Company: NBT BANCORP INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, my partner and I submitted a pre-qualification construction loan application for a house we were auctioning for. Later that day, the loan originator sent us another link to start a pre-qualification process. This created two loan applications. 

The loan originator said he had canceled the first application, but the bank nonetheless made two hard inquiries on our credit reports, one on XX/XX/2022, and another one on XX/XX/2022. 

On XX/XX/2022, we followed up with the loan originator, and asked him about this, since we never authorized two hard inquiries. We again followed up on XX/XX/2022, when he said he had sent this to upper management. 

We again followed up on XX/XX/2022. On XX/XX/2022, he just responded that he had " sent this on a while ago. '' On XX/XX/XXXX, he said he would send it to their credit agency representative to ask for removal. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, we called the three major credit agencies, and only XXXX took it off the credit report. However, XXXX and XXXX required a letter from NBT Bank specifically requesting the removal. We sent him that via email, and we tried calling the bank several times but we could not get ahold of someone that would talk to us about it. They only took our information and never called back. The loan originator never responded to our email. 

So now we have an additional credit inquiry that shouldn't be there and a bank that won't help us.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I recently applied to a Capital One XXXX credit card. I was denied for no reason and no explanation, which makes absolutely no sense. I have a XXXX credit score, have not applied to any credit cards recently. I'm below the thresholds for inquiries, so there is no reason to deny. 

I am planning on traveling and I believed Capital One XXXX is the right choice for myself. I have credit cards little to no balances, great income and excellent credit and to be treated unfairly and unjust with no negative reporting on my report and a high credit score is outrageous and seems discriminatory. 

I tried calling reconsideration line asking for explanations and a reconsideration even by moving balances around if that is what was required, and they were absolutely no help and said to reapply again. This is very unethical on their side. Why would I reapply when that will count as another hard inquiry, and they can reconsider. I would be happy with the credit card for its travel perks and want to be reconsidered. But this makes me lose faith in this bank for treating me unfairly. I feel I'm being discriminated by my age, which is unfair. I demand a response and a resolution. Thank you.
