Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I disputed an {$8000.00} charge with Capital One for services not rendered by a company operating under misleading practices. Despite providing extensive documentation ( including evidence of misrepresentation, refund refusal, and XXXX  complaints against the merchant ), Capital One denied my dispute solely on the merchants cancellation policy. I was never given proper disclosures or a formal agreement by the merchant, and their refund process was conditioned on me harming my own credit. By siding with the merchant, Capital One failed to protect me from a clear case of fraud. I am requesting that Capital One re-investigate and uphold my dispute in line with federal consumer protections.

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.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Complaint : Unauthorized Apple Charges and Mishandled Dispute by Cash App Summary of Issue : In XX/XX/year>2025, my Cash App account was charged a total of {$1200.00} from XXXX Bill. These charges were unauthorized. I did not intentionally link my Cash App card to XXXX for purchases. However, once a card is added to Cash Appfor example, to send money to a friendit is automatically charged by merchants like XXXX without further consent. This behavior is misleading and lacks transparency. 

The cash app statement for XX/XX/year>2025 shows a transaction made on XXXX XXXX as cash app payment for the amount of {$85.00} but does not show who this payment was made to. 

Cash Apps Handling : I received multiple emails from Cash App stating some charges were declined for security reasons, yet the money was withdrawn. These emails are attached as supporting documentation. 

Dispute Attempt and Outcome : I attempted to resolve the issue through Cash Apps dispute process. Their response was " denied '' purchase made by consumer. This is unacceptable. 
I am requesting a refund of the remaining {$1200.00}, preferably via cashiers check.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute with the credit reporting agencies ( TransUnion and XXXX  ) but it was denied. I suppose I did not put enough detail, or the report may have been overlooked. I filed another dispute with the credit reporting agencies on XX/XX/XXXX describing with greater detail. TransUnion shows that the account status for XX/XX/XXXX was Charged off, XX/XX/XXXX it was 60 days late, XX/XX/XXXX was 90 days late and XX/XX/XXXX was Charged Off. This does not match up with XXXX  report showing that XX/XX/XXXX was 60 days late, XX/XX/XXXX was 90 days late, XX/XX/XXXX was Charged Off and XXXX was not reported. The account is Charged Off and has been charged off with the balance of {$10000.00}, therefore the balance should show {$0.00}, but it says there is a balance of {$10000.00} still reporting. I should have included the request for a copy of the 1099-C for the Charged Off account but I forgot to include it. I have attached the letters that were sent to TransUnion and XXXX.
