Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
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. I know for FACT I did not give, nor do you have my written instructions to furnish my information. Since I did not give you written consent to do such, that is identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. It has harmed my family and I severely. THESE CREDIT INACCURACIES ARE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR LIVELIHOOD. As it has stopped my son and I from getting proper shelter, a car and employment. I am demanding these items be deleted IMMEDIATELY! 


This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I expect a written response from your credit bureau within 4 days of receiving this letter. Failure to respond will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter further, including reporting the violation to the appropriate regulatory authorities and pursuing legal remedies available under the FCRA. 

I, XXXX XXXX state that the information you are reporting is not information relating to any transaction that I made by the consumer.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this statement to provide an account of the interactions and communications with Capital One regarding the validation of a debt, verification of claim, and the provision of a copy of the contract. 

On XX/XX/2023, I initiated contact with Capital One by sending a formal letter in accordance with my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). In this initial letter, I explicitly requested the following information : I requested a detailed accounting that explains how the debt was calculated, verification of a signed invoice or lawful claim against me, and a copy of the contract that binds both parties. These requests were made in accordance with my legal rights under the FDCPA, and I awaited a response from Capital One to fulfill these obligations. 

Subsequent to my initial communication, I reiterated my requests on XX/XX/2023, in an effort to ensure clarity and proper documentation. 

On XX/XX/2023, Capital One responded to my requests, stating that they were unable to provide a copy of the contract. They explained that the credit card application had been taken over the phone, and as such, no wet ink signature had been collected for the credit card agreement. This response raised concerns, as it failed to provide adequate validation of the debt and did not address the other elements of my request. 

To further address the matter, I requested verification of the debt once more on XX/XX/2023, hoping for a comprehensive and satisfactory response. 

However, on XX/XX/2023, Capital One once again responded, indicating their inability to provide the requested information. 

Throughout this process, my primary goal was to obtain proper validation of the debt, verification of the claim against me, and a copy of the contract that binds both parties. These requests were made to ensure transparency, adherence to the law, and my rights as a consumer under the FDCPA. 

Despite multiple communications and requests, Capital One has not provided the necessary documentation to meet these legal requirements. As such, this situation has not been resolved to my satisfaction, and I remain concerned about the validity of the debt and the lack of transparency in this matter. 

I believe that the actions and practices outlined above may constitute violations of my rights under the FDCPA, and I am committed to seeking a just and lawful resolution to this issue. 

I respectfully request a thorough investigation into these matters and a resolution that aligns with the principles of fairness, transparency, and adherence to the law.
