Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I closed my Capital One credit account recently, and in doing so, I asked for a number to pay the account off in full. I was given a number, paid it, thinking I wouldnt have any further charges, and I was still charged ~ {$400.00} in interest following the requested pay off. By my understanding, when I asked to pay the account off in full, the interest charges should have been calculated to that date. Now Capital One is refusing to wave the interest charges that I believe should have been included in the pay off amount.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
The late payment remark on my credit report is negatively impacting my FICO score, and I am requesting its removal to ensure my credit profile accurately reflects my financial responsibility. Payment history accounts for approximately 35 % of my FICO score, making it the most significant factor in credit scoring. A single late payment can cause a substantial drop in my score, especially if I previously had a strong payment record. 

This inaccurate late payment is unfairly lowering my creditworthiness and affecting my ability to secure financial opportunities, such as obtaining a loan or favorable interest rates. Additionally, lenders and financial institutions rely on FICO scores to assess risk, and this incorrect remark could result in higher borrowing costs or even denials of credit applications. 

I am formally disputing this error under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which grants me the right to challenge inaccurate or unverifiable information on my credit report. If the late payment can not be verified or is incorrect, it must be removed. Furthermore, I am requesting a goodwill adjustment from the creditor, as I have a history of responsible financial management, and this late payment does not accurately represent my reliability.
