Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

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.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2025, XXXX unauthorized withdrawals ( {$500.00} and {$800.00} ) were taken from my Capital One checking account after I revoked an external linked account belonging to my ex-fianc, XXXX XXXX, under XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

XX/XX/2025 I was assaulted by XXXX XXXX. That same day I called Capital One, updated my address, and requested removal of the linked account. 
XX/XX/2025 Capital One confirmed the external account was removed. 
March 1517, 2025 Despite this removal, two debits ( {$500.00} and {$800.00} ) were processed to XXXX XXXX account. These were not authorized transactions. 
Shortly after, XXXX XXXX filed a false fraud claim with his bank, which resulted in additional funds being withdrawn from my Capital One account. His bank protected him under false pretenses, while my bank denied my claim. 
XX/XX/2025 I filed a police report for Grand Theft by False Pretenses, which law enforcement is treating as a criminal matter. The officer requested a fraud affidavit from Capital One. Despite repeated follow-ups, supervisors told me we do not provide affidavits, blocking the investigation. 

I provided Capital One with extensive supporting evidence : police report, transaction history, text messages showing routing/account numbers and threats, a photo of his bank card, and IRS records . 
Capital One denied my claim, labeling it domestic fraud. This misclassification ignores that the withdrawals occurred after access was revoked, making them unauthorized under Regulation E.

Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
I had a CD mature with XXXX XXXX. At the time, Marcus of Goldman Sachs had the best rate at 4.5 %. I transferred my money straight from Capital One to them and opened a CD with them. About a month later I had a letter delivered for me to get a hold of them. Thinking it was a statement, I didn't open it immediately. Then about 6 days later I received another letter. Knowing that It couldn't be another statement that soon, i opened both up. The first one said contact them and the second said my account was closed showing penalty for early withdrawal. I have called several times and can't get any information regarding it. Today a supervisor I talked to as much as told me I wasn't getting it back then turned around and said there was a another dispute in the system and to keep checking with them. I funded the account on XX/XX/year> with {$440000.00}. As I remember there where two small deposits done to verify the account then the money was transferred. XX/XX/XXXX is the date of the letter closing my account. Since then I have called multiple times and I can't find out anything about my money. Every time I waste 30-60 minutes on these calls. This is costing me money every month, all for trusting them with my money. I want my money and all the lost interest that would have accrued.
