I took a look at my credit reports and I noticed that there were some unauthorized inquiries. I have sent a FTC report and I haven't gotten a response nor a deletion of these inquiries. I then submitted another FTC report to remove these inquiries as it is identity theft. Pursuant to 18 U.S. Code this is Aggravated Identity Theft because these agencies have been made aware of the situation and they did not take action in correcting this issue.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Last month I sent a dispute letter to your company regarding an alleged charged off account on my credit report. I asked your company for the debt validation letter as well as the 1099c form for the debt you claimed was written off in the amount of {$14000.00}. I also informed you that I was instructed by the IRS to file form 3949a for illegal tax violations. I was waiting until Capital One did their due diligence and properly investigated, but I will now move forward with filing form 3949a because I am now under the impression that maybe some dishonest and unprofessionalism is going on. This dispute is to inform you that not only have you failed to send the requested documents, but you also failed to inform the credit bureaus that this account was/is in an open dispute so that they can properly notate the account to inform other creditors. You have potentially caused me to lose out on offers due to reporting this inaccurate item and not notating it was disputed. I am attaching my credit report as of XX/XX/24 to show that there is no note on the account as well as the discrepancies in the payment history being reported. How can XXXX report XXXX missed payments while XXXX report XXXX? Your company is not credible, and this is obvious gross misconduct. I am also attaching the dispute letter, which is dated, and time stamped, which will also show that you failed to provide the required documentation. The items below should all be removed from my consumer report under 15 USC 1681s-2 ( 3 ) : XXXX
