Complaint narrative:
Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified accounts listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verified that these accounts are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to ... promptly CORRECT or DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Section 616 and Section 617 provide me with a remedy which Im about to seek. You are willful non-complying with the FCRA.

Since you claim youve verified the accounts listed below I wanted to confirm my thoughts and contacted the banks directly. They did not provide me with any verifiable proof. So, my question comes up again, WHO VERIFIED THESE ACCOUNTS? I believe you have not verified these accounts based on Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & I will be seeking a legal remedy. 

Please DELETE the accounts, or inaccurate information, from my file immediately XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I lost my job because of COVID-19 crisis and I faced significant financial hardship. 

Then it became very difficult for me to pay the credit cards on time because I had to buy food and housing to survive, so I contacted the creditor CAPITAL ONE to request some time to be able to pay the cards due to the crisis we were experiencing, the creditor told me that there was no problem but, they still reported in my history that I did not pay on time, violating the CARES Act by covid-19, I contacted them again and they told me that they could not do anything that it was going to stay that way, forgetting all the aid that the government in power had provided, affecting my credit history. 

despite this request and the compliance with the CARES Act, CAPITAL ONE reported those payments as late on my credit report. 

All those requests were made by telephone calls. 

I kindly request that the CFPB investigate this matter, as I believe CAPITAL ONE has failed to comply with the CARES Act provisions and is unfairly damaging my credit history. 

It should be noted that as soon as I was able to recover, I fulfilled my obligation to pay the entire debt.
