a hardship plan. As a result, I missed the payment for XXXX XXXX and subsequent payments for XXXX and XXXX were reported as late on my credit report. 

The CARES Act provides specific consumer protections for individuals affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Act, if an accommodation is made, such as deferred payments or forbearance, creditors are required to report accounts as " current, '' provided the account was not delinquent prior to the accommodation. 

In my case : I proactively contacted Capital One to seek assistance due to financial hardship caused by the pandemic. 

I was instructed to miss a payment to qualify for the hardship program. 

Despite seeking accommodation, the late payments for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX were reported on my credit report, potentially violating the CARES Acts credit reporting provisions. 

I contacted Capital One via letter to request the removal of the late payments from my credit report. In their response, Capital One confirmed that they had reviewed my account but stated that the late payment reporting for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was accurate and did not need to be changed. They did not acknowledge the provisions under the CARES Act that might have applied in this situation.

Complaint narrative:
This company has done unjustifiable practices of the FDCPA which prohibits such acts. They inherited this account that we didn't agree upon and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties and I did not have a part in any of this. The company didn't follow the proper 5-step validation procedure.

According to the FDCPA, Im entitled to compensation for these violations and clearly, they violated my rights and abused my privileges. I demand this account be taken off immediately.

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 XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Subject : Formal Dispute of Collection Account Violation of Consumer Rights Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally dispute the presence of a collection account on my consumer report. The collection agency responsible for this account has failed to comply with several provisions of federal law, and I am requesting that this account be removed from my report immediately based on the following violations : 1. Failure to Provide Validation Information ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ) ) : The collection agency has placed this account on my consumer report without providing the required validation information. Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), the agency is obligated to provide specific validation information regarding the debt, which has not been done. This failure to validate the debt violates my rights as a consumer. 

2. Lack of Opportunity to Dispute ( 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ) ) : I have not been given a proper opportunity to dispute the account. According to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), a consumer must be informed of their right to dispute the debt before it is reported to any consumer reporting agency. The collection agency did not provide this information, which prevented me from exercising my right to dispute the validity of the debt.

3. Use of False and Deceptive Means : The collection agencys actions constitute a violation of my consumer rights by using false and deceptive means. Reporting a debt without proper validation and disclosure is misleading and creates an inaccurate reflection of my financial situation. This is a clear violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
4. Violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ) : The collection agency has no authority to furnish information regarding this account to any consumer reporting agency without providing the necessary disclosures required by law. Their actions are in clear violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ), as they have reported the debt without meeting the required legal standards for disclosure and accuracy. 
I respectfully request that this collection account be removed from my consumer report immediately. The actions of the collection agency have caused undue harm, and I expect swift and appropriate action from the CFPB to address these violations of federal law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct. 

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified. Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the item listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the companies directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THIS ITEM? I believe you have not verified this item based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy.

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX  I called GM Financial to ask for a loan payment plan due to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX They agreed and asked me to verbally agree to a contract that would put the 2 payments that were behind on the end of the loan. They refused to let me read the agreement beforehand so that I could clearly see what I was agreeing to. They also asked for a payment on the spot which I gave them. A month later and I have never received a copy of the plan for review, and also see on their website that they are not just asking for more than what the monthly payment usually is, but also they are reporting that I paid less than what I actually paid at the time of the agreement. This is the specific reason that I wanted to see the agreement beforehand which they not only refused, but claimed they had no way to show me. I recorded the whole conversation as evidence to my concern, fearing that it could lead to where we are at currently.
