Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, TX XXXX XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as formal notice regarding a Capital One account ( Account No. ending in XXXX ) that continues to appear on my XXXX  credit report as of XX/XX/XXXX, showing a charge-off balance of {$2600.00}. 

I have disputed this account multiple times and submitted a valid FTC Identity Theft Report, police report, and supporting documentation under FCRA 1681c-2, requesting the account be blocked and permanently deleted.

Despite this, XXXX  closed the dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, marking the account as verifiedyet failed to provide any documentation in response to my Method of Verification ( MOV ) request, as required under FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ). Capital One also failed to provide any signed contract, original application, or any form of documentation linking me to the alleged debt. 

This pattern indicates a sham investigation and violates the following federal laws : FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation FCRA 1681i ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) Failure to provide the method of verification FCRA 1681c-2 ( a ) Failure to block identity theft accounts after documentation FCRA 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain maximum possible accuracy Furthermore, Capital One acknowledged on XX/XX/XXXX, in a CFPB complaint response, that I may be a victim of identity theft, yet continued to furnish derogatory information. XXXX  verified the account that same day, creating a clear contradiction. 

This account is still : Reporting a {$2600.00} charge-off balance Showing late payments and derogatory history from XXXX to XXXX  Scheduled to remain until XX/XX/XXXX, despite being disputed under FCRA 1681c-2 These actions also violate XXXX XXXX guidelines, as the account should have been coded with Compliance Condition Code X ( consumer claims fraud ), and all balance reporting should have ceased. 

Please be advised : A lawsuit has already been filed in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am currently awaiting a scheduled court date to pursue statutory damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act for willful and negligent violations. This pending legal action involves both XXXX  and Capital One. 

If this account is not removed immediately, I will proceed with : 1. The pending small claims court lawsuit 2. Updated complaints with the CFPB, FTC, and the Texas Attorney General 3. Full pursuit of all available civil damages under the FCRA Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
This letter serves as a follow-up to my previous complaint submitted last month regarding a fraudulent account that has been incorrectly reported on my credit file. I am reaching out once again to formally request your assistance in filing a complaint against NAVY FCU for their continued failure to address this matter appropriately. Account in Question : Creditor : NAVY FCU XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1200.00}, NAVY FCU XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1000.00}. I have strong reason to believe that this account was opened fraudulently using my personal information. I did not open, authorize, or consent to the creation of this account, and its presence on my credit report is both erroneous and harmful. Despite several attempts to resolve this matter directly with NAVY FCU, they have failed to investigate or take corrective action. I have disputed this account multiple times, yet it continues to remain on my credit report, causing unjustified damage to my credit standing.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint serves as a formal follow-up to the complaint I submitted last month regarding the unauthorized and fraudulent use of my Social Security number and personal identifying information. This correspondence reiterates and reinforces my demand for the immediate removal of all accounts that were fraudulently opened in my name. 

These accounts were not authorized, opened, or consented to by me and are not reflective of any legitimate financial activity. Their continued presence on my credit report is both inaccurate and damaging. 

Legal Grounds for Immediate Deletion : Pursuant to the following federal laws and regulations, I demand the permanent deletion of all fraudulent data : 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 : I am exercising my right to request the removal of all information resulting from identity theft. You are obligated to comply with this request.

15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) : Any credit transaction involving the unauthorized use of a Social Security number must be excluded from any consumer report.

15 U.S. Code 1692j : Misrepresenting a debt or furnishing deceptive forms is a direct violation of federal law. 

Demand for Immediate Action : Let me be absolutely clear : These accounts are fraudulent.

Your continued reporting of them is reckless and potentially unlawful. 

I demand that all fraudulent accounts and inquiries be deleted from my credit file immediately. 

Any collection efforts tied to these accounts must cease and desist without delay.

Complaint narrative:
Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, multiple credit inquiries were incorrectly reported to my consumer credit file. These inquiries originated from XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX, and were not authorized or initiated by me. Upon investigation, I confirmed that these entries are tied to my late stepfather, who passed away on XX/XX/XXXX, as documented in the attached Certificate of Death issued by XXXX XXXX, Illinois. 
The inquiries include : - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX These entries were likely generated during medical-related screenings and financial evaluations while I was assisting my stepfather with healthcare access. They do not reflect my own credit activity and were misattributed to my account. I previously contacted the creditors and the credit bureau to request removal, but no corrective action was taken within the 30 business days required by law. 
Additionally, my credit report contains inaccurate personal information, including errors in my name, address, and date of birth, which I have also attempted to correct without success.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. 

This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.
