Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I want to be absolutely clear : I did not authorize these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these inquiries be blocked and removed from my record. I want to stress that this request is not a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation of facts. It's crucial to highlight that these transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. By emphasizing this, I hope to convey the seriousness of my request and ensure it receives proper attention. Furthermore, I want to emphasize that my request is based on accurate and relevant information, and I have no intention of deceiving or manipulating the situation in any way.

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that i see this negative, unauthorized fraudulent account on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to start a business for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & XXXX breach some months age so I figured you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel my information is being protected. This is defamation to my character and is a federal law violation. According to 15 U.S.C, 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I AM upset!! I AM depending on the banking system and credit reporting agencies to promote my privacy and fairness and they haven't. This is not right, going against my federal consumer rights, causing emotional and mental stress. Also, it is illegal, neglect, and fraud for companies and should not be furnishers of people 's information to 3rd parties. I have reported this to the proper legal departments. Including FTC. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. These companies and credit bureaus can be sued. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am thinking about filing ligation, if negative items are not removed IMMEDIATELY. I am suffering.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I had purchased tickets from XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX 2024, I purchased a refund protection plan with the tickets that guarantees my full refund if I decide to cancel for any reason the total amount charged to my credit card was {$140.00} and the festival is not until XX/XX/XXXX. I used the festivals refund option and went almost a month without a response. After that I went through the dispute process with Capital One as I purchased it with a Capital One credit card. I have uploaded documents proving that I was entitled to a full refund, I provided proof of purchase and the festivals refund policy information, yet multiple times Capital One has sided with the merchant ignoring blatant facts that the merchant did not uphold thier own written policy that is on thier site. Capital One told me that the merchant proved they provided the service they sold to me, however the festival isn't until XX/XX/XXXX and I purchased a refund protection plan, it is impossible that they provided the service, when the festival hasn't even taken place yet. I still have not heard anything from XXXX  XXXX XXXX they're clearly a scam or fraudulent business as they respond to the credit card companies but not the customers.
