Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Capital One Auto has reported late payments for XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>. 
These entries are both unauthorized and inaccurate, and I am requesting their immediate removal from my credit report. 

**Inaccuracies and Legal Violations : ** 1. **Absence of Explicit Consent for Credit Reporting : ** The auto loan agreement with Capital One Auto Finance does not contain any explicit provision or clause granting Capital One the authority to report my payment history to credit bureaus. The contract only specifies my obligation to repay the loan and the consequences of default, such as repossession of the vehicle. This omission is misleading and deceptive. Reporting this late payment without clear, explicit consent is both unauthorized and unethical.

2. **Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Compliance : ** Section 623 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires furnishers of information, such as Capital One Auto Finance XXXX to report accurate and complete information to credit reporting agencies. The presence of this inaccurate late payment on my credit report is a clear violation of the FCRA, as it misrepresents the actual status of my account. 

3. **Unethical and Misleading Practices : ** Reporting this late payment without my explicit consent significantly impacts my creditworthiness, which is unethical and misleading. It fails to provide a fair and accurate representation of my credit history and violates the principles of honest and transparent credit reporting.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I noticed over the last 6 months that the interest earned on my Ally Bank savings account fluctuates up and down each month. This account is my emergency savings account and I have never needed to withdraw money from it. The balance only increases each month due to an automatic contribution/deposit and the earned interest. So I was surprised that the interest earned sometimes went down from the previous month. When I looked at my other savings accounts that I never withdraw money from that are with other banks/credit union , I noticed the interest earned per month only increased each month and never decreased. So I questioned Ally Bank about this and all they did was provide the interest calculation formula and tell me my interest values are correct. Intuitively it doesnt make sense interest would decrease some months even when factoring in the shorter months due to my balance.

Company: SOFI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I took out a personal loan with XXXX XXXX. That loan was purchased by SoFi. 

SoFI began servicing the loan in XX/XX/2024. The personal line of credit loan includes an automatic monthly EFT for interest payments. I have made 4 requests to SoFi to mail me statements for my loan. 
Despite 4 phone calls and spending more than an hour on the phone with SoFi representatives I have never received any documents regarding my personal line of credit or withdrawals, balance or statements. 

It is my understanding that if I have recurring EFT transfers from an account the financial institution is required to provide a monthly statement if requested. That request has been ignored on multiple occasions. 

I most recently spoke with XXXX, customer service rep from SoFi, who told me she could not mail me statements for my loan or my recurring withdrawals.
