Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information being reported on my consumer credit report by Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  for ( Account Name XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) ( Account XXXX  XXXX ) [ Specifically, Equifax is reporting the account as " Pays account as agreed '' with a " 30 days past due '' delinquency. XXXX  is reporting " Paid account/was 30 days past due '' with a " 30-day delinquent '' status. XXXX  is reporting " Paid or paying as agreed '' but does not indicate a payment status. ] These reports are inaccurate and need to be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' and " Paid as agreed '' for all accounts. These entries are inconsistent, contradictory, and inaccurate. I am requesting that the status of this account be updated to reflect " Paid on time '' or " Current, '' and the worst delinquency status be updated accordingly to ensure accuracy in reporting. Upon review, I have discovered that these entries violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( CRA ), particularly Section 611, which requires consumer reporting agencies to ensure the maximum possible accuracy of the information contained in consumer reports. Furthermore, the entries were reported without my written authorization, in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ), which mandates that consumer information can not be accessed or used without the explicit written consent of the consumer. I expect a detailed response outlining the findings of your investigation, including documentation of the original written instructions from me, with my wet signature, authorizing the reporting of this information, and an explanation of the legitimate purpose for reporting these late payments. Additionally, I request a thorough investigation into these disputed late payments as per Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) of the FCRA and written confirmation of the investigation 's completion, along with details of any actions taken to rectify this matter. 

Lastly, I request documentation to verify compliance with 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which mandates that periodic statements must be delivered at least 21 days before the payment due date, including the periodic statement and corresponding tracking number to confirm timely delivery. I have attached proof of the inaccuracies and highlighted them in red for your convenience. I trust that you will handle this matter promptly and in compliance with all applicable federal regulations. I look forward to receiving a response within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
The consumer reporting agency has willfully violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports, by furnishing or reporting information on my credit file without my written consent or legal authorization. I did not provide any written instructions allowing the agency to collect or disclose this information.

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: NY

Complaint narrative:
While I was at a nightclub in XXXX, my phone was stolen and subsequently used to make unauthorized purchases. Upon reviewing my account, I noticed that although I had used my Capital One card a couple of times to buy drinks, the bartender continued to charge my card for additional transactions that I did not authorize or initiate. 

I immediately filed a police report and submitted a complaint to the clubs ownership. The police investigation is still ongoing, but the club has since stopped responding to my inquiries. 

I then contacted Capital One to dispute the fraudulent charges and to request that my current card be deactivated and replaced with a new card tied to a new account number, to prevent further unauthorized activity. The representative I spoke with assured me that these actions would be taken, but no disputes were filed, and no new card was issued. 

As a result, I was forced to call Capital One againthis time incurring international long-distance charges, since Im still abroad. I find it unacceptable that I have had to repeatedly follow up at my own expense due to Capital Ones failure to act on my initial report.

I am now considering legal action against Capital One for : Reimbursement of long-distance phone charges incurred due to repeated follow-ups Compensation for the time and stress caused by Capital Ones inaction Failing to safeguard my credit card information and account as expected Thankfully, I was able to remotely remove my card details from my stolen phone before further unauthorized charges were made. However, the handling of this situation has been frustrating and unacceptable.

I used their service to see if my data was leaked somewhere and they found my information on the dark web.

I dont really know how fix this, especially since Ive heard that the dark web can be a very lucrative source. I supposed my best choice would to report this to bigger authorities. This is a very scary and worrisome experience.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.
