Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a followup : I understand it may take over 60 days to get a response, but I'm now receiving more emails from Capital One asking me to log into my account and set up text messaging for this unauthorized account ending in XXXX. I have been successful, as I don't have a username or password to get into this account, nor do I want to since I didn't open it. 
They have charged me over 6 months of late fees on the unauthorized account ending in XXXX. 

This is the FIRST info I knew of this account : Tue, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX About your VentureOne Credit Card ending in XXXX Hi XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Your statement is available online. 
Statement balance : {$310.00} Minimum payment : {$250.00} Payment due date : XX/XX/year> by XXXX XXXX XXXX Tue, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Youve successfully added your account ending in XXXX from DEBIT CARD. This account can now be used to make payments to your Capital One accounts. 

Were sending this confirmation for your account security. No additional action is required. 

If you didnt link this account, please visit our Information Protection Center. 

Thanks for choosing Capital One. 
Note : I did NOT ask to have my account linked with Capital One. ( I asked for a one-time payment of the outstanding balance of the unauthorized account so as NOT to continue late fees. ) Youve successfully added your account ending in XXXX from DEBIT CARD. This account can now be used to make payments to your Capital One accounts. 


Tue, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX Hi XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Weve noticed youre not set up to receive important account alerts via text or call from us. 
By enabling alerts for your mobile phone number, you can get notified quickly with important account information and updates. Rest assured, we will only use your mobile number to contact you about your relationship with Capital One and not for any marketing communications. 

Im unable to log in to this unauthorized account ending in XXXX. I dont know the full account number or the password. I had alerts via text on the old account that was canceled due to fraud. But when Capital One created this new unauthorized account ending in XXXX six or more months later, they didnt inform me, didnt turn on text messages, and didnt have my new address to inform me of their actions of extending credit to third parties on the new account they created. 

I can not see my online credit reports because the system will not recognize my username and password. 

I want Capital One to stop using this fraudulent account, which ended in XXXX, so that my credit report and finances can be restored. This just can not be allowed.

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I used my card to purchase a tailored suit in XXXX. The service wasn't good because it was delayed, they were not proactive in telling me that the suit would be delayed and even asked me to pay for shipping because I live in a different city. I got the suit and the suit was so bad, there was a hole inside the jacket, the tailored button shirt wasn't made for me because I was struggling to put in the button, too tight, and so many thread ends. They asked me if they could fix the suit for me but I can't because I need the suit to bring back to the US for events and they can't fix it before that. I told them I could send it back and get a refund but they rejected it. I called my bank to dispute the charge on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, one of the employees texted me saying they were willing to get the suit back and refund me, I didn't get the message because I was not in XXXX anymore. On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked and saw the message and we both agreed that the solution was still available. I got an email from my bank saying they gave them some support evidence and I don't mind it because we all agreed that I send the suit back and get my money back. After all, I thought they told the bank our deal. On XX/XX/XXXX, my brother sent it back to them and they received it the same day. The lady texted me on the XXXX saying they received it already and would process the money back. I've been waiting and the lady keeps saying waiting for the accountant ... and then they just ghost me at this point. I called the bank and they said nothing they can do about it.

Complaint narrative:
" After reviewing my consumer report, I noticed that there was still late payment on my consumer report which have never been late because the creditor failed to provide any proof or evidence so this needs to be corrected immediately to paid as agreed and never late. This account is related to a transaction and experience that falls under the EXCLUSION section of the FCRA 's definitions, rules of construction section. It was also reported without my written consent and therefore is a result of identity theft ( as defined by the Federal Trade Commission ), and the account SHALL be Corrected. This account is not related to any transaction authorized by me, the consumer as I did not give written instructions to your agency to report this, which is a violation of the permissible purpose section of the FCRA, which holds your agency name liable for damages of at least {$1000.00} per the civil liability section for willful non-compliance. Please CORRECT this item from my consumer report! According to15 U.S. Code 1681b - Permissible purposes of consumer reports The Law clearly states : ( a ) In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I clearly did not give your agency written authorization or written instructions to report this information. Your agency is conspiring with these creditors against me in committing aggravated identity theft and I have sustained defamation of my character, just to name a couple damages should this matter escalate to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures- ( b ) Accuracy of report Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information ( A ) In general if, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall -- i ) promptly delete that item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that item of information, as appropriate, based on the results of the reinvestigation ; and ii ) promptly notify the furnisher of that information that the information has been modified or deleted from the file of the consumer.

To ensure that your company is reporting accounts 100 % accurately, I would like to know the procedures used to investigate these inaccurate accounts. Did you even conduct an investigation because it is still not reporting 100 % correctly? Its sad that your company would ignore the FTC guidelines in regard to your investigation efforts. I wonder if other consumers are being affected by your lack of investigation. I would like to know to whom you talked with at the collectors office when you started your investigation? Also, please send me their complete address. In addition, please do not send your template letter on how you conduct an investigation. I want details on how you did this.

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

I have previously contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX via phone, email, and written correspondence to explain and provide documentation regarding a medical condition that resulted in a single 30-day late payment in XX/XX/year>. This situation coincided with the servicing transfer of my loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Unfortunately, the transfer did not include the correct contact details, despite my reliance on auto-payment and notification features to ensure timely payments. 

In XX/XX/year>, despite having autopay configured, I missed a payment due to my health issues. I was only made aware of this oversight on XX/XX/year>, when I received a notification about a significant drop in my credit score. I immediately rectified the missed payment and sought assistance to address the late payment mark with all three credit bureaus. However, my repeated efforts since XX/XX/year> to communicate with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have thus far resulted only in acknowledgments of receipt, without any substantive response or resolution. 

The agents who have answered my calls have been unable to effectuate any changes due to limitations in their authority. It appears that these agents lack the means to escalate issues to their supervisors or the appropriate decision-makers within their credit department. Given the urgent nature of my situationrequiring a loan for essential repairs to my home, which is severely affected by mold and termite damageI respectfully request your offices help in this matter.
