Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies are required to ensure that all information they report is accurate, fair, and handled with respect for consumer privacy. In this case, they failed to meet those responsibilities. I never gave written consent for my information to be reported, which violates 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( 2 ). Because of this failure, my information has been used without authorization, leading to an alleged identity theft issue under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. The accounts being reported do not belong to me.

The company has also violated multiple provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Under 15 U.S.C. 1692f, they are prohibited from using unfair or abusive methods to collect a debt, including trying to collect amounts not permitted by law or agreement. They also violated 15 U.S.C. 1692e by using false and misleading claims in their attempts to collect a debt I do not owe. In addition, they contacted me at inappropriate and inconvenient times, which is another violation of federal law. 

I have been repeatedly harassed over a debt that is not mine and subjected to contact that is both inappropriate and unlawful.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am filing a formal complaint against Capital One Bank. 

On XX/XX/year>, I applied for a Capital One Quicksilver Secured XXXX, which required a minimum deposit of {$200.00}. I deposited {$300.00} to secure a higher credit limit. 

Capital One confirmed my application and the required deposit via email. However, the card was never delivered. I contacted their customer service multiple times and requested XXXX separate re-shipments, which also never arrived. 

Eventually, I canceled the application and requested a refund of my {$300.00} deposit. Despite numerous follow-ups, I never received the refund. 

I have email confirmations from Capital One regarding the application, the deposit, and the switch to electronic document delivery. I never received any product or service in return. 

Furthermore, Capital One has all my correct contact information, including my email address ( XXXX ) and phone number ( XXXX ), which I provided at the time of application. 

At the time I applied for the card, I was living at : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX My current address is : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am only reaching out to the Division of banks now because I was not aware this agency existed. I recently learned about your office through a recommendation from my sister, who suggested I seek your assistance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

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.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On my Bank of America credit card statement dated XX/XX/year>, I noticed an unauthorized charge for {$100.00} from XXXX * XXXX XXXX. I did not make this purchase. I do not buy XXXX products, and I have no subscriptions or payment methods saved with XXXX. 
I immediately contacted Bank of America to dispute the charge. The bank denied my dispute, stating that the merchant verified my name and address. Bank of America did not provide any documentation from the merchant such as a receipt, subscription details, email address, device information, or IP address. 
I contacted XXXX and confirmed that my XXXX account has : No purchases No subscriptions No payment methods No devices No billing history for over XXXX  years This confirms I did not authorize or receive any XXXX products or services. 
I attempted to contact XXXX directly at XXXX, but the automated system does not allow me to reach a live representative or resolve the issue. None of the XXXX support options allow me to speak with someone about this unauthorized charge. 
Over the course of this dispute, I spoke to XXXX different Bank of America representatives and was repeatedly transferred between departments, including the dispute department and existing claims. I was placed on long holds ( sometimes over XXXX hours ) and repeatedly redirected to the same number ( XXXX ), resulting in a closed-loop transfer with no resolution. 
I eventually went in person to a Bank of America branch, provided printed screenshots from my XXXX account proving I have no purchases or subscriptions, and the branch faxed this evidence to the dispute department. I am still waiting for confirmation. 
At this point, I have exhausted all reasonable attempts to resolve this directly with both Bank of America and XXXX. The charge is unauthorized, and I am not receiving proper investigation or documentation from the bank. 
I am requesting CFPB assistance to ensure the unauthorized charge is properly investigated and removed.

Company: Winklevoss Exchange LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I participated in XXXX referral promotion that promised a {$50.00} XXXX reward after purchasing {$100.00} in cryptocurrency and meeting the trading requirements within 30 days. 

I completed the required $ XXXX trade and my XXXX app explicitly displayed that my {$50.00} reward was scheduled to arrive by XX/XX/year>. I relied on this confirmation as evidence that I met all eligibility requirements. 

The payout date passed and the reward was never credited. After contacting XXXX support multiple times, I finally received a response stating that a restriction had allegedly been placed on my account, making me ineligible for referral rewards under their promotion terms. 

However, XXXX  refuses to provide any explanation or documentation regarding : What the alleged restriction is, When it was placed on my account, Why the app continued to display an earned payout and scheduled payment date if I was supposedly ineligible. 

I was never notified of any account restriction prior to or during the qualification period, and no restrictions were visible within the app when XXXX confirmed the reward payout date. Only after the promised payment date passed did XXXX  deny the reward retroactively using vague policy language while refusing to disclose evidence or explanation. 

I believe this constitutes deceptive promotional advertising and an unfair practice, where an incentive is advertised, shown as earned, and then withheld after completion of the requirements without transparent justification.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a follow up on a previous dispute I submitted concerning inaccurate information on my credit report. Upon reviewing my most recent credit report, I continue to find discrepancies regarding the reporting of late payment statuses on several accounts. Despite my prior request, the following accounts still appear to reflect inaccurate or misleading information. I have thoroughly reviewed my personal records and payment history, and I maintain that the late payment reports associated with these accounts are incorrect. I respectfully request a renewed and thorough investigation into these matters, and that the necessary corrections be made as soon as possible.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved.
