Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because a consumer reporting agency and/or data furnisher has violated my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) and 1681n. My credit report reflects several inquiries related to credit or insurance transactions that I neither initiated nor authorized. 

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ), a consumer reporting agency may not furnish a report for a credit or insurance transaction not initiated by the consumer unless the consumer has provided explicit authorization or the inquiry is tied to a firm offer of credit or insurance. I did not authorize the release of my information, nor did I receive any qualifying offers.

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.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY. 

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system. 

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Problem getting a working replacement card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
* * Subject : Formal Complaint Against Capital One for Unfair Practices Regarding Credit Card Replacement * * To whom it may concern,, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Capital One Bank for engaging in what I believe to be deceptive and unfair practices designed to exploit customers into incurring unnecessary fees. 

On around or about, XX/XX/XXXX ], 2025, I requested a replacement for my expired credit card, only to be informed that Capital One would not issue or mail a new card because my current account was * * {$0.00} over the credit limit * *. This appears to be a deliberate tactic to prevent me from making timely payments, thereby increasing the likelihood of a late payment and triggering an unjust fee. 

This practice is unacceptable for the following reasons : 1. * * Unfair Obstruction of Payment * * By refusing to issue a new card, Capital One is effectively blocking my ability to make payments on time.

2. * * Predatory Fee Generation * * The bank appears to be engineering scenarios where customers are forced into late payments, allowing them to collect excessive fees.

3. * * Lack of Good Faith * * A {$0.00} over-limit balance is negligible and could easily be waived or addressed without denying a necessary service. 


Please provide confirmation of receipt of this complaint and inform me of any actions taken. I can reach me at XXXX XXXX for further details. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Responsibility Submitted, XXXX XXXX XXXX.
