Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
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. I know for FACT I did not give nor do you have my written instructions to furnish my information. Since I did not give you written consent to do such, that is identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. It has harmed my family and I severely. THIS SECTION ON WHY THESE CREDIT INACCURACIES ARE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR LIVELIHOOD and a financial hinderance for myself and family.

This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I expect a written response from your credit bureau within 4 days of receiving this letter. Failure to respond will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter further, including reporting the violation to the appropriate regulatory authorities and pursuing legal remedies available under the FCRA. 

I, XXXX XXXX state that the information you are reporting is not information relating to any transaction that I made by the consumer.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VT

Complaint narrative:
I have had a Capital One credit card for a while. In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, I noticed charges that I believed were not made by me. I disputed the charges and a new card was sent to me. I did not activate that card ( no 2 ). I discovered that a number of charges were made to that card when I received a bill. When I realized something was going on, I notified Capital One and locked my account. I filled out and submitted all of the documents that Capital One requested. Ultimately, these charges were determined to be fraudulent. While I was trying to resolve the issues with card no 2, a new card was issued to me. This card was sent to my family post office box. I did not request this card, either. I believe the card was sent to that po box because I had requested the documents I needed to dispute the charges on card no 2 be sent there. At this point, I was concerned that someone was intercepting my mail and had activated card no 2. I did not activate that card No 3. However, it was used to purchase {$7000.00} in product from one vendor. Initially, without my requesting, Capital One reversed that charge, but then reinstated. At the time of the transaction, I had received an email notification indicating the possibility of a fraudulent charge and I acknowledged that the charge was fraudulent. I have notified Capital One that I believe I am a victim of identity theft and fraud. There were several strange incidents around this charge. 1. the fraud alert, 2. there was an effort to pay the bill from a bank that is not mine, ( this was reversed ), XXXX there have been attempts to log into the account which were not made my me ( I have tried calling about this but was told there was no way to trace it ), 4. once when I tried to log in, another person 's name came up although I had saved my log in information. I have tried to resolve this with Capital One, i have called many many time and have not been able to resolve this problem.

Complaint narrative:
My wife and I were under a forbearance agreement with XXXX XXXX. We gave them one payment at that time of what we could afford, XXXX  started the billing process on us and stated that we were late now. They reported us late for the next 6 months till we had to work out payments and a loan modification. Since then, we have paid on time every month. We have complained about the negative reporting before, and their response is as always. Per the fair debt collection act, we have the right to report what we want. I have advised them that since they agreed at the time to follow the cares act, they are governed by the rules and not allowed to report something negative like that. the past two times they have stated they would check into it and have someone get back to us. Recently we applied for an equity loan and was turned down because of our payment history from the mortgage company. With a forbearance in place and after the modification we signed with them they have continued to show and report negative remarks from our past history and from our late fees and account issues from the forbearance time. they see in their system that we signed the forbearance agreement however they didn't follow the rules on their side. I have done the research and found that they have done this to several other clients also.
