Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was charged a {$95.00} annual fee on my XXXX XXXX Capital One credit card ( XXXX ) statement. Before the due date ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) of the XXXX XXXX  statement, I wrote a letter asking that my card be closed and the annual fee removed because I would no longer be using the card. The card was paid in full with the exception of the {$95.00} annual fee. Thus, I met the requirements of Capital One. The card was not closed and when I called customer service they confirmed that my letter was received and they waived the late fee and interest charges and stated that the {$95.00} annual fee removal would be " escalated ''. I was assured multiple times that there would be no issue. Perhaps Capital One records these calls and verify that my position is correct. Or, look at the notes that the customer service representative wrote down. Thereafter I kept getting statements with the annual fee and new interest and fee charges. I did not use the card because I considered it closed. When I called again, I was told that it would " escalated '' to the " highest level ''. The annual fee is still present and now Capital One is filing credit notices on my credit report. Capital One should close my account XXXX and remove the annual fee and all other fees and interest. I met the requirements of closure.

MYFICO has recently reported that Equifax has dropped my score. When I contacted Equifax, the reps were unable to provide a valid reason as to why my score was dropped. My Revolving accounts are in good standing, under 30 % and my debt has gone down since last month. I have one collection from years ago that was paid in full years ago. when I called. Equifax customer service the rep had no clue and was not making sense. He tried to blame my collection account but failed to realize that Equifax raised my score since that account had been paid in full. So, why would it matter this month? They are retaliating because I reported them and they're continuing their misconduct

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Rowland Avenue Management, Inc. A/KA Columbia Debt Recovery, LLC d/b/a Genesis
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am guarantor for my son 's lease of a " cottage '' up at XXXX XXXX, PA for school year beginning XXXX and ending XXXX. We helped him move out at the end of XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ). The lease was with " XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX '' and they apparently send any final fees owed to them to a collection agency, in this case it was " Columbia Debt Recovery LLC, dba Genesis ''. 
We received our " Initial Notice '' email from them on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX that we owe {$170.00}, which includes {$0.00} in interest charges. 
I called " Columbia Debt Recovery LLC, dba Genesis '' at the number listed in the email to get a list of items we were being charged for after leaving the rental property. 
I stated I am OK with the charges and that I would pay within the next couple of days via the online link provided in the email. 
The representative then proceeded to inform me a accruing interest on a daily basis and stated if I pay NOW over the phone the {$0.00}, in interest will be " waived ''. 
Well, that didn't go over well with me, I then asked about this interest and the representative stated that it has been accruing since THEY were notified to collect the debt ( I believe she stated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). 
I then asked, how is it they can charge me interest starting from XXXX XX/XX/XXXX when I just received the initial notice today. 
NOTE : The representative did state at the beginning of our conversation that it is being recorded. 
Today, I am writing them a check and mailing it for the amount they say I owe MINUS the {$0.00} interest they claim I owe. 
I am writing to you to report this because I am thinking this is illegal activity and how many other people have they done this to where people just go ahead and pay the interest.
