Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law. 

I request the immediate removal of the following inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information on my credit report : Disputed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I rented a car in XXXX through XXXX from a company called XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  I paid in full online and agreed to the terms shown at the time of booking. These terms did not mention GPS tracking, cross-border penalties, or additional cleaning charges beyond what is reasonable. 

When I picked up the vehicle, I was given a different printed agreement, which I assumed matched the online version. I was not clearly informed that GPS tracking would be used or that it could result in financial penalties. After returning the vehicle, I was charged an additional XXXX PLN ( approx. {$390.00} USD ), including XXXX PLN for allegedly crossing a border ( based on GPS data I was unaware of ) and XXXX PLN for cleaning which was not justified or documented. 

I submitted a formal chargeback request to Capital One, providing evidence that : The original booking terms did not disclose these charges, The contract had been changed after I paid, GPS tracking was used without informed consent ( violating XXXX data laws ), The company ignored my written request for access to the data they used against me. 
Capital One denied the chargeback without fully explaining why. I requested that the case be escalated to the Executive Office or submitted to XXXX arbitration, and Capital One refused both. I also requested clarification about the chargeback decision process and was not provided with a meaningful explanation. At no point did Capital One acknowledge the fact that the charge was based on terms not disclosed at the time of purchase. 

I believe Capital One failed to fairly evaluate the evidence and did not follow proper procedures under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Their refusal to escalate or allow arbitration left me with no recourse.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received notice from an identity monitoring agency ( XXXX for XXXX ) that I had an alert that an account was opened with my personal information. I contacted XXXX and was told to reach out to Citibank. I was never able to reach a live person and became stuck in a phone tree because I could not provide an account number. I had not consented to opening an account. I contacted Citibank through XXXX and was provided a phone with Citibank 's Application Department. This Department only handled credit cards and could not help me with a debit card nor could provide me a phone number where to call. 
On XX/XX/year>, I received a Pin Number, but the correspondence did not indicate for which bank. On XX/XX/year> I received a debit card from Citibank but I did not consent to open this account with my personal information. I repeatedly called Citibank to report the issue but could not get out of its phone tree. I finally got through to a live person ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/year> at XXXX a.m., who found out that there is an Open Case with the Security Department ; however, no additional information was provided to me because they could not verify my identity!!! I was provided no reference number, how long the review would take. I'm just supposed to wait for a determination - no questions asked? This is nuts!

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Description : TransUnion is inaccurately reporting a XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy on my credit report that was furnished by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). XXXX has admitted in CFPB Complaint # XXXX that it does not obtain bankruptcy records directly from the court and can not amend, delete, or verify any data it furnishes. This makes the record unverifiable and noncompliant under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Despite this, TransUnion continues to report the record and failed to properly investigate my dispute, relying solely on LCIs data.

XXXX XXXX, XXXX  I sent a certified final demand to TransUnion ( USPS Tracking # : XXXX ) demanding deletion of the record.

FCRA Violations by TransUnion : 1681i ( a ) : Failure to conduct a reasonable and independent reinvestigation 1681e ( b ) : Failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) : Continued reporting of unverifiable and inaccurate information Reliance on a furnisher ( LCI ) that has no authority to verify or validate bankruptcy data
