Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have my mortgage payment set up to pay automatically from my bank on the first of each month ( when its due ). Last XX/XX/2022 after my payment was sent on time, I later got a check in the mail from XXXX Mortgage with no correspondence or any other information. I supposed it could be an Escrow refund. Next after my XXXX payment I received a notice my XXXX payment was late. I disputed this both with the bank and the credit agencies. For the next 4 months each of my on time payments went to the previous month continuing to show I was late. I finally had to make a double payment in one month to correct it, but they had reported me late 5 times because of their mistake, I am current and still have my payment deducted from my bank each month. This has hurt me credit score and my current ability to refinance due to no fault of my own and I need this corrected! Thank You

I was not informed that this type of loan was not covered under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. As a result of not knowing this information, my account went into a past-due status and hit my credit twice.

I called the current lender ECSI requesting copies of all the notices that were sent to me and was advised by a rep named ( XXXX XXXX that they have no way of issuing a copy of that information.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I decided to close my account, which was in good standing and had a credit balance. 
Using the phone app I tried to close the account. The app would not allow me to close the account. 
Using the latest credit card statement, I looked up how to close my account. 
I was directed to a customer service number. When i called the number I was put on a very long hold. I could not wait on hold that long, so I decided to write a letter. 
I wrote a letter requesting the account be closed and that my credit balance be refunded to me. I cut up my two copies of the credit card, taped them to the letter to return them and sent the letter by USPS, certified. 
It has been 3 months and I have not yet received any response to my letter. 
According to my phone app the account is still open and my credit balance is still there. 
With any other credit card company, most credit balances are refunded immediately. 
I do not see why this company has not closed my account as requested nor at the least refunded my money. USPS tracking indicates the letter was delivered to the company on XX/XX/2023. 
I would like to see my account closed as requested, my money refunded, and an interest rate charged for the use of my money equivalent to the interest rate this credit card company charges me for the use of their money, which, according to their statement is 25.74 %. 
Attached are copies of my letter, the latest statement that I attached with the letter when I sent it, proof of certified mail, and proof of delivery according to USPS tracking website. 
Please intervene on my behalf. Thank you!
