Inquiry Details : Ask the creditor to provide specific details about the inquiry, such as the date it was made, the purpose of the inquiry and the type of credit product or service associated with the inquiry.

Complaint narrative:
To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

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. ''

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I was charged {$1100.00} by Capital One Travel onto my Capital One Credit Card. In XX/XX/year>, I was reconciling my accounts and could not account for this {$1100.00} charge. I called Capital One Travel - multiple times- and received the same answer- we do not know the specifics, we only know that it was a travel charge. They could not tell me if it was a car rental hotel or flight. Usually when Capital One Travel charges me, they identify the nature of the travel charge. Since all charges from Capital One Travel are essentially for " travel '' I needed more specifics. My phone calls should be recorded as Capital One Travel notes that they record all their phone calls before they being a customer service phone call. 

In XXXX, I phoned Capital One Credit Card and asked for help. They suggested I dispute the claim, which I did. Capital One Credit Card resolved the dispute, said that I owed the {$1100.00} but could not identify what specific travel charge this was - a car rental, hotel or flight. So I could not reconcile - especially since I did not have any record of paying {$1100.00} for any travel. 

After I received the dispute decision, I phoned Capital One Credit Card again and asked for help. That agent got us on the line together with a Capital One Travel rep. This rep could not find the {$1100.00} charge nor could they see any other travel charges for me on their system - even though the Capital One Credit Card system was able to see many different travel charges.

Since Cap One Travel couldn't identify the charge, the Cap One Credit Card rep suggested I file a fraud claim. I did and on XX/XX/XXXX received three letters 1 ) telling me the fraud was submitted 2 ) that they were working on the case and 3 ) that they resolved the case and I owe {$1100.00}. However, they still did not tell me what the charge of {$1100.00} is for exactly.

I just need to know what the charge is for - not travel - but what type of travel. I have no way to reconcile this with my accounts unless I know what it was for and I am completely frustrated that Capital One Travel is unable to tell me. That is why I wonder if this is fraud or an unauthorized charge- they simply can't tell me what it was for.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.
