Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
The company Capital One actually I am pretty certain and have been calling the correct authorities to confirm this, but I am very certain that they have broken the usury laws, and it has become a predatory lending issue. They are charging me 18 % and the XXXX in SC that I can find online, but still don't have XXXX solid sources of this, but the XXXX should be 16 % interest on a car loan. 

They have been charging me {$350.00} a month for a car that is not even worth that. I have bought the car used a year ago for over XXXX and now still owe about XXXX and after a year of payments and a XXXX blue book research of my car, it comes in at a price of {$4500.00} now. That's a massive difference between what they still wish to be paid, compared to what it is worth. 

They have started the repo process, but not totally sure they really know where I am. I would like to keep the car, but drop the interest down to something reasonable. I need these payments to be well under {$250.00} a month and I can make those payments and get caught up on the money that is behind, but rather, since they are pretty much caught breaking the law then they will be forced by court to pay back all the interest they acquired that was illegal, that can go towards my car payments. 

Furthermore, I am not trying to get anything free, just fair and legal. Even 16 % is way too high, and I didn't know this when purchasing the car, but now I am very aware of it and my rights and the law.
