Consumer complaint received 2025-08-04 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing in reference to the account listed under my name that you claim has been charged off and is still being pursued for collection. I respectfully request verification of this debt and clarification on the following legal points under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S. Code 1692g, and relevant tax laws.

If this account was charged off by the original creditor, it was likely declared as a loss for tax purposes under IRS regulation 26 U.S. Code 166 ( Bad Debts Deduction ). This indicates the creditor may have received a tax benefit by writing off the debt as uncollectible. If so, I request documentation proving : 1. The amount that was written off ; 2. Whether the original creditor or subsequent owner took a tax deduction ; 3. Whether the debt was forgiven, sold, or transferred. 

A charge-off is an internal accounting movenot a legal judgment. You are still required to validate the debt under the FDCPA, and I assert my right to receive full verification before any further collection attempts continue. 

Additionally, if the debt was sold, I request the legal contract showing your ownership and the amount paid. If the debt was forgiven or included in a XXXX tax cancellation notice, I request documentation of that as well, which may indicate the debt is no longer legally collectible. 

Please cease all collection activities until full validation has been provided. Continued attempts to collect without verification are a violation of federal law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I am receiving calls from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX about a debt that they claim is connected to me or my father. They are calling me repeatedly, even though I have never opened a credit account in my name. 

I turned XXXX recently and attempted to start building credit, but was unable to get approved anywherecredit card applications were denied, and I was told I had no credit file at all. Ive never co-signed anything and have no debts that I know of. 

I believe this is either a case of mistaken identity or potential misuse of my information. Ive informed the company that I am not the person theyre looking for, and Ive asked them to stop calling, but they continue to contact me. 

I would like this investigated and for the company to cease all communication with me unless they can provide verified proof of any debt connected to my name and Social Security number. I am also concerned about the possible presence of fraudulent activity on my credit file.

Complaint narrative:
Despite repeated attempts to resolve these matters, Experian continues to allow damaging inaccuracies to persist on my credit profile. These unresolved errors are more than just frustratingthey are unjust, and they are actively interfering with my ability to move forward financially. Every time I apply for a loan, a credit card, or any financial opportunity, these incorrect entries stand as barriers that I shouldnt have to face. It is unacceptable that after multiple disputes, you still havent taken the appropriate steps to ensure your data is correct. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you are legally required to verify every single reported item with original, legitimate documentation. If you can not confirm the accuracy of these records with credible, dated evidence, then these entries have no place on my report and must be removed immediately. I am demanding that you conduct a thorough reinvestigationnot a generic response, not a rubber-stamped review, but a meaningful audit backed by proper documentation. Continued delays and inaction will be treated as a deliberate and unlawful disregard of your obligations under federal law. Ive been more than patient, but my patience has run out.
