Consumer complaint received 2024-04-08 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Application denied
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a Capital One Business credit card. I was informed to provide secondary documents which I did. I provided The annual report to the state and my tax return which was initially accepted and then when I called back, they said they will not accept it. They declined my annual report to the state, which was prepared by my tax consultant. After that, I provided two Additional documents with my business name, my bank statement, and water bill. Per the letter it stated documents need to have the business name on them. Both the bank statement and water bill have my business name on it. When I called back, they said they cant accept those documents because they also have my name on them. Nowhere in their letter does it say that it is to only have the business name and not my name. I am the business owner, and I dont know any bank that is putting out a bank statement without also putting the owner name on the bank statement. I feel like I am being discriminated against for reasons that I do not understand. I have consulted with my tax consultant who says he has never seen this happen and I have provided all supporting documents. I also have a XXXX XXXX of XXXX so there is no reason why they should not approve me after providing all the documents they Requested. I have provided every single type of document with the business name and address, and they still are denying me. Nowhere on the Forms requested does it say it can not also have the business owners name on it.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed this XXXX account several times with the three major credit bureaus and each time they change/update something random on my payment history. This has happened several times and the account has been closed for years meaning the payment history has not changed, but they " update '' it in order to look like they have investigated my dispute, when I'm fact they have not. Each time I dispute it, they change the payment history to make it appear as if they are reinvestigating when I am sure they are not. They have ignored my mail in disputes. When I mailed in disputes, they failed to respond, and it has been over 365 days. When I do an online dispute, they pretend to update. All of my efforts have been ignored or not appropriately investigated. The bureaus have ignored their burden of proof and left this account on my credit report for long enough. I need this account deleted.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: MOHELA
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My payment counts are incorrect ( I have paid more times than Mohela has counted ). I followed directions to dispute this by uploading a document to the portal as directed. This was on XXXX. The automatic message said I would receive a response within 90 business days. After the 90 business days ended, I have called at least 6 times with average wait/call times of 3 hours. The longest wait time was over 5 hours. Each time the representative is unable to answer any of my questions or provide an update about when my dispute will be addressed. After the longest call of 5 hours I was told the issue would be escalated and I would receive a call back from their supervisor within 5 business days. That was several months ago and I never received a call. Other times I have been disconnected with no means to get back in touch with the representative other than waiting for several more hours on hold. They are impossible to get ahold of and even more impossible to have solutions. I have never received any meaningful information despite approximately 15 hours on the phone with their representatives or on hold. 

Other times I have been put on forbearance ( against my will - requiring call of several hours to go back into repayment ) and had incorrect payment amounts listed. 

I should be eligible for loan forgiveness at this time ( actually I should have been eligible in XXXX if they had addressed my dispute letter ) but I still have to continue to make payments due to their incompetence.

Complaint narrative:
About a year ago I discovered I had been a victim of identity theft again when I found an auto loan showing up on my credit report with Bank of America that does not belong to me. My personal information had been used to obtain credit cards and loans without my knowledge. I immediately filed a report on XXXX and sent a copy to all the major credit reporting agencies and the original creditor.

I once again contacted the credit reporting agencies and Bank of America directly but they have not responded to my request to remove the item.
