XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I sent a request for an investigation under FRA 611 ( a ) to you in reference to the following account ( s ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX US DEPARTMENT OF EDU/Account XXXX XXXX THIS IS MY 3rd NOTICE REGARDING THESE FRAUDULENT ACCOUNTS You all have failed to reinvestigate these fraudulent accounts as you or required too I am hurt and confused to see I received a letter advising that you " VERIFIED '' the information. I am curious as to how you verified this information and would like to receive physical documentation to support this erroneous information on my report. Ive been a victim of identity theft so there is no way you were able to verify anything. FCRA states information reporting has to be 100 % verifiable and 100 % accurate otherwise the information must be removed under federal law. Your company has been reporting unverifiable and inaccurate information on my credit report which has damaged my credit. I intend to litigate if this information is not DELETED from my report. Please do not " update '' or " verify this information again without doing a due diligence investigation. I am requesting to be provided with the written contract & physical documentation to support the information that is being reported on my credit report via USPS mail. Screenshots will not suffice. Send my actual signature on a contract. As this debt is Not mine. I am asking for this verification because my credit score is important to me, and after learning of my identity being compromised I believe it is being unjustly degraded as a result of this unfortunate error. I would therefore request that you please do no send me a template letter in response to this request. I am in the process of planning a legal case, so I will need specific answers to the specific questions asked of you in this letter. I have faith that your establishment will do the right thing and truly investigate this matter and if you do not have proof the debt is valid which you will not because of identity theft then please DELETE the information. I expect to receive a response within 15 days of receipt of this letter, or I will expect to see the items in question permanently expunged from my record.

Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Capital One is predatory ....

I was advised that the interest rates are variated by the government and that Capital One has no control over the interest rates the agent has no control over the interest rates and no one there can adjust interest rates. They are fixed APRs according to the government..

I was advised that if you want a lower interest rate you will have to do the following which I consider to be predatory hostile and detrimental to one 's credit. If one were to do these actions it would involve damaging one 's credit score.

To lower your interest rates you will have to do the following Make sure your card is paid off and then cancel the line of credit which will hit your credit as a canceled line it will hit your credit as lowered available credit and it will hit your credit as available credit.

Once the damage is done reapply to Capital One for a new card and hopefully we'll give you a lower credit interest rate..

No guarantees .... But you'll have to cancel the other lines of credit before we can issue these new lines of credit and possibly lower interest rates...

Capital One says we're just apply for a new credit card the Capital One won't let me apply for new credit card it says I have too many accounts they say that's not possible that must be an error in their system ....

I have a stellar credit rating I have four cards of Capital One right now two of which are paid off One is below 25 % and one is below 15 %.

All four credit cards are approximately 30 % interest respectively XXXX and change XXXX and change XXXX and change and almost 30 %. 

so to get a better credit rating I would have to cancel a card take the hit on my credit score reapply to Capital One take the hit on the credit score and hopefully get a credit card with a lower interest rate that sounds very predatory.

So there's no way to adjust the credit rate to reapply to fix modify an account that's already existing according to Capital One no ....

In perspective to other cards that are in my pocket XXXX cards are arranging between XXXX and 20 % XXXX  are ranging between XXXX and 20 % and a XXXX XXXX XXXX is approximately 19 % so why is Capital One at 30 %... 

I have placed a hold in a freeze in all four lines of credit with Capital One I will continue to migrate the debts over to a different line of credit and I will file to to either remove or close these accounts once I receive confirmation from the CFBP that this complaint is filed.

So Capital One is advising me at this time to hurt my credit to get a new line of credit with a better interest rates because they can't adjust their own interest rates.
