Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
Kohl 's opened a line of credit in my name with Capital One Visa without my consent. This is a violation of regulation Z of the Truth In Lending Act because I was not informed of Kohl 's true intentions and not given the option to decide against this. On XX/XX/2024 I received the new credit card in the mail with instructions only how to activate it and what rewards there are from purchases made with it. The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure ( CARD ) Act requires credit card issuers to disclose all rates, limit fees, and limit the cardholder 's liability for fraudulent transactions. Every piece of paper that has come in the mail including faq 's page does not disclose any of this information. I have had to go down a rabbit hole searching for an interest rate or any information online. 
I haven't used my Kohl 's store credit card and several years which is what makes this so alarming to me! With interest rates being so high in the general population struggling against fraudulent online purchases and data breaches on a regular basis, I'm appalled that a company that I haven't done business with was able to open a line of credit in my name without my consent. I honestly and wholeheartedly believe that the intention of Kohl 's / Capital One Visa was to ensnare as many unsuspecting consumers into high interest rate debt for profit only!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Experian reports contain incorrect information regarding a credit account I did not open with XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX. I opened a dispute which was eventually denied. I contacted XXXX XXXX  directly as instructed by Experian and was told they could do nothing since the account had been closed in 2021. XXXX referred me back to Experian. 

Experian was no help whatsoever. I am concerned with the information being on my credit report as I have learned that my SSN has recently been compromised. 

The report reflects that the account was opened for an individual with the following address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Address ID # XXXX Single family I have never lived at that address, nor have I ever visited XXXX Florida . I do not have any friends or relatives in that area so I can only assume that the application was fraudulent and I would like all references to that account removed from my credit history.
