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

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 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.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian for continuing to report two inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable tradelines : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX These accounts have been disputed multiple times, yet Experian has refused to delete them and has failed to provide certified verification from the furnishers. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX Originally reported with derogatory late payment history ( 30, 60, 90, 120 days past due ) leading to closure at credit grantors request. 
Reports a Date of Status of XX/XX/XXXX without certified verification. 
Payment history coding conflicts with the closure status and {$0.00} balance. 
Previously linked to a bankruptcy public record that has since been deleted from my file ( referenced in CFPB Complaint # XXXX ). By continuing to report derogatory data tied to a non-existent bankruptcy, Experian is reintroducing previously removed information in violation of FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). 
XXXX XXXX XXXX Reports severe delinquencies ( 90, 60, 30 days late ) from XX/XX/XXXX through XXXX XXXX. 
Balance history shows {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} payments every month since XX/XX/XXXX, making the delinquency coding impossible and unverifiable. 
Late payment notation in XXXX XXXX constitutes re-aging of delinquency data years after closure, in violation of XXXX XXXX guidelines. 
Account shows {$0.00} balance and Closed as of XXXX XXXX, yet continues to display recent delinquencies. 
FCRA Violations ( Both Accounts ) 1681e ( b ) : Failure to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

1681i ( a ) : Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation.

1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) : Failure to delete unverifiable information.

1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) : Reintroduction of previously disputed information without certified verification.

Metro 2 Violations Improper Payment History coding that contradicts balance history.

Inaccurate or missing Date of First Delinquency ( DOFD ).

Contradictory Account Status and Special Comment codes.

Re-aging of delinquency data after account closure. 
Consumer Harm These inaccuracies have damaged my credit scores and reputation, resulting in denials of credit, higher interest rates, and reputational harm.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a pre-approval request for a Capital One credit card. I was denied based on an internal review that claimed inconsistent activity on a prior Capital One account. 

This reason is inaccurate. I had a previous Capital One account that was fully paid off and closed without any misuse, missed payments, or suspicious behavior. I contacted Capital One Customer Service multiple times for clarification, but I was repeatedly given vague explanations or transferred without resolution. 

I believe this denial is either based on incorrect internal records or a misunderstanding. Capital One has refused to provide specific details or documentation regarding what they considered inconsistent usage. 

I am requesting that Capital One provide a clear explanation and documentation of the issue, correct any inaccurate internal records, and reconsider my eligibility for credit products.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- 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. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
Since almost the same date last year, I started getting charged interest charges and past due charges on a card I never requested. I didnt know until months later, so I started making payments on it, because it was almost {$200.00}, I even got a payment plan set up to pay it off. Since they continued to charge me past due charges, even after my requests and calls to them, with them telling me theyre getting my payments and saying they still cant stop the past due charges, I stopped for a bit after not having a job for the past XXXX months. Its almost {$250.00} now, even though Ive still been trying to pay it for the past year. I never knew there was a place that could help me with it so Ive just been struggling to pay it as I scrape by myself on finances. Its also completely tanked my credit score to the point where itd take YEARS to build back up.

Such unethical practices undermine the integrity of the debt collection process and cause undue distress to consumers. 3. Furthermore, the agency lacks the authority to furnish any account to consumer reporting agencies without adhering to the necessary disclosures mandated by law. By neglecting to fulfil their obligations under 12 CER 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S 2 ( 7 ) ( A ) capital oneis flagrantly disregarding consumer protection statutes. I demand that CFPB investigate these egregious Legal Basis for Dispute : 1.
