State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed my card had been misplaced. That same day a charge in Florida was made of XXXX that was not authorized by me. On XX/XX/XXXX, A XXXX  transaction was sent to a XXXX. I have no clue who this is as I live in New York. A few days later, two payments of {$50.00} were sent to a XXXX. Later two payments of XXXX were sent to a XXXX as well as two more payments of {$50.00}. All totaling to over {$610.00} from these XXXX  transactions. I called chase multiple times and was helped by some rude representatives as well as very helpful representatives. They hung up the phone after I asked to speak to a manager. They invalidated my dispute because The charges were said to be made by my phone and using my face id. When the exact same face id they claim was used, can be used by using a picture to log into my chase account. I have contacted multiple departments and no one has been able to help. I wanted to close my account with chase and move to a different because of their upsetting customer service, but I have multiple payments set to this account and want to give it my all before i do that. I love banking with Chase but it is not worth losing {$600.00} that I could be using for my vet bills.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the unauthorized inquiries on my credit report for the third time. Despite my previous correspondence and submission of the required documentation, including the FTC Identity Theft Report, these unauthorized inquiries remain on my credit file. Upon contacting the respective institutions, it was confirmed that these inquiries were made in error. Additionally, I have been assured that these inquiries would be promptly removed from my credit report. However, it has come to my attention that, unlike your bureau, both XXXX and XXXX no longer report these unauthorized inquiries subsequent to the submission of the FTC report. 

It is perplexing and deeply concerning that your bureau continues to report these inquiries despite clear evidence of their fraudulent nature and assurances from the involved institutions. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), your bureau is legally obligated to conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation of disputes, promptly reviewing all relevant information provided by the consumer. 

Given this is my third attempt to rectify this matter, I demand an immediate reinvestigation of these unauthorized inquiries. This investigation must include a detailed review of the method of verification employed by your bureau to substantiate the continued reporting of these inquiries. If your bureau can not provide conclusive proof that these inquiries were authorized by me, they must be deleted from my credit report without delay.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, my contract hours were reduced to XXXX due to budget constraints before the contract ended on XX/XX/year>. Since then, I've made monthly payments of $ XXXX, and XX/XX/year> was my first attempt out of XXXX failed tries to request financial assistance. Capital One offered a payment plan of $ XXXX for 3 months which was more than my normal monthly amount. This plan was offered in all XXXX attempts I made to seek financial relief, I even suggested closing my account and lowering my rate to manage and pay off credit without damaging my credit. 

Now that I have no income, they will not assist or offer any financial assistance. This was their excuse the second time I requested during the time my unemployment was depleted. I reapplied and received additional funds, but Capital One offered the plan I mentioned above. 

A minimum payment is approximately {$230.00} at 28.4 % Variable APR and the monthly finance charge fee is approximately {$170.00}. 

I can not understand why there are no regulations when there is a job and economic crisis. It's disturbing how lenders and creditors handle such situations. They prefer to let consumers become delinquent and default on their loans rather than offer preventive measures.

Complaint narrative:
recently updated my information, which is the same information on my credit report with XXXX, Capital One still to this day after a month or XXXX of now having my phone number still wont send verifications yet when I used my card over Fathers Day weekend, first XXXX places I used it charges went through fine. XXXX merchant declined, received text from cap one ironically asking if I made the charge, I replied yes, received XXXX text indicating to attempt the charge again, I did, it went through. the XXXX merchant declined with no text received as with the XXXX charge, I called cap one to address, said they needed ID, I attempted with rep on the phone, their system wouldn't accept my ID after multiple attempts. They then asked me to upload ID to their portal. I uploaded my ID, based on manual review by Cap ONe, they said they can verify my identity. They next asked me to upload my ID, XXXX XXXX, and Proof of Address. I uploaded the same ID, uploaded copy of my ssn, and my verizon cell phone bill showing my name phone number and address, which is the same information they have on file, and was told Cap One still couldn't verify my identity. After many extensive conversation with rep after rep placing me on hold and hanging up on me, probably close to XXXX times, the rep I spoke to last said they were escalating the matter, and to again wait for a call I never receive, advised me I could make payments but can use my card I opened in 2023, lol .... Since, I received another email asking me to upload the same XXXX items, ID, XXXX, and Proof of Address, well since I've already done that, I drafted a letter and had it notarized and sent it to them to prove my identity, still no response. I requested any restrictions be removed, as there never should've been any to begin with. Im disgusted with their lack of integrity and how I've been treated. I could go on but its not worth it.

Complaint narrative:
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 section 602 ), consumer reporting agencies must handle their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumers ' privacy rights. XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX are such agencies, and as a consumer, I have the right to ensure my private information is not shared. This right is supported by 15 USC 6801, which asserts that financial institutions have an ongoing obligation to respect customer privacy and protect the security and confidentiality of nonpublic personal information. I have reached out to all three agency in hopes they would correct there gross misconduct by violating my consumer rights.

A furnisher of information to credit agencies, considered a financial institution under this title, must follow these guidelines. According to 15 USC 1681 section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), a consumer reporting agency can only furnish a consumer report with the written instructions of the consumer. Neither XXXX, XXXX, or TransUnion nor any furnisher of information to credit agencies has my consent to share this information, and any previous consent is revoked. 

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that a financial institution can not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is informed about their right to opt-out. I was never informed of this right. Additionally, 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) specifies that no consumer reporting agency may include adverse information in a report if it is more than seven years old, except for records of criminal convictions. The adverse item in question is being reported without my permission. Because of these laws being violated my personal information is not being used on the dark web and which case I am severely stressed out because the financial hardship that is being caused by this violation of my consumer rights.
