Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has reported multiple hard inquiries on my credit file that I did not initiate, authorize, or consent to. This conduct violates my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ), as well as 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ). These provisions prohibit the reporting of inquiries not initiated by the consumer unless there is lawful permissible purpose, prior written authorization, or a firm offer of credit.

I have never provided consent for these inquiries, nor have I authorized any third party to access my credit information. The continued reporting of these unauthorized inquirieswithout verifiable proof of permissible purpose, such as a copy of my signed authorizationconstitutes a clear violation of federal law. I respectfully request that this matter be corrected immediately.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Experian credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of personal credit card opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, a personal loan opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, another personal loan at XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, another personal loan opened at XXXX XXXX  XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. The following is a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer FICO credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, charge offs or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.

Complaint narrative:
There are ongoing inaccuracies being reported on my consumer credit report. Although some items have been corrected, the repeated back-and-forth since XX/XX/year> has become cumbersome and inefficient. I have consistently provided documentation showing that I am dealing with ongoing identity theft issues, yet several inaccurate items remain.

At this pointespecially as we near the end of the year. I am requesting immediate removal of the remaining inaccurate information. I have supplied all necessary proof multiple times, and the continued reporting of these errors is causing unnecessary hardship. I am asking for a final resolution and deletion of all remaining inaccurate items from my consumer report.

Complaint narrative:
DO NOT send me any stall letters to delay or misdirect this investigation this complaint is authorized BY ME. I am formally disputing the inaccurate, unverifiable, and unauthorized information currently being reported on my credit file, which has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and violated my consumer rights under federal law. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., I am demanding a full and reasonable reinvestigation into all derogatory accounts, personal data errors, and hard inquiries. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), the credit bureaus are required to investigate disputed information, and I demand strict compliance with this statute, including the Method of Verification ( MOV ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 7 ). For each item in question, I am requesting original source documentation specifically a signed contract bearing my signature, a complete account history, proof of permissible purpose under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, and all communications between the credit bureau and the furnisher of the information. As a victim of the Equifax Data Breach and TransUnion Data Incident, my personal information has been found on the dark web, raising serious concerns about identity theft and misuse. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has taken action against Equifax for improper handling of consumer disputes, and I have every reason to question the legitimacy and accuracy of the data currently being reported. I am scared and extremely worried because I do not know who has my information or how its being used. This is why yall keep getting sued by consumers like me because you continue to overlook clear violations and fail to properly investigate disputed data. If you are unable to provide verified, legally admissible documentation for each disputed item, you are required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) to delete the information immediately. Noncompliance will be viewed as a willful violation of the FCRA under 15 U.S.C. 1681n, and I am fully prepared to escalate this matter with formal complaints to the CFPB, FTC, and my State Attorney General. I expect a complete, legally compliant response within 30 days, as required by law. Attached are copies of my drivers license, social security card, and proof of address for identity verification. DO NOT add any fraud alerts. DO NOT add any personal statements to my credit profile. Please read this letter in its entirety before responding.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I applied for the Capital One XXXX credit card in XXXX, XXXX ( approved XX/XX/year> ) after viewing an application page that prominently advertised a 0 % introductory APR for XXXX  months. This promotional XXXX was a significant factor in my decision to apply. XXXX  since found that the 0 % promotional APR is alluded to as a ~ possibility ~ in my initial documents but missing from the terms specific to my card. The document shows the standard 25.24 % APR with no promotional offer applied, despite the fact that the application page displayed 0 % APR as part of the offer. 

I contacted Capital One, and they informed me that no promotional code was attached to my account. However, the representative also stated that promotional APRs are only applied when a specific offer code is used. I explained that I applied directly through the promotional page where the 0 % XXXX was displayed. 

I would like Capital One to confirm the application offer ID associated with my approval, which would show whether the 0 % XXXX was displayed or included in the application funnel. I believe that the promotion advertising was either not applied correctly, not displayed correctly, or misleading and deceptive. If the latter, a promotional XXXX was used to induce application, but was not honored after approval The product I received does not match the terms shown when I applied. I have since been charged a total of {$470.00} in interest and cash advances. Another problem : I have never intentionally requested a cash advance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This letter is a formal notice of dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding inaccurately reported late payment dates on the above-referenced account appearing in my credit file. 
The reported derogatory payment data is factually and legally incorrect and constitutes a violation of my rights under multiple federal statutes. 
Creditor Name : [ XXXX - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : [ XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] FCRA SECTION 602 RIGHT TO PRIVACY ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ) Under the FCRA, I have a right to privacy in the handling and dissemination of my credit information. The credit bureau is not permitted to report data that is inaccurate, unverifiable, or misleading, especially when such reporting creates a false impression of delinquency. 
FCRA SECTION 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION GIVEN ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from furnishing account information without the consumers written instructions. I have never given written authorization for the dissemination of false or misleading late payment information. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX IMPROPER LATE PAYMENT DESIGNATION ( 15 U.S.C. 1666b ) According to the Truth in Lending Act, a creditor may not treat a payment on an open-end credit account as late for any purpose if received by the due date or within the grace period. 
Reporting a late payment that was not legally late is a blatant violation of this federal protection and exposes both the data furnisher and the credit reporting agency to liability under 15 U.S.C.

1681i.
