Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, 2022, Capital One solicited me, offering to issue a {$200.00} credit card if I put a deposit of {$200.00} in an account as security. I applied and was accepted. I used the card once, paid the bill, never carried a balance but in XXXX, the company closed the card account even though I was never late and have a XXXX balance. The credit bureau said this closed account damaged my credit, so I called Capital One to find out why the account was closed. After several calls, someone said I had an earlier account ( I think it was over 15 years ago ) and there was an " issue '', so this new account was closed. Meanwhile, Capital One CONTINUES to send solicitations for cards to rebuild my credit. 

Capital One should have done any due diligence up front before issuing a " credit rebuilding '' credit card, rather than issuing a card, reporting an open account to credit bureaus, then revoking the account ( when I owe XXXX and have paid on time ). Given the Capital One marketing of these secured cards as credit rebuiders, I believe they should re-open the account with the same limit as before ( fully secured by my cash deposit ) and the bank should conduct any background checks or due diligence BEFORE issuing cards, not as they have acted here, claiming that " something '' happened 15 years ago ( but not explaining what that was ). Capital One damaged my credit, falsely advertised its products and failed to follow laws concerning extending credit.

I went ahed and responded to the furnisher directly because you closed out the previous complained as resolved.

Yesterday, I called XXXX directly and asked them why do you keep reporting X in the payment history and the rep replied because the furnisher does not and we have to report X because the furnisher has no knowledge. I am filing this complaint seeking the enforcement of complete, accurate and verifiable information reported in my consumer report. The lack of cooperation from the furnisher only shows violation of policy, adjusting the delinquency and re-aging the status of the account. Furthermore, the balance due at the time of the first delinquency was around {$110.00} but we have a charge off amount of {$640.00} Furnisher is reporting false payment history and attempting to re-age account with the intent to continue to add unnow fees beyond the time allowed by law, the fees are in excess for example if a payment due is {$8.00} and consumer fails to make the payment, the late fee is 2-3x higher per violation vs the min payment due. XXXX does not want to loose the business or the account and is not enforcing the furnisher agreement instead they are just omitting, deleting and not abiding by the laws of FCRA.

XXXX replied to my email, " certainly. '' On XX/XX/2022, I had a conversation with XXXX and quickly determined that he was only interested in pressing me to move. I verbally mentioned to him again that I do not want them to run my credit because I was merely making an inquiry, gathering information about the home buying process to determine what my next steps were. He again agreed, then dismissively went on to ask me what my apprehensions were about buying a home. I explained I am researching the process and further into the conversation realized that I did not want to work with him and politely wrapped up the conversation with, I am not ready and still have some work to do. XXXX replied, " ok when you are ready, just give us a call and we can get going. '' On XX/XX/2022, I received an alert from my credit monitoring app which informed me that there was a hard inquiry. When I logged in, I saw that there was an unauthorized credit check for a mortgage through credit plus, and xacatus.

Complaint narrative:
Company is US Bank. FDIC Certification # XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OH XXXX Check fraud occurred on the account on XXXX, two checks were washed and mobile deposited. One for {$3500.00} ( check # XXXX ) and the second for {$4400.00} ( check # XXXX ). The second check did not clear based on insufficient funds. Both of these checks are still physically still in my checkbook. US Bank did not catch these checks, I did and froze the account. As of this date, XXXX, the bank has not returned the money even though they have admitted the checks were fraud during numerous phone calls. They keep stating they have to complete their fraud investigation process. A local bank branch manager has looked into the case and has stated US Bank is trying to get the money back from the bank institution that processed the mobile deposit. I have called daily and weekly to get updates and they still will not give an answer as to when our money will be returned. 

Their investigation has no relevance to our money being returned, they can investigate on their time. They have admitted the checks were fraud and need to return the money immediately. Their fraud process is terribly flawed to the point of punishing the consumer it has affected. Their security measures to prevent check fraud greatly failed and they will not provide any information relevant to when the money will be returned.
